Most bakeries (at least the ones I've seen) rarely sell individual versions of things. It's either a whole pie, cake, loaf of bread, etc, or nothing.

On the flip side, if you want a 'bakery' business that does only 'sell' individual pieces, start a small resturant.  When you click on the podium, you have the option of setting the menu (just choose the 'bakery' type of stuff), and the price.  You'll need 2-3 employees, depending on if the manager works or not.  1 as the host, 1 as the server/cleaner, and one as the cook.

The nice thing about it is, you don't have to worry about getting sell/restock/cashier badges (unless you also have a display set up for selling whole pies, etc).  The host and the server just do their thing, and the cook stands around cooking (course, make sure your cook has decent cooking skills).

Finally, now I can actually open up a community business without worrying about screwing up my playable's incomes.

One of my sims, after drinking the Elixir of Life, walked around for the next sim week with the blue glow and sparklies floating off him.  Not sure if he'll have it still when I go back to play, but it was actually kind of neat.

You rock JM, thanks tons for this!

I know a lot of people that should happen to....

Not sure if anyone posted this or not:

For those of you wanting to use custom fridges and still have a bakery, just click on the stove to access the "make many" feature.  This of course assumes you're using a Maxis standard stove.

As for custom food and the "make many" feature, I haven't added any to my game, so I can't comment on that.

So...has anyone made a hack to get rid of this annoying auto-action? 

Kicky-bag was just as annoying but at least it never hurt the relationships of the sims. I watched two best friends RPS all freaking day on a community lot and ended up not only hating each other, but getting into a fight!

And it seems just as addictive as the kicky-bag was...all my sims (NPCs and auto-sims) want to play this retarded game ALL the time.

Someone please, kill the RPS game.

Just a note, I know for me (and from reading various forums it's the case for others as well), that with OFB, the lot changing cheat is messed up and not working properly. 

Well...I could just launch into a disertation about how weird I am (or can get) but...that's always best left to be decided by the observer.  Hehe.

My sim couple is actually very young.  They did some heavy skilling as teens and YAs, and then focused on only obtaining their LTWs.  Once that was done (1 wanted 7 maxed skills, so he stayed home and studied...cooking first, and the other wanted to be a mad scientist).  They're both very young yet, in fact, part of my goal with them is to never let them get past 20 days until their next age transition (they use a lot of Elixirs of Life, usually taking a drink once every three days, and since they're perma-plat in asp, it's always effective).

They're also the first 100% no-cheat sims I've made...not counting some of the kick-ass mods/hacks from here, which I don't consider cheating, just more efficient. 

And actually, I have to blame/thank Pescado for it.  I didn't know the no20khandout was included in the OFB's DC pack, and got a little bit of a shock when after those two sims graduated, they each had roughly 7k simoleons.  I came here trying to figure out why that happened.  When I read about the hack, I decided I'd already spent to much time on them to just ditch them and start over, and I've always always always hated using the kaching/motherlode codes.  So...I plopped down that long and norrow first cheap plot, built a really effecient (and cheap) cottage for them (managed to make it 2 stories and keep it under 4k).  Moved the first one in, then combined the households and ran with it.  After buying the absolute bare essentials, my mad scientist want sim lucked out and got the job as the second choice from the paper.   

They've both maxed out all 'normal' skills and have started on the 'hidden' skills (teleporting, dancing, pool), and the OFB workstations.  Oh..and after reading something somewhere (I forget where now), they've been starting to collect all the job outfits by working through each career (thus unlocking each and every careeer reward as they go).

I'm honestly having a blast playing them 'cheat' free.  I keep saying that, even though I know some people would say that using any mods/hacks is cheating...but considering before OFB I freely InSiminated my sims any way I wanted (asp, personality, interests, etc), this is far from cheating IMO.

I agree, sitting around waiting for them to meditate enough can be boring.  But, I've got  a sim couple that meditates together in their garden at the same time every day.  It always makes me grin when they simultaneously do the "ooohhhmmm" sound together.

...

What?  Yes, I already know I'm weird, thanks.   

Hehe, that's the thing Ancient, I used to have that version of InSim.  I got rid of it because it made the game way to easy for me, and I got bored playing.

While I do use a lot of Pescado's and TJ's hacks, I only use the ones that get rid of/modify annoyances, not out and out 'cheats'.  Having a teleport that only unlocks after you've already unlocked the 'standard' teleport is an out and out cheat, since I'm asking for it to be made to where you don't have to meditate anymore.  But...I'd still have to get my sims to work for it (by meditating), and certain sims (the really playful ones), would never have access to it.  I like variety in my game and my sims.  If they all can do the exact same thing, in every household on every lot, then I very quickly get bored.

I orignally thought that maybe the flight ability could only be accessed after first reaching the top of the law enforcement career (like it is now), then stay 'unlocked' for that sim only no matter what career they changed to.  For the downtown/community lot movement/transfer, I was thinking it'd probably have to be a type of taxi/carpool hack or something.  I'm totally clueless about this sort of thing.

Er..hi.  I'm kinda new here, been lurking about for a few weeks and finally decided to stop.

I've got some questions/requests.

1) Teleportation - I've seen hacks/mods that let any sim use the teleport feature but, what I'd rather see is an 'unlockable' teleport movement feature.  Basically, once you unlock it by meditating, you can use it all the time, without having to meditate each time.

2) Fly - Is there any way possible to make or unlock the flight animation, so that you could choose to "Fly to [community/downtown/ofb] lot"?  It'd be like your super sim flying off to work and landing near the phone booth in the destination lot.

I've no idea if these are even possible but, I figured the worst that could happen by asking is someone makes fun of me, and hey, everyone deserves a good being made fun of now and then.
