Custom Objects on OfB Shelves

By default, custom object meshes are not placeable on the shelf sets that come with Open for Business; they just "fall to the floor" under the shelves and do not pop into place like Maxis objects. This can be frustrating, as it appears the only option for those items is to place them on side tables or the floor, which is an extremely inefficient use of your store's space.

To fix this problem, the very talented Numenor has created a hack that allows you to place all custom objects on shelves.

KNOWN BUG: it has been reported by many users that sometimes - when a customer buys the item, or when your sims restock the shelves - the restock sign is misplaced (it will appear at a corner of the lot). This happens more frequently if you use any of these hacks (the "More" version makes the bug occur more frequently than the "Less" version). But the "restock sign misplacing" bug has been reported also by users that did NOT install these hacks. From the reports that I've collected, there is a Maxis bug that causes the restock signs to be "teleported" to a corner of your lot, especially if you:

  • place the objects using the move_objects cheat;
  • move or remove the restocks signs using the normal "hand" tool (you should use the "hand" only in Business Build Mode, i.e. selecting the "price tag" icon in the top-right panel)
