Business Controller: Business Runs YOU!
SimDebster:
When putting my Sims in Salesperson or Restock mode, the controller keeps sending them to the bathroom when their bladders are only half full (or empty depending on how you look at it). Is anyone else experiencing this? It is a bit annoying because they are needed to tend to customers and they are not anywhere near bladder failure. I do not recall having this happen in previous releases before Pets.
Edit: Also wanted to add that they are sent to eat when the hunger bar is only 1/3 full. It seems that they could wait a little longer before eating. It is hard to keep the business moving when your Sim is the only employee in a fledgling business because they decide that they want to go eat.

Aggressive bladder action has always been part of the tuning due to the serious penalties for ignoring it, but I'll try to move the check a bit so it will check for tasks first.

They will "scavenge" any food left available, so if some customer has left a half-finished plate, it will get pillaged immediately (as it will go bad if left unattended).

There's one thing on BRY I'm not clear about -- the 'assign unmanned owner' menu. I have a sim with 3 businesses, and he has at least one employee in each of them. I click on this, set him to be the salesman, but nothing happens. Is this only for lots where there aren't any employees?
Magicmoon:
The way it is working in my game is that you assign a job to the owner for the owner to do when you have stopped controlling him/her.
I assign unmanned owner to sales. Then I tell him to macro clean, eat a sandwich, use the bathroom, and restock the one expensive item that just sold. After issuing these commands, I personally leave my computer and go into my kitchen for a sandwich. When I come back, the owner has finished his list of tasks and is now happily making sales pitches to the customers.
I play with free will on. I'm not sure how much time has to pass from the time you issue your last order and the time they let the controller take over.
jsalemi:
Hmm, I guess I haven't waited long enough, then. The one shop I gave it a serious try, the owner spent an hour just walking around and talking to the customers, rather than doing any sales, I finally gave up and told him to be the salesman.
