There is a possibility that this hack does not work with the new expansion pack and the new pet stores.  Might be fixed, or partially fixed, with the new noautopetbuy.  Have yet to try it.

I have had this VERY handy hack installed for some time, but I have noticed that none of my business' have had a reporter show up and they are all doing very well. Could there be a conflict stoppping a reporter showing up with this hack?

Reporters show up randomly, and often infrequently. Inviting a reporter does not cause him to function as a reporter, although you can pump up his loyalty score without risking a bad review. Once a reporter maxes out his loyalty stars, you get an automatic Best of the Best without doing anything whenever he shows up to report.

Note, however, that "Best of the Best" doesn't really do anything, whereas "Good Review" is +2 max customers. Winning a Best of the Best automatically makes it impossible to get a Good Review from that reporter.

This is related to customers shopping. I have a hack on another comp that is in the shop right now that allowed playable shoppers, but when they bought something it would not show up in their inventory nor was the money deducted from their house finances. It was called shopnosave hack and I loved it. Does anybody here know where to get it? I've forgotten where I got it from. If worse comes to worse, I'll have to wait til my other comp comes back.

Squinge on Insim. It's in his OFB directory as "shopnsave".
