Default OFB question
When my sims checks up on her lot she learns that her business made a 801 ( or another number ) today. Does this mean how much money her business made ? Her business said that she made a 11 today

Yes. It decays every day you don't go in personally, unless you have nobusinessdecay installed.

Yes, that is how much money she made. Leaving things to a manger are pretty useless without mods.

Which mods do you recommend ? I couldn’t find any good ones when I was searching for them.

I use Pescado's "anti-business decay". As long as your owner phones in every day, your profits should stay steady.

Pescado also has OFB Fixes and Business Runs You, neither of which I don't personally use, but I know others do (instead I use a bunch of Simwardrobe's mods). He has No Playable Shoppers, too, but you don't need that if you use BoilingOil's Simulated Sales or Simwardrobe's Playables Don't Go Broke + Bandatron Playables Don't Go Broke or Squinge's No Unwanted Stuff in Inventory.

If you want your playables to visit each other's businesses:
Pescado's No Reassign
Squinge's Hire Family Members

Finally, there's also Simler90's Business Mod and Townie Budget Mod; these are big mods (especially the Business Mod) that attempt to provide fixes or change gameplay.

Note: Pescado's mods can be found here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/s.../topic,7.0.html (or, more directly, here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/ffs/) Pick your latest EP and download from that folder. And there's a big word doc with descriptions of Pescado's mods linked on the first post here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/s...ic,14444.0.html.

Note: Simwardrobe is gone, but Paladin's archive is available here: https://simfileshare.net/folder/87829/ thanks to Bulbizarre. I believe there are text files in the downloads, but if not, you can look up "simwardrobe.com" on the wayback machine; most pages are archived and you should be able to screenshot a description.

Anyway, these are just the ones I know about and/or have in my game (I don't have all of these in game, though my download folder is a huge 19 GB. ) Well, except for mods for adult-type businesses, but that's a whole different discussion for another thread. And, actually Squinge has a bunch more business related mods, but they felt too cheaty--in fact I didn't link to those at all. So if you're looking for mods like always get good reviews, no bad makeovers, no customer's throwing their bags down, instant badges, employees don't quit, free employees, get back to work is always positive, or mods that prevent certain socials while the shop is open, etc., they are out there (and a lot are by Squinge), I just didn't link them.
