This is amazing! It's a humongous leap towards being able to having a OFB for the Sims 3 ;D

I have been trying for months to do something like this but never could get it to work. I'm glad you figured it out. :lovestruc

Wow Very impressive. As usual with your mods, adds a whole new set of gameplay possibilities. Thanks! Hope you're successful in getting autonomous interactons working in the next version... that would truly make it an OFB replacement.

That's great, really, it's really good! Does this mod include translations for "foreign" players?

Glad to hear you guys like this. Please report any bugs you find so I can fix them. So far except for the two I mentioned I have found none.

timoram26: The language files are in the package if you want to translate them for yourself. Just download s3pe, open the file with it, click our language STBL and press the edit STBL button. I'm not going to put translated version of my mods any more because it's really hard to keep up with everything, and if I do changed that require to add or edit the strings, you have to redo all the languages. So my mod will be English/Finnish only but with the added language files so people can translate to their own languages if they want.

I just gave this a cursory trial with Twallan's The Register, just to see if they'll work. So far everything seems okay.

This is awesome. It really opens up the neighborhood. I loved OFB too, and I think this manages to catch the spirit of it very well. It's definitely changing the actual layout of my little village.

Holy cow, that is really impressive. Sounds like it might be worthwhile to get WA and Ambitions now.

Thank you so very much, I also loved OFB and was so disappointed when I saw what they had included in Ambitions. I really expected to be able to run my own shop again and for my gardener sims to sell their produce to customer sims in their own shop on the farm, but no, they wouldn't do me that favour. :P
I'm gonna try your mod asap! Thank you very much, and I can't wait to see where you're going with this!

So, combining This mod, Twallan's Mod, and the ability to actually purchase a shop and upgrade it, we can finally had shops (as setting up a new register and assigning employees, as well as controlling what is actually sold. this is AMAZING NOW! Something so small it seems now possible, no thanks to EA.

Greetings from Germany. =) Does anyone have a tutorial, how to make a shop? My fav addon was Open for Business and I want my sims to have a small supermarket at home. Is it possible? I downloaded this mod here (thanks a lot) and made a new shop with a register (community lot). Now I want my sim to sell the fruits and vegetables there and I don't know how to get it work. When I say "shop from inventory" - it is empty, not showing any stuff from my inventory.

You could mod a register to be solely made for auto shopping from inventory alone.
Use that as a test to see if the neighborhood buys from it.

nimrosh1x: If you are using the old CC folders, then I would say your framework has failed you, if you are using the new way with ambition then maybe your resource file is not set up proper.

The sim which control by computer will buy thing from the casher?
I did not sell any object for few "sim days" , while the consignment store sold a lot of things for me

rickycheng: The interaction is not autonomous, you have to direct the sim to use this. Plus this has nothing to do with the normal consignement option, it's completely seperate functrionality.

is there a mod that allows you to put anything from the buy catalog into an inventory? Would be great if we could create a furniture store!
