Business Controller: Business Runs YOU!

Gwill:
Stuck chairs happened for me before, during and after noassignmentlitter.
It's definitely caused by dormied autonomously doiing assignments, but not by the hack.

SimDebster:
It was a year ago that it happened to me.  I guess it was just a huge coincidence then.  It is just that I did not have the problem of stuck chairs before installing the hack, and have not had it happen since I uninstalled the hack.  It could also be the permutation of hacks that I was using vs. the hacks you are using now.  It could even be the use of non-awesome hacks in combination with that hack.  I really could not say since it was so long ago.  I do always run the hack conflict utility every time that I install new hacks, so I know that it was not a conflict.  Anyway, I use the hack that prevents the dormies from creating another assignment if one exists (cannot remember the name off the top of my head), along with the Grand Trianon desks which seem to make sims want to put assignments on them, and it all works out pretty well.

Is there a possibility to either exclude some employees from the influence of BRY or to take actions other than selling, restocking etc. into account? I've tried to run sort of a pay-to-stay coffeeshop (where visitors can help themselves from the buffet and have some coffee, but can buy cake too), but I cannot assign an employee to the coffee bar (the action keeps dropping out of the queue), and another employee assigned to cleaning doesn't do anything besides kicking flamingos ^^.

Am I missing something or do I really have to abandon BRY for this particular business :( ?

P.S. Yeah, necromancy :P

How do you know what's going on in an employee's queue, anyway? You should just be able to assign him to "Barista", and he should do his thing. Barista-being is a static, non-assisted job, and BRY only has an influence on that employee when he stops working from low motives. The flamingo kicking is how fun is raised to keep motives at a worky level. What things are not actually being cleaned?

Sorry, I should have made this clearer: I'm talking about the owner's queue here - when I try to assign a barista, I click on the coffee bar, choose an employee's name, the icon appears in the owner's queue for a split second, then vanishes. There's no reaction from the employee in question, and his/her name stays in the "assign..." menue. S/he just acts as if s/he weren't assigned to anything (which obviously is the case).

Yes, I'm aware of the fun raising aspect, I've been using BRY for all my other businesses for a while now. The employee fails to clear the empty plates (haven't tried it out long enough to see if she would clean the toilets) - the owner can clear them without problems (using macro... clean here).
