Apartment Life: Obligatory Hate/Love Topic

How it counts the tiles for you in build mode. No more squinting and counting identical squares of grass!
BFFs. I know it's silly, but it makes the daily grind of maintaining friendships much less of a hassle.
Do Not Want:
The Lifetime Aspiration meter. This is one of the reasons I chose not to get FT, and here it is cluttering up my control panel anyway. At least it isn't as easy as I thought it would be to get an accidental permaplat.

I have a problem with AL that I have not seen a post about yet.
My apartment dwellers cannot call each other on the phone or invite each other over for a visit by personally greeting. They have high relationships scores.
This is very disappointing for me. I had looked forward to inviting neighbors over for all the interactions you might have with sims not living on the same lot.
I use some hacks. Mostly MATY, but also homework-on-the desk, and the power espresso by SimCutie.
Is this a "working as designed" feature? If not, has anyone seen a hack that will give me these social options?
I am a first-time poster here. I have read the forums carefully. Please, I don't need a slapdown, I need an answer.
Thank you

Yes, I know I am a noob.
Just to clarify. I did try out my phone problem with other apartment dwellers, in other neighborhoods, both with sims already in place and sims that I created. In the boxed lots and also CC apartment buildings.
It doesn't seem to matter how many people they know or whether they have gone to work, or a community lot. They cannot call their neighbors or ask their neighbors to visit.
Sorry to annoy the moderators.
Edit by moderator: You don't have to double-post. You can edit your own posts at any time you like unless you are canned and exiled to Retardo Land.
geekgirl:
Make sure your MATY hacks are up to date, and try loading up the game without the other hacks, just to check and see if there's a conflict. :)
Angie Baby:
Has anyone else played a rented house on its own lot? I built a town house on one of MaryLou's minilots and changed the lot to apartment. Because it's an apartment lot there is no neighbourhood welcome wagon and because it's a single 'apartment' on its own you don't get the apartment welcome wagon either. Pure bliss.

BFFs did come with FT, and I detest it muchly. Thank Jebus and the FOJ for 'BFFsAreFor12s'. Hell, just the few each of my sims manages to rack up within that time is enough to drive me fricking batty. Oy, the endless self-invites! If a BFF would invite herself over, maybe, once a week or so, I'd be fine with that, but I have one house where no less than 3 BFFs wander in every. single. day. That's way too damned much! Especially since relationships are supposed to be decaying more slowly, so why do these nimrods need to come over every damned day? Especially when all they're going to do is plop themselves down on the couch and hog the telly Watching Movies while I'm trying to get my sims to pay attention to the Yummy Channel and get a skill point or two?
