Is there a hack that allows this?
I want to be able to sell the cologne at home.

The fasterbuyclothes hack is not working the way it used to. Now, no matter where a sim is standing if you click on a clothes rack the clothes choser will appear and they will pull a pile of clothes out of the air (even through objects & other sims) and walk to a changing both. Before they would at least walk over to a rack before the clothes choser would appear.

Level 4 defect - purely cosmetic 

Mmmm... can you sell the potions? what about the love-potion? put that gypsie out of business. 

Don't know if this is OFB related but I started to notice that when I'm not playing one of my sims and he shows up on a lot, he will go over to someone and say something to them or do something and the person will turn around with there arms crossed and shake their head. My sim would then give them a little shove. The shove is not the "annoy" action but a little shove as to say why are you ignoring me. Has anyone seen this?

Is this possible?

Yes, please do this. I don't want my sims buying useless things or getting messed over by the incompetent beauticians at the salon in Bluewater. I sent one of my sims there and the chopped her hair into a mess. I wanted to send her to another playable sim's salon but I can't do that.

thanks

Just started a salon and it is going good. It is only my sim working with one chair. In two days of working, she received the bronze sales badge and the bronze cosmetology badge and reached rank 3. She only has about 2-4 points in the assosciated skills.
She drew in ALOT of customers and all she had in there was the make over chair. I didn't give any free makeovers and the customers paid without any problem. They didn't have a problem sitting in the chair and they even would sit waiting until I was finished with another customer. Although you do have to be quick as their attention span is really short. What I did when they showed up was offer them a makeover; they then would either "consider" it (green carrot) or walk around for a while. Once they started to consider I would do a sale on them. This would make the bar go up higher and once filled they would sit on the couch that I have and wait until I click the chair to "be stylist". Once I clicked the chair, they would get up and sit in the salon chair.
With all the makeovers done, only two were messed up and that was because her needs were low.

That is what makes this really hard. I spent so much time, focusing on the customers trying to make some $$ that her needs (hunger, energy, bladder) would bottom out. So much time is spent on the business; it becomes a challenge to balance the business, the needs and the aspiration. Also, it is takes time for the business to make money. My poor sim didn't have anytime to chat up the men she was meeting to fulfill her want of 50 dates.

skandelouslala,
how did you sell perfume? was this a home business?

Is yellow pee okay? It has a date of 3/2 in the Director's cut but I just wanted to make sure. What about harderjobs?

Thanks.

can you post a link or at least the title so I can search for it. thanks

(scratching head)...so if I am running a home business that has 3 playable characters and I send another sim to that lot only the owner will be there? Where will the other 2pc's be at? (I know bad grammar)
The other household members won't work in the store? (at register, etc.)

(i know i need the guide, i will hopefully have it tomorrow)

Anyone have a family member or friend who is now interested in playing Sims because of the new business aspect? My hubby doesn't get why I am so into the game and has never played before but now he wants to start a business...and i'm ready to point and laugh at him when he fails  .

(and he thinks he is going to start a business in my hood, yeah right!)

I wanted to be able to have them do this autonomously, like an employee would do when you hire them.

Can the owner perform sales on their own or do you constantly have to direct them?

Amazon finally delivered on Sat, so I only had a few hours to play (where do you all find the time?)
Anyway,

I have seen new wants and fears. My sim had wants to make a sale to people and gain customer loyalty points. He also had a fear that he would lose customer royalty points.

This is my 1st and only business so far and is very profitable (home business), although my sim is in the red (just started out and had shop open for a few hours). I have him selling his own paintings including a portrait of a dormie (sold for over $600) and easels. He had three customers come in (one more came after closing so he just left) and all bought two or more items and 2 of them gained customer loyalty points really quickly. He gained Rank 1 really fast. I only had the gallery open for about 2 sim hours. The back part of the art gallery is a nightclub where I will charge with the ticket machine. I think he is going to do really well.

Now for my questions (waiting for the guide - yes I need it!)

- What makes a customer gain loyalty points? I played the premade flower shop for a while and I couldn't get the lady to gain points for nothing. She would try to "sell item" to people and their green bar would drop. She would "show item" to someone and they would get a negative-star sign above their heads. People only bought one or two things but they left without gaining any loyalty. However, when I had one of my sims open an art gallery, his customers were gaining loyalty quickly with him just doing one "sale item" to them. They were buying up the stuff. What is the difference? The maxis-sim has no skill points and my sim has a lot, is that the difference?


- Can you hire household sims as employee's? If not, how do you get the option to train them to work the register or restock?

…back to reading…

After installing OFB,
Moved family unto a lot that was previously played but now empty. It was Monday morning and the mailman/lady showed up. When trying to put mail into the box, they kept "jumping" from it (obviously b/c it was Monday so technically no bills are suppossed to come). This kept happening over and over; they didn't leave until I teleported them off. Anyone have this problem?

thanks.

Okay, forget what I said, this is cute!!! Modders are always a step ahead of Maxis. 

thanks. 

Oh, I thought this was about the regular toddler mirror. Didn't realize it was for another one (I can't get to MST2 from work). So yeah, I guess if you want the cute toy mirror you can still use it. Hope it doesn't conflict with OFB.

Now with OFB this shouldn't be needed as teens and adults can take the toddler to the mirror to change their appearance.

Okay, I'm assuming I have to uninstall the version I currently have before installing this new one for OFB.

1st question - how do I enable "debug" mode? then how do I disable it?

2nd question - for clarity sake, this can be installed for OFB to keep track of time but you can't hop between lots like previously?

Haven't got the game yet, (darn Amazon) but from what I've been reading from other's...

TJ -formal wear, is no longer needed as now with the arc the sims can get married in whatever formalwear they have selected
Toddler Mirror (MTS2), no longer needed since an adult or teen can bring a toddler to the mirror to change appearance.
TJ- multiple births, there is now an option to force a pregnancy to be twins. I guess it is still need for multiple births though.

I read on another site that OFB is suppossed to now allow more than 8 sims on a lot.
They got the information from the guide, this is the quote,

Okay I'm not getting it. What do the hacks that are highlighted orange and have the strike through mean? I guess it means they're not safe but will they be updated or has OFB made them obselete?

thanks

What is the "CEP"?

thanks
