No autonomous gestures - PLEASE!
Bruce Banner:
:) Kathy at InSim as made a few non-autonomous hacks for Bon Voyage including no autonomous gestures :)
MissDoh:
The one Kathy made needs a bit of fine tuning. It does not work properly with all the gestures.

I kinda like the gestures, my sim gets up in the morning and on her way to the bathroom she does the chest pound thing. It's cute!
I can understand not wanting it to spread through the hood though, if any of my playable sims learn it without going to three lakes and getting the asp. points I will be slightly miffed. I have Pescado's hack in, so hopefully it won't happen. ;)
The hack only stops the gestures from one vacation area spreading to another vacation area (to avoid having all your Threelakers bowing or your Asians chilling out). It does not stop any gesture spreading through your home hood or uni.
I started a bit of an experiment - I had one playable teach one townie the chest pound gesture. I'm waiting to see how fast it spreads. I know I heard an autonomous chest pound going on outside the field of vision when a playable was on a comm lot the other day, so it's definitely on the move. Have not had anyone learn the slap dance yet, so I'm safe there for the moment.

I have Pescado's antivacation hack in my game, but it does not stop tourist from trying the wrong gestures in different holiday locations, i. e. they bow on Twikkii island, chest pound in Takemizu village etc.
My impression is that it is only (or mainly) the tourists, who haven't learned these gestures yet (and therefore can not teach them to others). The hack seems to effectively stop the dances and the sea shanties though. So, I have a number of tourists looking foolish trying some local gestures they have not learned and that is okay with me. Other sims look at them, shrug and shake their heads. It makes sense.
Tai-Chi (even if only performed in Takemizu village) is getting a bit much. First none of the locals did Tai-Chi, but once it starts everyone does it all the time. It would be alright if they did not want to do it EVERYWHERE, blocking stairs and the access to rooms or objects.
Generally I believe that it has become a Maxis/EA tradition to add some good ideas/objects and then advertise them so much to the sims that they become a nuisance. Pillow fights, water balloon fights, children dancing on toes, musical instruments and the bubble blower (the last one I regret the most, because I have not found a hack yet that reduces the advertising of the bubble blower. Otherwise all my sims would have a water pipe in the house). Fine tuning is not their strength.

That's why I want a hack that stops the madness completely. I first thought it would be funny having sims acting like idiot tourists, but it gets old very fast.

I know, but they don't work, neither with antivacationaction nor without. I really, really hope that Monique comes out with a gesture-related hack. I never had problems with one of her anti-autonomy hacks.
