Customer Selector v2: Hobbsee STILL has a scrawny pencil neck!
jsalemi:
Zazau -- do you use Inge's business hours controller sign? I noticed after installing BV that it reset, so it was calling in employees as soon as the business opened. I had to have the owner redo all the settings back to what they were.
Pes, doesn't the customer selector have a ban/allow pets settings? I thought that kept strays away, because I never see them on my lots unless I change the default (which is to ban them, I believe).

The pets allow/ban determines whether or not owners are allowed to bring their animals. No part of the customer selector loop actually conjures animals indepedently, they must be appearing from the Maxian stray-animal launcher.

Huh. Weird. Since BV lets you pick who goes to a lot, that didn't even dawn on me - I never bring the pets along, just the family members who work there. Scary how quickly we forget what wasn't included in previous expansions. I thought the automatic ban on pets was on all pets, and was just about to edit my post to say that a cat showed up at the convenience store to play with a tourist.
The only Inge hacks I have are the custom school related ones, bottomless bottle, and the new sign that makes everyone switch into swimwear for the public beach. None of those objects are on any of my community lot businesses. They only have awesome hack objects. Again, it didn't happen at the convenience store, so I suppose it's possible that I misclicked. But three times in a row? All employees were playables, which is unique to that biz...it's Edmund, his sister and brother, and my fake hubby. All live on different lots. This was while I was visiting as the owner (the only lot I visit as a customer is the convenience store for groceries...everyone's either poor or saving up to give their kids nest eggs). I'm laying off the two townie workers at the convenience store tomorrow night and will see if it repeats with just the playables being employees. If it does, I guess it's 50/50 time.
*puts on her best impression of Gwilly people* Could the ability to ban strays be added to the customer selector? I used to use TJ's Visitor Controller for this, but the Customer Selector does 90% of what it does, and has the added nicety of keeping customers from milling around goosing each other and playing on their handhelds (cute at the beach, but not at the stores where I want them to give me money NOW, Edmund needs the dough to hire a new whore for the brothel).
J. M. Pescado:
The customer controller does not summon strays, so if strays are being summoned, they are not being summoned by anything Awesome. It is either non-Awesome, or Maxis, which has nothing to do with the Customer Selector, so the customer selector cannot reject them since the customer selector isn't the one spawning them.

Ah. I see. Customer Selector = selective spawner. Customer Selector =/= gatekeeper.
The stray summoning is definitely Maxis, as it happened well before I ever had a single hack. Apparently Maxis thinks that it's quite commonplace to have random dogs come off the street and play with people in restaurants.
