Thank you for your reply! I checked the VC but nothing came up. It’s still a mystery to me.

Brandon’s an a**. But on the other hand, who in their right mind decides that the 15-second time frame before the taxi arrives is the right moment to make your bed? 

holleyberry said: Wow, this is so weird. I wish I knew how to help you out here. Maybe make a thread at Leefish and see if they can’t help you trouble shoot this?

Thank you! I might try that if I cannot solve it myself. The people over at leefish seem to be very competent in that regard.

taylors-simblr said: On default owned business lots will only allow 3 sims at rank 1 as you gain ranks you’ll get more sims. There’s a mod at sim wardrobe that lets you choose to have more sims. It is really weird that you’re just getting the same sims every time though :/

Oh yeah, I’m aware of that. It’s just so weird that the game is hellbent on giving me the same three sims every time, though (well, at least I get three customers now. on the old save, I would only get Joe and Brandon- and if I played their businesses, I would only get the other one. That was really weird.)

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

twofee said: feel better soon 🙂

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!

Playtesting Middleground

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…

I survived finals week… I could be playing Sims and tackle that weird “only the same customer” glitch… but no, I’ve got a cold from hell: stuffy nose, headache, joint pain and a sore throat- that’s no way to start the summer break…

fuzzyspork said: Try loading the lot with testing cheats enabled and see if there’s a specific error that pops up. If that does nothing, get the bat box, put it on the lot and force errors on all (in world and off). Also try replacing the cash register.

Hm, I tried it with 2 of my 4 owned community lots (trying out the other two ones as I type) and so far, it doesn’t help. The same Sims keep showing up, no matter what I do…

(By the way, huge thanks to all of you! Thank you for trying to help me!)

questforsims said: maybe it’s an issue with how many sims are allowed on one lot? I remember way back in the day you had to use a special cheat to get more than two non-family NPCs to show up on a lot, but I swore that got patched out and the number bumped up to 8 or so. Though also, lower level businesses start out with less customers, so maybe that’s it?

Nah, my game’s patched up-to-date, my PC should be more than capable to handle all the sims and all the unowned community lots have plenty of visitors at once. Yes, but for a level 0/1 level, the maximum number is 3. I only ever get 2 at max. And ALWAYS the same two guys?

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).

questforsims said: is this for sims 2? are they the only customers showing up? Do they buy things or do they just hang around?

Yep. Still only playing Sims 2. They do buy stuff (or do whatever the home business offers), but even when I’m playing one of them, the only other guest to show up (apart from the reporter) is the other “regular costumer”.
