There is/are some problem when I use Professional Bar?

Post by bn4mtyg8d » October 31st, 2019, 6:56 pm

When I have built my custom Dive Bar (Dive Bar Community Lot) and bought it and gave role of mixologist, the option I have is Moonlighting stuffs, even when the sim had level 10 Mixology.

So, I placed same bar inside the house where my active sim lives.

Viola, it now shows option to make Drinks (regular drinks & mood drinks), "Create a New Drink"?

What's wrong with me doing my Custom Dive Bar (Dive Bar Community Lot)?

Did I do something wrong with it?

Cause I clicked the "Professional Par Dive Edition" while my active sim was working at the Dive Bar working time (11am to 3:16am) and tried to see same option but it didn't show ones at my Custom Dive Bar (Dive Bar Community Lot) and it only have option to "Moonlight as Mixologists", but the same one in my residential house shows options?

An inactive sim now has the Role Sim assignment on the community lot bar? You can't make drinks, other than by moonlighting, at a bar that has a Role Sim already assigned to it because potentially the two of you will collide. They require essentially exclusive access to the bar service side of the object.

Or are you still trying to use an actively being played sim as the assigned Role Sim?

I made my active sim as mixologist using professional dive bar object in my custom dive bar community lot.
And I placed two of them so my active sim can use it and assign another for inactive sim or npc or what ever game uses for mixologist.
They can use the bar objects fine only thing is my active sim can do moonlight as mixologist tending bar.
And for 2nd object, the mixologist that got assigned doing nothing it seems or doing something like moonlight stuffs also.

P.S.
Maybe you or someone can teach me how to run Dive Bar that I owned, cause I removed all the roles from Professional Bar objects and disabled assignments, but the objects still only let me do Moonlight as Mixologist even my sim has mixology skill of 10.

It's possible that I had this wrong and actively being played sims just cannot use professional bars on community lots they own in the way they can on residential lots. I don't quite remember it that way, maybe one of icarus' mods is providing this functionality if I am remembering this right at all, but I wouldn't be able to test it out until a bit later. But anyway, if you want to try again in meantime, perhaps delete the two bars, place one new one, and immediately disallow any kind of Role Sim assignment on it. Can your sim then use it to make some trays of drinks?

When I said prior that actively played sims cannot be Role Sims because things become unstable, I meant that various things can go wrong unexpectedly besides their assignments just disappearing.

If you don't already have it, this the mod by icarus that I was thinking may have been confusing my memory. But I'm pretty sure the point of his mod was to extend professional bar interaction to the regular juice bars should the player want that kind of flexibility, not change the way in which sims interact with the pro bars in the first place.

There really isn't any way to "run" a bar though. We can own it, we can use it to entertain the neighborhood, and we can sit back and let the Register assigned inactive sims staff the bar objects, but it's not really a business that we can run in the classic sense. One way to make some money on these venues though is to use the current version of Nraas GoHere or EA's Barrier to Entry ticket machine to charge an entry fee to customers rather than expecting them to order enough drinks to collect anything significant. And of course there is the weekly income that comes by way of the real estate investment itself.

Edit 3: I just ran the game and click the "Professional Bar Dive Edition".
And Guess what?
^&%^IOU(*IUOL, "IT WORKED"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now there is option that says, "Make..."
This is when my active doesn't have any mixologist roles or no assigned inactive sim/npc as mixologist.
Now I'm going to test out what I originally tried.

Edit 4: Ok, what I said in last sentence in the "Edit 3" works.
- My active playing sim is now has Mixologist Role for "Professional Bar Dive Edition", when I click it, I still get "Make..." option and it let me make several drinks that bar object suppose to be capable of make of, the same stuffs that I could do it in my residential house lot.
- Thanks for telling me to try use that Icarus mod!!!!!!!!!
- I knew that existed for long time, I didn't bother use it cause until I wrote this new thread today, or what I wrote in my other thread, never bothered to try to do something like owning Dive Bar community lots and use Bar objects.

Edit 5: Customer sim came ordered regular drink on my bar and my active sim is now automatically making the "Regular Drink"
- Yay~~~~ Finally~~~~.
