Re: Created retail lot is not functioning! No Employees, No Customers,and No NPCs

Hi @LysimiaWonders 

I checked your lot and I believe I know what the issue is.

The many mannequins you have seem to prevent the customers from spawning. Once I deleted them all, they came without issues.

To me it seems that the game counts the mannequins towards the 20 Sim per lot maximum, preventing anyone to come cause there already more than 20 Sims on the lot (the mannequins).

I do not know if this is intended or a bug.

There's two things you can do:

  • Get MCCC and make the max per lot bigger.
  • Remove some of the mannequins.

I'll try to get some info.

    Oh wow!!!!! I had an odd feeling that could have been it. I had a sims uncapper and removed it thinking it was causing the action queue lag which was actually the LIN Z Speaker (which is odd). I should have paid more attention. I will most definitely use the MCC. Those mannequins are needed for realism lol! Good thing it was something simple!!! I honestly didn't want to believe the issue was the number of mannequins on the lot. Thank you Crinrict! You are very much a hero in my book.

    Let me know if it works with MCCC. 

    As an alternative, maybe you could ask the modder that made the > 10 mannequin mod you're using if there's a way that they could adjust the mod so the mannequins DON'T count towards that max.

    I will most definitely do that. I am testing the lot with MCC and it seems to work.
