So what the hell are the benefits of being in The Zone anyway?

Does the food supply in the fridge have to be at least moderately low before this happens? Or is it a 40% chance every time the fridge is not completely full to the brim?

Because if it's the latter, well, that's a lot of groceries.

I'm not sure about the level that triggers it but I can tell you I altered the BHavs of that hack so they didn't do it so often.  It was often enough to annoy me.  Then again I have a very low tolerance for sims doing things without permission.

Just to report, disabling no-stuff-face seemed to do the trick and allow my sims to autonomously try to feed themselves, coming up with an action to Have a meal but actually pulling a leftover out of the fridge instead. Yays!

I have Inge's No Autonomy Fridge patch and I've never had any luck with Dizzy's Have A Leftover either. I wonder if there's a conflict there?


Dizzy's Have a Leftover modifies autonomous fridge behavior, so yes, there's a conflict. When sims autonomously try to make a meal, his mod makes them grab a leftover instead.

Being in the zone seems to slow motive decay.  Just not by much.

Ran a test:  Max Motives, paint entire painting, screenshot.  Same sim, five times without zone, five times with.  Fresh sim with no LTA bonuses applied.

I layered the results in Photoshop to show any variation between individual rounds; there was little.

Results here: top zoned, bottom not.  http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm1/highstresslevel/thezonetestresults.jpg

These results appear inconclusive at best.  Difference is minimal, therefore likely not significant.  Can not reject null hypothesis of no apparent difference.  My view would be that the zone remains, by and large, useless.
