Business Controller: Business Runs YOU!
mdrturner:
I've had a magor issue with businesses since I installed OFB (obviously, I wouldn't have had the problem before I installed it now would I? ::) ).
If I am running the business I have no problems with or without BRY (of course with BRY it runs better).
However, it's when I visit a sim owned business that my problems start.
(a) without BRY, all the employees/owners/managers are there but they just act like normal customers, i.e. browsing, going to the toilet, etc.
(b) with a BRY controller (and the relevant other items; BUY, espresso machine, sport of kings), again all the staff are there, but the only person who does anything is the owner. Even then it's only sometimes.
I have one business; a salon, where the owner has gold badges in sales, cashier, cosmetology and restocking and all she'll do is restock. Admittedly I did use the badge juicer for her and on the others I earned them correctly.
Another business is a combination bakery and restaurant. The owner will ring up purchases from the bakery and will greet and seat customers. However that's all he will do.
My first thought is that it's a hack conflict, but I've got quite a few hacks and some of them I can't even remember where I got them.
Anyway, sorry for the long post, and can anyone offer me some advice?
P.S. Is it safe to leave a BRY controller on a business when I sell it?
*Edit*: Dammit, I just found this thread:

That's what I get for not searching. Mind you, there are no answers to be had there either. :'(

over at http://www.simwardrobe.com/
there is an object that can modify the number of sims visiting your business. I've not been able to get it to bring in more than the default number and the hack conflict scanner isn't coming up with any conflicts. Any chance there is a conflict between that and BRY that the scanner isn't finding? Or does it only deal with employees and not customers?
jsalemi:
BRY only deals with owners and employees -- doesn't affect customers one way or the other. I've had no problems with Paladin's customer adjuster, but it will cause lag problems if your computer can't keep up with the number of sims on the lot. More often than not, I use it to reduce the number of customers, rather than increase them. :)
Zaphod:
I've had 30 or so sims at a house party using boolprops before, so it shouldn't be a problem. Must be some other conflict I guess. I'll try working hacks in and out and figure it out.

Sims who are not sufficiently Active to race across to lot to a new destination will not be drafted into performing secondary tasks, because it may take them hours to get there.
