Unofficial AL Patch - Assorted Fixes

[JediKnight]

This is not a bug.  This was done intentionally by EA.  The furnishings are shown as a "suggestion" as to how to arrange the apartment.  Also, the NPC townies use the "sample" layout when they move in, I think.  This way, the playable households can use whatever they can afford, and arrange things any way they choose.

hello, first excuse my bad english, but I had something important to report :
Appartements should be rent with all pianos, sofas, etc etc; it's a bug when he come without only a kitchen and a bathroom .
A friend give me the code "boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true" and use it just when your sim is in front of his new appartement door .Clik on the door and choose " louez meublé " (and dont know what is for english version, sorry ! ) , then use boolProp testingCheatsEnabled false .

But perhaps there is a possibility for you to fix it ?  it would be fine ,and more easy that all this manipulations .I don't try it again , i will test it after .

This hack will fix your problem.

I've recently encountered a new bug with the restorable car from FT.  Now, it seems that teens can't work on it without the jump bug popping them out of it.  Am I the only one who noticed this?

Same here.  The error occurs on the "Work on Body" option; the "Work on Engine" works fine.  Both teen boys and girls get this error.  Adults do not.  Log is attached.

I've tested the most recent version of alfixes posted and the mailbox error is partially fixed.  My sim can retrieve bills as before and can now retrieve the love letter but errors when she tries to put it in her inventory.  I did the same test as before, started my game completely devoid of cc except alfixes and sent her on a date to generate the love letter.  The new error log is attached.  Thank you for your hard work fixing everything EAxis craps up.

Should be fixed now.

Should be fixed now. It's hard to get a good test case for the love letters since I never, ever, have seen them in my game.

Hi,

today my Sims in an rental apartment had a money tree. The landlord came to the usuall time to check on his property and walked right in the apartment to water the tree and harvest the money.  My Sims was sleeping and he stand by the bed to talk about hobbies.

Then it is no way to get rid of the guy, because there is not an good by option.

It seems the walkin the apartment get triggered by the gardening duties of him.

Attached is the log, because I jused "force error" to delete him.

Have you tried using APO* on the landlord? I'm sure you can deny him.

Vaguely related question...
Has anyone else had problems with their sims not aging? It started when I installed apartment life, and have not installed any hacks for quite some time.
I googled "Apartment Life Patch" and this was basicaly the best thing that came up (surprise surprise!)
Also, thank you for being on the ball with cleaning up after Maxis! Much appreciated.

Mine age just fine. A few adults even stopped mid sales in a business to age.

Did you update your hacks for AL?

Thank you. I will go and search for this mod and tell if it worked.

I'm not so new to this site, but I'm not a big poster......more a lurker.

I used the Teen WooHoo hack from the now-defunct(?) InTeen site and found it caused major conflicts with newer EP's.  I can only imagine the kind of havoc an out-dated InTeenimater must cause.  Make sure you (read as: anyone) removes ALL outdated hacks before reporting bugs here.  We don't need Pescado tracking down phantom bugs caused by a mod conflict.  I, for one, truly appreciate that someone is actually trying to make this, the coolest and buggiest EP ever, playable.  Even the Sims2 Official Site didn't have a "Report your bugs" thread the last time I was there.  So, thanks, Pescado, for all your hard work!

Anyone caught reporting a mod conflict as an EP bug will be exiled to "Retardo Land," as per the order from the Jedi Council.

Pescado just loves to point out "tight pants".

When I posted my problem with the restorable car, noone cared.  Within 24 hours of your notice, the fix is up.  So, thanks, JediKnight, for posting in the right place.

That's why I'm trying to do the same test scenario every time.  Good scientific method and all that rubbish.  Shall try the new version and report back *fights urge to add a smiley*

Actually, I think it's not so much about posting it in the right place, as providing enough information to determine what the problem is.  The more specific information you can provide, the faster these types of bugs will get fixed.  That's why I included an error log with the description of the restorable car bug.  If you don't know how to generate an error log, try doing a search.

It's both.  The Asinine Airhead needed a Malodorous Moron to affirm the problem is a bug, not a glitch, and upload the error log for him.  He found a place to post where someone more experienced would say, "me, too."  I'll hit you up with a baa for posting the log.

I have a lightsaber.  And, I must obey the will of the Jedi Council.  Besides, it would be doing Pescado a favor.  I'm glad someone confirmed my bug.  Even I have much to learn, and next time I find a bug, I'll be sure to post an error log.  In the mean time, my Sims are much happier, as they can now finish the car resto project before heading off to college!

I always review logs regardless of how "experienced" the user is, but as a general policy, I work on an "error log or it didn't happen" basis. An error reported without an error log merely gets filed in the list of things to watch for if it happens in my game, an error log is enough to prompt a targeted investigation.

Date test #948: Same as before, initiated a new date with boyfriend to generate a love letter.  Was able to retrieve bills and love letter both with no errors at all.  Was able to pay bills as well.  Not an error in sight.  HUZZAH! 

*happy sheep noises*

[Ailias]

Let me give you a hint to the thing that should be fixed as well.
In Belladonna Cove there is a house where one man with a daughter lives and he has a crush with the neighbour under him - Viviane.
If you play the man's family her appartment is visible. I can admit that. Because they have an affection may be.
But I moved her family in so they live all together now in man's apartment.
Her apartment become empty and invisible.
But then NPC man rented this vacant place and the apartment is visible again! All the time! You can see this NPC man doing activities but you cannot see that! It makes the game slower when another apartment is visible too.

bug?
