I suppose the only way to find out how this works is to play the game.  I presume there is something to click on?

There is, but all the options are rather self-explanatory to me and none of them need to actually be touched. Just have all of the relevant things in place and watch magic happen.

I tested this hack with a home business.  I keep getting multiple errors referencing "Visit Controller" (see attached log) popping up literally every few seconds.  I get these errors whether the business is open or closed, it doesn't seem to matter.  I have never seen this error before today so I figure it is probably related to this hack.  I didn't test with the "business uses you" object removed from the lot to see if the error still occurred.  I am running all the latest versions of macrotastics, bathroomusesyou, skillinator, etc.

On the bright side, I like the new "Be Restocker" option.  I'm sure it will come in very handy.

That bug is actually Phone Hack related. It is fixed. Go get the update.

Yes, this is newer than Fat Head Edition.

Not sure if this should be posted here or in the Macrotastics thread, but I noticed that Macro...Be Salesperson is now showing up even on home lots that don't have a business, and on business lots when the business is closed.

Will be fixed in next AutoSoc update. Option should still appear when business is closed, since it is now a stationkeeping mode like Power Idle.

Where is the Be Restocker option?  And how does this affect employee breaks?  Do business owners still have to tell employees to take a break and they're just coming back quickly or the employees take the break when they need it automatically?

Restocker option is in "business" menue on the sim, and you have to send your employee to pause he get back to work after he got green moods

This problem is not related to Business Runs You. Your problem is caused by by something which appears to be non-awesome. Employees cannot be employees on multiple lots with different owners, so whatever you're doing is clearly not-awesome.

Business owners may tell an employee to take a break, whereupon they will do so, and once everything addressable is addressed, they will return to work. If an employee stops working due to motives, he will take a now-automated break and then return to work on his own automatically rather than goofing off until yelled at.

Cool stuff. Question, could LilAbner still add swedish translations to the awesome hacks? Reason I'm wondering is that the phones and business options duplicate, both a Ring and a Call pie menu option cluttering up the place.

I haven't seen him in ages. If someone would like to volunteer extra-language translations, feel free.

This works great. Very little attention needs to be payed to, well, anyone.

Question: Would this prevent interactions with the reporter NPC? I had one pop into the shop and do that stupid "I don't know where anything is" action and when I tried to "May I help you?" it would immediately drop out of the que. At the time that this happened, there were no other salespeople on site.

Hmm. An interesting possibility. I believe that might actually be an odd side effect eliminated in the next version, because I noticed this also, but it went away a few updates later in testing.

I volunteer mine, although I'm not sure most swedes would agree that Färdighetsfiffla is a good translation for Skillinate. How would I go about making translations?

You need to load it into SimPE.  You should see an item in the package which reads 'Pie Menu Strings' - to add a translation, you want to check the box which says 'Show Default for Comparison' if English is the default language, and then choose the desired language from the drop-down menu.



When you have the right one picked out, you should notice that it is presently devoid of menu strings.

Of course, there are other texty bits which may need to be translated (such as messages which are sent to the user via message box) but these follow a similar pattern.

Done so, written in most of the texts, just working on sleepclock and waiting for a brainstorm on Power Idle (Been using Supersysslolös, but it doesn't have quite the ring to it). Then some spellchecking to avoid public humiliation. And then how to send them on their merry way?

Loading into SimPE won't actually get me those changes for official incorporation, so it's best if you send them as a flat text file for cutting and pasting, simply in the order they were listed.

Färdighetsfiffla it is, although I'm open to suggestions and/or complaints.
