Re: Apartment walls to the hall ruin the view
@OkayLazySimHuh. That's an interesting idea. So, you want the wall separating the apartment from the hallway to be considered an "exterior" wall, as far as walls up/down/cutaway is concerned.
That's a good idea. However, we can see why it's not like that. The walls separating the apartment from the hallway, while "exterior" to the apartment, is still considered "interior" to the entire building. And that's what the game goes by.
They likely left it like that because it was easier. It already worked like that and making them work like an exterior wall would entail extra programming and coding.
I'm not sure if I'd like it like that. I'd think it would make seeing the hallway MUCH more difficult. Especially since the hallways are usually narrow, and the walls on the other side are always other apartments which you can't bring the walls down at all. So, this means in order to see the hallway properly, you'd have to resort to bringing the walls completely down every time... which would be a severe annoyance.
