Nicely done. One requrest. Could the object also tally up full plates and/or single servings in inventiry? WOuld be most useful for bakery Sims.

I'll look into doing this, although it might be a bit until I have the time. I haven't played much with bakeries... What is the level of granularity, ie what is the set of objects that are distinct from each other for restocking purposes?

Well, there are Group Meals for every food or dessert in the game, and single plates for all of the foods and desserts. I can compile a list when I get home.

Thanks.

Are these unique from a restocking perspective? For example, if you have cake on display and run out, can you automatically restock with another desert in your inventory, or does the game complain to you that you have no more cake?

I ask because for robots, the restocking is done by base stations, and munchie bots are interchangeable from sentry bots because they share the same base station. Likewise, clean-bots and hydro-bots are the same from a restocking perspective, because the game will restock with whichever is available in your inventory without regard to which was there originally. However, you can't restock a munchie bot with a clean-bot, because they have different base stations.

Do you know if anything similar happens with food? If so, which ones are grouped together?

Food should be unique (restocking a bowl of cereal with lobster thermidor, or vice versa, just isn't right). And, if you didn't already figure it out, single servings and groupd servings are two diferent objects (guids).

Please don't PM me with questions. Post them in the appropriate thread.

Thank you so much for this it's great!

I do have 2 questions though - 1 easy 1 not so easy!

1) Would it be possible to change the number of business points added say to 15. I earn my 1st 10 the normal hard long winded way (i.e. without cheats!) then add the points when I reach rank 10 purely to get the 15 you can't earn on the business.

2) I have it set for enable reporter notification. So far I have been alerted to a reporter twice (once each at 2 different not linked in any way home businesses) and both times the reporter has been invisible. The only way to know where they are is by looking for a notebook floating in the air or one of the icon thingys showing itent to buy floating about with no one under it. This of course means my playable sims cannot intereact with the reporter. The way I have got round this is buy using the shoppers reports, looking to see what the reporter wants to buy, clicking on that item and selecting show item to [reporters name], my playable sim will then take the reporter to that item but still cannot interact with them as you cannot click on them. I then busy my playable sim(s) with dealing with all the other shoppers and hope my employee(s) who are tasked to sell do their job! My employees have so been able to interact with the invisible reporter. Is this caused by a conflict do you think? Or is there any other reason you can think of as to what is causing it?

Thank you

Wouldn't work with Seasons for me, the object was flashing green and all I could do is view it.
