Title: uploading businesses Post by: cwykes on 2006 July 03, 11:42:51 I'm making some shops on desert terrain for upload. I have some questions.....
The lots that came with OFB had stock already marked for sale. I can't see how to do that when I'm building a lot. I think you'd have to have a sim own the shop in order to be able to mark the stock for sale. Do I upload:- 1. unplayed versions so that none of the stock is marked for sale 2. played versions packaged while the lot is owned by a sim - will the stock be priced and is that safe? 3. second hand versions packaged after the sim has priced things and sold the lot -will the stock still be priced? 4. Some other clever thing I haven't thought of! If a sim sells a level 3 business and I upload it. Is it still a level 3 business and does that make it more expensive despite the fact the furnishings are older? I have a health spa which is basically a pay per visit lot. Can I sell clothes there successfully? I suspect you can't combine the 2 types of business successfully. I think I read here the answer to that is NO Title: Re: uploading businesses Post by: J. M.

It will no longer be level 3.Quote I have a health spa which is basically a pay per visit lot. Can I sell clothes there successfully? I suspect you can't combine the 2 types of business successfully. I think I read here the answer to that is NO I have no problems doing so. Your mileage may vary.Title: Re: uploading businesses Post by: cwykes on 2006 July 05, 09:42:02 Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I'll put them up on TSR unplayed and experiment with clothes sales in a pay per visit resort.
I'm doing some starter businesses - priced about 5k or so. It's doable - the hairdresser chair in the desert with a few flamingos is up to level 8. OK it started with a loo, washbasin, expresso and some chairs plus he carried some stuff to and from home in the inventory. Maybe you need the Ethiopian shop challenge...
