encouraging and the macrotastic routine
cyperangel:
Hi there..
Just a quick question. Would it in any way be possible to tweak the encouraging macro so that when they are beoing encouraged to do things that involve another sim, they pick the one that is doing the encouraging, instead of trekking across the house, to bug the rest of the household?
It would make things a whole lot smother.
An example: Ive got two parents, and two teenagers. Each parent picks a teen, and encourages them. Instead of just playing red hands with the one that is already encouraging them, they walk over to the other two, and interrupts their enouraging routine, to get the quick red hands fix. It annoys the crap outta me....

JM has a special hack for this:
"Code: encouragificator.zip
Encouragificator (v0.9b) for TS2 v1.0p1-1.0p2 & TS2U v1.0
Made by: Flying Fish System (J. M. Pescado & Doctor Boris)
FEATURES:
Are you tired of the annoying micromanagement involved in trying to use the
Encourage options on your simchildren? Is it so irritating that you give up
because you have to repeat it so many times to accomplish anything, and it
cannot be queued, and usually somebody wanders off in mid-encouragement?
The Encouragificator handles this task management for you! Simply choose
Macro.../Encourage.../Whatever, and it will automatically encourage the sim
in question for you, over and over, until a mood failure occurs or you tell
it to stop.
NOTE: Like with normal Encourage, you cannot queue orders to occur after it,
as the Encourage system does not take well to this. As a result, if you queue
anything after encourage, the action will be terminated.
Finally, you can whip the lazy out of your miserable snotrag sim children!
COMPATIBILITY:
This hack is fully compatible with all FFS hacks.
Does not alter PersonGlobal menu. Tested for TS 1.0p1-p2 and TS2U v1.0."
I have it and it works fine.
cyperangel:
erm.... That is actually what I am using. What I am asking, is if its possible to alter it,so that the one that does the encouraging, is also the one the enouragee picks for interacting with, if needs be, like with playfull, where they have to play red hands with someone to get some personality points... Or outgoing where they tell jokes to someone, or Nice, where they hug.
Right now, they pick the nearest person that is not encouraging them, and that disturbs everything else the family does
J. M. Pescado:
No, this is core to the "Encourage" commands, and not a part of the Encouragifactor.
To strongly discourage them from harassing other family members, try piling orders onto those family members, especially "Power Idle". Power Idle will "block" the search for an idling third-party and thus force them to harass only the encourager.
veilchen:
Ohh, nice. I have to try that, because that habit of finding another sim halfway across the galaxy to test the newly acquired skills is indeed very annoying.
