Apartment Life: Obligatory Hate/Love Topic
Soggy Fox:
I love the witches - its half of what I liked from Makin' Magic, and the other half was in OFB/FT so....
Also love the living statue - that is so freaking cool, just wonder if I can recolour him so he looks made of bronze or gold instead of concrete.
I like the basic idea of the apartments, just really need to make my own buildings - though the little set of four row houses are pretty nice until mine are done.
I hate that they seem to have completely borked the OFB windows. I've got a collection of modern homes with these ugly red things and no way to change them without switching to custom windows. That's my bit complaint.
And how do I get to Baba's Hut?
J. M. Pescado:
The witches out of the box are severely underwhelming. There are only *TWO* potions that are actually NEW to the game, the rest being repackaged shit that they've already sold us. Of the spells, most of the are duplications of things we either already have, or could easily make. Most of the rest are just useless.

Weird. For the first time ever, I heard a little ditty play when the Unsavoury Charlatan arrived at my newly built playground Undecided, although I'm going to put this down to Argon's music fix, and not AL.
That music plays in the game sometimes when he shows up...sometimes it doesn't. I don't know why it isn't a constant thing...

Personally I really love the witches. I do think they may replace the vampires as my favorite non-human sim. I also like how they sparkle and I like both the evil green skin and the sparkly good skin. I made two sims with the intention of making one a perfectly good warlock and the other perfectly evil so I made one extremely grouchy and the other extremely nice. When both of them were turned into witches they both became instantly maxed out in their alignment. Neither one had to study to get maxed out. I don't know if it is personality based or based on something else...
I LOVE the playground and vending machines. Both have been something I have been wanting since I first started playing the game two years ago...especially the playground since none of the custom playground objects had any interactions with them. Parks are my favorite things to build and I was always frustrated that I could only put swings in the playground area.
Neutral:
...the apartments themselves. I like them and they are very handy for a poor sim to move into, but then they are left with all of this money that they can then furnish their apartment very nicely and STILL have money left over to pay the rent for a few weeks. It kind of makes the trashy apartments pointless unless you have money mods or just pretend that the sims don't have all that extra cash.
Dislikes:
I don't like my sims setting the tables out in the community areas when they serve food. I suppose in the future before I move any more sims into apartments, I'll put flowers or something on the outside tables to prevent this.

Like:
Belladonna Cove. One of the better neighborhoods they've put together. Much much better then the awful one from FT.
New objects. Lots of new outfits and hair.
New interactions.
Cute little touches...the cuddling in bed is great.
Nice arrangement of Sims 2 theme and very nice loading music
Neutral:
Apartments. Just seem sort of pointless. I would rather have a normal home that I can freely edit and have full control of. Also, too easy. You can get a decent sized apartment with a starter sim and furnish it with top of the line stuff, and you'll be fine when it comes to the rent because of the 20k handout.
Hate:
Extreme borkiness
Some errors in Belladonna Cove families
Murphy bed. It actually takes up MORE space then a normal bed!
So many ugly outfits cluttering up the everyday category
Extreme hair recolor spam. We do not need SIX HAIRS WHICH ARE IDENTICAL IN EVERY WAY BESIDES A TINY LITTLE RIBBONS COLOR.

Since I've mentioned a few dislikes in this thread, I'd thought I'd mention a few of the things I like.
- The loading music
- That the townies/socialites aren't restricted to the base game careers. I've had townies come home from work in some of Seasons careers, which is nice, and there's a townie tenant in one of the apartments who goes to work in the show biz "french fries hat" uniform. I was disappointed with previous career-adding EPs when I discovered that the townies never had jobs in the EP careers. The main reason I made my own townies was to put some of them into EP careers before I townified them.
- The playground equipment. One of my favourite items in TS1 was the jungle gym. I was disappointed with the base game when it only had swings. Finally my sim kids have something to play on.
