Personal Trainer: bug or feature?
AnnaM:
I've never used the "Be personal trainer" command much before, but now one of my fitness-obsessed Sims has opened a gym business (using a modified 1-2-3 Gym), and the idea was to hire someone to sell entrance tickets, and for herself to work as personal trainer to clients.
The clients use the machines (well, almost only the treadmill, but I can live with that), but the option to be personal trainer only appears very rarely on the machines while a client is using them.
Does anybody know if this is a bug, or otherwise what are the conditions for getting the option? (I thought "higher body skill" as the obvious one: my would-be trainer Sim has max body skill, so she should get it for most townies...). I tried searching the forums but didn't find any hints.
(I have all EPs but no SPs, most of the Director's Cut installed and up to date, and a few select other mods with no mod conflicts at last check.)

Yes, that's when the option appears, almost always, and when the client has lower body skills than your trainer. But I haven't done a gym for FT though.

I'm pretty sure they introduced the "Personal Trainer" feature in University, so the students could make some extra cash.

Except that due to the various docking-related issues, it's actually a counterproductive feature. :P

Didn't realise that - still learning my way round Uni stuff. So I guess the trick is to start with full needs bars and maybe a snapdragon within range, so they keep going for hours. I've used it in a family like that and the trainer maxed out body skill while the other one gained a lot of lower points. It's less boring than studying fitness from the Edumacation bookcase anyway.

I agree. The option doesn't always come up for me when I'm expecting it to. But, like I said I'm still learning Uni and could be missing something blindingly obvious.
