Speaking of renting a furnished apartment Carrigon has enabled the Rent Furnished Apartment option along with a couple of more options.

For someone who was "so offended" by this EP, she didn't waste much time cracking into it, did she?  Maybe that's just my own twisted opinion.

No, it's quite astute and shared.

And here is a no sparklies hack for those with lag issues.

Confirm that this hack works quite well. Familiars still have sparklies, so Plum's pink kitty will remain sparkling.

It would be nice if someone could create a hack for ingredients. As in you make one and that one charges the ammount you need for each spell. Making them is timeconsuming and annoying. I hate it when I'm in a townie bullying party and have to stop because one of my ingredients just finished.

It's called "No Reagents Needed for Spells".

Thank you for the link. I haven't been looking for hacks yet. I forgot how fast the sims community is when it comes to fixes and improvements ^^

A comment on the messages from the Landlord. Someone was pointing out that they're annoying and I figured it's because he checks if anything is broken on the lot. I had an incident where my sims' shower got broken. I waited it out at first thinkig the Landlor would come and fix it. I believe after several hours I'd figure I'd try the phone to call him. I didn't see an option to reach him there but was puzzled that I still had the option to call a service NPC.

A couple of simhours later I got a pop up message of the Landlord that everything is just fine! >:( I was really annoyed now! I mean what good is it to us to receive the pop ups if he's not able to detect any real problems. So once I again I directed my sim to the phone to call a service NPC to fix the problem anyways when I noticed the option to call the landlord! I'm pretty sure it wasn't there before! So I called him back and sure enough he came and fix the shower. At least that worked! /rant :-[

Without having actually seen the situation, obviously, here's my take on what probably occured:

-Firstly, the Prima Guide claims that Landlords won't autonomously fix items inside your apartment.  I know that the guide is not the most accurate of sources and shouldn't be followed blindly, but it would seem this is correct based on your experience.  They are not telepathic and need to be told about problems inside the apartment.
-Secondly, I expect that when you tried to call the landlord, and didn't have the option, it's because the Landlord was probably already on the lot.  They apparently hang around from 9am until all communal area repairs/cleaning/rent collections etc are done.  Obviously once they're present on the lot you can't phone them (since they're already there!) but you can track them down and ask face-to-face for them to do repairs inside your apartment. 
-Once you received the pop-up, that meant the Landlord was done for the day and had departed.  You then could get through to them on the phone because they're at 'home' and not on the lot anymore.

Hope this helps.
