Title: NL issue with pay-at-box
Post by: Piffle on 2005 September 21, 08:50:46
Pay-at-box does still work... except that once the bill has been paid (but before the mailman comes to pick it up) you can still click on the mailbox and have the option to get mail.  Which makes you pay again.  This wouldn't be that big of a deal except that Sims keep wanting to autonomously get the mail.  Which makes you pay again.  My sims paid the same bill three times in a single day.

Pay at the box is very much on the broken list. It is not known whether it will be fixable now that mail comes in varieties that have to actually be sorted. Do not attempt to use it until it has been fixed, unless you want your game to explode in a Big Fiery Ball That Is Visible From Space.

Already removed.  I just didn't notice it on Boris' list, so thought I'd mention.

Before I had pay-at-box I used move_objects to place a small table right on 'top' of the mailbox - it actually becomes a part of the post the box is on.  At least this way Sims aren't wandering around looking for a surface to place the bill on before they pay it!  I guess I'll have to go back to this method for now.

Shame... I loved useful hacks like that... it speeded up time instead of playing hide and seek the bills before they explode because my sims like to automatically bring in the mail :)
