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.

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...

Totally agree with you.  I've made food courts etc and always a shame that there aren't any vendors and it requires our sims to hire them

This is a really good point. It constantly annoys me that when I create my own food court somewhere it isn't staffed.

I've redeveloped Newcrest with artisan stores and bars and food stalls but the stalls don't serve food unless the visiting Sim pays a fee and hires the staff. 

Honestly I don't see any real problem here with paying 100 simoleons. I assume you're placing these food stalls because you want to learn the recipes, supplied by the various stalls ? 

I am capped out on 9,999,999 simoleons, no cheats no mods.  Earning money is the easiest part of this game.

If I may offer suggestions to the struggling poor people ? - Don't have kids right away, they will consume a lot of your time ( assuming you're trying to raise them right :P ).

1 - Try starting out as a creative type ( Creative, Perfectionist ) doing paintings and work on purely Abstract when you finally unlock them. I suggest joining the Painting career and work towards picking up the Marketable and Creative Visionary Traits as soon as possible.

2 - Visit the spice festival and harvest the dragon fruit, plant as many as you can and harvest / plant / sell the fruit to your hearts desire.

3 - IF.. you want to work on your Baking and IF ... you have the expansions / packs for the Ground floor Entrepreneurs Table or the Come and get it street store - sell here at a 300% mark up

Also these Tables allow you to sell any Food you make. The highest selling food I found was the Lava Bundt Cake ( Baking lvl 10). To sell your food, firstly " pick up serving " until all serves are seperately stored in your inventory then place them all into the Table's inventory. the Lava cakes were selling for me between 2.9k - 3.4k simoleons per serving.

Once you have enough revenue coming in complete the Fabulously Wealthly Aspiration.

This will allow you to earn simo's based on your standing cash every week... it will grow and grow until you are earning hundreds of thousands of simo's every week

I hope this washes away any money troubles you ever have again.

Gluck.

For me it's not the cost involved as my Sims are always prosperous but it's trying to create new, vibrant and functional community lots. For example roller/ice rinks and bowling alleys with food stalls, etc. Some of my festivals in the City Living world are bugged and crash on arrival. Newcrest doesn't have that problem so I've tried to give that a similar vibe as well as using up space and bringing life into an otherwise basic world. As well as that, staff don't always appear when hired and the fee is paid.
