Apartment Life: Obligatory Hate/Love Topic
Alex:
Kyna, the cheat is apparently "boolprop apartmentBuildBuyRestrictions [on/off]".
I didn't realise the sisters were remakes of Angela and Lilith (I did notice the house was the same though). Interesting... Anyway:
Good
+ I like the premade apartments, and I like the sheer amount and variety we are given with apartments, houses and community lots.
+ Great clothes. Yes some of the elder clothes are conversions, but is that really a bad thing considering they had about 2 dresses and a potato sack to wear before?
+ Spiral stairs!
+ Magic seems interesting, from what I've tinkered with.
+ Belladonna Cove. They even thought to give us a cemetary, go figure.
+ My idea to exploit the game and have multiple working apartment entrances seems to work.
+ That god awful FT loadloop has been replaced with something MUCH nicer.
+ Subtle, rather nice TS3 L&P
Bad
+ Not so subtle, rather bad TS3 L&P
- The pre-made family trees are borked to the point where I have absolutely no idea what some of the reletives are supposed to be. Is the guy the father, son or brother? WTF?!
- That annoying redundant space that is now in front of every tooltip, and how the "Needs" text is insanely tiny. Things like these drive me demented.
- The fail that is Windoze Watervista.
- No beachfront apartments, but amazingly, they at least tested that.
- The usual culprits for bugs don't apear to be in AL (have they finally realised?), instead, we get shiny new bugs.
- I can't change my witch's portrait. It will change, then automatically change to something else!
Here is the "very cool hidden lot". It might make an interesting House of Fail one day:
Batelle:
All I can think, when I see that hidden lot, is of the witch Baba Yaga and her hut with chicken legs. That must be what they were going for, they even added the lame-o chicken feet scratches in the dirt.
I'm bummed about the beach lots, I made some really cute beach condos.
For those who have played apartment lots, how nonsensical is the routing?
Gus Smedstad:
No question about it, it's Baba Yaga's house of the chicken feet. Funny how that's filtered into American culture so thoroughly that it's immediatley recognizable. Fits with the theme, but wow, it's a fairly small and trivial lot.

Is that syntax correct? Doesn't seem to be working for me when I try: "boolprop apartmentBuildBuyRestrictions off" (without the quotes), I also tried with using false since boolean properties are usually either true or false.
I found the portraits on non-witches also change. Noticed a couple of them changing when they came out of the shower in the morning.
On that out of the way lot, I put a swimming pool under the building between the spiral staircases. Haven't done anything else to it yet.
Tsarina:
They're doing it wrong.
If it was Baba Yaga's house, it wouldn't have any windows. And it would stand with its back facing the road.
