High Chair issues...finally figured out a fix
I dunno about everyone else...but in my game High Chairs have been an endless headache ever since toddlers were added.
As soon as one of my sims put a toddler in the highchair and turns to grab a plate of food from a cooked meal for them...the toddler does the let me out motion and they stop what they are doing to take the toddler out. I've tried juggling back and forth between toddler and adult to keep autonomy from kicking in, canceling actions...etc. Doesn't work well, just a total headache. There are mods to supposedly fix it...but they don't work for me.
Anywho...I finally cracked the nut! Using MCCC's MC tuner autonomy tuning functions, I turned off the autonomous "Pick Up" action on sims and it seems to have totally stopped the problems. Of course...it also stops the toddler from asking to be picked up for any other reason...Never really see that happen other than when in the high chair though, so whatever. When they ask for other kinds of help, that has it's own interactions.
Now I just have to make sure I don't forget the little tykes in the high chair and make sure there's no issues with inactive toddlers on community lots where I've put highchairs (never see anyone use them other than active sims though as far as I can recall).
Just thought I'd share this for any other simmers who want to use High Chairs and find them a real headache. It's the 2nd "Pickup" action when clicking a sim and selecting the "Autonomy Scan" option when Scumbumbo autonomy scanning is on.
