Cleared out apartments: Really an intention???
Alex:
I hope so too. It's ridiculous and makes the game far too easy. I could understand maybe a §3000 grant if the family has 4+ kids or younger in it (this seems realistic). Even then, I prefer how it was.
Anyway, I honestly don't think the apartments are that expensive. Someone worked out that it's actually much cheaper than buying a house, as you can buy nice things and leave aside a large amount of money for rent without even having to get a job. There are only four full weeks in the adult stage. It really isn't that expensive at all, and gives you a great choice: Rent a place, less control but more money for crap, or invest in a house/plot of land, full control, but little money left over? I'd like a hack to make furnished apartments MOAR expensive!

If you don't wish to run with Testing Cheats on, Carrigon at Sims2Workshop has a hack allowing all of the apt door options to show.

To be honest, with her hack and having all options showing once you've moved in is a tad irritating (at least, all options constantly show in Testing Cheats mode)
And i also was surprised to see Carrigon hop on the AL bandwagon so quick. :)

Well, apartments should make some good poverty challenges. They are an excellent way to separate a Sim from money. Much more efficient than buying a lot with a house on it because the hurt is refreshed every Monday.
Drakron:
I think the new calculations was because ... it never made sense a family of 2 adults, 2 elders and 2 teens starting with the same funds as a "family" of 1, you might disagree but now the starting money makes sense.
As for the apartments ... well either the "rent furnished" not showing up is a bug or they could not setup 2 types of rents, a furnished and unfurnished one so they decided to pick the most sensible option since furnishing apartments is more for NPCs that move in and not playable families .

As for renting an apartment and not having much left over for more than the cheapest items, that sounds pretty much like real life to me. A starting out sim who has just left home or college shouldn't be able to afford to buy a house or have expensive furniture.
The IKEA stuff pack finally makes sense... :)
