Thank you for the back-lit poster!
Not only is the original artwork (and the recolours) wonderful, but I have found that this object is useful as an outdoor sign for community lots, just by making recolours of it with the shop name and any appropriate pics.  Looks great outside at night too.

I have many lots with basements.  Since installing AL, all of my basements are now "flooded."  Fortunately my sims are sort of dimwitted and don't know they are wading around in chest-deep water! Also, in neighborhood view, these lots show a lot of "sand" radiating out from them.
the only way I have worked around this is to build a duplicate of the basement room on a new upper floor of the house, (so I can remember how it is arranged), then demolish the basement room, and relevel the terrain.  Then exit lot, re-enter and rebuild the basements, which then work fine-- no flooding.  And the "sand" disappears in neighborhood view.  What a lot of work though!  I wonder if Maxis can ever release a new pack that is bug-free from the get-go?  Pre-release, they should hire a dozen simmers to test these lots-- Maxis people must not know how to really play through the game!  Seems all of us "ordinary players" are the ones to easily find all the bugs-- after official release!

Remember Maxis states there should be only ONE entrance to an apt. there may be private yard space but it must be completely enclosed by some type of fencing, as you have to use a door to get to it.  The point being that if you have any other doors besides the apt front door other sims will attempt to use it and it will mess up the lot.  Same for garages. I have built mine attached to side of apt with a door from kitchen into garage and it works fine.  Remember, visting sims will not use a garage door as an entry, so only the sim who lives in that apt will use the garage door to access the car.  If my sim is in the common yard area and I click on the car to tell him to go to a community lot, he will sometimes enter the garage through the garage door instead of going through the apt first-- no problem.  AL sees the garage as another "room" of the apt.  I can purchase a car after sim has moved in to the apt with no problem. Just remember to place all the appropriate driveway pieces while still building the apts as a residential zone. A bonus!  I build the garage wing with a flat roof accessable via a door on the second floor of apt and voila-- my sim has a nice private rooftop patio!  By making a little private yard in the back of apt (with completely enclosed fencing) your sim can buy gardening plots to use there.  Or if there is enough room on the lot you can attach a greenhouse to the apt for additional plants also.
Just remember that the main key is to never have but one entry door (the apt door).  Any other doors that lead outside or to garages must open to completely enclosed areas.  Since visiting sims do not regard a garage door as an entry door to apt or home it sort of is a barrier the same as fences and walls.

Thank you, Julie!
You "feed" the bears well!
