i don't mind being push when a stampede of mossms want to say hello, but i do know there is a rule in my convent, no moving items that aren't phantom, can mossms become that way?

I've noticed a lot of activity around my land from the sales folks and other people of the estate i rent from ^^ they've forced me to freeze all animals that wasn't, and WHEN they find the mossms they might be stuck in inventory ;.;

since 1 just accidently pushed me out of the way in saying HI!
and they interact with anyone. I really have to ask :)

There is no option to make them phantom, no. I've added that to the list of things people want. The ability to make mossms not move at all is also on that list.

I was also wondering about that. I didn't know if they were not phantom because of something to do with the pathfinding.

Mossms move using a new kind of movement that most people don't know about yet: Keyframed Motion. It's fairly new, and I'm pretty certain that no other breedable uses this kind of movement. We had a competitive advantage because we didn't start on our product until August 2012.

In the past, the only kind of movement was either non-physical (choppy) or physical. Physical movement can be very hard on a sim, in large part because of collisions. Making something phantom stops all collisions, but these don't use physical movement. The short version is, it doesn't hurt anything for them to be physical.

Making things phantom makes them less real. Walking right through them as if they're ghosts takes away from what they offer, rather than adding to it.

But having said all that, I understand you want it, and it's on our list.

What do you mean? Your mossms are misbehaving and so you need to separate them from you?

lol no :) i <3 as they are :D i just going to set them so the estate people can't get to them (i still can lol)

actually that keyframed motion thing is cool :D

if they bother me about it, i can try to explain what you did cause i do dislike phantom for the reason you said.
