No Playable Shoppers
Lion:
I read in the newspaper about a guy writing guide for games, like half-life 2 etc. He would play the game, and get help from the company, but he says sometimes he couldn't get much help if the company people are very busy. hehe....so, maybe Maxis also farmed out the guide writing to some guy/gal? ::) I was stunned how low the pay can sometimes go, it says $3000 to $12000 :-\

Well, then. No wonder it's unreliable.

I'm a tech writer so I do more or less what Prima does (though for far less exciting things :D) and it's hard to get info from developers...they are indeed very very busy, often don't see documentation as important or worth their time reviewing, and often don't keep the writers updated on changes that are made to the software (sometimes even very big changes). So while the mistakes and inaccuracies of the guide annoys the hell out of me, I can sort of understand it. We should all be kicking Maxis, not Prima ;D

Apparently not. Have you looked at that piss poor scrap of paper that they're trying to pass off as a manual that comes with OFB. ::)
Also, it seems that sometimes Maxis themselves is not informed on certain aspects of the game so they pass on their misinformation to Prima. Maxis seemed quite blissfully igornant of the fact that the cheesecake causing twins feature in fact was broken and did not work. Perhaps had they tried actually playing the game. ::)

This is an awesome hack! Since I've had it, I haven't had any sim complain that they didn't have enough money to buy my overpriced stuff. :) I guess townies have unlimited funds?
I assume you must be modifying separate BHAVs than twojeffs visitor adjuster, because (at least so far) the two hacks don't seem to conflict.
