Much appreciated!  Thank you!  Kiss, kiss, kiss!

I really wanted this fix because I can't remember the last time I went out on a date at a restaurant, and while my date was trying to talk to me, I collected all the dirty dishes from the surrounding tables and headed for the kitchen sink.  

I know that they're only Sims - but sometimes, just sometimes, it nice to have a touch of realism in the game.

Is this only for OWNERS of businesses and not all Sims?

No it stops all sims unless its an employee who is supposed to do dishes.

I ve installed 4 of your new hacks yesterday including this one
When my sims came to his business lot and got out  - I had to reset him every 4 sec because there are an error message blocked my game - Stack object is out of range.

When I deleted this hack and "no more screaming at locked doors" - it comes OK now.

What could be a conflict or so?

Where you playing with testing cheats on? if so in "my documents\ea games\the sims 2\logs" there will be a filename begining with ObjectError?.txt it should be the newest file if you could attach it to your reply I could figure out what the cause may be.
 
edit: If you used no more screaming at locked doors & you have Objects-no-route-fail-anim.package they will conflict.

Very nice again!

[MissDoh]

Just to make sure.  Would it stop my Sim from cleaning the dishes if I would send it on a downtown restaurant community lot which is not owned by it or any other Sim?

Or does it apply on own community lot and only apply to the Sims that owns it and its employee while the owner is there?

Cool thanks for the update to this needed hack.

Yes that other file does conflict it works with ep3 & does the same thing(a different way) but the tree version for that one is older than the tree version from EP3.

Humm does anyone know?

And if it does not do that right now, would it be possible to make one that will apply on unowned community lots but not at their home.  Thanks

This hack only effects owned lot/shops.

[Ms.Perception]

Thank you for the new version! It was driving me crazy. But I think you already knew that. :cheers:

Thank you Squinge for updating this hack.

I'm wondering if the 'noautonomousdishesAllLots.zip(never cleanup dishes)' will prevent my sims to autonomously clean dishes when they're at home. :smt120

However, if so, I still prefer having to tell them to clean dishes at home, rather to be unable to stop them from doing the dishes when they're in a restaurant. :mrgreen:
