Title: Stupid AL ?...why can't I see my neighbors furnishings?? Post by: cmserene on November 06, 2008, 08:25:32 pm I just installed AL and after some issues getting it started (and getting my mods updated!) - thanks to xtian913 & abaris btw :o), I can finally enter a lot. I created a new sim and moved her into an existing Maxis Apartment building with the Patels right next door. When I'm playing my new sim's apartment, I can't see the furnishings in my neighbors apartment. Actually, I can't even see my neighbors in their apartment either!! I only see them when they walk out their front door! So then I thought I had to go in and furnish my neighbors apartment but when I got there, it's already furnished and now my new sims furnishing aren't visible next door! What gives? My "object hiding" is already turned off. Can someone please tell me how to fix this? Is there another setting that maybe I'm not aware of? Am I just that stupid?? LOL
ANy advice would be appreciated :dontknow: Title: Stupid AL ?...why can't I see my neighbors furnishings?? Post by: Engram on November 06, 2008, 09:13:26 pm This is normal. Apartments work kind of like dorms (that came with the University EP) in that you cannot see into the neighbours' apartments unless your sims actually goes to visit.

After I posted this question and began playing a bit more I wondered if that was the case. I wonder why then Maxis has a picture of neighbors apartments on the front of the case. Marketing I guess. Thanks again Engram :o) Title: Stupid AL ?...why can't I see my neighbors furnishings?? Post by: Engram on November 07, 2008, 04:51:51 pm No problem. I don't have it in my game, but maybe try using Pescado's novanishingdorms hack (you'd need Uni, though)? I'm pretty sure there was a hack out there that made the neighbours' apartments remain visible. I was just never interested in it so I didn't pay attention to who made it.

I don't have University yet so I guess thats part of why I didn't know it was normal...lol Once I do get Uni then I'll have to look about that hack. Thanks again :o) Title: Stupid AL ?...why can't I see my neighbors furnishings??
