Re: Why are stalls not auto manned on public lots?

@mindybell87 

Stalls at various festivals are always manned so what is it you are paying 100 simoleons for? Placing a stall on a public lot from Manage World does not cost you anything.

    Festivals are pre installed gameplay. I am taking about stalls that a player places on a public lot.  Player placed stalls are not auto manned for example if you send your sim to visit a lot that you have built yourself and place a stall there then no it is not auto manned and you do have to pay 100 simoleons to hire a vendor if u want a vendor to appear. So the point I'm making is all stalls placed by the player should have an auto vendor so that when you visit a lot you don't need to pay for hire and then what you order on top of that.

    Afaik, that's the way it's always been. Vendor stalls placed in public areas like in San MyShuno will automatically have vendors. Stalls you place on your own built lots will not.

    I'm not sure how I would want it. Automatic or hired? Maybe have both. If I put one on my own lot, I wouldn't want a random NPC showing up every time. But on a park lot say, probably yes.

    Yes I agree it would be good to have the option, it could even be added into the settings the same way auto age is. That way you get the choice to turn it on or off. Personally I would only place these stalls on public lots i.e Parks or outside retail shops and would like them to be auto filled. As I previously mentioned I don't see why I should have to fork out 100 to hire a vendor when I'm visiting the park for a coffee say, to then have to buy the coffee. It takes away part of the enjoyment of visiting a public lot that I or you have put the time and effort into building to not be able to fully engage with the objects that you place on it without having to pay extra. Yes I know you can cheat the money back in but this is not ideal for certain game play commitments for example rags to riches, .vowing no cheats and also because when you do hire a vendors sometimes the game does not spawn them leaving you out of pocket and no closes to that coffee. We can but only ask...
