NPC Staff in stores not restocking items?
I have made a grocery store which has a lot of items, I don't own the store but there are plenty of staff working there automatically. I see them clean or help sell items, but I don't see them rest...

I've been getting frustrated with NPC retail employees. Apparently you need to criticize and/or appraise them for their skills to go up. Otherwise look through the list of available employees and hire the ones with the best stats. 3 stats, Check-out customer purchases, Cleaning, and Restock items. I've been mainly using my played characters to run the store. Plus you have to assign them tasks. Focused and Confident aura items like those signs help keep them and customers busy.
But when you don't own or run the store like me, there is no option to hire staff or increase their skill. The staff just appear in the building when you set it as 'retail'. A bit like how a restaurant can run on its own if you set it as a 'restaurant', there for there's no way to control staff/uniform/menus etc as they just appear randomly.
Oh I see what you mean. Completely NPC retail shop. Hmm..."EliasVersace;c-17736255" wrote:
Yeah, they seem pretty broken. Employees also don't really follow commands unless you use a mod to give them an extra push (Little MsSam's Retail Overhaul). And they don't show up in the preferred uniforms.. The GTW retail system leaves a lot to be desired imo. I really hope they update it someday, I think it's one of the worst functioning systems in the game.
Does that fix NPC retail shops also? I'll check out her mod! I already got a bunch of hers. Like live-in business is pretty cool! She's excellent! :smiley:
I think it doesn't fix that, unfortunately. But it has some other really neat features, like infinite baked goods, fruits, fish and pet treats that you can buy as a customer when visiting an NPC retail shop, by clicking on the fridges from GTW. Restocking won't be necessary if you use that technique - just place a few of the GTW fridges in your grocery store to make it functional, and add some other foods on shelves as decoration (don't mark them for sale). That's the workaround I use. Works great in combination with Srsly Sims' Complete Cooking Overhaul, that adds all kinds of realistic food packaging to your game. Add some of the Snowy Escape vending machines and you have a pretty cool grocery store.
