First Impressions

Thanks for the info! :)

I have bi hoods, straight hoods, gay hood and a mixture of them all hoods.
So....
I always gender bias my whole hood first off, playables and the townies included. There is no point if your sims do not know their sexual preference, the game is boring, like playing with a doll's house if this is not done. I use the Insim to do this.
I do not know what Maxis has done but sims are flirting with sims at first sight even whilst gagging at the same time. Oh dear....this has led to many fights in my game already. Reputations go down and now my sims with a poor rep get insulted when meeting new sims regardless if the new sim has many nice personality points. Its a real hoot for a while and then it starts to grate you.
I always make my controlled female ( I make many playables so my hood is good looking but only ever play one female, the others are eye candy)ugly to the male sims I make. I have found that making her to have one two or three bolts is too quick, they flirt with her too fast. I like my sim to take her time and see what they are like before changing her from fat to fit and doing her makeup and eventually choosing one. Even though two males ( I make) may be of the same star sign, personality points etc they can still be different. So of course she gets gagged at a lot but I prefer that to being hit on.
Anyway, in this latest ex pack these males are gagging at her and flirting at the same time just after greeting. They are also flirting straight away with some of the townies just after greeting and gagging. The whole point of different aspiration, star signs and turn offs is to stop this...eeek.
Prior to this pack two sims who have a cross through the bolt area had to have at least a few lifetime points and a few more daily points before this was possible. The lowest I have seen it happen prior to this latest ex pack is 10 lifetime and 45 daily. Now it is straight away.
I hope there is a patch to get this sorted asap or it makes a mockery of the turn ons and turn offs, aspirational and personality differences. They might as well not exist right now.
Also the gestures are too much, not much else goes on except greeting at the moment. I have no doubt the modders are on to that already as they were with the BV gestures.
But overall I like the Apartment ex pack....LOL

Hopefully they will address that (as well as a huge number of other bugs that I've read about) when they release the patch. I haven't gotten my copy yet...I pre-ordered it through Amazon and it will be here Tuesday (it would be here tomorrow, but mail doesn't run on Labor Day.
I do something similar to what you do loopsydo, except I make character concepts for "neighborhood sims" and mold them to that concept, which was made so much faster and easier by Insimenator. I like custom content alot because I can make a whole neighborhood of "barbie dolls". Shallow, I know, but deep down I'm just an 8 year old playing virtual Barbie. ;)
Toodles!

I've made quite a few apartments and so far the only problem I've found is that beach apartment lots don't work very well. As soon as you move a sim in, the ocean covers the beach competely. Sims can still start fires and dig in the sand -- although they look like they are underwater.
My hardest part was not furnishing the whole apartment before I moved sims in. If I made a mistake and had to move the sims out to fix the mistake .. poof .. whole apartment furnishings gone.
Otherwise, I'm have fun with it.
