(sorry for my bad english)


I doubt it has anything with my hack, because it isn't a global hack. It doesn't override anything that already exists in the game, it only adds the new object, and the code in this hack only gets run if you actually interact with the object.

Maybe, but I'm not sure it's a good fit. I think overall business rank is a function of your individual customer's ratings. More likely would be a way to make a specific sim rate your business higher, which would, in turn, bolster you overall rank if you apply it to enough sims. Still, I'm not sure I feel the need for doing this in my game. Between using a please-me plant (either Inge's or my update, if you have Servos) and this object, it's pretty easy to get a high ranking business in very little time.

Nice idea but it wouldn't show up for me. I have all the expansion packs and no other custom content installed.

I downloaded the adjuster and read all of the instructions for how and where to install and find it in the game but it doesn't show up in the inventory.

Do you have any suggestions as to what could be wrong as so many people have used it so I know it's not a problem with the file.

Not really. Do you have any other custom content in your game?

No I have no other custom content in the Sims2 or OFB game.
When the menu comes up after the game loads I leave it disabled (although I have tried it enabled with no effect either!!)

If you disable it, it definitely won't work! You do realize this is what you would be disabling, don't you? Also, until you get at least some other content working in your game, it's likely you are doing something wrong, like putting the file in the wrong place or putting the zip file directly in downloads instead of the pacage file. You might try using the Q-Xpress installer if you can't get it to work manually, that tool does it automatically.

I have enabled the custom content as I mentioned before, other downloads which I have now got from the official EA site are working in the game but the business adjuster still is not. All downloads are in the same place in my sims folder.

Make sure you've downloaded the latest version and that you are looking in the correct place: Under decorative/sculptures. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what the problem is. Many people are using it without problems.

Ah, yes that is an idea, but you probably don't want to give employees all the gold badges because then their salary would be through the roof! You generally want your employees to only have the badges you expect them to use on the job, otherwise they become quite expensive.

What you probably want to do is use the mind control mirror to take control of the employee, then use the maxis badge juicer to give the employee just the badges you need. And double check with the employee report that they aren't ready to quit afterwards; you might need to up their salary.

I suspect you should use the mind control mirror to take control of the employee rather than the insiminator because I believe the mind control mirror will do a better job of resetting the employee back to employee status after your done. I actually have an unpublished hack that combines the best of both these hacks from a sim selecting point of view which I use, and I'll be publishing that hack later this week on MTS2.

What about the rank system of up to 10 ranks??? Can you add this menu too? Thank you! :dmille: :dmille: :dmille:

For the customer wealth, I've been studying the Whats your Wealth social (it displays wealth as one to three simoleon signs) and I believe I know how it does it:
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.

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

sorry to ask this of you, but is there any way that someone can make a hack that will stop the person at the cashier from daydreaming? My sims just stand there while the customers are waiting, often resulting in the customer throwing their bags down and my customer loyalty going down.....

You should post this idea in the global hack request forum: http://www.modthesims2.com/forumdisplay.php?f=280. This isn't my style of hack because it modifies global BHAVs, but there are others here that do this type of stuff. Lately Squinge has done a bunch of similar hacks.
