My sims had no body skill, so they couldn't do yoga. The "gain body skill" just dropps out of thier cue and they stand around doing nothing. :P

Do they have a TV with enough space around it to 'work out'? Macrotastics will usually push that on sims with low body skills and no exercise machines around.

Nah, they didn't have a TV. I'll have to keep that in mind. They did have a sterio they could have "worked out" at, but it was a custom mesh, so macrotastics didn't recognize it? Odd, though, Skillinate->Logic made my sim play chess at a chess table that used a custom mesh. Maybe there simply wasn't room to work out by the sterio; the house is rather croweded.
jsalemi:
It also depends on how the object in question was made -- if it was cloned from a game object, and has the same or similar identifiers, Skillinator can find it. "Work out" does require a lot of room, though, so that may be why they didn't use the stereo (though I'm not sure they ever do use the stereo).
PirateFaafy:
I apologize for necromancy, but I've been told that when having a problem with a mod, one should post within the mod's thread. So, I apologize if this is not what I should be doing.
Anyways, I have been having some trouble with using Logic skillination. I have the expensive telescope in the house, which has the highest base rate out of all Logic-builders (aside from the Biotech station, but we all know that it's crap uninstructed), yet it will drop out of their queue or sometimes simply flash up in the corner and cause horrendous lag. I will then place an indoor chess table and they'll use that just fine. Is it because the telescope is outside? I thought that freezing was a non-issue, and the chances of abduction were negligible. It also won't use it if it's on the top story, inside, next to a large window.
Also, Body has been a bit irritating because I sometimes put coffee tables in the living room and it prevents anyone from working out at the television or stereo. Is there any chance that this could be replaced by either jumping rope or an Instructor with the Impart Knowledge FT Benefit and sufficient body skill? (I've always wondered why Impart Knowledge has a base rate of 200. Borken in my opinion.)
Finally, there is also the flashing-and-lag issue with a Sim who has no cooking skill and no food in the house trying to Macro...Eat while skillinating. It seems to drop and then queue itself up again repeatedly. There were other Sims in the house with 10 cooking - I ended up having to kill the skillinator, serve a few platters, and then turning it back on while cooking some Baked Alaska. (Does anyone know the HungerRate:CookTime ratio for Baked Alaska vs. FT platters? I've found that though the cheese platter seems to be slow, chip and appetizer platters seem to fill hunger fairly quickly with zero cooking time.)
J. M. Pescado:
Odd. Macro-Eat should function without cooking skills now, since it dynamically calculates the food list now. As for the telescope, no idea. Will look into it. Note that the telescope can only be used at night.
