Apartment Life: Obligatory Hate/Love Topic

[Alex]

I don't mind the house too much (other than the fact it has no fucking front doors)! It's kinda unique. What really sucks is how bloody difficult it is to get to it...

At least they didn't put a premade family in there.

[Lonesome Dove]

Anybody else finding that you can't use the walk in closets they put in every single bedroom on apartment lots? Only options you get are to change into work clothes or to woohoo if there's an appropriate partner available. I had my Sim buy a bunch of new clothes and when I got her back home she had to buy a dresser to be able to change into any of her new outfits. Not like there's a lot of extra room in those bedrooms for dressers, and besides what's the point of having walk in closets if you can't use them?

Hope I'm just overlooking something simple. It seems somebody would have mentioned it by now.

I love how the sun shines when good witch is getting rid of the rain

And I hate how the wheels in the trailer park don't touch the ground, because they just can't be lowered any more.

EDIT: Sim, who lives in the trailer park, just served mac and cheese to the whole neighborhood, both outside and inside. She lives alone + roommate. Now this I really hate.  Oh, and apperently sims can freely sleep in a strangers house. He won't mind at all.

Love:

The packaging.

Hate:

The error message... 

Error transferring TSData\Res\User Data\Neighborhoods\E001\Lots\E001_Lot141.package

Do you want to Retry, even though that'll NEVER work...or be pissed off for hours trying to manually install?

- Maxed out good witch (infallibly good witch) = pretty. The new skintone is subtle with the little sparklies and the sparkling effect is KEWL.

And laggy. I moved both witches in and my game is hell. I'm officially wanting a nowitchsparkling hack D:

No question about it, it's Baba Yaga's house of the chicken feet.  Funny how that's filtered into American culture so thoroughly that it's immediatley recognizable.  Fits with the theme, but wow, it's a fairly small and trivial lot.

Ah! That hadn't even occurred to me. I'm not terribly familiar with Russian fairy tales, but I did read Enchantment by Orson Scott Card. I had pictured the hut as more of an ungainly oblong. Plus, did they miss that the Baba Yaga tale includes furryism?

Need a paws-off hack. Or something of the sort. I can't think of a good name, except maybe, "nokittythatsmypotpie" by that's kind of long.

[kutto]

Biggest disappointment thus far: The "I Can Has Cheezburger" spell was renamed something dull in the final release.

"backoffgetyourownsandwich"

Also too long. Cartman reference is much funnier.

Annoyed; at the toy dog which is really only a hamster.

Annoyed that someone can steal the apartment garden gnome, but my sim can't place it back down there after retrieving (I am sure there must be a cheat for that).

Also the vending machine seems to place my sims under a spell and they just stare and stare at it without purchasing anything. c'mon it's not a TV set despite the pretty lights.

Love; most of the clothing, especially for the ladies, the witches are awesome too, most of the included furniture is nice, and the waste disposal system is cool too.


<------- time to crawl back to my sick bed now

Two questions:

How do the spiral stairs compare with Marvine's? (By which I mean - right and left? Matching railings?)

How are the apartments set up? I was wondering if some of the houses that make good dorms might also make good apartments. Conversely, I've got some good "apartments" that make lousy dorms (darn that elevator bug!), but I've been hanging on to them in case they'd actually make good apartments for AL.

[maxon]

Here is the "very cool hidden lot". It might make an interesting House of Fail one day:

Oh, I get it - it's meant to be a hut on chicken legs.  I wondered what that was about when I read someone's description.  Well, that kinda makes sense.  Kinda.  Still, it looks crap.

Somebody at EAxis is a Hellboy fan -- that kinda looks like how Baba Yaga's hut appears in the Hellboy comics.

Love

- The new outfits (although slightly disappointed they copied the 'nerdy' outfit from FT, but not the bohemian one for adults, just for teens and elders (don't have FT))
- Build mode stuffs, especially the new fences. Was squealing with glee when I spotted those.

Hate

- Lag
- Me having to uninstall AL already because of it. Loading an unoccupied, empty lot took ages, and after 5 mins or so I'd get a pop-up from windows informing it had run out of virtual memory. Pc just can't take the strain. I'll give AL another try after I buy a new machine. Those fences are worth it.

sooo... what is the verdict on securom? (since it seems those more awesome than me are installing the game straight out the box  )

[Jelenedra]

What gave you that idea?

hmm, just assumed since the game came out yesterday/today(?)...off to check Arr'd threads...

Uh duh it's called a no-cd crack.

In Soviet Russia, fairy tales are familiar with YOU!

[BrokenRobot]

WTF?

[Zazazu]

I think it was trying to be funny or something. You aren't the only one confused.

I'm uncomfortable with that particular fairy tale being familiar with me. *glances furtively about for grizzly bears*

I think that was e-sarcasm.

How the hell do you get a witch to teach witchcraft?

[Kyna]

I've been playing the Le Bateau family, the daughter has been skillinating body in the communal gym.  They also have a butler who leaves food on the table before he goes for the day.

Now the neighbours are complaining about the smell.  All night they've been coming up, banging on the door, waking the daughter up to complain about stink.  All 3 neighbours have come several times to complain, waking her up each time.  At 5am I told her to macro/caffeinate, and she has been interrupted from that twice already at 6.30am.  It's a queue stomper too.

Not sure if it's the food left out by the butler or the stink from the daughter.  But the non-stop complaining is extremely annoying.  Will fire the butler and keep the daughter working on body, to see whether it's the food or the daughter they're complaining about.

EDIT to add: I fired the butler, he left with "it's an honour to serve you", and he's back in the kitchen making more food.  And there's no option to "dismiss" or "end services" on him. 

Second EDIT: Ah, it appears to be because I inventoried the breakfast he'd made before he'd left the lot completely.  That constant drive to serve food (whether anyone is home or not) is going to stop me from hiring any more butlers.

[myskaal]

Only managed to play for a very little bit to check things out, but thus far I can say...

Annoyed by:

Ceilings (yay?). If they disappeared with the walls with the wall down options I could deal with them.. but a floating floor with no walls attached? Might be just me...


"Shadow people" in non playable apartments. Furniture, etc, disappears but you can still the occupants standing idle inside the dark apartment.


Closets:
I know there are clothes inside. I don't need to see them AND the closet door blocking all my click paths.



Very like:

Most of the new build/buy mode objects.



...little list so far. I just installed!
