Oh, wow! My servo, who went on a Far East vacation and learned to teleport, just teleported during a gardening macro!
Is that your doing? (I can't see EAxis being that smart)
Of course it is. EAxis can't even figure out that you need to MOVE TO THE DESTINATION before you can do anything, and would rather take 3 hours doing it. Never is this more apparent than in Castaways, where a sim can burn half a tank of gas just crossing the lot.

And if so, does that work for all special movements? (like vamp fly if the vamp can't run)
Vamp Fly is not used as a movement mode because it offers little or no speed benefit over walking. In some cases it is able to bypass interposing objects and fly through them, but for the most part this is not a movement mode that offers a real speed boost. As true ground-distance calculation is not something that can be easily performed using the tools available, we can't determine what benefit will be attained by utilizing the flight mode. As such, we only have a relatively crude heuristic estimate used to determine the movement mode to use.

Also, update on queue smashing: So far the only thing I've seen do it is an employee quitting and that didn't happen the other night. Can cranky customers crush queues? Or maybe it was just a bizarre, one night only series of queue dropping...
Yes, cranky customers using the "Complain" Action can queuestomp.

haha, are those "stories" games really worth getting at all? I haven't tried any of them.

Any chance of increasing the flight speed to make it worth using? It's just so damn cool! ;D
Also, how do you (read: I) learn to do this stuff? All the tutorials I've found basically say "there's no way to teach it, you just do it" :-\

That might be some of what caused it, then. Still doesn't explain the bandatron businesses...but I guess it can't be too common if I only had it the few times the other night and nothing since.

They are a cute concept. Not enough content to be worth paying for, and you won't want to play past the scenarios since you already have Sims2. Pescado ripped the special objects over in Playsets & Toys.

Is there anything I can get to make the macros repair local relationships the way they do the phone-ins with autoyak?
