Title: No Restaurant Guide Royalties?
Post by: PlayLives on 2009 March 03, 17:06:45
I didn't break it, but it seems broke...

After writing a restaurant guide I get a pop-up saying hopefully it does well but there is no call for the sim to get the royalty check. This is on a regular residential lot. Is there something I'm missing about this feature? I assumed it was supposed to work just like writing novels. Anyone else having this problem?

Does your house have a landline? I seem to recall novels require the house having a landline in order for the royalty call to come . Same with the Restaurant Guide sales.

Also, make sure you haven't turned off the ringer.

Yes there is a land line. Will check the ringer...

If it pays out by the same vector as the novel, it should pass the filter anyway. If not, I will check it.

Yes, it would be nice to have the call/money collected regardless if the ringer is off.

It might pass your filter, but didn't EAxis include a less-functional "turn off ringer" in AL?
