how do I update radios to free time
Qwiggles:
I tried this with one of my custom stereos. All pie menu functions showed up except for "tinker". Is that what I should expect? How do I get the tinkering thingie to come up? :D

Unlike TVs, I couldn't find a way to enable "Tinker" in custom stereos yet. I replaced pie menu with extracted stereo semi-global, but no joy. Even freshly cloned custom stereo doesn't have Tinker option.

Well, I'll wait patiently for you to figure it out. ;D Thank you for all your input regarding FT updates.

I looked into Guardian BHAV of Tinker for stereos. It's one of those pesky "self-referencing" BHAVs, which checks specific hard-coded GUIDs of Maxis objects. It checks for GUIDs of 2 base game stereos, and prevents Tinkering for all stereos but those two. Which means that even new FT vintage stereo cannot be Tinkered, despite having required SLOT and animations. I guess EAxis did it in this way so that Tinker option does not show up for other types of stereos like jukeboxes or boomboxes, which lack required SLOT and animations for Tinkering. Using hard-coded GUIDs in BHAVs is EVIL, it's a dirty, quick way to do the thing though. (Remember that stupid OFB Decra-Chill display fridge, which wouldn't accept any cakes but 2 base game cakes? Gah.)
To enable Tinkering for custom stereos, either a global mod altering stereo semiglobal or custom Guardian BHAV for each custom stereo would be required. Currently I'm not bothering with either of them, it's not like there is no alternative way to gain Tinkering Enthusiasm.

Quite right, I'm with you on that one. I'll just have to find another way to get my tinkering urges satisfied... :)
