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…
littlelittlesimmies said: Are the 2 customers townies or NPCs ? If yes, Are they the only townies/NPCs in your neighborhood ? In that case you probably have a mod that don’t allow playables to be customers. I had one like this. It required the MoneyOrder placed somewhere in the lot to allow playables as customers.
No, they are playables. I have roughly 15 Sims in that neighborhood (including NPCs, 8 are playables). It was fine the first time I played a owned community lot, but ever since, only the two of them have shown up (including home businesses- walk-by’s and unowned community lot visitors are fine, though).
EDIT: Other Sims seem to be incapable of buying stuff there. WTH?!
EDIT 2: And now it seems like even the customers capable of buying won’t buy stuff? What’s going on here?
Marriage equality for same-sex couples finally is a thing in Germany. No more civil partnerships, no more being barred from adopting children.
What a great ending for pride month ❤💛💚💙💜
npc sim: hey i haven’t heard from you in a while like…are we still friends :///
me: you robbed me
As you all know, in-game counters have two additional decorative slots on the back. Sadly, you could place there only small deco objects. Well, that has been fixed!
From now, you should be able to place on those slots any object that can be placed on the end tables.
It does NOT add any new slots to the Maxis counters. But you’ll be able to place there some objects, that previously weren’t allowed by the game 🙂
This should work with all Maxis counters shipped with all EPs and SPs (residential and commercial counters and islands from the base game, University, Nightlife, Open for Business, Pets, Seasons, H&M, Kitchen&Bath – the other packs don’t contain any counter).
Press the M key to cycle through the slots. For some objects you may need to use ‘moveobjects on’.
This is just a replacement for the SlotFile(SLOT). It changes nothing else and will work with texture replacements.
I have all EPs and SPs and want everything in one file:DOWNLOAD
I don’t have the ultimate collection and need files separated by EP/SP:DOWNLOAD
Install instruction:
These just go in your Downloads folder (or subfolder).
I am currently playing an apartment. Their neighbours have a problem: neither Kevin nor Jane can enter their apartment, it seems. The door is supposed to be white. When I played them, Castor and Ashley next door had the same problem (well, Castor had), but as Ashley was still inside the house I was able to fix it by “Visit them” (Castor was then able to enter the flat).
