Savvier Seller Parking Spaces

Post by Orange_Plumbob » December 30th, 2023, 2:47 am

First off, many thanks for this mod (and all the mods hosted here), as they are a huge reason why I am still enjoying the game all these years later!

I have a question regarding the following statement in the Overwatch release/updates notes:

”Vehicles parked on "Savvy Seller" parking spaces are now exempt from cleanup”

Does this also include the Savvier Seller parking stalls? I recently had my sim open a car dealership using these and I can’t quite figure out if the Savvier Seller versions are exempt or not. It seems most of the vehicles stay put on the Savvier Seller parking stalls after Overwatch runs, except for the motorcycles. The motorcycles are 100% of the time cleaned up (aka disappear with no option to restock). All other vehicles on the stalls stay put with the exception of possibly the store fixer upper car and the Late Night buydebug $15k car. I’m not sure on these two though and need to do more play testing as it only happened once or twice with these two and then they stayed at other times.

If the Savvier Seller stalls are not being exempted, would it be at all possible to add these to the list? Also, would it be possible to add the Savvier Seller rugs to the list so that mopeds (which can only be sold on top of kickstands over rugs since they don’t place into parking stalls) won’t be removed when Overwatch runs? I know that’s asking for the moon and the stars, so I completely understand if this is just too much work to add. My sim and her car dealership thank you for your consideration ;)

Afraid I have no idea about the motorcycle/moped question as I never got around to using Savvy Seller (modded or otherwise) in the first place.

But I did want to make sure you were aware that the version of Overwatch currently in beta testing, which is fine for all to use, does contain an enhancement to exempt Savvier Seller parking slots from routine cleanups.

That's awesome news, thank you so much for the info!! I will download and give it a try. You are probably wise to not have used Savvy Seller, as every time I do it sends me down a rabbit hole of frustration and disappointment. Like a moth to the flame, I keep coming back to it trying to somehow make it even a fraction like it was in S2. Never tried selling the vehicles before, and have only used a fraction of the vehicles in regular gameplay (I don't think I've ever even used the motorcycles or any of the mopeds except for the WA one) so figured this would be a good way to remind myself to incorporate more variety into my game. Who knows though, after setting up this lot and dealing with all the routing issues, restocking glitches, lack of customers, etc., I may never want to see any of the vehicles ever again lol.

Edit: Gave the update a try with one round through an Overwatch cycle, and the great news is that all the vehicles, with the exception of mopeds, stayed put!

The bad news is that the Savvier Seller version (both original and most recent update) of the parking spots are basically useless as they spawn the restock tag in the middle of the parking spot where sims cannot route to :'(

If I use the move objects cheat and place the restock tag just ever so slightly in front of the yellow and black parking stripe, the sim will then be able to restock, but the vehicle will of course then spawn off center of the parking spot and needs to be picked up and re-centered. So there are some workarounds for an actively run and owned lot (although a major pain), but not so much for a non-actively run lot.

More testing and here is how it currently looks to be working (with the newest OW beta patch 123e and the most current (V5) Savvier Seller mod):

Cars: Exempt if placed on SS parking space OR SS X-Large rug (and possibly other sizes of rugs but I only tested the one size. Note for anyone interested in selling cars via rugs- in order for the restock option to show up on rugs for cars moved onto them via MOO, the rug size has to be either X-Large or Double X-Large. Anything smaller and the restock option remains grayed out).

Motorcycles: Exempt if placed on SS parking space. Not exempt if placed on rugs.

Mopeds: Not exempt, and does not show up as buyable if moved onto SS parking space via MOO.

For anyone interested in a solution to the SS parking space restocking issue (where sims have a route failure when restocking the SS parking spaces), I was able to find a solution here: chatterbox/topic2475/o10?sid=ff05372036 ... 1e1c54315e
