bcollins87 Original Poster Lab Assistant Join Date: Apr 2010 Posts: 60	You guys know about the General Store, Book, and Food registers introduced in WA. I wanted to make my own restaurant and place the Food Register in it but it only offers two dinners- cobbler pie and something else. The food register in Egypt had about 10 items stocked in it! Anyone know how to stock a food register with new recipes to have a nice little restaurant going? Cheers , Brandon

Also The registers will pull a random member of your town ( regardless of whether they already have a job ) to staff the tills, which is very annoying.

I agree.

Prior to creating the Register mod, there was no way to keep the registers from doing stupid things, like immigrating new sims or dragooning your local unemployed.

It was indeed most annoying.

I'm trying to create a convenience store lot, and I can't find the food register. I've used buydebug to no avail. Can someone please tell me where to find this object? Thanks so much!

Could I potentially make a world that allows these registers to sell more things? I just noticed that they seem to function differently in different worlds.

Thanks SO much! I never would've thought of looking there. You saved my sanity!

Maybe this isn't what you mean, but I think you can shift ctrl click on things to make them buyable? Because I was trying to have one of my sims sell nectar and I had to do something like that to make the nectars available in the register. Never got very far with setting up stores yet, however.

The food sold by the food register doesn't exist in the world until you buy it. I'd be surprised if food choices at registers weren't in an XML file.

Thanks. Is that like how you can't cook on a community lot except the 2 base camps?

A base camp isn't actually a community lot. It's your sims' home lot for the time of the vacation (and the other travellers belong to your household) and has an actual fridge inventory. That is what allows your sims to cook on a given lot. Community lots don't have a household belonging to them nor a fridge inventory, so your sims aren't allowed to cook there. That is without mods.
