Customer Selector v2: Hobbsee STILL has a scrawny pencil neck!
Assmitten:
So, I am new to the residential lot business scam, and I was wondering about the selector. I have been fooling with the "business type" setting and I can't figure out what the best setting is. Do the settings make a particular feature of the lot more attactive?
I have a "nightclub" type place with a ticket machine. They serve plates of food all day, coffee during the day, and there is an open bar at night. There is also a stage with musicians, sometimes. Should I leave the setting on general, or would it make any sense to change it throughout the day?
ETA: Excellent! Thanks!

General means that the motives of incoming sims are not adjusted from the Maxis settings. More specific settings cater the settings of incoming sims to favor the motives that would be addressed by that business. For instance, setting it to "Restaurant" will make sure everyone arrives hungry...because this is a restaurant and there would be no point to visiting at all, otherwise. They similarly will not show up looking for things that your business is NOT intended to provide, so they don't show up and complain about the lack of fun or pee on your floor.

Hmm, I guess necromancy is ok if it's for a legit question in a mod thread?
...anyway. Curious about the new "Hobby" options. I assume Have = only sims with some enthusiasm in the hobby will turn up, and Don't Have = only sims without? Or does it refer to the One True Hobby?
...and why only 2 options? What if I don't care if they have or don't have a certain interest?
...or am I completely off the mark?
J. M. Pescado:
That option is still under destruction. It was updated recently, so you may want to grab the latest. As for how it works, currently, setting any "Have" option means your lot is a hobby-based lot, and only sims that "Have" a hobby, defined by either it being their OTH, or they have a hobby membership to it, will show up to the lot. If you set multiple "Haves", they function as an OR, so if you set "Games" and "Fitness" to "have", a sim that has games OR fitness will be valid, and sims that have neither will not be. There is no "Not" version because it makes no logical sense to exclude a sim for having a hobby, merely for not having it.
AnnaM:
Ah-ha! Thanks for the explanation, much clearer now.
I've also installed the newest version now (dated 9 Apr). It's still got the two option "Have" and "Have not" for each hobby. Since it's under destruction, maybe you could consider changing the label "Have not" to something less confusing, like "Irrelevant". Or maybe you just enjoy confusing the peasants, which is of course your prerogative ;D
