Title: Glitch or operator error?
Post by: Myth on 2005 October 28, 18:36:41
On my Legacy house I used moveobjects on to place tiles beyond the front sidewalk and beneath the mailbox.  I honestly can't remember if the problem started before or after the new decor but my mailman comes every few days and gets stuck in a continous loop of putting the mail in the mailbox. 

I deleted the tile beneath the mailbox and a few tiles surrounding but the glitch still happens everytime he comes to the lot.  I've tried using the testingcheats to debug him and with no results from that either I now just accept the fact that I will delete him after he gives me the bills the first time.

I just didn't know if it was due to my attractive but maybe poor design or a bugged NPC.

You deleted by mistake some portals - so it seems.

There is a hack fixing the missing portals by Crammyboy. May be it will help. I uploaded it here for you.

I've used his fix before when my carpools disappeared on another lot.  This glitch isn't vehicle related.  Cars, school buses, deliveries all come and go as it's intended and stop at the proper portals.  It's just the mailman only. 

I will go back and read Crammyboy's description since last time I downloaded it I was using it for a different application.

Thank you for the link.

I had awful problems with the mailperson not collecting mail so bills weren't being paid, but once I installed NL plus the patch, it seems to have gone for good.  I think it's all partly because there are too many sims walking through that section of the walkway - the maid has just arrived etc.  If they'd made the mail delivery at a different time, I think it would have been less buggy!

I had that happen at the Dreamer house and I didn't do anything at the street.  I was at triple speed and the mail person got stuck in a loop and it happens every day that she comes now.  I have the InSIMinator and I delete her every day after she does the cycle once and I always get the mail and coupons.  It is annoying but I think it is"just one of those things" I don't think you did anything wrong it just happened.  In my case,I hadn't even decorated the house yet let alone the yard.
