I got that pack ONLY for the for machine. At first each worked. Outside to create fog in the open usually works. But when placed half into a wall to create fog inside a room, its completely arbitrary on/off.
There are six fog machines in the room. Three on one side, one right, one left and one in now lower left which is the only one spreading fog. Note the double walls where half the machine is placed and because build mode has issues when placing items inside basement walls when the void is behind those.
Yesterday I manually set up the room for light settings. All autolights. Set the color of each fog machine to green and 80%. But today, as you can see, autolight does not turn on the fog, only fog machine light. Manually turning on all lights in the room doesnt turn on the fog either.
The room on the left has a similar setup. Five fog machines in the walls but here additional fog machines are in the two rows in the middle of the room. Because the room is so bright white, I can see a little bit of fog moving on the ground. But when they work properly, the fog is REALLY visible.
I left the room with my sim, turned on each fog machine manually but didnt touch the other lights and the fog machines still dont work at all. Turned them all on. Still no fog.
It gets better. When I click on the fog machines in the white room I can only turn on this room or all lights, not individual fog machines.
And when I turn the room off and on again...
Oh, look. Fog! Well, mostly. The fog machine on the top here wont turn on at all.
What does help sometimes is going into build mode and manually move each fog machine by a few pixels into the room. I want to keep them hidden after all. But thats not a solution. These things are supposed to work regardless where they are. I turn them on, they are supposed to spread fog. Period.
But they dont.
