Darlin', there is no 28. You are 24.

The little cabin does look like a good choice for this month. Can somebody else do a basegame version of it, flatten it if required then kick off a new thread?

There's no such syndrome amongst sim nation...

Can't believe I'm laughing my head off at this... but I am! I thought I got over that in junior high!

Here we have a child who, for some reason, the game thinks is a toddler... apologies for bad photography; the pictures were taken just before my first Apocalypse lot imploded.

winner.

I think I'm pretty well done with the building and decorating of this month's lot so I thought I'd stick up a preview shot. I'm converting it to an apartment block with four furnished apartments. I just need to rezone it and test to make sure that all four apartments function ok.

What do you mean by that? I know you can't change it to community, or else you won't be able to get the mailbox back.

How do you make a restaurant in an apartment? I tried, but couldn't find the items.

Kill it with fire  Ontop of this being strange, why the neon colors! Gamma vision? This scared me it says furry creations but I think it is a bird maybe?
*UGH ITS A FUCKING FURRY!

Personally, I do not like the suggestion for a zoning restriction rule. The problem I see though with using a community/business lot rezoned to residential is the lack of a mailbox. That would require use of CC from either SEDD or ancienthighway to place one and CC is not supposed to be used I thought.

Is this the post you are referring to?  http://bbs.thesims2.ea.com/community/bbs/messages.php?&hideFramework=true&openItemID=item.231,item.43,item.61,item.41,item.127,item.23&threadID=f7940b7bea0727fc2224bc9f4059e3f1&directoryID=131&startRow=1#d89ecd0e465d2cd99608981ebad36446
The author is SweetpeasCorner, and the message states, "The Gamestop manager I purchased MG Stuff from told me there are plans for a couple more releases still for Ts2 after Ts3 has been released. He wasn't sure what they were though. He didn't have anymore information. Perhaps those are just combo gift sets or something. "  I personally don't anticipate any new packs for the Sims 2 after the M&G one. 

I for one think we should stay with houses, since they are so easy to modify, yet some comm lots have to have EPs, as in Pet stores require the Pets EP and restaraunts Require Nightlife or Open For Business, so houses are better, loads of people can do that.

It's been a long time since I played, but I also think the sculpture, in addition to being useless, was also worthless: it sold for §0.   That means it couldn't even be used in an OFB resale lot.      Death by chainsaw sounds interesting; will it be through murder, or accident?

Whoever submits the fail for the month gets to choose just that - the fail for the month.

How about downtown lots?  Vacation lots?  Dorms? 

If you want to pick a comm lot, make it a rule that it HAS to remain comm.  Or that it HAS to remain a business, be it residential or community.  You can add any rules you want at the start of the month - just don't go changing them half-way through.

If you want to re-model an apartment - create the apartment so that it is base-game compatible for those without expansions.  Same goes for dorms, and vacation lots.  You can always re-zone them when they're done.

Otherwise, besides the external wall rule, it's fair game for any and all conversions; dorm, community, business, residential, apartment, etc.

Argh! I see... Then Pescado perhaps should just leave it "useless"... It's EAxis/Aspyr's fault, not yours! 

It doesn't do anything in Pet Stories, either.  It's a decorative sculpture that you can use on kitchen tables, taking up almost the entire surface of the table while sims eat with their plates almost overlapping it.  It never melts, and the only sim-directed option is "view".
