This mod works for all my chairs except one custom chair that I downloaded, My sims would just stand instead of using the chair nearby. is there a way for me to fix this?

Great mod! Now we can have realistic seating arrangements.

I did find one issue: when all Sims in a household die, normally Grimmy will take the last one's soul and leave promptly. With this mod in, as soon as the last Sim was gone, he immediately headed for the TV and watched it for days. He never left, and those hula zombies just kept hula-ing... I pulled this mod, and he disappeared normally. I didn't test it further to see if it's a conflict with another hack or my game setup. All Sims in a household dying doesn't happen often, so I'll just remember to pull this mod whenever I want to kill everybody.

This mod might have fixed my wedding parties, before even if I had chairs for everyone in front of the wedding arch most of the guests watched standing. Now for the first time I saw everyone sitting down, I even had to add more chairs XD

I just re-downloaded this mod (after a massive, non-Sims-related computer problem that involved having to start from scratch with my CC *sob, sniffle*) and I can say from experience that once I tried it I'd never go back to not having it in my game (like so many of your mods, MogHughson! They're great!) It's just crazy that the game wasn't set up this way from the beginning. I actually am kind of glad it wasn't a 'perfect' game to start with, because so many talented modders stepped up to the plate and have created such great stuff for all of us. Cheers to you, Mog! You're one of the very best.

I know Mog hasn't been around for some time, so this might get nowhere. I'm having a bizarre problem: My Sims hate watching TV from 3-seat sofas. (With a burning passion.) if instructed to sit on one then told to watch TV, they'll get up to move to a 2-seater. If I throw the 2-seater out into the yard first, they'll instead get up and move to one of the dining room chairs (which are not only facing away from the TV, but also clear behind it, and further away from it than the sofa...) I can only get them to use a 3-seater if it's absolutely the only TV seating available (I.E. throwing all other seating in the room into the yard).

If I remove the mod, they'll sit and stay just fine in the current, Maxis-code-compatible layout. Multiple 2-seaters are no problem either. No conflicts that I know of. I think the only other mods I use that affect routing or seating are:Removing any of these has no effect (other than making my Sims reset). Not being familiar with routing at all I wouldn't know where to start looking for the problem. I hate to do without this, since corner-of-room TV areas are nicer looking and more compact. I'd just like to know if anyone knows of a fix, or else this is a third, nastier quirk to keep in mind.

Now I understand why my mod doesn't work. I use "Si'Down with your drink". I was using "SitFloorToWatchTV.package' to watch them sitting somewhere.
Thank you!

Hmmmm this mod doesn't seem to be working for me. My sims still stand up in front of the sofa to watch TV, and it's only 4 squares away.
