Say “Hi” to Christy Stratton, the last inhabitant of Middleground and a determined home business owner. Despite her rather sporty demeanour, Christy actually loves cooking and opens up a small home business to sell some of her baked goods right away.

Thank you! The lot’s actually by plasticbox, I just made it over. Figured it would fit the neighbourhood quite well.

Thank you! I already feel slightly better after almost collapsing during my oral exam yesterday (I made it! And got a pretty good grade, too, so all’s well!), although I must confess that I took a ton of cold medicine today and feel slightly spaced out. XD

quill-of-thoth said: Two further testing scenarios: Use a hack to increase the number of customers a business lot can handle (my game keeps getting stuck on 3 customers…) or ban your culprits using the visitor controller. It could be that your game is throwing a small fit about conflicting hacks or something has made it think they’re the most “loyal” customers for the owned lots. (Thinking they have 5 stars when they don’t.)

Thank you for your suggestion. I tested both of your ideas, but unfortunately it didn’t work. If I banned Joe and Brandon, the game would send no one else… so weird!

Okay, one of my Middleground sims has just been refunded 200$ from a green energy source. He doesn’t have a green energy source. This is getting ridiculous. How can you fuck up a neighbourhood that bad in one Simday?

Okay, so I’ve got a problem (see here). Basically, whenever one of my Sims opens up their store (weirdly, it doesn’t matter whether it is an owned community lot or home business) the only two customers who would show up are Joe Carr and Brandon Lillard. A lot of friendly people have offered me their advice, but unfortunately, nothing solved the problem.

Things we/I checked:

-Brandon Lillard and Joe Carr are both playables, so it’s not an issue with only NPC showing up

-my game is fully patched and my PC is more than capable to run the game, so Sims lot restrictions shouldn’t be an issue

-loaded up my test hood and opened up a home business. All playables in that hood came by and bought stuff…

-ran HoodCleaner. It removed a bunch of random stuff but didn’t solve the problem

-loaded up all the lots with testingcheatsenabled on. Threw no error. Forcing error with the BatBox didn’t help

-switched out the cash registers on all lots that had cash registers

-sold the lots and re-bought them. Sandy Bruty was added to the Sims that always show up, but other than that, nothing changed

-pulled all mods out of my folder. Apart from a lot of newly generated townies that showed up, Joe Carr was the only playable that ever showed up…

-I DID change their names and genetics in SimPE (as my computer is set on German, SimPE assigns random names to all Sims in SimPE and when I changed their genetics (for those recessive genes and dyed hair) I changed their names just in case- so that Sandy Bruty wouldn’t suddenly be named Makoto Haasen). 

I’m reeeaaally stumped here and even consider declaring that hood doomed and recreate it… But I would really hate if somehow that happened to the new hood too and all my efforts were for nought. Does anyone have another idea what might be wrong?

EDIT: business related hacks I have: businessrunsyou, something called GW_AL_OfBeemployeesschedules_1_AdultElder (should be this one here) and the teen version and moniques buy_faster. That’s it, I think (I also have the visitor controller, but I already checked if it effed something up- doesn’t look like it). Considering that the problem is still present when I load the game without the mods, I doubt they are related to it, but who knows…
