Business Controller: Business Runs YOU!
RainbowTigress:
Club Dante. Malcolm married Marcia, the woman who was working for him at his electronics store. They are running the place together, and his employee at Club Dante, Chase, I have assigned as bartender/janitor. So he stands at the bar most of the time until BRY sends him to tend to his needs. I have Marcia or Malcolm prepare a plate of pork chops in the kitchen, which I have remodeled with a dishwasher, espresso machine, refrigerator, and stove, plus I removed the double archway and replaced it with a door that's locked so only household and employees can enter. I put TP in all the stalls in the bathrooms, configured for the appropriate gender, of course, and put uni showers in there for hygiene needs. Chase is usually very tired and can't hold the espresso cup for very long before he puts it in the dishwasher and gets another cup. I think when his energy gets up a little bit, though, BRY sends him to get a plate of food, but that's when the error pops up. The food isn't bad because there are no greed clouds or flies. Malcolm also has several plates of pork chops in his inventory. I had him make several and I put out a plate for Chase, Malcolm, and Marcia to eat. I use Monique's hack to keep food from spoiling as quickly. The club guests eat from Inge's pay buffet with no problem. Any other info you need?
Ancient Sim:
I noticed today that when one of my business owners was more or less fully in the red on fun, the controller didn't send him to "Kick Stuff", which I would have expected it to. Is it supposed to and if not, can that be programmed in, like it is when they're under the influence of the Skillinator? It doesn't appear to send them to eat either, although that may be because there was only a barbecue on the lot and not a fridge or cooker or anything.
BlueSoup:
What do you have for kicking apparatus on the lot? If you had a flamingo and it was stuck or something, then it wouldn't recognize it.
witch:
My flamingoes often get stuck in OFB. I usually have about 3 lined up, because they seem to get stuck more frequently than before. When the fun is in the red for an employee I try clicking the flamingoes. If you don't get an option to interact with them, you need to replace them. (The flamingo not the employee. ;))
RainbowTigress:
I had this before OFB, and even prior to NL. That's why I quit using flamingos. Forcing an error on them works as well, but I got so tired of having to do this all the time. I once had 12 flamingos on the lawn of a Greek house, and every freaking one of them got stuck eventually. At first I couldn't understand why my students on a College Rampage were in the red on fun and would sit down to write a term paper and stand right back up, go get a book to study, sit down, jump right back up, and on and on. JM suggested rotating the flamingos so they would kick them from the other side, but this is only a temporary fix, and it's hard to know which side they will kick it from anyway. So I quit using flamingos. If you're going to have to keep replacing flamingos at a loss, then it's worth spending a little more on a gnome which doesn't tend to get stuck. If you're worried about them getting stolen, there are things you can do to prevent that, such as SaraMK's no gnome theft mod or placing them so they face a wall or fence.
