Sorting inventory changes the hover board setting to "Don't use instead of walking." I've been having all my sims use the hover board exclusively for a while now and have been trying to figure out why the setting keeps changing from "use" to "don't use" in my game. Today I stumbled on reason: MC's Sort Inventory function, (others being traveling and sims being reset).
I don't know if this is a bug or an unavoidable consequence of how inventory is sorted. If it's possible to have the sort inventory work without reseting each sim's use of the hover board I'd certainly appreciate it. I tested out MC v132 and had the same issue.
At the very least I'll be caught off guard less often by my sims suddenly (literally) running around town and spawning bicycles instead of using the hover board.

I've been trying out v133c for a few days but the hover boards still reset on sorting. I thought it was working initially but I must have been wrong, it isn't now. Checked in the homeworld, China, and Oasis Landing. Downloaded and reinstalled v133c again today (and cleared the scriptcache.package) to double check I actually installed the correct file, and get the same results: hover boards reset on sorting.

Unfortunately the latest version still resets the hover board upon sorting in my game. Since you said MC v133c's sorting doesn't reset hover boards in your game I thought maybe some mod I have might be responsible. So I pulled everything except MasterController, cleared the script cache, and tried again, but the hover boards still reset on sorting.
I also noticed that the setting also resets when I manually move the hover board's location in the PI of a sim. So I wondered if that was MC or just the way EA does it. I checked without any mods installed and the same thing happened: the hover board was reset when I manually adjusted it's order in the sim's PI. I take it that means even EA didn't retain the hover board's setting when players manually reorganize PIs. That or my game is acting really weird.
