Can´t place objects in apartment
amc462000:
I am not sure what your answer means; do you mean you are having this placement problem while the lot is still residential? Or after you change it to apartments? These rooms where the problem occurs are real rooms with 4 walls and a roof? no fences inside, even like the little Great Divide running across your floors?
Engram:
Another thing that could go wrong when building a second floor is when you make the second floor inside a roofline, as in an attic. What I mean is that you place the roof, then some dormers and then you create rooms inside the roof space. This area is considered to be "outside" by the game. Your sims will get cold in those rooms if you have Seasons installed. Angela's room in the Pleasant house in Pleasantview is a good example of this. If you move her bed to the outside wall of the house, she will get cold at night. For some reason she is fine while her bed is placed inside the dormer, but the roof-generated outside wall where her desk is placed is considered to be "outside" by the game. Certain items cannot be placed on those walls, either, because they have to go "inside" a house.

I have the same exact problem with one of my apartments. Even when I put the moveObjects on cheat, it still will not allow me to place furniture in specific places on the second floor. I can place furniture on the left side of the room, but not the right. I don't have any dormers or anything like that, just roofs made for my townhouses, so they are close together, but they are still normal roofs. The room worked fine when it was still residential, when I moved sims out and changed to apartments, some furniture was deleted, and I could not replace them where they were supposed to be. And the apartmentBuildBuyRestrictions on/off doesn't seem to work to try changing things around. Maybe try that cheat on yours and check your roofs or walls? It wouldn't work for me, but now my neighborhood won't even work, so it may work fine for you.

I also recently have had this problem. It's very frustrating. I try to place objects in one room and I get the "Placement not allowed" or something like that. It's the same message you get if you try to put stuff outside of the currently active apt. It's also the kitchen which makes it even worse, cause the refrigerator optios are extremely limited, ex: Make single/many. There's no serve option. Any help with this would be much apprecieated.
Edit: I figured it out. It's the room dividers. For some weird reason when they're used the game sees one part of the divided room as not part of the apartment. I'll attach a screen shot for those who need a reference.
All you have to do is move your sims out, change the lot zoning to residential, save/exit/re-enter, remove the room dividers, change the lot zoning back to apartmentbase, save and move your sims back in. And everything should work fine! :cool:

I had a similar problem but I eventually had to take out all inside walls on my second floor of one apartment (townhouse like). After that everything worked fine it was just a pain in the but because I couldn't have walls on that floor.
