Automated Baby Controller
jennydeenyc:
Well, I know that prior to my new EP installations, I could often have the only adult in the house doing a Macro...Garden routine, and they would be called by the babycontroller to tend to an infant/toddler's needs, then return to gardening when the kid was ok to be left alone again. The babycontroller command wouldn't kill the Macro...Garden command, it would just usurp it momentarily. I know I noticed this behavior specifically, because I was worried about having my designated babysitter running on macros and not being able to tend to the little ones, but it was never an issue until now.
J. M. Pescado:
That hasn't specifically changed. All the "placeholder" actions like macro Be Farmer are considered stationkeeping, so the babycontroller will grab them.

I think you're mistaken. You were probably using Business... Be Farmer, as Pes says. It has the same icon as Macro... Garden, but BeFarmer (also BeFisherman) is like PowerIdle. The latter two allow user-issued commands into the queue. They did before your new EPs, and they still do! :D Besides the Baby Controller, you can also manually issue any command you want and after the current task completes, the sim will go do what you ask, even if it isn't one of the macro options. Macro... Garden, Clean, Skill, all of those options aren't interruptable. They assume that your highest priority for that sim is to garden, clean or skill.

I've never ever used Business...Be Farmer. I've only ever used the Macro...Garden command to force sims to tend to their crops. In fact, until you mentioned it, I didn't even know there was a Business...Be Farmer option at all.
seelindarun:
Hack conflict, or old-versioned? :-\ I dunno what to tell you except that you could use BeFarmer now, instead of MacroGarden. I only have BV right now and the baby controller doesn't interrupt MacroGarden now, or previously with Seasons.
