couple of problems on business lots: household visiting & manager skilling

1. owner and son went to the business lot by car. After a couple of days, they phoned home and invited the rest of the household adults over to pass along perks and help out. They came, but were not controllable (they used to be) and wandered around the lot trying to repair their decaying motives.
To make invited household members to be controllable in owned business, you have to invite household members one by one Ye Olde Way, instead of "Invite Household".

several were about "appreciate" paintings
Did you get errors from OFB awards? In FT, diplomas and OFB awards cause error in "View Many". This issue was already addressed in Pescado's ftminifixes.

Update on the family - 2 kids were taken by the social worker!
sitrep - 2 kids taken by social worker and 1 dead adult. Unsalvageable for stupid complicated reasons. :(
I picked a subset of the error logs that I thought weren't from the force errors - obviously wrong. Will try not to do it again. Sorry Pes.... resists the temptation to post another one about attraction.

Thanks I don't remember calling them one by one, guess I must have though. I'll do that next time. It's a good wheeze when it works as the extra adults gain skills, contacts etc. but their motives can decay at the end with no penalty

Looked like daisy painting in the error log, but maybe it was an OFB award.

Is the DJ Booth you're referring to on a Community Lot? If so, do you have Comm Skilling installed?
Nothing earns enthusiasm on a Community Lot without Comm Skilling. I have it installed, and both Dancing and DJing create enthusiasm in my game,, from both DJ booths.
I have had commskilling from way back. If that's adding enthusiasm as well as skilling, I'm out of touch.

I never pay attention to Comfort and Fun in cars, either, though when I was playing an Asylum, my Sim did seem to get a small increase in Comfort and Fun in the car. Since then, it seems to me that Sims are *slightly* more Comfortable and have slightly more Fun if they drive themselves in a nice car instead of the carpool. I don't have FT; I'll be curious to see if installing that breaks it.
I wouldn't normally notice either, but this was a starter business lot with no comfort items. I sent the owner to sit in the car while customers browsed. Clever move I thought, but it didn't work.
Played another sim yesterday & today as I tried to work out what on earth to do about the adopted kids and dead sim.
Is there a fix for this one?
5. problem = gardener truck respawning endlessly. Cause turned out to be a Hobby magazine placed in the road which blocked the car pool. The car pool then blocked the garden truck which kept re-appearing and spawning more gardeners.. Exceedingly stupid and annoying!
Is this one buggy or am I missing something?
6. Influence to garden isn't always on the influence pie menu when I think it should be. A sim with lots of influence points gets the option to influence her friend to garden. She doesn't take it, but tries again soon after. The option isn't there. Some time later, it's come back. I didn't think anything had changed.
another couple of questions....
7. Why am I getting a party option for New Year in summer? Alana already had a roof raising New Year party (in winter).
8. Is there anything buggy about gardening badges now? Alana took ages to earn her bronze badge and soon after she's getting a "talk to plants" option. Lo and behold she has acquired a gold gardening badge and no messages. OK I had the speed turned up, but it looked too fast and the lack of messages was suspicious.

I cannot help with your other issues, but I am getting two "Throw Party" menu options, with "House Party" and "Sports Party" on one, and "New Year's Bash" on the other. I'm about to fire up a clean game to see if it's a hack problem; will report back later.

Jordi already made a fix for this problem.
Throw Party menu fix for UK English players
Quote
Ever since Pets, anyone who has either Holiday Pack or Edition (both the 2005 and 2006) ones, and is playing in UK English (the 24-hour clock), has two "Throw Party" menus on the phones:
One for all standard parties, and one for the "New Year's Bash".
The cause is a typo in the Party Pack override package: EA used the ellipsis character "…" instead of three dots: "...".
Place it into Overrides folder for your latest EP.

Reporting back to say it wasn't a hack conflict and ask for further help... and you already fixed it. Thanks!
That's what I get for ARRing Ikea, I suppose. :D
Edit: Hmm, this is not working. First, I added the fix to the Overrides folder for FT. When that didn't work, I backed up and replaced it in both the TSS and IKEA Overrides folder, since I ARRed them and they installed as UK. Still didn't work. Went back and replaced in all EPs/SPs back to Pets, and still not working. Tried using Pescado's Engrish to change registry to US... still not working.
One thing I noticed: in FT's Overrides folder, there was originally only one file named Overrides.package. There wasn't a HolidayNewYearsPartyPhoneCall_Override.package. The FT Overrides.package file is significantly larger than any of the previous EPs' HolidayNewYearsPartyPhoneCall_Override.package files. Could Jordi's file just be outdated? Or is there something else I have to do, such as move out families and move them back in? I'm about ready to have done with this and just live with it, but in case there is something I'm missing...
