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 haven't had them settle in naturally at all. I've been using Inge's apartment fixes mod, in testing, it takes away their ability to replenish needs from errands and work, and I find them taking care of their own needs much better.
Inge's mod is in the testing area of her forum, but may be released soon.
I will look into this, thanks, caterpillar. I really don't want to micromanage a roomie, but letting him go feral was taking me out of the "realism" of the game. I am so spoiled now with Pescado's hacks...most of the time sims approximate human behavior, so this was buggin.

I know exactly how you feel about the realism. The zombie roomies were driving me crazy.
Here's a direct link to the thread in Inge's forum for this mod. It is nearly out of testing. The mod also makes the other tenants behave more realistically in terms of when they go into their apartments and when they hang in the communal areas. It doesn't stop them from reading your magazines, though, :D

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.
Thanks Roux. I tried what you suggested, and it didn't work. I posted the error over at simlogical, but also read others problems/solutions, and managed to fix the HCDU. The only conflicts it's showing are 4 versions of Monique's money computer (updated for AL over at Insim) using the same resources, and a conflict between Pescado's vampwere fix and the other one from here. I'll have to track that down and figure out which one to keep. However, while searching for possible old hacks I did find a newer update for one of the other hacks I had running, so that may have fixed it too. I haven't had a chance to try the lot with the butler and see yet.
Zazazu:
Vampwerefix was replaced by creaturefix(es).
Don't keep four versions of MQs computer. Why in the world would you need all those? One is all you need. I use the version Chaavik did for AL.

I'm a bit behind, and just started playing AL over the weekend...
Just wondering - Is there any way to simultaneously play multiple sims who are living in the same apartment building but in different apartments? I hate when I have two sims living in the same apartment building, but different apartments, and I can't control them both at the same time... I was hoping for something similar to the Uni dorms, when you can control all playables living in the dorm at once... I know it would suck if you had big families living in the same building because it would be too many sims to play at once, but with single sims I would love if I could control all playables on the lot simultaneously, rather than playing one while the other hangs out in blackness, and then playing the other to catch up.
