I have all the EP's and tons of custom content so I don't know what's conflicting with it.
The BLANTANT CHEATS WORK GREAT!!!!! Yea!

The customer and employee options never appear.

Other mods that I run - InSIMenator 2.3, Badgebear, all the other Dolphin's stuff, skillinator.. hmm... What else... :gonemad: Sooo many choices.... must have them all..... :nod:

Code: 
Temp0 := Sim's Family ID
Temp1 := 0x0
Temp4 := 0x64

Generic Sims Call 0x3E

Temp0 := (0x3A98 / 0x2710) mod 0x2710
Temp1 := 0x1388

Temp2 > Temp0, Wealth level 3
Temp2 == Temp0 && Temp3 >= Temp1, Wealth level 3

Temp0 := (0x1388 / 0x2710) mod 0x2710
Temp1 := 0x1388

Temp2 > Temp0, Wealth level 2
Temp2 == Temp0 && Temp3 >= Temp1, Wealth level 2

Wealth level 1

Just remember, for the purposess of buisnesses, townies (family id 0x7FFF, 0x7FFE or 0x7FFC) have unlimited funds.

By the way, nice hack.


Hey, thanks a lot! I hadn't noticed this, before!

I would like to point out that the generic sims call used in that bhav isn't made for retrieving actual funds. Its for calculating wealth level, which is what I gave you.
Please don't PM me with questions. Post them in the appropriate thread.

I think it does retrieve actual funds. The code you gave me also checks to see if it is more than $15000, in which it gives you $$$, then more than $5000, in which it gives you $$, then finally just $.

It's a bit confusing because the numbers involved would overflow a int16, so it has to be stored in two int16s. Temp2 has the high value, measured in $10,000 increments, and Temp3 has the remainder.

Am I completely off-base? I tested this on a playable sim, and I thought it was working... the only thing I'm unhappy about is that I can't make the dialog look good... I have to do something like this: "$15 0,000 + $3,223" instead of "$153,223".

One problem though, it can't handle large amounts. This is what I got in my testing:
8 and 7919 making 87919
2651 and 2140 making 98850911

In your above example, where did the 98850911 come from?

That is weird. Yes, the tests I had all were with modest wealth sims.

Hey, I've got an idea: Perhaps I could construct a BHAV that calculates exact funds if they are < $32,000, and -1 otherwise. Then I could use one of two dialogs, a generic one which says that it is over $32,000 for townies and rich sims, and another that says the exact amount for those with less than $32,000. That would probably fix both my formatting issue and any problem with really large numbers. And... I don't think you care if someone has more than $32,000 from a business perspective. What do you think?

I'm not aware of any problems related to this hack, and it's been downloaded nearly 10,000 times.

Ranking
Hey how can I get the ranks up to 10 in this cheat? Or is there away to cheat on this rank? Or can you make this happen with in this cheat object? It would be nice to get this too? Since I have disabilities it is hard for me to sit an extra timing for the ranks to hit the # 10 ranks. Thanks I hope you under stand? :baloons: :sci: :salute: :bandit:

PS: The download can not be found. The link for the download is coming up as a page can not be found. This is a problem? Help. Thanks! :sci:

I don't have a way to add business rank in this object, but you can do it indirectly with Squinge's adjust customer loyalty object. Just add stars to enough customers, and you get up the ranks quick enough.

As for your download problems, click on the having trouble downloading link next to the download. I can download it fine, and apparently over 10,000 others have as well.

Thank you for the information. Oh the download links are fine I had to sign out of my MSN tjen resign in. It was my server this time. MSN can have problems. Thank you very much and for all your hard work. :baloons: :sci: :bandit:

i tried to post this before, but I don't think it worked so if it shows up twice, sorry!
I was using the old version and have now updated, not sure if you changed an annoying feature or not, but if not, can you please?? pretty please??? When you mind read customers, it does it for everyone on the lot, but who cares what the employees want to buy? I just want a quick list of the customers. Employees can't buy anything anyway and I don't really care about their mood as i always use the boolprop maxmotives and motivedecay off cheat. i know I can just click on each customer and asses it, but I have a really large art gallery and it's a pain to hunt them down as opposed to just going to your object. I would love you forever if you could modify that!
P.S. Thanks again for this object, it's awsome!

The latest version already has code so it won't include employees. The algorithm it currently uses is everyone - selectable sims - employees.
