Enabling Build/Buy In Apartments
J. M. Pescado:
Do Not Do This. Making structural changes using the buildcheat to an inhabited apartment is *BAD* because the changes do not properly save themselves, resulting in inconsistent lot behavior as the changes are not properly committed to the "base" lot.
eevilcat:
I assumed that by enabling both base and sublot tools that changes would be propagated. When I checked the other occupied apartment it did have the newly extended architecture so the change must have propagated at least some way. It's an idiotic limitation as I constantly tweak the structure of my lots.
Dark Trepie:
I used aptBaseLotSpecificToolsDisabled False to replace some spiral stairs with an elevator in one of the EAxian apartments. (The Sentinel one I think). This was before I moved anyone into it.
Had to use all three cheats later on to add room dividers in a bed room to keep twin toddlers from waking each other though.

The game is very inconsistent about propagating any such changes. you may want to "loadlot" the base lot to see if it took correctly. If it did not take, you should stop doing this and perform the process properly. One of the perks of apartment-based lots is that if you're performing furnishing at the base-lot level, you won't lose all the stuff anyway.

Open the userStartup.cheat file found in your, " .....Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Config," folder using Notepad only
to enable cheats at start of game but this in
alias bbon "apartmentBuildBuyRestrictions on" "Enables build/buy mode tools in an apartments lot"
alias bboff "apartmentBuildBuyRestrictions off" "Disables build/buy mode tools in an apartments lot"
Isn't "apartmentBuildBuyRestrictions off" the cheatcode that doesn't work? So what's the point of putting it in our startup files?
The logic seems inverted too. If you turn on restrictions then you disables the function don't you.
