@Cher64 Thanks I like the Casino a lot too. I looked for slot machines for a long time until I found the High Roller's Project here on MTS.

Here is my Version of SimBowlLanes. I basically took the Maxis building and added a second floor so that I could have my Tents and a Office like I like to have in my Businesses. It is very simple and straitforward and it makes a good net profit fairly easily.

I hope that everyone is enjoying this look at Ashley's Businesses.

I will post the last one of Ashley's next time, most likely on Friday.

Thanks all, I appreciate everyone's comments.

I had a couple of my Sims buy a Crypt 'O Night Club as I like the basic Maxis Design a lot though of course I always have a second floor with mine, thus there is more than one Crypt 'O Night Club in my Game.

This is Ashley's Crypt 'O Night Club, I hope that you like.

OK this is the fifth and last one of Ashley Huffington's Businesses.

I have included links for all of the main CC items previously, so if someone wants to set up their club like mine, look at the other Businesses by Ashley. As always I use a common set of Objects Mods, for that list see Ashley's BowlLanes.

I thought you all might like to see Ashley's family so here they are if you want to see them.



Next I will be showing you all what Malcolm Landgraab's Businesses look like in my Game.

Thanks I like to have my employees wear something I think is appropiate. Lately I have been doing my employee's clothes differently as I have been using the clothingtool.package from MATY to change their clothes to what ever I like. This way I avoid the bug in OFB when one has an employee in uniform and their make up or beards disapear and their faces change.

This is Malcolm's Electronics, I changed the name slightly and I added several floors to the basic shop.

I use the Automatic Cash Register from Simlogical and I found the Mac computers in the Apple Store Set here on MTS, by pacotacoplayer. Not shown but I do have them on the shelves are the RC Electronics by SimWardrobe.

This is basically the Original Electronics Store owned by Malcolm, with additonal floors added and with additional electronics added.

Next I will be showing you all Malcolm's version of Papaya Regime the clothing store.

Your Sims seem to like running bussiness, and you have some nice custom ones (I'm still thinking about the one with the beds, neat idea, neat idea).

I've never been much into OFB, I don't know, I guess I'm not good at managing them?

@Amura Oh me and my Sims love running Businesses, sometimes the businesses are simple with mostly Maxis stuff and sometimes they might have a lot of CC, sometimes I sell stuffs, sometimes just some kind of service. I do use some mods that help some, but otherwise I just run the business myself. I started out with out any mods that help with businesses though, so I know to do it without any sort of modding.

If you want I can help you get started with one or more businesses, just PM me with details and questions. I am here most everyday.

One of several things that I discovered that the Sim Blender can do is make Sims 2 Servos look like Androids, Love this feature along with a lot of others about the Sim Blender. I put a copy of it at any location that I am going to be going with my Sims and all of the houses belonging to my Sims, if it is not there it is because I have not gotten around to going to that location with any of my Sims.

@Amura I like to help so do not hestitate to ask, if you want I can recommend some mods that that help...not the business runs you one from MATY though, too much automation for me with that one.

Anyway I am taking a short break from the Sim Businesses and showing you all my Grunt Family of Strangetown.



We start out our look at the Grunt Family with Gwendolyn Ottomas Grunt giving birth.




Oh Look The Baby is Green!


Who is The Father? Not Tank Grunt, the man she is married to that is for sure.


Gwendolyn names her Alien baby boy Gwynn.

Those expecting that General Buzz will go crazy will be disappointed, because the General has a couple of Aliens that are Sisters that he is in love with, can anyone guess who they are?

So Anyway it is time for a Party for No Particular Reason...Just to have a Party.



Sooner than you realize it is time for Gwynn's First Birthday and he is having a Party during which he becomes a Toddler.


Gwynn's Resemblence to the FitzHugh Alien Clan was remarked upon and he is now officially known as Gwynn FitzHugh.

Of course Gwendolyn works right away on teaching her son to walk, she wants to make sure he grows up well.



