The benefits of the hobby mags are high, as the mag has a base enth. gain rate of 200... best rate in the game as far as I know.
Same rate as Blog, then.
Well, good news, at any rate: EAxis was smart enough this time NOT to generate a filthy 12 just to pop its ugly mug in the dialog: If one does not exist, the dialog is simply faceless.

I assume that you'd still get the 12 spawned to deliver hobby mag's, or to make the subscription call.
I've never called for either of those things and am unclear as to what their actual BENEFITS are, so I've never seen a 12 deliver that, either. Is it the same annoying 12?
Seems to me that the chief hobby person is the one who makes the subscription call, but it's the same 12 in the yellow news-delivery outfit who delivers the magazine.
If you reject the subscription call, you get a pop up featuring the news delivery 12 saying you can call to subscribe if you change your mind.
I thought that was only if you unsubscribed, and that the pop-up for initial subscription and subsequent rejection was the main hobby person. Ah well. It's no matter. I'm sure the FOJ will find a way to stompinate appropriately.

Nothing to stompinate - see FOJ reply above yours.
Actually, the way EAxis have written it, they actually call a different dialog control if no 12's are found. So if you run a paperdeliveratorless hood - that dialog confirms you still have no 12's. If you ever see one, they already exist.
If you want the actual phonecall stompinated but keep the dialog then I have a hack for that already.

That's what I get for reading/writing before first cup of coffee is finished. I managed to miss all posts on page 2, d'oh!
The paper deliveries and magazine deliveries and 12s and phone calls don't actually bother me. I was just making conversation, more or less ;-)

They bother me, but not enough to throw something about it. Since my current 'hood involves jerking over a lot of townies, I get lots of hobby states that are ready for the magazine option. So with the Nejem's last night, in one season I had six calls. Considering that until the abduction craze of nights 3, 4, and 5 all the three sims did was sit on the couch autonomously reading, those calls stuck out more.
