sims starving

[kmonica]

I know this has been posted already, but are there currently any hacks / solutions for sims starving?? Since FT my sims won't cook / feed themselves.  I tried different fridges but it doesn't work. Occasionally they get "stuff face" interaction but won't autonomously make any food. Any help out there on this??

Thanks a lot!

Do you have any non-autonomy hacks, like Inge's? That was killing off my sims for a while until I clued in.

Food Eats You.

Requires Macrotastics, I believe. Find in your last EP's test folder.

Hi Assmitten and Zazazu,

I have no hacks currently, not even any downloads.

I'll try the Food Eats You. Thanks for that! I didn't even know it existed!

I have no hacks currently, not even any downloads.

That would be why your sims are abysmally stupid.

I'll try the Food Eats You. Thanks for that! I didn't even know it existed!

You will need the actual macrotastics set also, otherwise FEY is just a sign with no controller to push. Accept no Kewian-based substitutes!

Thank you J.M. Will try it tonight. Can't wait to try your other hacks too!! Awesome work and forum! Please keep up a great work!

Also, by the way since I couldn't find it anywhere, do you have a fix for vacation maids? After installing FT the BV maids became useless. No cleaning, no gardening, they just stand there and do nothing. I've got clean install with all EPs and no downloads at this point. I reinstalled everything twice actually but still same problem. Sorry if this is redundant, but I searched the forum and couldn't find much pertaining to this issue. Thanks again!

Again, the answer to this is to download the FFS directors cut of Awesome hacks:

Download the hacks for the latest EP you have.  Also, foodeatsyou is in the Test directory, as noted by Zazazu.  Install the hacks and test your game.  You might just find that a lot of issues suddenly resolve themselves.

Thanks Jolrei. I looked at the FFS hacks, there are TONS of them in there that I really do not need (for the most part I like my game just the way it is). I was just wonder if there is any specific hack / download that takes care of the BV maid issues. Also what do you mean by "directors cut"? Sorry, I am new here and not famialir with all yet :-)

[jolrei]

Considering that Pescado pretty much uses all his hacks, the director's cut is all of them, plus a few extra things.  There is a file called "moreawesomethanyou.zip" or something like that.  That would be the DC.

I usually download the files individually, since I like to read the RTFM and decide which hacks I really want.  Since I have most of them installed anyway, one might wonder why I do that.

I second jolrei; also, if your sims stand still after an EP install, probably it's a hack conflict or something like that. Do you play with debug on? If not, turn it on and see if in addition to stand still also throw errors (instructions and how-to, here).

bumping to whine that I still get this problem with some families, but not others. WTF?
