It is the remote control car in the catalogue under electronics/games, as far as I know. All the robots you can make in OFB seem to have NPC status as well, and I would imagine it is because they have their own animations, are programmed to do specific functions, and are controllable by sims. Just a guess.

Ugh!  Did you understand what I said?  I said in the mail box, there is a make townies option that doesn't use the tree.  It makes them in a full batch!  Works for me.

I did understand what you said...  if it works for you, you are very lucky.  Nec and I spent ages on this - once you have OFB, the generate townies option is screwed.  It sorta works if you have no subhoods, but it is appearing much better to use other methods.

Here are the specific results of the tests we did, and workarounds. http://www.moreawesomethanyou.net/smf/index.php?topic=4031.msg114293#msg114293

Sure, why not. That is a good idea, Ness. The topic seems to be popping up enough to warrant one. Hopefully it will get sticky status to prevent 10,000 threads asking the same question I will do it sometime tonight or tomorrow probably.
