INSTRUCTIONS:
Place in your MYDOCU~1\EAGAME~1\THESIM~1\DOWNLO~1 directory.
FEATURES:
For ages, OFB businesses have been hampered by one thing: The inability to
target your business at a specific clientele without random idiots showing up
who don't fit the profile you want. With this shiny gray box, there are now
dozens of configurations to choose from!
For optimal results, it works best with the new version of noplayableshoppers,
and the new Business Controller. It will function alone, but noplayableshoppers
causes the normal spawner to yield to the Customer Selecter rather than having
to fight. Although if you don't have it, the Customer Selector is prepared to
do battle against it.
SHIFT-Click while in debug mode gives an option to reset all options to
default.
How to use it:
Buy the controller block (small gray box in Misc/Misc for §1) and place on lot.
There are three choices for each option - OR, NOT and AND
Depending on the option, they're either set at OR or NOT by default. A setting
of NOT will disallow a sim from being acceptable to this block if they have
the NOT-characteristic. A setting of AND will allow a sim ONLY if they have
that characteristic. A setting of OR will allow a customer if they satisfy the
above and any requirements for visitation as normal.
You can make blocks that configure customer interest settings as well,
targetting Sims who are looking for something specific like Entertainment or a
restaurant. Timepiece - Another gray box in the Misc/Misc catalog for §30, which
turns into an alarm clock when placed.
You can attach it to one of the gray blocks and cause it to load a different
policy at a specific hour. For optimal results, you should place two clocks per
box, one to change it at a specific hour and one to change it back. This is
helpful if you have a club that you want to be frequented by vampires at night,
but regular Sims during daylight hours. The blocks are conveniently numbered
with ID numbers so you can attach the clock to a specific block.
There are import and export settings on the clock - import copies your current
settings of that particular block onto the clock, saving them so you can order
the clock to apply it at a specific hour. Export applies those settings back
to the block right now so you can edit them and reimport them, or just because.
Multiple controller block to create 'OR' groupings. If, for example, you want
gay vampires or male robots, you can create one block with permissions for gay
vampires, and another block for male robots. That way these two specific
groups show up and you don't have to override one or the other.
Simply place more than one controller.
And remember: BlueSoup has a fat head and Hobbsee has a scrawny pencil neck.

I'm not entirely sure what the changes are, but I'm going to download anyway. I'm sure whatever you've done is most decidedly an improvement.

And indeed, one wonders what changed between this version and the one currently in the brand new "obsolete" directory.

The old override/accept/reject system was replaced with a cleaner system of boolean logic. This could break compatibility with the previous version, if you were heavily abusing the override setting.
JadeEliott:
I have installed the latest version of this - I do not have Pets.
I placed it on the lot, set ages child and teen to AND and all other ages to NOT. Yet adults/elders still showed up.
I restarted and tried it again. Same occurrence.
This is a home business lot, with the ticket thingy on it.
I finally ended up using TJ's visitor controller, but I don't want to as it refers to all visitors, and I just want to limit customers.
Has anyone else got this to work? Is there some secret 'on' button I am not pushing?
Please help.
Thanks!
