What's Wrong With 25 Toboggan Way? Won't Convert to Apartment
So I spent several hours building more apartments on the 25 Toboggan Way lot. (Tiny House/large lot). I was building them the same way Maxis built the house on that lot, I thought they would make cute one bedroom/single apartments.
First problem, I know this is due to M&G but I couldn't place stairs because if you place a wall first you can't place stairs after M&G..argh.. (question, where can I find Lordy Darcy's fix (?) for the M&G bug concerning this? I think it was Lord Darcy who fixed M&G stair placement problems. ETA: the message will say can't place stair, this is if next to a wall, you have to remove walls then place stairs.
Second, how many tiles do we leave empty above a stair case in TS2? Because the game will allow you to cover some space above the modular stairs and the other ones, (just like the Maxis lot) but if you cover above the stairs for second floor etc., (not sure how many spaces overhead it needs) the lot will say Invalid apartment on lot. Argh. So, I discovered this is a problem with TS2 allowing to place one too many tile or carpet or whatever over the stairwell. This is possible even without move objects on..so how many spaces above stairs are needed empty before it will throw such an error?
Third, after I was able (I just removed all tile above the staircase and left a big gapping hole in the floor) it converted but the residential mailbox would not convert to the apartment mailbox. Argh.
I searched my downloads and removed the 'buyable mailbox' thinking it may interfere with the Maxis mailbox converting but nothing I do will convert the residential mailbox to the apartment mailbox.
It says I have apartments for rent, and has the icon overhead but when you enter the lot, the mailbox has not changed.
Btw, once you level the pond on that lot, the lot is still not level and that was another problem when building second floors. I had to redig pond, then level it again to make it level out so the grid would not be so low I couldn't place furniture. What a buggy lot!
