Re: HOW TO CREATE APARTMENT?

@kwohld  I only know what the mod documentation says: that normally, a door can only be designated as an NPC door if it's inside a room, or inside an enclosed fence (amounts to the same thing), but the mod allows doors not enclosed to also be NPC doors.  I mentioned it because it looked from your screenshot like you might need that feature.

Can you use the apartment callbox to summon Olive Kipling after adding her?  Does it help to "save as"/quit/reload?  I haven't used apartments enough to know if there might be a delay in the ability to summon the sim using the door or if the callbox is more reliable.  But I do know from reading mod-related forum discussions that this approach should work.

    You are a genius! So just to reiterate for any other players having this issue, after I downloaded Buzzler's Fix NPC Door mod at Mod The Sims and added my playable family, I set my NPC door and moved Olive Kipling in through MasterController's Add Sim function, then I reset Olive Kipling. It showed as "nobody home" when my Sim rang the bell, but after she buzzed them at the callbox, I am able to ring the doorbell and talk to Olive if she's at home. Thank you so very much PuzzlezAddict!!! 😃
