How do you sell robots?

forget the guide!  You don't need it!

I had no trouble figuring things out...  but I did the unthinkable and turned game tips on.

Yeah, yeah, smarty. I did too.

But when I'm talking about basics, I'm talking about things like "do not put robots on shelves because you wont be able to restock and you will sit there for an hour like a fool wondering why."

Then again, maybe they expect me to turn moveobjects off once in awhile.

You need to click on the square base station, not the actual 'bot.

I wasn't able to sell the hydrobots or the cleanbots either, from a community lot business. I tried just placing them on the floor and making sure I didn't lose the base, and then selling them, but it didn't work. I don't remember if I tried clicking on the base or not- I will try it the next time I have access to the game.

I've had game tips on since installing and it's not a huge help.  For example, it gives little blurbs about buying shelves and placing items on them, using the phone to start up your business, so on and so forth.  I've yet to see any info on how to actually deal with customers and get them to buy your products.  It did tell how to price things manually, but it took some fiddling around to figure out how to actually lower the prices using the option on the cash register.  Otherwise, I keep getting useless nonsense about my sims now being able to date, having influence points, so on and so forth.  I'd imagine it's because this is a fresh install so the computer thinks I need all the game tips and not just the OFB ones--and I need WAY more than the OFB tips are giving!
