For my 100k sims, it's Snapdragons on a lot, 2 poker tables and a ticket machine set at 999, and rape/pillage those townies. For those 5 Business wants, it's same type of lot, but set at cheap, get LVL 10 with no interaction, sell/buy/rinse/repeat. Once i've done my first business selling items to LVL 10, why go thru the hassle again.
I did basically the same thing; however, I set my ticket machine even higher. While it is a bit of a hassel trying to get customers in, and you can't do it without the proper sales interactions, I set the ticket machine up to about $25,000 an hour. My family of two servos had more than two million dollars in two days. It is such a manipulation of the game, though, that I won't be allowing any of my other Sims the privelage.

Another question I have is about home businesses. I stopped having them because the Sims would always get visitors who turned into customers and then complained to the Sims that lived there. Does this still happen?
Although Squinge's hack does help, it doesn't fix it all. It stops all complaints from customers, whether a home business or a comm lot, but that isn't what I wanted. I just wanted visitors to home businesses to behave as visitors rather than customers. But visitors still turn into customers if the home business is open when they arrive. Even booty calls! I was upset to see a Sim finally decide to do a booty call, then watch her beau start shopping the minute he arrived. Even children start shopping when invited over after school with the school bus dialog!
But at least if the home business is closed, their visitors don't start randomly complaining if Squinge's mod is installed. The customer selector doesn't help. It stops chosen Sim types from showing up as customers, but it doesn't stop visitors from becoming a customer when they arrive on the lot even if they are one of the banned Sim types.
That mod was my last hope for home businesses. Home business owners can only have friends visit them after hours. Since I'm using Comm lot Time, I really wanted a few mothers to make some extra money with a home business since they can work an still take care of the little ones. But I'm ready to give up on home businesses.
J. M. Pescado:
The visitor-to-customer logic is basically tied, likely inextricably, to the AI of sims themselves, which means that all sims, unless the option is explicitly denied, will respond to the shopping advertisements and thus start shopping on arrival.
witch:
Yes, that's actually what I wanted, for visitors and customers to stay separate, if they won't, then no home businesses. Thanks for that info - unwelcome as it is. :P
