Re: Retail Checkout Issue

@TheRogueMarksman When this happens, can you try pressing the "options" button to pull up the pause menu, or just pause the game using the bumper buttons to see if pausing the game for a few seconds will cause the action to be performed.

When you pause the game, you will see the thought bubbles on sims change and then it should be okay to unpause to see if the action carries out.

    I will try this solution out as soon as I am able to do so. For clarification, I ring the customer up. Then pause and wait for the que to drop into the current action status.

    @TheRogueMarksman Yes, that's exactly correct. If you have a busy store with lots of items and customers, it may just be causing too much delay. The pause may help.

    But my character will go do other things will the check out is in que. He'll sometimes go to sit or use the computer in the office. While the act is in que. Why are those acts able to be done?

    @TheRogueMarksman Sims will often queue up other things at the worst time when autonomy is on full. You can try disabling autonomy for the selected sim in the options while you are running the retail lot. This will prevent any interactions aside from retail.
