Title: Jump Bugs (since Seasons install)
Post by: starrling on 2007 March 18, 20:48:39
Is it coinky-dinky or is it possible that a Maxis EA object is causing a jump bug?  I placed the Hole-y Pots Cascading Waterfall on my lot.  Suddenly, I had jump bugs like crazy, and my Sims would just stand around doing nothing.  Turned on "auto power-idle-whatsis" in Macrotastics and it still didn't help.  Ran in debug and the first item on the log was the hole-y pots thingy.  Removed said thingy and now all is running smoothly.  (On a side-note, is it intentional that when you turn off auto-power-idle-whatsis in Macrotastics that a Sim remains in that mode, even if you remove the icon from his queue?).

Anyway, any awesome folk out there today that can clue me in (or just poke me with a stick and laugh?)?

For me it was a CAS backdrop made buyable by Targa at MST2 that caused the Holey Pots jump/standstill problem (it also happened when I placed the Seasons pond water spray).  Don't know if other CC would cause it.

It just takes a while sometimes for the sim to get a notion to do something on its own. :)

The low pulse rate of Free Will autonomy, which generally averages around 10-15 minutes before making a decision, becomes readily apparent when you no longer witness Power Idle's snappy, decisive behavior.

Ok, thanks for the info.  And I reported that crappy fountain at the sheep site, not that they'll give a shit or do anything about it but oh well.
