Out of Stock signs misplaced
Scratch:
The hood i've been working on for the past few months finally has enough sims for a few to own some businesses.. Today i put together a florist shop with a music shop next door on the same lot.
I've got enough hacks and mods to make running businesses fairly easy (for me), I totally forgot about the problem with misplaced Out of Stock signs until i played this lot. I read a few threads here about the problem, there seems to be a few theories about what causes it (stupid Maxis, CC, Custom shelves, Gamma Rays, Full moons, etc), has a definitive cause ever been found?
I wandered over to MTS2 and got the fix from Numenor, didn't help and i already had it in my DL folder. I've got the object nuker from JMP and that gets rid of the ones at the edge of the lot. I know the debugger has an option to nuke all Restock signs but then i'd forget what was on the shelf.
I couldn't find any other info about the problem other than "it's a problem". I read in Numenors thread that the patch for OFB was supposed to fix the problem. (yeah sure, thanks Maxis ::))
I've got all EP's and SP's except seasons, all patched. Any ideas what can fix this problem? Am I missing as fix somewhere? Did I just not search enough? Feel free to poke and laugh if I deserve it... ;D

Not that this helps much, but I've had far more problems selling crafted items than I have selling items from the Buy catalogue. I got so fed up with the damned buggy restock signs that I stopped using crafted items altogether, and now only run salons and retail shops. I still get the occasional errant sign, but it's nothing like it used to be. I too wish there was a definitive solution to this problem, because it renders half of OFB useless.
Scratch:
Well.. the one florist business is crafted objects and plants from the catalogue... but the other 1/2 of the lot is a music store that sells instruments and some electronics from the catalogue.... so no crafted objects in that store and i'm noticing all of the misplaced signs so far are not crafted objects... but objects from the catalogue....
Was there a gamma ray burst today??
This one feature almost makes OFB useless... Why would Maxis/EA leave such an obvious bug not fixed... I don't want to run just restaurants and use the ticket machine on all the business lots just to make money.
"Yes Sir, Just come in and take what you want, as long as you pay $100 an hour while you're here... HEY!! you weren't here long enough to pay for that stereo" Stupid Maxis/EA
ETA: actually, you've given me an idea... I'll make a business tomorrow that only sells maxis items from the catalogue without any craft objects on the lot and see what happens...
Sagana:
I haven't run any controlled experiments, but I have noticed I have more problems if I'm using non-Maxis shelves and/or using moveobjects on to get some stuff to place.
Also, along with the crafted items problem - I was selling honey from a bee hive (obviously hacked thingie) that works like a crafted item. It was working fine until I ran out of honey in inventory and then next time I went to look the signs were out by the curb across the street and the honey wasn't going into inventory properly anymore. So I'm wondering if running out makes it worse.
