Hi, scumbumbo. Thanks for this. Just a quick question. Which resource file is this mod using? In other words, will it conflict with a "no autonomous computer games" mod?

I quickly checked for you; it's 0xE882D22F-0x00000003-0x000000000001C051 computer_BuyRetailLot.

@scumbumbo , can you add this info to the upload post please? That is indeed good to know for downloaders -- thank you!

Thank you so much for this! The constant buy retail lot spam at the library was driving me crazy and I had no idea what was causing it. The fact that Sims are even allowed to autonomously buy a retail lot in the first place makes absolutely no sense! Thanks again for this timely fix until an official one is implemented. :)

Plasticbox noted the resource above, but no it shouldn't conflict with any other "no autonomy" mods unless they're doing the same thing already. I don't think any others are, but if they do then you don't really need this one!

No problem, bugged me too! And what really made no sense to me was that NPCs were triggering it!

Wow, I really thought my sim had a problem I mean she would run through sims to get to a computer to buy a retail store. Thanks for the intervention

Really?! Shows how often I visit the library with my Sims. I'll download it now so that I don't have to come across this at all.

This is a great mod. Just another thing that EA overlooked.

I am doing the same as Menaceman44 and downloading as prevention. Wow, sneaky EA.

Thanks for this mod. I too thought I kept hitting a key on my keyboard that took me to the buy a retail store screen. Well done with this.

I removed it from my mods folder and had a sim go to the library for a good five or six hours and the bug did not occcur. Looks like they fixed it (and I figured they would as it was a really annoying bug that was easily fixed).
