Certainly was similar to a punch to the head.

If you really want the mailman to wear winter clothes in the winter, and are willing to switch it per season, you could use the NPC replacer from simswardrobe to give them a winter outfit and switch back when it's warm enough.
Excellent idea! I'll forget the outerwear, but make them wear long pants, that should minimize the annoyance factor... I think.

MTS2 has a new hack for fully covering the hood in snow during the winter, no grass showing. I dunno if it's just from the neighborhood view or not though.
Yeah, I downloaded that but didn't have the chance to test it yet since I've been too buzy playing Zombiehorde the last couple of days. Hopefully the hack does the trick..

There are hacks that will make them autonomously study from bookshelves - I *think* I saw one updated for the season's bookshelf but have no clue where. I think macrostatics would help with this, but I don't use it so am not sure.
I'll have to googley-google then. I'm still learning how to take benefit of Macrotastics..

BUY will make them shower, and thus change into everyday clothing, before leaving the bathroom.
I can put up a computer, set it up, solve the problems, give support to others but I don't know how to use BUY. RTFM tells it all, but I just can't figure out. Well, people's talents vary... Guess I'll have to read RTFM once again..

There are hacks that either don't allow them to make food on their own at all, or don't allow single servings. Try squinge's from insim.
I did try it but it didn't quite work. Must be one of my gazillion hacks that didn't like it..

I don't think any of Pescado's mods are really meant to let you just watch the sims while they do something on their own. You can power idle them so they won't do stupid stuff on their own, but you still hafta one way or another tell them what to do - just not click so much to do it. I think.
Yeah, I didn't mean it the way it sounded. See, I have these filler families that I need to produce children, but I have this sick want of them having memories from the start - I don't really wanna play them, but I want their children to have memories that they make. I'd like them to be fully lived when I pair their children with my favorite families' children.. :) Once I let one family live on their own when I went to bed (and had a good five-houry sleep) and only one teenage sim survived..
The point I was trying to make was that if the Maxian creeps had worked on the AI a bit more, their free-willed lives would be longer and safer. I used to run only idiotism-removing hacks, but I guess I'll have to start running hacks that really change the game-play.
I always thought free will lets them live on their own, not burn the whole place down.
Thanks for the polite answer to the harsh set of opinions :)

How hard is it to go to the dresser (if one exists in the same room they sleep in), put some clothes on and go get breakfast.
There's a hack (by Squinge?) that causes sims to autonomously change into everyday clothing as soon as they get out of bed. Smonoff at MTS2 also has a 'sleep in any outfit' hack, which allows sims to sleep in everyday clothing, if you so desire. Either of these can save a lot of time, since the sims take so long to do everything.

Stupid EA has sold me almost €250 worth crap..
No joke.

I can't even pretend to know what goes into programming a game's AI, so I can't speak to whether or not Maxis/EA did a good job with theirs or not. What gets me is that option to "sim while minimized" so that your sims can go about their lives while you're reading email or whatnot - can they possibly think these sims can be trusted not to kill themselves in various lamebrained ways while I'm away? I've tried just letting a family loose on their own for a few sim-days, just to see if they'd surprise me with something interesting, but the only 'interesting' thing they seem to do is find some reportedly fun activity to get stuck in until they've peed themselves or set the house on fire with yet another plate of lobster thermidor they don't need.
Fortunately, I actually enjoy *playing* the game and would find it boring just to let it go on about itself without me. But the fact that Maxis/EA seems to think these sims are even remotely capable of caring for themselves while I go do something else? That's just funny as hell ::)
