Can EA apartment lots be edited without breaking?
CatOfEvilGenius:
I tried to edit an EA apartment lot. After saving, it was broken.
Would crash shortly after anyone rented an apartment.
The *unmodified* EA lot works just fine (but is ugly).
The lot is "Main Street Mobile Homes".
All I did was change some EA floor coverings to different EA floor coverings.
Did not enable non-apartment build tools. Saved, moved some sim in, crash.
Then I nuked that lot, started over with a fresh EA lot.
This time, changed lot zoning to residential first, then changed the floors.
Saved as residential. Reentered the lot, changed zoning to apartment base, saved.
The lot still crashed in exactly the same way.
I have Pescado's apthack and alfixes. Don't have anything else that affects tenants, landlords,
except dickhurt's better locations for eating / serving. HCDU reports no conflicts.
Don't have anything else as far as I know that affects apartment doors (such as Inge's mods).
Pandaah:
I don't know if dickhurt's mod causes those crashes, but his mods are known to be clashy.
Simsample:
This could be because you rezoned to residential and then back to apartment, which is not a good idea. But I do recall someone on MTS2 having issues with altering this particular Maxis lot, so perhaps it is a buggy apartment.
CatOfEvilGenius:
simsample - the MTS person was probably me, and this happens with and without rezoning
Pandaah - What I don't understand is why this only happens if I edit the lot. The unedited lot works fine, with or without dickhurt's mods.
Simsample:
I can confirm that it is the lot. If I make a change to it (without rezoning) then it crashes each of the approx. 10 times I tried this. I'm sure I did this test before, as there is a thread I replied to:

Also a newer one here:

The last thread suggests the solution of moving the lot; I didn't test whether that was successful at all (I only just found that thread; MTS is a tad slow tonight).
