Christ, are they serious? The 20 000 crap was enough of an exploit, particularly with the Merge Households tool.

I have the awful cheap photocopy-quality pack versions; they're good for a laugh on the can, and not much else.

Having seen the L&P about being able to move stuff  higher or lower on the walls, I predict that doing so will thereby prevent you from putting anything else on any wall in the same room, and perhaps even prevent you from putting anything on any wall anywhere on the lot ever again.

I bet that, at least, having two items on the wall will cause one to stick and become undeletable, conferring this honour on the wall as well.

I thought the extra moneys only happened if someone moves out of an existing household?  So a CAS family of 8 would have 20,000 but if, for whatever reason, half the family moved out then they would get the 20,000 +.  I don't really pay enough attention to family funds to know how move outs work now.

Yeah, that's how it works... and then you can Merge them back into the household with all their money.

Yes, it's easy to 'just not do the stupid cheaty thing,' but I'm always intensely uncomfortable when the game has, programmed into its normal gameplay, things so easily exploited that they must have noticed it when they implemented them. I wish they'd leave stuff that borked for console commands, so you know you're cheating when you do it.

Yes, that's right (according to Prima).  This is still the case that no20khandout is concerned with, though -- it's not just about not manipulating the Merge Household tool, but also about not generating money out of thin air when one part of a family moves out of the home.  In other words, the leaving member should only take their fair share of the household money, rather than an arbitrary 20,000+.

How about the latest "feature" confirmed in the Prima guide preview chapter -- not only do you now get a §20,000 handout upon moving out, but also additional money for every person you move out with you: §5,000 for every adult or elder, §3,000 for every teen, §2,000 for every child, and §1,000 for every toddler.  Is a bork still a bork if they meant to do it?  My psychic abilities foresee a noreallyno20k+handout hack coming very, very soon.
Did they say in ADDITION to the free 20K, or INSTEAD of? Seems a bit pointless to have apartments if they're going to give you so much that you wouldn't need one. And I'm guessing that if I simply don't bother updating no20K to support that feature, the old rule will remain.

To quote the Prima chapter directly: "Now, moving out families return to the Family bin with §20,000 (for the first adult or elder) plus an extra amount for each...."

Pets sleeping on the murphy bed will either refuse to shoo when you want to close the bed (realistic) or will instead become permanently stuck in the bed.

Too right! That's assuming, of course, that the bed's even enabled for Pets interactions in the first place...  Roll Eyes

All children in apartments you're not currently playing will arrive home in separate school buses, causing major lag and probably a crash.

The green glow of the witches (which we can't turn off) will cause random crashes for Nvidia cards, and EAxis will send us to Nvidia for the fix (and Nvidia won't have one).

The butler will have more of a bathing obsession than the nanny.

EA will release the EP and forget to add any tiles that look like ceiling tiles.  They will offer ONE downloadable tile on the website, made by MaxoidMonkey, six months after release.  It will not show up in-game and be removed from the site.

Casting spells won't work on any community lots.

The slide animation will be borked, causing Sims to sink into the ground.

The custom content dialog at startup will be reset to "disable" and the program will crash if it is set to "enable." EA tech support indicates that this is working as intended.

   Since some players claim they now have the game, the Bork Pool for Apartment Life is now closed.  Congrats Grugly for being the last contestant.  Smiley
