Mailbox doesn't change when re-zoned to apartment

(1/4) > >>

Ali:
Don't know if anyone has tried to build apartments yet or rezoned some of their existing lots to apartments but whenever I try it, I don't get the apartment mailbox. The lot shows as an apartment, with rental price and everything as it should be, but when I load the lot it still has the residential mailbox. The Landlord turns up, sims can rent apartment, the unrented apartments go dark, everything is as it should be. I thought it might be because I was rezoning a lot I downloaded pre-AL so I went ahead and built my own from scratch and I still don't get the AL mailbox
 
I'm stumped, does anyone else have any ideas or maybe experienced this?

Jenna:
I can't remember where I read this now, but what I do remember was that any mailbox hacks that haven't been updated to AL can cause this problem. I believe this also pertains to hacks that make the mailbox buyable, as well.

...that's about all I can come up with.

Ali:
hmmm, I did take out all my hacks as I thought it might be that, but it's still the same. The only lots I have that have the proper mailbox are the EAxian built crap!
 
I do play with testing cheats on but that shouldn't make a difference??

Jenna:
*shudders* The things I could say about those oh-so-lovely EAxian made lots. Alas, this isn't the adult site. Hah. Anyways...

No, I don't think having the testing cheats active would cause that problem. I always have it active, and I've already built a dozen or so apartments without any problems.

...have you tested it in a fresh neighborhood, with an empty Downloads folder yet?

Dracoamie:
When you download sims it puts them and the custom content into the file called 'people sims'. I forget the name of the folder for downloaded lots but make sure you don't have any hacks and things in some of those folders.
