Running a business owned by a playable sim
I haven't played OFB much, just reintroducing myself to it.
I want to be able to havea pet shop run by a playable sim, and have it visited by other playable sims, from their point of view. That is, I want to be at the customer's house and send them to the pet shop to buy a pet (although can be anything, doing pet shop atm).
- I made an old lady (Mrs Pett) and moved her into her house.
- I built a pet shop on a community lot.
- Mrs Pett bought the community lot and then went to visit it.
- Mrs Pett set the price of all items in the shop and then hired an employee (playable Mrs Snodgrass)
- Mrs Snodgrass set to work as a cashier
- From Mrs Pett's point of view, customers (townies) came by and bought up a load of stuff while Mrs S worked
- Saved the game
- Went to the Snodgrass household. Carpool came at 8 to pick up Mrs S (she was previously unemployed but the game now marks her job as employee - that's cool)
- Mr Snodgrass wanted to take his son to said pet shop to buy a pet. Clicked on him, and asked him to walk to community lot
BUT the pet shop is greyed out and he can't go!
Is my scenario not possible? If it is, how can I make it work, so that Master Snodgrass can get a dog?
Thanks!
