Apartment Life - A question about Buy Mode and apartments

[strangetomato]

I'm back with another issue and question. It's about the buy mode with apartments. I know you can't normally place items in the common areas of an apartment complex, but is there a way to access this area so you can select and delete items? I looked up cheat codes, but I don't think any of the ones I found enable this (I thought boolProp AptBaseLotSpecificToolsDisabled true/false would do it, but I still couldn't delete anything in the common areas).






As you ACR fans will notice right away, my problem is the adjuster. Not thinking, I spawned it from a sim that was standing there by the garbage can, and now I can't select it to delete it. Is there anything I can do? I really don't want this stack of phonebooks in my shot, even though it could probably just pass for recycling (but people will KNOW it's the ACR adjuster - it's the principle of the thing).

I switched out the old plasticbox apartment complex I was using in Strangetown for this new seedy one that comes in the apartment bin. I think it works pretty well for Strangetown - having it up on supports like that fits in with all the other unusual architectural details in the town. It's a continuity error, but I'm not overly worried. At least I didn't switch out the sim actor who plays Ripp and not even mention it. :P Wouldn't it be funny if it was suddenly just some face template one guy with the same colouring. Man, that would have been a funny gag if I didn't just blow it.

The spoiler here is minimal... or is it? You can pick up a lot of info in this pic if you approach it like a Where's Waldo page.

My beef with those closets is that they're usually in the way of other things, so when I go to click on the toilet, I get: "plan outfit..." The clickable space around the closet is a bit too big. Usually I use InSim for clothing changes anyway, so the fact that those big closets are in every bedroom and you can't delete them is a pain. But I do like the option. For me I think a big pile of clothing on the floor that they can pick and choose from would be even better. Maybe with a new action where they grab the clothing, smell it first, then change into it. ;)

Yeah, they do take up a lot of space, and you end up having to rotate the camera to see things, don't you? That's pretty annoying.

That would be a great object and animation to have in the game. I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but I'm mostly a clothes pile user myself.

I think I may have seen a Pile 'O Clothes hack somewhere at some point, but my memory is a little fuzzy. Just one more thing to make my selfsim a little more realistic.

Well, OK, it's not a pile. It's a stack in a clothes basket. They're all clean tho!
