Second AL patch is out.
J. M. Pescado:
Because the bills are no doubt "false advertising", causing the sim with the worst values to respond to it, while the action itself does not help. Try global-proscribing the mailbox. Slapping a global proscription on mailboxen ought to kill that one dead.
Inge:
Or a more positive approach might be that whichever sim is forced to get the mail, actually does get all the advertised motives greened up. :)
I wonder if Sims 3 has made any attempt at AI programming?

According to all the preview demonstrations, where it always ends with some sim pissing itself, the answer is firmly a "No".
In fact, the very demonstration of "visiting another sim's home" illustrated exactly what I mentioned would happen: That the sim, trapped with no rabbit hole to retreat to, proceeded to piss itself.
This is unencouraging, given that they ELIMINATED NEARLY ALL OF THE OTHER MOTIVES, leaving only the 3 "core" motives, yet the sim was STILL unable to prevent a failure. All this suggests that the AI has not only failed to improve, it has, in fact, gotten considerably worse.
Inge:
After Sims 3 comes out and we are sure there are no more Sims 2 EPs, I want to rewrite Sims 2.
First I would introduce proper categorisation to all objects. Then, instead of looking around the lot and for each object's options thinking "hmm how attractive is this to the aggregate of my needs" the sim will think "Do I have any needs?" and having identified one, it will look for an object of category "bladder relief". Then the sim will run "CT - empty bladder" on that object. Never mind trying to guess what menu option number it is. It will work more like the functional trees. This will loop round all bladder relief objects until the sim finds one it can reach. Preferably after sorting by distance.
In fact there is no reason bladder relief should not be nested in other productive avtivities.
J. M. Pescado:
In other words, you want to reinvent Macrotastics? :P
