Title: Macrotastics + Ninja Teleport = Borkination
Post by: Syera on 2009 January 31, 01:46:22
If a Sim has the ninja teleport ability, Macrotastics will use it to get the Sim to go where it needs to go.  However, it also seems to cause problems: every time Macrotastics causes one of my Sims to teleport, that will no longer be able to traverse uneven terrain - instead, it stands around and complains that something is in its way.

So far I've found that deleting and restoring the Sim fixes the problem - at least, until Macrotastics grabs the Sim again.

I really like the ninja teleportation ability, I really like Macrotastics, and I really like that Macrotastics makes use of the ninja teleportation ability.  However, I'm really not enjoying my Sims suddenly finding themselves unable to walk across their own back yards.

I've run the Hack Conflict Detector, and it hasn't found anything relating to teleportation or Macrotastics.

This isn't a macrotastics problem.  This is a known problem with the BV teleport, and I've seen reports that it happens in unhacked games.

Interesting.  I never have any trouble when I make them teleport myself; only when Macrotastics or Bathroom Uses You makes them teleport.

If you do a search here on MATY (likely keywords are probably "uneven terrain" or "uneven ground" and "teleport") you'll find reports of this problem from not long after BV's release, before macrotastics incorporated the teleport function.

The problem is with uneven ground and teleport.  I've had it happen on vacations after manually teleporting my sims, and I tend not to use macrotastics when my sims are on vacation.

Completely flat lots (i.e. not just level edges) will avoid the problem.
