With the combination of Food Eats You, macrotastics and noadhd in the game, whenever my test sim tries to autonomously get food he is frozen with a "needs food badly!" icon and the game slows to a stuttering crawl. When either FEY or noadhd is removed, everything works as intended. I have AL and the latest versions of the hacks.
Sorry, this is not being reproduced in my game. Both hacks loaded and working to spec. The problem is potentially due to tight pants.
Possible remedies you might try:
1) Remove all hacks from your Downloads and reload the AL director's cut with no non-awesome hacks and test, OR
2) Remove non-awesome hacks and test.
If problem persists, you may have a CC object or bad mesh that is causing this. Do not play with hacks loaded that are not cleared for AL by their creator. Even then, they may conflict with one or more awesome hacks, which may give you a "false positive" (such as one of the awesome hacks is not working correctly).
One reason this may happen is that you may have over-written your old hacks with the new AL hacks. This may leave a residual, obsolete hack in your downloads. When loading a new EP, delete ALL previous hacks, and load only new hacks cleared for that EP.
