Right, well it has never made money when I was at home. And yes, I check in every day ... and my manager says everything is alright.

(when I come home from the shop though, and check in I have to fill a bar above my head when I talk to him, when I haven't been at the shop that day he just says I don't have to worry about anything.)

When I check the business at the computer, nothing changes ... so all data reamins the same as the last time I went on the community lot, so nothing happens over there.

When I do go (thanks to the hack the shop is open now when I arrive, it was closed before), I just wait, watch TV and at the end of the day my 5 personel people (2 managers) make about 25k. But then again when I go home my sim forces everyone to go home, closes the shop, and I never make money at midnight (home > a popup comes) ... even when I check in.

Pretty sad, but yeah, thanks alot for helping me out here, if you don't have a clue, no problem 

oh yeah Marhis did you have the problem yourself? pretty strange only some have it, or does everyone has this bug then hm?

hi!

yes, i found that somewhere else, and indeed I made the folder Downloads. Yes indeed they are enabled when I start the game ... so no problems there ... and I have the idea the other hacks works.

There is one big improvement; when I go to the community lot, the shop is open! that wasn't so before.(but there are no emloyees though) But still ... around midnight "..hasn't made money today, it's time you'd shake up things ..."

I waited 3 days (in sim life  )... I have no idea why it won't work 

thanks alot for helping! well at least I'm sure where to put them now

Hm yeah I checked the manual/readme but nothing in there. I put them in MAcintosh HD > Document > EA Games > The sims 2
When I start the game there's a popup asking to enable the packages, but that comes every time I open, not that bad, and I have a lot of freaky objects and all sorts, pretty cool. But that business bug isn't fixed still, I do check in every day ...

Any mac users here who might tell the exact location where I should put them? Thanks heaps.

hm so not somewhere in my The Sims 2 file? I still doesn't work .. I downloaded them all, also antibusinessdecay.package seperate.

Or maybe I'm doing something wrong gameplay wise? No idea .. my manager has all skills, is overpaid, is alive (is a robot) and when I check in everything is alright ... personally I'd place them somewhere in thesims2 map, but if you say so ... kinda sux though.

Thanks alot for the help.

right, thanks, I did. Is there a special location I should put the folder/files?

oh, great, woo I'm getting less desperate 
 hm I searched around here but didn't find it ... do you have a link perhaps? 

thanks!!

Hi! I'm pretty desperate because I really want to fix this bug  ... I found a similar thread here about it ( http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,7853.0.html ) but didnt reply because it was pretty old.

I have never hacked a game before or so, but even if that works, I'm running it on mac ... I guess the hack I'd find here would ve useless for mac right?

Thanks alot.
