macrotastics questions
LordHellscream:
since there isnt a thread for all the old hacks u made before u made your own site, im posting the question here instead.
as i read from the rtfm file, when a sim is on power idle mode, they are supposed to sustain themselves without player intervention. and it's also mentioned that sim should even call friends if autoyak is installed
now my sims on power idle mode doesnt eat when hungry (eat macro is working perfectly), doesn't go to bed when energy is really low (go to bed macro is working), and doesnt call friends when social is low as hell and everything else is full. (autoyak is working fine in other situations)
other needs seem to be fine, though i would really like them be a little bit more active, i mean, when they are being idle, they might as well do something more productive instead of standing/sitting there until a need is getting really low. (may be start fixing needs when one drop below 75% and there is no other pressing thing to do, also clean/repair/gradening more actively, autoyak when threre is nothing else to do just for the sake of it etc)
the goal should be that when im back controlling the sim again, he/she should be in a near-perfect condition

Aaahh!! Save your lips!
The old FFS hacks are in The Armory (or if you're Brirish, the Armoury).

LordHellscream, I am not entirely sure, but I think JM fixed something that had to do with the power idle only recently, although I don't know if it was connected with your particular problem. You might want to check the updated version for that, unless of couse, you have already done that and it did not solve your problem. In that case, my apologies for redundancy.
As I said, I'm not sure at all about this (I read about this when JM was still on the VS forums, so it's not real news), but it can't hurt to try, no? :P

Some needs are treated more aggressively than others. Some conditions suspend things. For instance, a sim will not eat until a MUCH lower point if he expects to receive free food from work or school soon. As for "energy really low", I'm not really sure how low you meant by low. Social is not inherently balanced, though: If a sim has no friends that need calling, he can't use the AutoYak macro, and is reliant on the "sitting" thing to regain social. Otherwise, since all his relations are maxed, he has nobody to call and must simply wait for the bunny. The three needs you mentioned as "not working" are the ones that I'm extremely fascist about, and this appears in the idling macro as a result: Food is expensive and wasteful, and if a sim starts to run out of energy well before bedtime, he normally will seek caffeine. If none is available, he's made to suffer until he gets much lower. Eating food is considered only as a last resort action.
