Apartment Life: Obligatory Hate/Love Topic
maxon:
Well, having finally got the thing loaded after it turned up yesterday (thanks so much play.com for getting it here so promptly), I can at last add something to this thread. I have hardly played yet but had a good look at the skins and objects.
My personal favourite object so far is the new fish tank and I like the vending machines, ducting and playground equipment - for different reasons obviously - too. Did anyone else notice there's some new bedding and it's not too hideous? It's not very interesting, but it's not hideous. I like many of the new neighbourhood objects including the power station even though it seems a bit small - approximately the same floor area as one of the alleys. I like the fact you can see the alleys from the lot view.
As for the skins, I like quite a lot of them though there are a number of issues. Mesh conversions - so many. Like others, I quite like many of the elder adapted meshes - the gypsyish outfit works quite well - and there's some quite nice new stuff like the loose jacket and trousers but the skirt, jumper and socks (converted from FT teen?) is meh. Some clothes suffer from over-decorated-itis (plain is good, tasteful and classy EAxis) and there are some adult male clothes with the distinctive authentic Eaxis GAH! effect. And those hairs: ain't it great to have so many variations: you can have any colour of hair clip you like? (My eyes, see how I roll them). The main thing about the new meshes for me - the main bad thing - is the feet. What's with that? Here's a pic of one of the teen dresses.
Now, I admit I have my monitor on some weird setting at the moment (owing to Vista arguing with the video card - I really need to sort that out) but even so those feet are enormous. They're as long as her shin is high. And that's not the only mesh with great flaps of meat for feet. The other main skin issue to my mind is this: WTF?

^ That's one from the 3-4 football-fan outfits added in AL. There's no shirt, it's body-spray, and there's matching face-paint too.
maxon:
I can see that - it's still WTF? If that had been made by someone at TSR, it'd be in one of the More Awful Than You threads.
Cappuccino:
Oh, sorry then, I thought you were wondering what that might be.
I won't disagree with you though, it's typical EAxis crap that is bound to be rarely used by any players.

I plan to populate a cemetery with any townies who show up in that face/body paint.
