Feed yourselves, already!
Liz:
This was mentioned a few times in the FT Bork List thread, but I just reread the entire thread and couldn't find a fruitful fix...
Since installing FT my sims have all but lost the ability to keep themselves from starving to death. I'm playing with Dizzy's leftover array installed (file dates match his latest), so they will occasionally manage to Have a Leftover. But for the most part, if there is not a meal sitting out on the counter already, they will wander around fantasizing about drumsticks until they're about to die. Then they'll attempt a 'stuff face' which is a stopgap measure, at best.
When managing the 3 households I had in play before today, I didn't really notice the problem, as those families are small enough groups that I'd always just told them to eat when it was time. However, today I just started an Asylum Challenge... OY. My controllable can Serve Cereal before she leaves for work (can't make much more than that yet), and by the time she gets home they're queued up 4- or 5-deep to 'stuff face' at the fridge.
The FT Bork List thread talks about this being related to having Aspiration Bonuses assigned, but this is definitely not the case. New lot, Maxis fridge & stove, haven't even looked at the others' Wants, much less assigned them any boni. I also have the FT patch installed, if that means anything.
So has anyone come up with another answer to this problem?

Kill them?
No, I'm serious. I've had a couple of sims since FT behave in that manner. I decided that they no longer want to live. The vast majority of my sims (and I have 33 playables at the moment) will feed themselves too much instead of too little, even with noeatcrap. I don't apply bonuses until sims turn teen, but all my teens+ have all their points used.
Have you noticed any correlation with aspiration level? It's been awhile since I've had a sim like this, so I can't remember if they were permaplat or what.
Liz:
They're only a couple of sim-days old. I've not been addressing their Wants/Needs in any way since this is an Asylum Challenge, so their Aspiration is likely to be quite low (there may be a Knowledge in there somewhere doing okay, but I've seen no Plat icons).
Should they continue this suicidal lameassery, I'll be happy to let 'em die off in a little bit, but it'd be nice if the inmates could manage at least a sim-week before removing themselves from the gene pool, you know? "Your sims are smarter now!" my shiny, metal ass. ::)
Arina:
Do you have a no autonomous fridge use hack? Mine is called ijNoAutonomyFridgesPatchOFB.package. It's extremely useful, but not with the asylum challenge XD Anyway, this is how my sims act with it installed. However, I'm only playing with all EPs up to BV, so this could be a FT thing like you mentioned.

Are there any specific rules against setting them all to Macro...Power Idle beforehand? It might better handle these situations than the EAxis autonomy system. If there are rules against that, then can't you just make your own rule in this matter? If following the rules is proven ineffective, then the rules must be changed.
