Ideas
Just an update to this. While the new lot for the comedy club doesn't have Johnny running off lot, the problem with him doing customer activities is still there. But only after teaching a class. I keep going to this venue as a customer because if i have a character that needs to level up charisma, this is bar none the fastest way to do that.... but only if you get Johnny to teach the class rather than Felix because he has the skill maxed (Felix is level 7, so not bad, but... not 10) and also the Super Mentor reward trait. So you go in there, and Johnny performs comedy while Felix does a lecture, it goes this way every time. And this would be totally fine, if i did not want Johnny *specifically* for a class so i could crank out an entire charisma level in a night. So I reset the board so Johnny can teach a lecture, and Felix goes off to do his other things. Johnny teaches the class as he is supposed to, does the lecture, and mentors when asked. the second the class completes though, he goes off the rails. he goes to watch the performances, he attends lectures (for comedy and charisma, which he has maxed) he orders drinks, and eats way too much food. This is the one that made me know for sure he was doing customer activities, I added a new customer activity to eat food, because i had started selling candy as a side deal just cus (I may have been trying to get some customers hysterical with shocked candy for..... you know) so Johnny has some leftovers in his fridge, and tonight, he kept going to the fridge over and over and over again. as soon as he was done eating one plate, he'd head back to get another, and this only started after I added that customer activity to eat food. I'm just glad he's a ghost so can't gain weight. But before the class starts he's fine, doing comedy and stuff, just when a class completes that he goes haywire.
And I did further testing today. I went back and had Felix teach a class. and made sure to do no resetting of objects or sims, and tried to leave the employees as autonomous as possible aside from asking for mentoring and a little bit of chatting necessary to get the class to complete. I stayed there for 14 hours straight. Johnny performed comedy almost non stop for 10 hours, took a little break now and then to chat and clean, then gave a couple lectures. Completely acceptable, and within his task list, he was perfect, aside from going to the wrong microphone (i get it is just that they go to whichever is closest, it's just that i have a stage for a reason). Felix taught the class, it went well, (tho i did get less skill gain...) and then when it ended....
He was at the fridge.
He watched Johnny do standup (and got scolded by Layne and Xochitl for bullying when he jeered him, lol)
ordered drinks at the bar.
watched Bernard play piano. None of these are in his task list. They are in the customer task list. So this seems to be a separate bug, and I can make a new thread if needed, where once either the business owner or an employee finishes teaching a class, they begin doing customer tasks.
