OFB Business Type Questions
ZiggyDoodle:
Has anyone used the coconut pinball machine (gamer career reward) in a business?
My eyeballs popped as I watched the family income increase by about a thousand bucks when it was played for the first time last night by a guest.
The machine belongs to a newly married couple who need a bigger house. Husband is the gamer but I think Isabella's going to quit her job as chief of staff and get into the gamer field.
Two of these pinball machines set up in an on-premises gaming hut with a ticket machine should get them a new waterfront home pretty quick.

I love in-home businesses. If my business-owner wants to socialize, I close the business. I don't have time for playing with guests and working the register or whatever at the same time anyway. If the visitor is for someone else that lives in the house but isn't currently helping with the business, I can generally keep them from becoming shoppers by paying attention to them and doing guest/host type stuff - they do go off to become shoppers if their host takes their eyes off of them though.
I get complaints, from any kind of shopper, if they've got a negative score with one of the employees/household members, if there's trash or dirty dishes, or if the shelves aren't stocked particularly with what they want to buy. Sometimes I try and fix it, sometimes I cancel the 'complaint' and sometimes I just send complain-y customers home - didn't need you anyways.
I don't understand the... obsession... with making money from businesses. One of my biggest thrills is the ability to use a business to take money away from my sims - anyone in my game 2nd generation or better has too much money anyway if you ask me, so I never bother to try and max out business stuff. Oooh, you've got extra money - let's buy a store. I buy things for the business at the wrong times and let them depreciate and everything. They still end up making a lot of money eventually, but it takes longer. Unless I need money for something specific, or to fulfill a want that I'm determined to fill, I mostly just let it worry about itself and it mostly ends up being in the 'too much' category. Then everything is easy and lesser fun.
Gwill:
The pinball machine is crazy. Nannies pay for themselves.

I can't stand the constant kaching noise. If someone made a silent version I'd use it again.
