I knew the patch change for Apartment Sims to retrieve their bills was going to be a problem. Now I am having half-dead Sims get up out of bed to get the bills when they live in a residence! It seems to pick whichever Sims has the worst motives, like it does when it chooses a Sim to age up infants.
My seriously ill, pregnant mom was made to repeatedly get out of bed while the father played near the mailbox. I say repeatedly because I kept canceling it from the queue. So if you cancel it, you need to get another Sim to get the bills or it will just keep calling that same Sim over and over. The only good news is that the modded mailbox cover is still working for the residential Sims. They place it there rather than inside, although once when I told them to pay the bills they ran to the edge of the lot to retrieve bills on the sidewalk. I didn't see them place them there, so I'm not sure what happened with that.
For now the Auto Bill Payer object from Sim Wardrobe might be a good workaround for you ( http://www.simwardrobe.com/ ) . Look in the Home Life improvements bit in the Sims 2 objects section there . The bills are pretty much automatically paid just a moment or two after they've just arrived which hopefully won't even give a sim time to queue up an action for the mailbox :)

I installed it about 5 minutes ago (I'm infected with Securom already anyway). No problems so far, but, you know, I've only been playing for 5 minutes. Anyway, it didn't cause a reset. The 2 lots that I've visited so far were exactly as I left them. I seem to remember that patches caused a game reset... is that just my imagination? Did it not install properly, or can anyone else with the patch confirm this?

Installing the patch will not install SecuROM on your system.
Thanks for confirming that, guys. I'm just too paranoid about this.
Pescado, I love macrotastics, but if the whole AI system were run the same way, it would get boring. It'd be nicer to see something similar that allowed for some randomness dependent on the personality of the sim, the sim's mood, etc. After all, people don't always do the most logical thing either.

I didn't get the reset either. I was confused. Thanks for letting me know I wasn't the only one.
