Hi there! Not a mod, but I might be able to clear up some things about the movement system.

Basically, they only come into play during the NightShift (though if you have your character move to a different location during a single shift in the day, people tend to use them there too). Your character starts out in whatever room they're assigned, and you follow the map hallway by hallway, posting a comment to the appropriate post for said hallway, or you make the post if the hallway isn't already posted, but it's perfectly fine to let others post hallways on your first few nights to get the hang of it. We have a community that lists all of the hallways and links to their corresponding posts per night, so it's not too hard to find the correct post.

I'll use one of my characters as an example. Guybrush is in room M85, so I found the correct hallway (M81-90) and posted a comment for him to start. Then I went to the next hallway according to the first floor map (in this case, M-C Block Hallway) and made a comment there, as he's walking from one place to the next, like a board game. Then I went back to the first room and linked them together with another comment, which I put as a reply to the first one where he was just leaving his room.

You just repeat the process until you get to where you need to go. It's kind of tricky at first, but it's easy once you get the hang of it, and it makes sense as your character is logically traveling from one location to another and would see various sights along the way. After your character has been around for a while, you can generally skip some of the first few hallways to speed things up.

I hope that didn't make you more confused! Let me know if there are any more questions, and I'll do my best to answer them.
