Really cool, I wanted to make an industrial apt. building, but it didn't come out very good. This is great though!

Didn't you used OfB, too? For the big windows?

Nope, the 'The Embrasure' windows were included with Apartment Life as well as OFB - the lot is 100% AL & IKEA only, thanks to the AnyGameStarter =]

Edit: Well, it seems I am an idiot of some degree . I either missed or forgot that the zip included both a Residential and Apartments version of the lot. The one I had trouble with was, I believe, the Residential one. It was marked with an R. I just found the other (marked with an A) buried among other lots further on in my lot bin. That one installed as it should. I'm leaving the rest of my post as-is, since it seems Loaf intended that people be able to edit the Residential version and that might still be hindered by the units greying out.

Original post below:

Very nice work! Unfortunately, there appears to be an issue with the lot. I don't know if anyone else has encountered this, but I wanted to share the problem I ran into in case anyone else does and how I fixed it. (Just as a note, I'm running Ultimate Collection on Windows 8.1)

The Problem: When the lot is first placed, it is classed as Residential instead of Apartments and all of the units are greyed out as if occupied. Though it seems the logical next step would be to simply change the lot zoning from Residential to Apartments, DO NOT do this. This seems to bug the lot. The lot will show as Apartments from the Neighborhood view, but when entered again the units will remain greyed out. If you try to reverse it back to Residential (after changing it to Apartments) and replace the Unique Separators with regular doors, the furnishings seem to get wiped out. I didn't attempt to rent any of the units or buy the lot, so I don't know what would have happened.

The Fix: Place the lot and enter it. Delete all the Unique Separators and replace them with normal doors. You may or may not see the units 'fill in' as furnishing become visible. Save and exit. Go back into the lot. The furnishings should, hopefully, be visible now. It seems to be safe at this point to remove the normal doors, put the Unique Separators back in, and change the lot zoning to Apartments. Save and exit.

I would advise entering the lot one more time to double-check that none of the units grey out again. If you don't know how to change the lot zoning from Residential to Apartments, this is how: use Ctrl+Shift+C to bring up the cheat box, enter changelotzoning apartmentbase (to class the zone as Apartments), hit enter, save, and that's it!

I highly suggest fixing the lot, as it is very nicely furnished and it would be a shame to lose the lovely work done by Loaf

(Knowing my luck, there's probably an easier or quicker way to fix this )

Amazing design and perfect for my neighborhood of Sims working their way up from the bottom. Thanks for all the effort!
