Default WCIF replacements for Pescado's apthack?
At the moment, I use Pescado's apthack. I dislike the apartment pricing feature of it - even an unfurnished apartment can run rather expensive! So I'm looking for a hack (or hacks) that do the same features as what I have bolded below:

Quote:
FEATURES:
1. Neighbor behavior in apartments now depends on furniture installed inside
their apartments and common area: Motives restored on going into apartments
depends on what furniture that the neighbors have in there, and neighbors
leaving their apartment will do so to resolve motives based on things
located in the common area.
2. Neighbors will not suddenly run off for no reason while you are trying to
interact with them.
3. Neighbors will not emerge and stand around for hours with nothing to do.
4. Rent-payer hour moved to hour that is non-suicidal for vampire tenants.
5. Cash exploit for fixtures removed: You can no longer receive free cash
merely for moving into an apartment and then moving out because you are not
charged for the value of fixtures, but are still credited for them on move
out: Sims must pay an initial deposit equal to the sell value of fixtures
in their apartment, which is returned via the normal move-out process.
6. Option to rent furnished integrated with above: Door will display two
rental prices, the higher deposit value being the furnished price.
7. Going to work/on errands no longer magically restores neighbors. Work motive
drain is equivalent to the normal drain for their particular job and level.
Errands will still restore typical motives, much like your own sims can go
and green on community lots (Gain Hunger/Soc/Fun/etc., energy not so much).
8. Apartments made functional in universities: YAs can now rent apartments and
generated NPC apartment neighbors will spawn as YAs and go to class.
9. Fixed bug where sims were going home into the wrong apartments.
A. Landlord will not host gathering if pizza person does not exist (no spam!),
or if swarm of resulting Zergs exceeds legal visitor max (major lag!).
B. Visiting sims no longer get stuck forever in apartments that black out or get
lost in the wrong apartments.


Alternately, as I do know how to use SimPE, could someone give me instructions on removing the 'deposit' mentioned in #5? I cracked it open in SimPE but didn't know what to do.

I've been wanting the deposit removed too. A normal apartment being as expensive as a house is silly.

I considered opening it up and just deleting the relevant BHAVs but....I really don't know if that would work or just break things bad. I guess I could try it on a test hood.

I tried deleting some BHAVs and Sims ended up not being able to rent apartments. I'm sure I didn't delete the right things. I wouldn't be too concerned about messing things up in testing -- when I replaced my borked version with the original mod everything worked fine again and Sandy Bruty was able to rent her nice little condo without trouble. After lots of "kaching"-ing :P.

I just use "Money 45844534565834" in the console to get enough to rent, and then "Money 20000" to set it back.

It has to do with the allmenus cheat:
