Apartment Hack: Now For Non-Fat Gwilly People!
J. M. Pescado:
The point of the exercise is that you should conciously have to cheat or abuse in order to benefit from an exploit: It should not occur as an effect of naive play. Since getting free money JUST for moving into an apartment, without any concious effort to abuse a cash exploit would violate this premise, I am not going to intentionally leave it enabled since I already had to rewrite this code to make it work: If you want to cheat for cash, cheat for cash. Whereas doing something like the "million dollar reporter trap" essentially represents a deliberate, concious effort to exploit the game's foibles, the mere act of MOVING INTO AN APARTMENT AS INTENDED does not, and therefore, should not automatically include a free(and unavoidable) cash exploit. If you want the resulting fixed prices to be both more reasonable and free of a magic cash exploit, wand the lot prior to move-in so that the furniture in the apartment will be "used", as is typical of apartment furniture. In a "like used" state, a modestly furnished apartment involves a deposit of only a few thousand, already less than if you were to, say, play the game totally EAxis-straight and move into a completely unfurnished apartment (only to them immediately have to redo the furniture you already place, annoying!).
Dark Trepie:
And besides, can't you shift click on the door with testingcheats on and still basically move into a fully furnished apartment for free with this hack?
J. M. Pescado:
No. The shift-click function was taken over by the rent-furnished function. Now there is no inherent cheat involved, merely a saving of player effort...because, honestly, if we furnish something, we kinda want it that way.

I installed the apartment hack and moved a CAS Sim into an apartment. About 20 some days later, I was setting up to move him out and decided to visit another apartment. The picture tells the story.
My Sim knocked on the door and the femaler Sim peed the moment he walked in. My Sim influenced her to bathe, and while she was in the shower, fixed some food from her fridge. After returning from placing his plate on a table somewhere outside (gotta love Sim intelligence) she immediately passed out on the floor.
Apparently the only motive she had in the green when he arrived was social. I thought the apartment hack was supposed to raise the motives based on what was in the apartment. I don't see any evidence of this happening.
Is this intended behavior?

I've had this happen, several times, in more than one apt - non-hacked, I might add. Got so fed up with it I moved my payable(s) out to a house!
J. M. Pescado:
That is quite odd. I am not able to reproduce it, but I suspect it is because the sim is not properly inside its hole. Check things like the BRY to make sure it has properly returned to its apartment, and isn't simply "stuck".
