I know many of you do not use hacks in your game and will wait for EA to release a patch, however, for those of you who want a fix now Pescado has released a global mod to fix some of the serious issues with Apartment Life.



You can download this fix from MTS2 here
Or if you are not a member there you can go to MATY and download from here
You want the second one on the list, named alfixes.zip

Edited to add:
You may also wish to download the notownieregen file as well. Some peoples games are experiencing the mass townie bug again.
if you have a high spec computer, I would not worry about it, if your game is already a little borked, or you are experiencing far to many of a particular character (mass witches/charlatans[again] vampires etc..) you might want to grab that fix as well.
It is available from the second link above.
