Can you rent an apartment with a table in it?
sara_dippity:
In other words, if you build an apartment and put a table in it, when you change the zoning, does the table disappear or stay? In other other words lot A was a row house complex that came with the game. Sim A moves in and serves food all over the damn place. Lot B is one I built, loosely based off of the row house lot. Sim B moved into Lot B. Sim B serves food to only him and his roomate. I much prefer this and am trying to figure out why.
My theory is that if you build a lot with a table in place and change the zoning, this flicks a switch in the objects to make them stay when you move in. Those that can't switch over vanish. So if a table can stay and be rented, something in it has been changed to make it associated with the lot, then a sim looking for a table will go to all the lot tables. But if a sim buys a table, it is not lot associated, but household associated. So the sim uses their own table.
Since I don't remember if a table came with Lot A, then I realize I could be wrong entirely.

The first apartment building I made, I did FURNISHED apartments.
When I went to move the first sims in, the furniture was ALL GONE.
So NO, you can't have furnishings in the apartments, especially because those 'missing' furnishings jack the rent up!
So I scrapped that apartment building.
I now build them unfurnished save for kitchen counters, stove, fridge, and optional dishwasher/trash compactor. Also I put in the bathroom fixtures. Also any place I want overhead lighting - that goes in. No other furnishings as they just disappear.

Or you could just go into debug mode, shift+click the door and select "Rent Furnished Apartment".

Well crappers. Any ideas on why apartment A served food to everyone, God and God's dog while B didn't? Lot B did have a common picnic area, only it's the bbq from vacation instead of the one with the base game. The landlord still throws parties in the common area.

In the same vein as the title-what about apartments with phones? I built my own little test apartment, just to make sure I was 'doing it right', placed no furniture, but placed ceiling lights, a smoke and burglar alarm and one of the Freetime phones. When I got the Goodies to rent it the phone had vanished. I was wondering if it was a phone issue or if it was meant to be like that? I've noticed that EAxis-made apartments do not come equipped with phones as standard.
