Even with moveobjects on I can't place the new shelves so that they are one above the other.
You press and hold Ctrl and Alt while having the object against the wall. First you'll want to use [ ] to move it to the desired height then place it.

another dislike - my "plumper thumper" sectional sofa isn't a sectional.
http://community.livejournal.com/thesims2/5816437.html#cutid1 It's driving me nuts.
I can't even find the new sectional sofa. I've searched all over.
I've only played a bit but so far:
Like:
The walk to school interaction. I can have kids miss the bus and stay home for nearly an hour more doing homework then send them off without being late.
Most of the new objects are great.
Dislike:
How easy roommates are to keep happy. Mine is a drunk, she drinks at the damn bar all night then shakes her ass at the stereo all night. None of the neighbors seem to notice the noise either.
Not being able to modify the apartment how I want in build mode once someone is moved in. It's understandable but whats even more annoying is not being able to modify it without anyone in it unless you rezone, save, exit, reload. WTF EAxis?
I was able to modify an apartment complex after I moved my sim to the sim bin. Once my sim was moved, all the npc's moved out too, and I didn't need to rezone to change anything. Thanks for letting us know how to add and move stuff to the walls. I'm larnin' so much!

Okay, has anyone figured out how to place two decorations on the same wall section yet? I can move them up and down fine, but it won't let me place the second object.
Pretty sure this was already addressed in this thread, moveobjects on.
AL introduced a new feature - you press Ctrl and Alt together and then it will let you put more things on the same wall, without using move objects.
Yecats:
The apartment building tools was also covered in another thread, but to reitterate:
If your apartment is occupied, use boolProp aptSubLotSpecificToolsDisabled false.
If your apartment is vacant, yet still zoned as an apartment, use boolProp aptSubLotSpecificToolsDisabled false AND boolProp aptBaseLotSpecificToolsDisabled false.
This allows you to add and remove walls, edit the common areas and do landscaping, all while occupied with sims to test the functionality of adding that extra hot-tub to the basement.
spaceface:
Having moveobjects_on is fun but when it means that actions drop from queues or environment scores are bottomed out because sims can't reach things, it causes a lot of stomping and general annoyance which is why I prefer to play with it off.
I will see what I can do tonight with control/alt and brackets.
Last night I had fun rearranging some apartment lots for my space colony 'hood. It is in permanent winter as terraforming is not complete so I used some of the Lot Bin apartments but added extra walls and some roofs to make everything under cover. An indoor playground works just fine, and I found the easiest way to build relationships, I put the "Don't wake the Llama" game in the playground as well and there are sims playing it at all times of the day and night.
I noted what some others have, that the school bus does not fetch children in the morning from that lot (Lot Bin lot) but it drops them off after school.

Actually, that's not new -- it's been around since OFB or Pets.
