[BH] Small Business: Customers only use floor the kiosk is on

It’s so exciting to be able to create unique businesses with multiple floors that offer different types of services, but so far it seems that sims will only patronize the floor that has the kiosk in it. I created a tattoo shop with a wellness center underneath it and I just love it so much. But it’s frustrating that customers avoid the floor that doesn’t have the kiosk.

At first I had it upstairs in the tattoo parlor and I got four tattoo requests the first day, but my wellness studio was a ghost town. Then I moved my kiosk downstairs for the second day and the wellness center was full of customers, but not a single person entered the tattoo parlor all day. I tried putting the kiosk outside but people just seemed confused and sort of lingered around it.

I would’ve been fine with just keeping it as two separate businesses owned by different sims, but then they can’t both be open at once, which sort of defeats the purpose. I saw online that others were struggling with this even when the different services were offered on the same floor but in different rooms, so I’m really hoping this can be addressed in a future update.

    My sim just opened up her tattoo parlor, and basically it's a cafe set up on the ground floor and then tattooing upstairs. If my sim offers tattoos to sims it works no problem but if she tends the table they NEVER ask for one. Obviously this is SUPER ANNOYING and it would be great if this was fixed. I think it has to do with the table not being on the same level as them, but that shouldn't matter.

    Thank you, I’m still pretty new to all of this, especially playing with mods. I have just removed them and the thumb file per the instructions and left the business open all day and had the same issue. Tons of customers downstairs but not a single one entered the upstairs.

    I have the same issue. I have a shop with two tattoo tables. One on the ground floor and one on the top floor. 

    The one on the ground floor works fine for both my sim and the employees. But the one on the top floor only works if my sim offers tattoos to sims.
