Macro Control: Macrotastics
drace:
*delurks*
I redownloaded the macrotastics only a few hours ago from the FT directory (don't have AL), while I was updating my hacks. I loved quite a few options on it in the past (which always worked as intended), but hadn't used other options at all yet.
So I tried to tell my sim to macro > hobbinate > Arts - which I never tried before - and expected him to do something arts related. Instead he went to the phone and phoned random friends up (It showed "Interacton > Call" or something like that in the queue, followed by the hobbinate arts icon.) acting like he got the command Call > friends.
*very confused now* Is it supposed to do that, or am I doing something wrong?
J. M. Pescado:
Yes. All the hobbinates take care of business first, so if your sim has unfinished maintenance he needs to do, that will be done first. All the Hobbinates are just idle macros, basically Power Idle with Hobbies instead.

Does the kid/teenager need to know how to study before he/she will Do Homework? I was playing the Ottamas family and Sharla just got an A+, but every time I tried to get her to do homework, she wouldn't do it. I finally found her homework and had to manually have her do it. The only reason why I could think that this wouldn't work was because she didn't know how to sutdy. I have Seasons and am using Macrotastics last updated on 1/2/09.

They should't need to, but they will attempt to acquire this skill with greater priority if they don't.

Well, first, make sure you're using the latest version. Secondly, define "wouldn't do it". Exactly HOW is it that she is not doing it? Does the option simply not exist? Does it drop from queue? Does the sim move to the destination first? Are motives all sufficiently green, and if not, are the relevant things needed to FIX the problem installed? Do Homework will attempt to restore motives to functional levels before doing anything, so if, for instance, there are no approved Fun Objects, or soforth, the sim will not be able to green up and therefore the task will drop.

It drops from the queue (similar to if I try to have them skill up and the appropriate object isn't present). Motives were green and and I have flamingos installed. I've installed macrotastics last updated 1/31/09 and will try again.
