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.

This may be widespread knowledge by now, but I had the same irritation. My apartment dweller got all obsessed with the lady across the hall. I kludged it by having my sim give her a cel phone as a present. Now he can call her...but I don't yet know if she will call him.
MaximilianPS:
my sims from a bit of days have a strange behave, in few words, they go to sleep as the first needs.
for example, the have fun < 50 and sleep need about 60, they will go to sleep and then watch tv :o

The problem with running the hack conflict detector is that is gives an error every time I do. I've tried downloading a new copy of it, but it still won't work. I'm not too knowledgeable about reading error messages, so this helps me not at all. I've attached the error message it gives, if that helps anyone.
I got some HCDU errors a couple months ago, and deleting the "Temp" folder cleared them up. (Cache issue, I guess.) If that doesn't work, you should report this at the HCDU support section at Simlogical.

I understand that it is not Awesomespec to have apartments touching, but I stacked mine. I think it's ridiculous that neighbors will complain five minutes after food on the table goes bad.
Another nitpick in general is that I have always been irritated that Pop Tarts have the same "shelf life" as omelets. COME ON.
ETA: I also wanted to add that I've been playing an apartment with a roomie for a few sim days. He is starting to keep a schedule and act human, doing things such as showering, sleeping in his room, and eating at reasonable hours. After a period of him acting like a robot (replenishing needs on errands and at work, lame) I decided to make him selectable and "train" him if possible, or at least make him less irritating.
Has anyone else had this experience? Do they settle in after a bit if you leave them unselectable, or did making him selectable and forcing things along help?

I want poptarts my sims don't have to cook. I never toast my pop tarts.
I don't even want to know what the muffins are made out of.
