Mine keep going home in hula skirts and Psychiatrist outfits. lol
I suppose it's better than shorts paired with winter jackets or sandals and turtleneck sweaters.

I wonder what that "warrior" outfit was originally intended for.

Every time you use Inteen, god steps on a kitten until it dies a horrible, bleeding death.

Ideally, it would be nice if they left after making a purchase but that isn't so. Normally, what I do is either a) Show them something to buy or if that doesn't work I b) Show them the door. This only applies to the troublemakers though.

*thinks we need a "business uses you" hack*

OK, maybe I'm spreading misinformation since my sims are always perma-plat when the reaper comes calling. But does it make sense to you that they get special treatment just because they were in a temporary state of platinum? No, that seems like a "close but no cigar" kind of situation to me. Then again, knowing goofy Maxis logic, anything is possible.

I've got some nasty jump bugs as well as the blank want slots as well. Like you, I can't seem to pinpoint what's causing them either (eg. no object error logs, etc.).

As a side note that's more comical than on topic, one of my post-uni family sims has five blank want slots and the sixth slot is always "Woohoo in bed". I guess that's all she wants now that she's done it all.

Adults can't technically live on campus, if you're playing by Maxis rules. Servo is considered an adult. Servo also requires a considerable amount of social attention which makes it a bad choice for university lots since normally, your students don't have time to babysit a servo as they're too busy working, building up Greek Houses and other Uni-type activities.

Did you achieve permanent platinum, or just a normal platinum mood? They need to be perma-plat for the pretty tombstone.

Ah, I see. Need more coffee before I post silly questions.

No, I'm not JM but my workers don't get paid squat regardless. 
I've been trying to hire the neighborhood kids to make shoes and small, worthless plastic toys with "Made In Sim City" stamped on the bottom.

Why would want you remove the badges? Just because they have a certain badge, doesn't mean they have to do the job associated with it, and they can still earn other badges. Besides, you never know when you'll need them again.

It's only a game, Anelca.

Yes, it's called Open For Business. 

lol, not like it needs to be a vampire since, like vampires, it doesn't age either.

On the other side, the zombie robots are slightly comical since they tend to complain about doing chores all day long.

Interesting how they've segregated the neighborhoods like that. I presume it's that way because they they can't expect everyone to have the same combination of explanation packs, then again, I'm sure the extra code would be trivial to add over at EA/Maxis that would allow global townie traversal (eg. if the user has this EP, then do this, if not, do this instead).

Not a big deal really, there's enough townie clutter as it is and you could always place another business downtown if you really wanted to.

Downtown won't come uptown?

That's odd, I've seen them walking around base neighborhoods before. Or maybe I was hallucinating.

Put a barrier around the cash register with lockable gate style doors.
It might not be too glamorous, but it works.

Since when do your sim kids have time to play anyways?

Mine come home, do homework, eat, nap, skill, sleep. Weekends you say? No, you skill.
No, you cannot be a kid in my sim household and therefore you may not have the "fun pack" now go to your room and study up on cooking. Don't come out until you're at least level 8.

LMAO! Git to bed!

I was playing one day and noticed that I didn't have any customers for, well, a long time. I looked way down at the end of the lot, and just out of earshot, they were all playing kicky bag. I had to laugh, their customer loyalty was going up and up. Problem was, I wasn't making any money! I shooed them and they came back to shop.

I don't mind them goofing around in the store, that's the way they are. Customer loyalty and stars are simple to regain as long as you're playing the shop properly.

Of course, I have a problem with them losing loyalty over the actions of another sim. It makes little sense to me that someone would get mad at the shop owner if someone else pops them with a water balloon. Get over it! Stop complaining! What do you want me to do, kill them off? They don't work here! lol 

Squinge's mod is a bit extreme for my taste. I don't need sedated customers.

That's an oldie.

I used that to wipe out ugly Uni kids. Of course, now with JM's fix, they wipe themseleves out. 

Hmm, speaking of which, one of my shops went poof as well. I can't get into it visiting or to go to work. 
The game just crashes with a windows error rather than a sims2 error dialog and thus, no error log is created by the game.

Damn. I wonder how many other shops are broken for me.

Oh well.

Touché!

Are you sure? I've had visitors come over, use the on-site oven, leave the food in it and walk away. I waited for the fire (for some twisted reason) but it never started. Maybe only your playables can start fires on community lots?

I'm not certain what calculates the revenue since it seems well out of whack to me.

I have a clothing store being remotely run and it generates $1K+ a day just selling clothes and perfume.
I have another shop that sells miscellaneous items and it generates $60 a day.
Then there's the robot shop that only makes $800 a day.

I don't get it. Clothes make more cash than robots?

I'm sure someone will figure out what variables create a good, remotely operated business.

Numenor's custom walls hack may also interfere with split level flooring.

They work 100% here.
