AutoYakYak Macro Phone Caller (10/25/06)
Ness:
I'm finding that I'm not really liking autoyak deciding that it doesn't need to call particular sims. It seems to leave my teen sims in permanent social desperation unless I want to sit there and manually call sims. I've got several teen sims in different houses where the social is in the absolute red, they have several friends with STR in the 60-80 range (or thereabouts) and autoyak isn't even making the call friends option available for them.
Please fix? Doesn't seem so bad with other ages, but this feature is killing my teens!

Dead Ness Mode added so that low-priority calls where LTR is simply cooking will be made anyway if Social is lower.

This isn't likely to REALLY fix the issue, since I've seen sims go into social whine even making full 30-friend calls a day, but Dead Ness Mode has been added, for whatever good it will do. Death to all Nesses.

I've been experiencing some oddness with this one. At least, I'm pretty sure it's this one. I have both the phone hack and autoyak, as well as the phone hack module.
Anyway, I've got a popularity sim who just went to Uni and aged up as a young adult. She has a cell phone and has had for a while. There are two weird things that are happening:
1. Sometimes the 'Call ... Friends' option does not appear for her. I haven't figured out if it's random or associated with anything, but sometimes when I send her to call Friends, the option isn't there. I keep forgetting to test it out on anyone else, but she's the first one I noticed this problem with.
2. The priority in which she calls her friends is completely messed up. She will call those with the highest LTR/STR first. When the option to call friends appears and I click on it, she invariably calls all the folks she's already 100/100 with and ignores the folks that she's 70/42 with. She is a pop sim, so I've been working on the 30 best friends want, so this is killing me that the phone isn't working like I had become accustomed to. She has enough best friends with high relationships now that by the time she gets through all those high ones to get to the ones I need her to be calling, she needs to hang up and go pee.
Anyway... Not sure what might be going on here, but it seems directly related to this hack.
J. M. Pescado:
Call Friends is primarily a damage-control algorithm. It will NEVER, however, call anyone at 100 STR, because that would be pointless. What you're PROBABLY seeing is damage-control efforts being performed on 98/100s. Since 98 is less than 100, this means that LTR will decay down if this situation is not corrected post-haste. Thus, this situation receives higher priority for resolution than a 70/42, as 70/42 is still "cooking". AutoYak will assign relationships that are still in the "cook" phase a lower priority than those which require damage control, and will not call them at all if social is adequately high, as little would be gained by such an action.
Basically, the Computer is smarter than you are. Trust the Computer. The Computer is your Friend.
Orikes:
Okay. I'll take your word for it. :) I tested it on some other sims and it did seem to be working as expected.
