Out of Stock signs misplaced

I have used "Move Objects On" to place multiple items on a display counter AND/OR the items placed for sale were custom items.
That was my theory at one point, but i've never used move objects to place things on a shelf... i figured if i had to cheat to get the object on the shelf then the sim would need to cheat to restock it...

well if you want to have the store available for your other sims to visit and aren't worried about making money from it and don't care about running/playing it yourself, then you could put the owner in the business career (or another one if you want) and never go to the business Lot ever again (unless you really want to).
That way your sim earns money and goes to work and you never have to worry about restocking but your other sims still get to buy stuff from the store.
I like that idea... i'm not to worried about the sim making money... but i want other sims to be able to buy stuff... I find it a pain to decorate a sims residence beyond the neccesities... couch, chair, stove, fridge, etc... so if playables can go to a lot and buy stuff on thier own that would make me happy... then the next time i play them i check out thier inventory and see what they got and use that stuff to decorate the place and if they buy something stupid i can get rid of it without the sim losing money... things don't depreciate when it's in the sim's inventory, right?
I guess that would require making a manager... how do i do that, never had one before? If i create a manager then the employees will stay on the lot?
I did play an almost totally maxis lot today and still had the same problems... there was no craft stations or craft objects... used maxis shevles, maxis items, and still had signs showing up at the corner... happened with microwaves, toaster oven, jade plant, coffee maker... using maxis shelf, pedestals and tray... Stupid Maxis >:(

Ok, off the top of my head.
You won't need employees, but they will help. When another sim visits the lot, your owner will wander around cleaning and restocking. When sims line up at the cash register, the owner will eventually wander over to check them out.
Some sims will become impatient and throw their bags down. If your playable sim waits in line too long, it will throw its bags down EVEN THOUGH you are controlling that sim and don't want it to throw its bags down.
If you decide to hire employees, it should help. You won't be playing the lot so you won't ever actually have to pay them, except for that first day when you hire them and assign tasks.
Recommended - put Merola's mind control mirror on the lot. Then you can control the owner and employees, if needed, and direct them to the cash register.
An important note: You will have to visit the lot for sims to buy things, obviously. The sim you control will not autonomously buy things. Other sims will, and this should accomplish what you want.
If you want your controlled sim to buy something, move fast. Another sim may buy it first. Then you will have to wait for the owner to restock it.

There's an antibagthrow hack in JM's DC

I would think that setting up and saving the data for BRY would also help with making sure the owner and employees are doing their jobs when you visit. I should do this some time, use playables I'm not actually interested in playing....

Do i need to leave the owner at the business then? They'll never age then, and wouldn't that be the same as them becoming an unplayable sim?

But if there's more than 1 cash register then i'd need more than just the owner there? Can't an employee restock or is the restocking not saved when the playable leaves the lot?

I've heard not to use that so i use dolphins hack.. does the same thing though.
I don't use BRY got other hacks to accomplish most of what it does...
Thanks for the help nocomment
