Can't greet delivery person
Tigerlilley:
I have this problem too, not on every lot though. I have all expansions.
What is the hacks you recommend Dizzy?
dizzy:
Since you have all the EPs, you can use my "no-auto-accept-delivery" which will prevent the situation of a sim preventing the one you control from accepting the delivery and thus annoying and delaying your efforts.
If you had been stuck with base or Uni, you would be forced to do some design change to the house to better facilitate the stupidity of the Maxis code (i.e. use a bigger patio and/or make your front door more obviously in front).
ZephyrZodiac:
I used to get this problem in the base game, mainly with the lot at the end of the road (next door but one to the Broke house) and the delivery van would then get stuck on the lot. The original patch cleared this up. I presume your sister has installed the necessary patches for the base game and Uni?
As dizzy says, you may also need to make larger front doorsteps and make sure there is plenty of room for sims to manouevre.
The Federal Fortress was a problem for me because the delivery people always tend to go round to the back door. You could try the "Bamboozle" doors from MTS2, and replace the back door with one of them.
jsalemi:
Doesn't JM have a hack that fixes the front door problem? Frontdoorhack?
ZephyrZodiac:
He does indeed, but if I remember correctly, it didn't use to work on one of the delivery NPCs, (Mitch Wolosenko) can't think why, but that one always went round to the back of the Federal Fortress (home of Keanu Broke and family) and then, if the answering sim went to the front door he'd then stroll through the house while the said sim was on his way round to the back. If no-one else was at home to intercept the delivery, this became an extended game of Follow my Leader!
I think Mitch is a bit borked, if I ever had problems with deliveries, it was almost always him - he'd be paid and then go and help himself to the toilet in payment because he hadn't been paid, things like that!
