Apartment Life: Obligatory Hate/Love Topic
Dark Trepie:
Anyone else notice the extremely small text in the dialog box when you have to name a baby now? I find myself leaning close to the screen now to see if it's a boy or girl.
My nearsightedness, let me show you it.
Solowren:
Apparently, that is because EA left out some code. Alex knows how to fix it.

I've seen some people saying this on the BBS, and I just don't understand it. What would be the point of having an apartment feature with special doors if you still had to control everyone at the same time? That's the way it worked before if you tried to make apartments. You could still do it that way if you want to.
Likewise, I don't see the point of the apartment feature if everyone has to be controlled separately. I wouldn't mind it so much if the other player houses were blacked-out and the Sims inactive, say for going to work or school, but they aren't. They're fully, er, conscious and going about doing stupid things. Perhaps I am just a control freak, but it bothers me a bit.
Perhaps, once I screw around with some throwaway Sims, I'll get over it or learn to live with it.

The biggest thing which I'm kind of torn on is making a witch character high enough level to build a throne. At that point, I'm playing that character in God mode. Witch sims with a throne don't need to eat, or sleep, or talk to other people, or do fun things. They can just sit in a chair and skillinate 24 hours a day.
Eugh, especially with the Education bookcase. Really, the thrones make me feel like I'm cheating horribly. =\
It's a little better with a regular bookcase--but not much. The throne regens needs *really* fast, so you can work a sim to the point they're in desperation, then sit them down to study something in a book for a little while, and they're full up again. But at least it means you have to do things with them occasionally.
I don't think I'm going to make any more witches in my house with the education bookcase.

I want it both ways. I want something like clicking on the apartment door to turn control on or off and if it's off I want them inactive and blacked out. That would satisfy my inner control freak and my laziness if it was a mega apartment block.
