Apartments in University (for YA's)?
« on: 2009 March 12, 06:13:57 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

So has anyone tried to see if apartments actually work in University neighborhoods for Young Adults? The default apartment lots aren't available while on a University 'hood in the Specialty Lots bin, so I wanted to come here and ask about functionality before I wasted time building my own.

Basically all I want to know is if the functionality would even work or not. Obviously there'd be logistical issues like the YAs not being able to afford rent without being wired/given money, but that's a seperate issue. I did a search about this both here and on Google but didn't find any real answers.

No, the apartments don't really work in uni hoods.  Yes, Pes has a solution for that I believe.  Check the apartment hack - that might be the one.

I guess I didn't rtfm 'cause I definitely missed the last line of the Apartment Hack. I already have it installed since it's in the AL Director's Cut.

So, quick question: Is there a fast way to copy apartments to the normal houses bin so I can put 'em there? I was thinkin' of placing them and then re-binning them, but I'm unsure if it would just get thrown back in with itself in the Specialty bin or not.

I just keep the non-apartment version of the lot in the bin, and convert it to an apartment in the uni subhood.

Yeah I suppose I'll have to do that. Figured there'd be some way to move it to the normal bin without having to change the zoning. Anyways, thanks.

My Uni is in the main 'hood. (See Peasantry for a thread with necessary hacks). Kills the issue with having to screw around with apartment binning, but creates an issue with dorm binning. You have to bin them as residential initially.

Pescado has mentioned that any lot -- house, dorm, or apartment -- that is not built in Uni will have a broken Uni controller when placed in a Uni hood. Build your apartment in Uni.

Hmmm, a little off-topic, but is the reverse of this true?  If I build dorms and/or residences in the Uni subhood, and then move them to my base hood uni, will the controller still work?  Anybody know?  I'd love to skip spawning all those stupid semester testers. 

I might have to do some experimenting...

Didn't for me. The apartment I'm using right now was originally built in the Uni 'hood of another neighborhood. I still need semester testers.

Yup, that was the result of my quick little test too.  Ah well...
