Hmm, now I'm a mite confused -- are you saying that this overrides the money order object? So that if I set this to allow playables, any playables will show up regardless of if they have the MO in the inventory or not? Or will that still controll which playables this one allows?
The installation of this new shiny supercedes all the previous rules of the standard way: Those rules still apply if this object is not present, but once this object is installed, all that goes out the window. What happens if you have No Playables in with this on the lot is that if the presence of this controller is detected, No Playables will shut off ALL of the normal Community Lot Populator's choices entirely, preventing those sims from being spawned. Without it, the two will fight, the Customer Selector attempting to swat any attempts by the Maxis populator to generate customers and substitute its own. It can handle doing this, but depending on your system, the outcome of the titanic battle being waged in the background may slow down your game slightly.

Ah, gotcha. So it's best to keep both this and noplayables in, and just use this on lots like a restaurant or bar where I want everyone to mix and mingle.

Yes, and you can even design bars for specific crowds of people. Although thus far there are no ways of classifying sims as bikers or not-bikers, so you can't make a bar frequented by bikers, you CAN designate gay bars, singles bars, etc.

Very cool - thank you!

Well, even with all the recommended hacks installed, there's still a notable lag whenever a new customer shows up. Nothing that cripples gameplay, but it gets a bit annoying at a level 10 business. Methinks 1GB of RAM and an o/c-ed Northwood @ 2.6GHz is not enough for the game anymore...
