No Lame Hires

[Motoki]

Well against your better advice Pescado I tinkered around with this and actually got to to work so I only get townies now. Trouble is, I bypassed the check for age and so I am sometimes getting kids popping up on the list.  As much as the thought of a child labor sweat shop amuses me, I could see a lot of issues caused by hiring one. I wonder if there's any job they could do. Restocking? Waiter? I may just have to try and see what happens for the sheer perverse amusment of it.

Opps. In my eagerness to download and use this, I must have missed out reading that essential part.
Thanks for solving my mystery ...

Yes, townies are always eligible because townies don't earn or even like their jobs.

  Motoki, do tell. My experience is kids can't do anything to help business at home. Let's see if they can do more in the community.

What happens if an employee is laid-off, will they reappear on the list?  I have a few I don't need anymore, but I don't want to fire them because they've done nothing wrong.  On the other hand, I don't want to lay them off because to me that means they are only temporarily not working and will still retain their jobs.  There's no option to simply tell them "Sorry, we don't need you anymore", because that isn't the same as giving them the sack.  Where is the "Make Redundant" option???

I am also very keen on a YA element, because I'm using Squidge's mod.  I didn't realise there was a conflict, but it might explain why no YA's have appeared on my lists since I installed it.

As far as I can tell, in this game laying a sim off is just a polite way to fire them. At least that's how it seems to work for me.

I think that's in the currently uploaded version.

I have a question, I use the MoreEmployeesForHire mod by squinge, along with this mod. I've had no problems with them together, but I wouldn't know of a problem unless it crashed my game.
Now I have a lot of townies and playable sims for hire in the bin, I'm guessing they're all unemployed or with jobs under L6. But I have some playable sims showing up in the hire bin who own businesses. Is this because the game sees them as unemployed? Or does Squinge's mod make this one misbehave?
Maybe the awesome one would consider increasing the size of the hire bin, linked with the no lame hires mod. So I could use less mods. Or maybe I'll shut up and pucker my lips.

That's probably a BCON mod and is unrelated to the selection BHAV, so they are likely compatible. I don't have it myself, though, so can't confirm one way or another.

Merely owning a business does not cause the game to consider you "employed", since owning a business does not preclude one from also holding a regular job, running a business is zero-time (due to nonunified time on community lots) and thus such sims remain potentially valid for hiring, or for getting a "regular" job.

Okay, I'm glad everything is working as it should, thanks.

Update for OFBp2.

No, certain jobs are specifically best filled by unskilled labor. The Bartender and the DJ (non-player DJs cannot fail under default rules) position are all jobs that do not have any skill requirements, and are thus best filled with cheap unskilled labor.

I have an undiscovered shiny I tweaked from the Squinge original which displays the entire hiring pool at once, but Fat Gwilly People haven't asked.

Oh that would be RLY awesome. Would you mind obliging yet again Gwill?

[SpaceDoll]

I rely on that Squinge mod, myself, and would much prefer an awesome version!  Gwill, where are you?
