Macro Control: Macrotastics
wenfish:
I just downloaded this last night and played with it quite a bit today. I have only FFS Hacks in my game and I have most of them. It worked PERFECTLY. I have every expansion pack and have been playing the sims since the first sims 1. All I can say is "genius" once again! This one I think is my favorite. On another note...I noticed that with free time you can't use the conference call (silver popular) with the phone hack. Thanks again for this hack! ::)

When I Macro-Caffeinate and the available caffeine provider in the lot is the new FT coffee-machine, the sim keeps drinking and disposing of the cups but doesn't gain energy at all. (I think the same happened with the LS Stories super coffee machine too) They do gain energy normally though through the CoffeeBeanShrub from CS Stories.
OK, I'm having the same issue. Sims can seemingly caffeinate on comm lots when at a coffee bar, but none of the coffee makers on residential lots contribute to energy anymore, not even the espresso. The sim makes coffee, sips once or twice, and disposes of the cup, rinse, repeat. Ultimately, he collapses on the floor in sheer exhaustion.
It's funny the first couple of times, but y'know...
talysman:
Don't caffeinate when the sim is nearly exhausted. The thought balloon for "DAMN, I'M EXHAUSTED!" will stomp the coffee drinking, which causes exactly the behavior you describe.
If a sim is about 1/8th to 1/6th energy, caffeinate should work fine. Test that before you test anything else. Make sure no other needs are at desperation levels, though.
Emma:
Yeah, the kick-out point for most macro>skillinate actions is dangerously low when the sim is in platinum mood. You have to keep an eye on the energy level and cancel the action for sims to caffeinate properly. It is gets too low and they sip then dump the cup, get them to bed for a sim-hour, get them up and then caffeinate. That works too.
Cappuccino:
Oh cool, I figured it might be it cause every time it happened the sim was close to falling asleep anyway.
