After trying out a variety of home businesses, I decided I'd try to open up a little cafe/hangout place, and use the ticket machine which I haven't before.
I set the price, set to start charging customers, and opened the store!
People lined up to the machine, I used sales on them, they filled the buy bar and that chime sounded.... but then I get this:
Ok I figure, apparently they can't get in the way they want to, so I unlock all the doors, and expand the front steps a little. Nada. In desperation I do this:
Still doesn't work! So I motherlode Sim Brynne up the wazoo, and have her buy sims gone wired to see if it happens on normal lots:
I'm tearing out my hair with frustration here! When not charging, the customers can come in on both lots and use everything, so I have no idea what the problem is. Am I confused as to how the ticket machine works? The customers will stand there, fill up the bar, think about a wall, then go back to debating on buying a ticket again, until the bar fills again... Then they eventually leave.
I had debug mode running, but got no errors. I am using Pescado's directors cut, a few hacks from Jeff and Crammy, and the rest is all hair and clothing.
Normal shops without a ticket machine work just fine.
