Just checking my Hacks folder and I do have the wfsanity one, so maybe I will go ahead and add the nolamehires also and see if it makes any difference.
At least this is normal (for the game). Thanks for the info Pescado!

Pescado has a "No Lame Hire" mod that keeps sims from wanting to hire others who already have legit jobs, above level 2 I think. But I didn't think that was the case here so I'm not using it.  As mentioned above, I'm also running a home brothel business, not a typical business.  Money's nice, but I've never had a 4-5 star establishment and wanted to see what that was all about. Haven't kept at it because it gets boring pretty fast when the wants never change.  So I guess I'll just lessen the pace and give them a life outside the business and see what happens. Locking the different wants is a good idea, as is removing the toilet--  .
Thanks for all the help!

Thanks for the suggestions. As a matter of fact, I do tend to keep them obsessively slaving away at their business so they can make a lot of money quickly, so maybe it's no wonder that they want to hire some help!  I have tried the Lot Debugger with no effect, and letting them sleep.  What helps the most is leaving the lot and reloading it, then everything resets.  The problem may be more related to the way I'm playing them, with an object hack to keep them in Platinum and all their needs in the green, so that probably explains the lack of variety in their wants. I will try playing without using the hack and not keep the business open for 24-7 and see how it goes. Thanks again!

I did google every possible combination of the above question without coming up with anything, btw, but poke away if this is a stupid question.  I prefer my businesses to be on residential lots, but each time I've tried a new business, every person in the family starts to roll only business wants. My last family all wanted to hire someone--anyone. Even the teenagers wanted to hire their best friends.  I have mostly MATY hacks, including greater LTW variety. Is there a hack that would keep every single want slot from being clogged with wanting to hire someone? This always happens after about the 2nd or 3rd day of running a business.  Quitting the lot and then returning seems to reset and then I get some other want types rolling in.  Is this "normal" or is something getting stuck somewhere?  *Sits back and waits for poking to commence*

I see this thread is old, but thought I'd ask anyway. I haven't checked my custom content since I installed NL when it came out, so forgot about CBoy's portals fixes. I've just installed OFB and the warning about custom content showed the files are in my game.     I have taken them out now, but should I uninstall OFB and then reinstall? Would installing over CBoy's files cause any problems, or would they have been ignored?     Any help appreciated, thanks!
