"Download a bot" button
« on: December 17, 2007, 01:22:17 PM »
Sometimes I experience a total population wipeout and have to wait until something comes from internet to populate my sim. I think the way IM teleporter is set up is that it d/l some bots in exchange for bots leaving the sim, so that if your sim is almost empty it takes forever for teleporter to bring new bots into your sim. Can we have a button, that would allow one to "download a bot from internet" manually?

Well I'd like it too, it is costing ages before a surviving bot comes in a empty sim.
Oh my god, who the hell cares.

I will add this.  It will be a "sync now" kind of thing, which will simply accelerate the normal sync cycle, so pop files will also get donwloaded, cached bots uploaded, etc.
