ABGX -- hmm, the A is 'admire', and the G is 'gossip', but I can't figure out what the other two are...

Wait, I just got B -- that would be 'bust a move'?  So X would be friendly hug, maybe?

I Heart Bust a Move. Much better relationship builder than jokes and hugs.

X is "something else". The original loop was just ABG, but Maxis changed it as of NL or OFB, and made so cycles had to be 4-moves instead of 3.  Friendly Hug would fill in for X, but it's a slightly dodgy interaction with much higher prerequisites than the previous 3, so is not reliable. Joke is serviceable also, but it's very low-yield and mildly slow, making it only filler material. There is not currently an obvious uber-move that is either extremely fast or provides high +rel, especially +LTR, with the same rel requirements and acceptance as the old ABG.

It changed as of OFB.  I was playing with just NL for the longest time, and noticed that AutoSoc uses a 4-move cycle.  Before seeing the light that is Macrotastics, I always used ABG by clicky finger, you see.  Under NL, it always niggled at me that AutoSoc was slightly less efficient than I.

Not that I think this is worth the overhead of tweaking the NL version of AutoSoc, but I do note with some satisfaction that some Awesome hacks play less awesome-ly than I.  Kiss

There is no NL-specific version of AutoSoc, all versions of the game use a unified AutoSoc.

I mis-wrote.  I knew there was no NL-specific AutoSoc when I installed OFB, because if there were, I know you would have coded NL-AutoSoc to use a 3-move cycle, and OFB-AutoSoc to use the 4-move.

Having a unified AutoSoc saves maintenance overhead for MATY, but makes the hack slightly less efficient in the NL-only game regime.  It's a small but noticeable difference, only because Awesome hacks are above all, incredibly efficient.  Wink

Is there a hack somewhere that stomps the want to pillow fight? I don't see how it could possibly be replaced by a stupider want.

There's a want like that? I don't think I've ever seen it, but then again my memory sucks. In any case pillow fight is just horrible. Sims are always trying to beat the crap out of each other with pillows. Now if they would play something like "knife tag" or "chainsaw massacre" every now and then...

There is definitely a more stupid want. That is when my Sim pulls out their mobile phone to fulfill the "Call X to Chat" want and has it replaced by the "Buy a Mobile Phone" want because their mobile is no longer in their inventory. I guess that's my fault for sending a single Sim to buy mobiles for the whole household. However, just because I'm stupid doesn't mean my Sims' behaviour isn't.

I hate that want, it takes too much time to fulfill the want and my date meter is ticking!

(Although it is kinda nice when I get "Play With" and "Pillow Fight With" on both of my sims at the same time during a date, that makes the bar go up really fast.)

This can be fixed by each sim having two mobiles instead of one. As an added bonus, it also allows you to queue up multiple phone calls.

I think one of my gizmo wants hacks fixes the "want a phone the moment I have one in hand".

On the other hand, maybe they should want one because having two enables them to queue a call while on the phone.
