Restocking Cleanbots and Hydrobots
cwykes:
I'm still finding that restocking can't distinguish between Cleanbots and Hydrobots. Ajay starts off with 2 of each on display and after restock has 4 of one kind. Best I can tell it takes the oldest one out of the inventory of either category. If the oldest batch were all cleanbots, it takes all cleanbots even though it's supposed to be finding 2 of each. I've had this problem since I got OFB, but I haven't seen anyone else post about it. I'm hoping by now someone else has noticed it. If not - has anyone any idea what's wrong with my game?
I don't see how not having Uni and NL can affect this, but that's the main thing that's unusual about my game. Today's problem was not in the same business or even the same neighbourhood as the earlier problem. Today I have all my hacks and body files in but no other Downloads. Nearly all my hacks are awesome.

This is a core limitation of the game, since the game seems to only be able to identify the inventory object by its "Root" object, namely, the stand.
Therefore, clean/hydrobots, as well as munche/sentry bots, share stands and are indistinguishable.
In practice, this makes little difference since sims don't care what they buy.

At least its not a cwykes problem - stupid game!
Olive Specter definitely wants a cleanbot - those ghosts make a lot of puddles every night. The last thing she needs is a hydrobot especially when it breaks down!
So when a reporter asks to see a hydrobot, is the owner going to say "sorry out of stock" or is he going to show her a cleanbot? Is she going to be happy with a cleanbot?
The pricing seemed to be right most of the time, though I did notice one hydrobot on sale for a cleanbot price. ::)
J. M. Pescado:
I'm pretty sure if a Cleanbot eats a puddle, it will go berserk. As for what the reporter will ask for, I suspect a reporter will ask to see a robot base, and thus be happy with any of them. As for pricing, price more expensive. You won't make money worth crap at defaults anyway.

In theory then, for profit reasons, could the cheap models be made, and sold as the expensive bot? Would the sims know the difference?
