Ideas
Just leaving a me too comment. I set up a business in Oasis Springs, on Johnny Zest's lot cus, well, Johnny is the business owner. It's a comedy club now. He offers classes in Comedy, Charisma, Dancing, Selvadorian Culture, (he took a vacation) and Thanatology. (he um.... kinda sorta died of laughter... he is exploring his new circumstances)
One time i took a class with another character on this same lot and it was a roaring success, I think it was comedy. Went great. got gold easily. Then, I have this other character who i am doing a sort of archaeology thing with so i figured, why not take advantage of that random Selvadorian Culture class at the comedy club before i head off on vacation? Well. first, I had to reset him as he was performing because if i tried asking for a class as he was at the microphone, the action would instantly cancel. I think asking for a class should cancel the current action if they are doing a longer action like performing a routine or song or something. Then there was another lecture up on the board, and I had to erase it myself before he would start lecturing. The class would start but he would just stand there for a bit before wandering off because the wrong board was up. Reloaded, (had saved just before in case of a problem) so i didn't lose the money on a failed class, erased the board myself, and tried again, this time he started lecturing. But then as soon as he was done the lecture, he was off, floated clear across the map to go harvest random plants (not even the ones in his garden, just... in the world) and then began fishing. He hates fishing, it is literally one of his dislikes. I called him over, but then as soon as he got close he started to wander way again so i called him over again and got him trapped in a conversation, so he would stay.
But like, way more trouble than it should have been to get him to stay in his own club, they should be locked to the lot, no exceptions, anything beyond the lot boundaries should not be able to grab their attention, especially if it is not a business activity. I gave Johnny a full slate of activities, from chatting with customers, to perfomring comedy, to cleaning, to lectures and classes, he had PLENTY to do within the club. The other employees did their jobs except the bartender (random townie) who never showed up for some reason, I had a look around the neighbourhood just now, in case she wandered off too, but can't find her, i will have to check to see if neighbourhod stories killed her off or something, but she was just, not there, at all. Bernard and Felix showed up and were doing great tho, and did stay put. Felix even did a charisma lecture (which uses the same board as Selvadorian Culture so he didn't have to erase) autonomously while Johnny was off wandering the neighbourhood. And the situation where multiple classes can be held at the same white board, the situation with the existing board preventing the lecture in the current class was frustrating, they should be able to autonomously erase and put up a new one at least.
edit - been spying on it some more (advantages of being a werewolf) and Felix did erase the board to start a dancing lecture, so I am not sure why Johnny would not do that. meanwhile Johnny comes and goes, but he is not doing any of his assigned business tasks. no comedy, no cleaning, no lectures. he mostly just watches Bernard playing the piano when he is in the club. It's like he's forgotten what his tasks are. He was doing them at the beginning but not since i did the class.
edit 2, i switched back to Johnny and yes, my bartender had died. But hey that fits the theme, I'll just have to keep up strengthening her bond. so just clarifying, that was not a bug, she'd just been claimed by Neighborhood Stories.
