#queueing

They is it just me or has the little icon/option to shift the order of posts around on the queue disappeared for anyone else as well?

There were these four little dots, I could grab the posts and shift them around manually to get them sorted into a specific order. Which I now suddenly can't do anymore.

Which, as someone who likes to queue stuff up and then sort it so its not just a string of similar posts/posts from the same blog(s)/about the same media back-to-back, and who plans ahead for 1-2 (or, let's be real, multiple) weeks ahead, is...a little inconvenient, to say the least.

Do you have that one comic about the character who keeps a bunch of computer viruses in an old computer like pets in an aquarium or terrarium? I think about it a lot but I have no idea where to even start searching to find it again

Viruses so far have been really disappointing on the 'disable the internet' front, and time is running out. When Linux/Mac win in a decade or so the game will be over.

Multiple Cash Registers Fixes

Multiple Cash Registers Fixes

Changes the logic used to decide which till to send a Sim to, for both community lots and owned businesses.

Adds a factor to the distance calculated for tills on a different level to the Sim. (Should no longer see a Sim walk past a till on the same level just because the "nearest" one is directly above them but two floors up!)

Once the nearest till is found, looks at all the tills in the same room and picks the one with least Sims currently queueing. In the event of a tie, pick one at random.

For example, if four Sims try to complete a purchase at the same time in a room with two tills, you should see queueing along the following lines

Sim A picks Till 1 or Till 2 at random (as both have 0 Sims in their queues)

Sim B will pick the other till

Sim C will pick Till 1 or Till 2 at random (as both have 1 Sim in their queues)

Assuming neither Sim A nor Sim B have completed their purchase, Sim D will pick the till that Sim C didn't

Thanks to Jo-TheNinjaKitty, TeaAddict and Nathaniel at Sims Crafters for the idea and testing.

I know I may be attacked for this but regarding the queue discourse: this topic tends to jump out once in a while and my opinion is in the middle. I think is okay to go very early to have the front row but it starts to become annoying when we talk about ppl who have the chance to do 5 gigs or more and are always the ones to arrive first, while there are ppl who maybe have only one occasion to see JOs or Käärijä and I personally would be a little pissed off.

For example, when I went to Helsinki as I literally crossed Europe of course I wanted to be at the front row but for Zagreb if I arrive a little later is okay because I already saw them from the best spot.

Maybe im weird idk, no hate pls.
