Test for retail lot

I want a testset to fail if the lot is a retail lot. I have discovered:



False

But that won't do it. The test will fail if it's an open retail lot, but it will also fail if it's not a retail lot at all, which isn't the way round I want it. Is there a way to negate the entire test instead of the is_open being false, if I can change that to True and then add a negate to the whole thing so it fails if it is a retail lot at all.

Is there no simple testset for lot type? I couldn't find one.

    Ok I finally "located" the location test lol. I am trying to tweak these test things so everyone stops autonomously chatting in retail stores - at the moment it take ages to stop my owners chatting together so I can direct them to serve the customers. I have the following code in all the autonomous social test sets I could find - eg:




    	
    		
    			
    				
    					
    						
    							
    								True
    								105157
    							
    						     
    					
    				
    			
    			
    				
    					
    						24087
    					
    				
    			
    			
    				
    					
    						24088
    					
    				
    			
    			
    				
    					True
    					14632



    But it doesn't seem to work, they still rush over to chat to each other. Any clues?

    Are you sure that is the test that is applied to all interactions you want to inhibit? Maybe the Sims are still running non-friendly socials.

    I did the equivalent for mean, funny, mischevous and the two romantics. But only the ones ending "SocialsAutonomous" so I don't know if non-autonomous stuff gets pushed onto the sims to force them to interact with each other (it hadn't been my plan to stop the player instructing a sim to socialise in stores). But basically you reckon the way I edited the testset looked correct?

    Try to tune "Test Autonomous" on sim_Chat, for example. That should be more drastic effective.

    I believe there is a Location test that includes a sub-test for venue type. Retail is its own type, so you should be able to test for that.

    Well I am a bit confused because as it has

    False

    I assumed this particular file would not be relevant to autonomous chat?

    And it occurred to me I wondered if maybe the interaction was not totally autonomous (after all I had been keeping their social fully green with the mailbox cheat) so I wondered if maybe they were being pushed into finding someone to chat with so it wasn't autonomous or player-directed but actually situation-directed.

    There is a StaticCommodity and associated Buff named Socialize As Backup which I have always presumed is used to push auto-sims to socialize with one another if the AI cannot find some other proper action for them to do. Maybe this is what you're seeing?

    Yes that would make sense. Maybe I can find a way to destroy that on the retail lots.
