Macro Control: Macrotastics
nekonoai:
So far, the only hobbies that I've had to direct sims to objects are sports, games, music, and fitness. The others seem to find relevant objects. (I'm using the macros from March 7th, btw)
Tho I wish the arts people would use something other than the easel... I'm thinking of taking that away from them and seeing if they go to the pottery wheel or sewing machine. It was fine when they were kids and it was all they could use, but come on! :P

I only recently added sports actions, probably in the most recent version. Games, the current version should be able to locate any of: Pinball Machine, Arcade Machine, Computar, Game Console. It will preferentially choose the Browse/Blog options on the computer if available, as they are quiet, inoffensive, and not shameless plugs for EAxis crap. Music requires a Standard Instrument of some kind or the test-directory Dance Positioner. Fitness recognizes Tai-Chi (req dance positioner) and any of the exercise benches (T+).

The Arts people use the Easel because I don't know of any other arts actions at the moment, other than the pottery and sewing machine, which drain energy. Energy-drain actions are bad mojo.
Kyna:
What about viewing art repeatedly? I had a sim with maxed out art hobby go and view his toddler's first scribble (which I'd put on the wall), and he got the zone glow while viewing it.
For games, will you be adding non-electronic games such as chess or playing pool, or are they already included?

SO the sports people will use the f'n soccer and basketball objects now?
No board games?
The house I'm playing now [with moar breeding] doesn't have a TV and I'd like to keep it that way. The film/lit kid can f'n read books. I've also taken out the computer because they all want to blog all day long, and eff that.
Is violin a "standard instrument"?
Pottery and sewing drain energy? Even when in the zone? Most of my T+ are nearly in the zone if not already there... so would that still be a problem? I guess I could always have them macro skillinate/badginate pottery and sewing. But meh. :)
I'll hafta download the new hax when I get home. whee!
Jelenedra:
Yeah, the game recognizes the chess set as a games hobby item. Very quiet.
