macrotastics questions
Karen:
I'm still having problems with pregnant Sims set to Power Idle nearly starving to death because they are too exhausted to eat. The scenario goes something like this: Pregnant Sim's hunger and energy are both very low. Eventually her energy drops low enough that the Go to Bed is triggered. Meanwhile her hunger continues to drop. When hunger gets into the red, if I try to get her out of bed to prepare food or eat (or if the Macro...Eat is triggered automatically), often the Macro...Go to Bed will be triggered before she even takes a bite. So she goes back to bed, but now she's too hungry to sleep. She wakes up, signals hunger desperation, maybe takes a few steps toward the kitchen, but she's still exhausted, so the Go to Bed is triggered again and she jumps back into bed. Cycle repeats until she is in danger of starving to death, or until I take pity on her and put a source of food (and a chair and table) right next to her bed so she won't have to go far to reach it. Even then it takes a lot of effort to get her to stay awake long enough to eat.
Is it possible to make the Macro...Eat take precedence over the Macro...Go to Bed, in situations where both are in the red but Hunger is so low as to be life-threatening? Given a choice between having my Sim pass out or starve to death, I'll take the "pass out" option any day.

I think this is actually a "duelling" problem between the Sleep Clock's "Call" feature and the Macro Idle. This was reduced in an update, but ultimately, Hunger and Energy being simultaneously low is still a high-risk killer for sims. If both go red at once, it's time for the Energizer.

I have the NL patch installed and i downloaded the new Macrostatics in the NL section of the Armory, so i'm guessing it is compatible with NL.
However all my sims just don't do anything when it is is on. they will all act like all their need are full, even with their needs in red!
Can anyone help?
Oh, also, does the Power Idle send sims to bathroom even wthout "bathroomusesyou" hack installed?
Motoki:
It's been working fine for me for the most part. They do take care of their needs, but only when they get down fairly low, but not all the way. The only part I'm having trouble with is caffeinate. When their energy is around say a third to a half or higher they'll do just fine with it, but if their energy is really low, they immediately stop, put the cup in the dishwasher, then go get another one etc etc in and infinite loop and don't seem to gain any energy.
That's the only real issue I've had with it though. Otherwise it works as normal with or without the patch. I wonder if maybe you have something else that might conflict with it? You don't have lesswhiny do you? Because I know that has an issue with NL that makes sims just stand around.
jrd:
Power Idle requires bathroomusesyou to exist before it sends Sims to the bathroom.
As an alternative, try dizzy2's "ask plumbob" mode, which does not make Sims boring.
