Business Controller: Business Runs YOU!
coyanshades:
Ok, I finally just dumped out every hack I had except stuff from DC, and MATY, well, I'm guessing that had allot to do with my issues, although there where no hack conflicts, I'm guessing there was some arguing going on and confusing my poor sims, and their workers... as I am now getting better results from the janitor, actually cleaning, and even picking up plates.
After reading a few pages in this thread, I also found a few tips that helped with other problems I was having.
See, I took out the trash bin for the lot, and had only one trash can, and multiple compost bins, as I was using compost to fertilize the garden plots, I do this at my home lot also, and everyone drops everything to the trash, then takes it to the compost bins, and thus, I get compost. But to make it effective, you need to also not have a dishwasher, well, that was proving disastrous as all the cups from the espresso machine where going to the floor, and forgotten about, well, I put back the trash bin, took out the compost bins, added a dishwasher, and boom, plates go away... My janitor is actually cleaning up real good now.
Ok, 2 more minor issues,
On the matter of food, and eating. I have the kitchen set up(employees/owner/s only) I have a stove, fridge, counters, and dishwasher. Some of my employees do not have a cooking skill at all, will they still cook for themselves? or will they recruit someone that can/will? Or do I need to set something else for them to get food? I'm not trying to be rude, But Ive not had much luck finding any good setup plans for all of this awesomeness.. so I'm going by trial and error...
Next, regarding the BUY,
The set up on this is a little confusing to me, I'm not sure why, it all looks simple.
My bathrooms are set up like this.
Mens/Womens separate bathrooms, a door between them so the janitor has access to both, As they are only for employees/lot owners, I have the TP set to reject visitors. I have the stalls right next to each other in each bathroom, and in each bathroom the config for one matches the other one, But since the mens/womens stalls are far enough apart the TP Rolls do not get the config from the other bathroom, which is good. Now, I set to reject men from womens, and women from the mens rooms, But I'm seeing that lot owners will only use one stall, in the womans bathroom, it doesn't matter if they are men or not, they still use the womans room, now they go through the connecting door, but enter and exit through their gender based doors. So, I'm wondering is there a more detailed setup guide for it some ware? Its working better now than it was, But I'm still trying to get it just right.
Caffinating is a cool idea for energy, As I really would like to not use the PYP, for anyone, But they wont go get any until their energy is below 1/4 or less, is that a feature? can it be adjusted up a bit maybe? I'm still having employees going orange to red.
Anyway, I love this product, and this site for all the help it actually gives people.. Myself included..
Great job...

If the owner, manager or employees carry sacklunch in inventory, the employees will consume those. OFB-macrotastics is capable of finding a pretty wide range of cookables, but if the employee simply cannot prepare ANY food at all, and thus there is nothing to eat (or any other unresolveable motive condition arises which prevents work), Macro/BRY falls back on the dismiss/resummon to restore the employee to working condition. If your employee starts to leave the lot as a result, this is what is happening. Just ignore it and let it do its thing. It is smarter than you.

I have noticed that the business owners, if able to enter the room at all by any means, seem to ignore the gendering settings. I have not figured out WHY, but I have deemed the behavior harmless and given it a lower priority for investigation, since they never get stuck doing it. They seem to just be picking the closest bathroom by proximity search, and hey, it works.

hehe, gee thanks... :)
Ok, i agree with the owner thing, so im off to check some of the other things I just got downloaded. You have much more available that I had originally seen, I just got your DC, and will now see what all the goodies are about..
MaximilianPS:
i've notice that on some shops, the visitor are always the same...
on a specific case, i've made an electronic shop, that is controlled by a townie, on that shop, there are always just 2 persons and always the same, did you have the same behavior ?
J. M. Pescado:
Sameness of visitation can be caused by sadorandom loading (EAxis), manually limiting your clientele to be so specific that those are the only two that fit (combo of noplayables or Customer Selector), or underpopulation in your neighborhood. If the shop is "controlled by a townie", then nobody owns it and BRY and Customer Selector do nothing, so blame EAxis.
