Some things are affected, other things are not. The various guides are, as usual, full of shit. What did you expect from a book which obviously must be pure conjecture given that it was put up for sale BEFORE THE GAME EVEN EXISTED?!?
Not a whole hell of a lot. That's why I don't buy them, but leech the info off of other suckers who have.  Does this hack also make them faster pre-badge? I noticed that the fresh CAS sim I played last night seemed to punch those keys a lot faster than the other sim I played pre-hack. |

This seems to be working great. I got my first bronze level cashier badge today, and it didn't take a tremendous amount of effort. Thanks!

I just noticed another dumb thing about cashiers, Maxis didn't see fit to give the cashier npcs any badges. Also, while you visit a community lot they seem to punch away at the register with great ease, yet if you hire in your store them they suddenly seem to forget being able to do that and fall all over themselves.  |

Yes the regular old pre-OFB community lots. I thought the best way to find someone to hire with a register badge would be to hire someone who already has experience as a cashier, but I guess that's not the case.

 hehe, quite good thinking, but you were wrong to assume Maxis follows logic. The thing with hiring a specific person is you have to know them (but I don't know the relationship requirement). I just don't have the time to get to know them before I can hire them. In my Bluewater village, all the community lots are owned by somebody by now. |

I think it's around 20 daily. It's a pain in the butt though having to try and manually hire them all to figure out who has what badge. I am finding I really need to sharpen my memory and keep in mind which sims have which badges so I can hire the right ones when I need them at a later date.

How many transactions should a Sim have to go through to hit Gold? I pulled it off in my one-Sims home shop (Flower lady in Bluewater Village) in less than three Sim Days. With hours of operation being 9am to 5pm or so. And she was busy re-stocking (for the first two days, then she hired a peon townie teen) and doing Sales socials the entire itme. Unless she started with an invisible head start, she flew through them. The first badge only took between 3 to 7 transactions. She got it her first afternoon of business.

According to my data, it's 4 to bronze, 8 to silver, and 28 to gold. Sims perform their tasks competently at the Silver level, badly below that. It's enough to incite one to homicidal rage after seeing it more than a few times, sorta like the urge you get when you see somebody typing too slowly: You just wanna punch 'em in the face.
By DEFAULT, it's an AGONIZING 17(!!!) to bronze and an additional 33(!!!) to silver!, and an additional 66(!!!) to gold. My level 10 business has served 81 customers. You will never see a gold cashier badge like that. It just won't happen.

Thanks for this JM. It was a badly needed mod. Although I have come across more than a few cash-register morons of all ages and in shapes and sizes of store over the years they are not that common!

 That is just... MENTALLY RETARDED! I like your version way better! Gah... 17 transactions... no wonder people hated my shops before. |

At the risk of being lipless, ThankYouThisisGreat. Right up there with the Coffee Cup hack for pounding logic into poor design.  |

Thank you so much this is a very needed one for sure. I hate it when they get hit in the stomach by the drawer.

From personal experience: Maybe twice, if the shop is busy and two people are trying to simultaneously serve customers, and the cash drawer is situated just below the bench on which the non-using-cash-register-person is trying to wrap a customer's purchase. And there is no warning. |

Would it be possible to modify the hack so that the level of logic does have an effect? I need some motivation to build my sims' skills, and it's disappointing if the logic affects nothing when it comes to cashier skills. I knew there was something fishy going on when a sim with at least 7 logic skill points took ages to earn even a bronze badge.

Y'know, it's things like THIS that make me wish Maxis would send advance copies of their EPs to JMP to Beta Test and debug sort of two or three months before inflicting them on the rest of us. The ****** "Location out of Bounds" bug is another of course. How no one spotted THAT during weeks or even months of testing before its release, when it took me about 10 minutes after installing, God alone knows. Anyway, yes, better Cashiers. Thank GOD! By which I mean thank YOU, JMP. |

Did someone kidnap the Smarter Cashier? I'm getting an "it ain't here" error. My eyeballs can't find it, either.

Must try this out...This was definately something that annoyed me. One of my first jobs was as a cashier and it was simple...learned in training before I even saw a customer. Definately not as difficult as this game makes it look!

Well, if logic did have an effect, and max logic halved those numbers, that wouldn't be so bad. I wonder what Maxis really intended.  Oh well. Doesn't matter. I'm installing your hack. I've gotten a few bronze register badges the hard way, but it looks like it will take forever to get to silver. |