Break for some Potty Training



Break for food, Kid needs to eat after all.



I don't show Gwynn Sleeping, but he does get to sleep in between being taught something.

Back to teaching Gwynn to Walk



Some more Potty Training of Gwynn



Showing you some of Gwendolyn Teaching Gwynn to Talk...didn't take as many Pictures this time.





This is it for Now. More on the Grunt Family soon. I hope everyone likes this look at the Grunts.

I will Let you all know who Gwynn's Biological Father is sometime soon.

I love little Gwynn! The party looked fun, I like the way the General spent a lot of time talking to a certain alien!

Nice businesses, how do you manage with having multiple businesses? I notice that you have managers, so I guess you only have to get the owner to check in every few days. Is there a reason why you have some of your employees overpaid? I always keep mine on fair!

Lovely pictures @lordtyger9 I always like to see what your sims are up to!

@simsample I just love getting the 5 Businesses to Level 10 thing and I really like running them afterward also, I can manage because I like doing it I guess is the best explanation. I have some of my Employees over paid, because then they take less breaks and work harder. Also if I am making a lot of money I can afford to pay them more.

I love SimWardrobe's OFB-Wage-Adjuster it makes setting the wages of the employees a lot easier as I can set the wages with it and I don't have to go to the employee and interact with them.

The General really does like that particular Alien and he pays attention to her autonomously. I like Parties as I just let everyone do whatever they want to do except for making the birthday boy or girl use the cake.

OK Back to the Grunts.



Now we have Buck Grunt's wife, Allegra giving Birth. I think Buck might be wondering did she get to know one of those Aliens a little too closely as well?








Well! No Alien Baby Here!



Renee decides to try to do a come back and get a job in the Athletic Career again.

Gwynn gets Potty Trained at last.





Yay Gwendolyn got Gwynn ready for his upcoming Birthday.



OK that is it for this part of the Grunts life.

More on the Next Day.

How long are your play sessions at each business usually? How I tend to play is that I have the business owner work too, and employees usually get sent home when they are tired. I've not found break rooms to be a great help- although I haven't really experimented with mods like the Simwardrobe employee coffee to re-energise them. So play sessions tend to be quite short- when the owner is tired the employee is tired, and the shop gets shut. Of course, it's all different when you have managers I suppose!

@simsample Play sessions at each business vary a bit, when I first start out with a business, I usually will go 3 to 5 days since I just operate with the owner and a family member or two in the beginning. This is when I use the Tents, I have someone sleeping in the tents every so often, while one of the other sims is running the business. When I add an employee, I make them a Manager as soon as I can and then when the Manager is tired I have them sleep in one of the tents. When I get to the point where I have more than one employee I find that the employees will autonomously use the Tents when they are tired. Also I do provide a coffee Machine in the break room fairly often. I just have to keep track of the employees and the Manager and the Owner as well. I do admit to a little cheating on occasion when I use the Sim Modder to raise the energy at some points. Mostly I just make sure to use the Tents and I provide a shower as well as a Food Buffet and or a Grill for food.

Once I get the business up in the ratings to at least near 10, I cut down to 1 to 3 days, but I still make sure to use the Tents and showers as well as a Food Buffet and or a Grill for food.

@Amura The General mellowed out when his children were older, especially after he realized that Tank was going to be a Chef. That I how I made him behave anyway. Besides he seems to be nice to Gwynn and Clint without me working on him. Also he is hoping that one of his children yet born will want to take over and become a General, since his second wife is still young enough to have babies. He figures that maybe a grandchild might become a General eventually if one of his children don't choose the Military Career.

So back to The Grunt Family of Strangetown.

Allegra named her son Clint and right now it is time for Clint to have his first Birthday.

We have our usual guests of Chloƫ and Lola Davis and also we have a new guest in Strangetown, Rose Greenman who is visiting from rather far away.


Allegra being the kind of Mom she is wastes no time in teaching her son Clint to walk and she begins before the Party is even over.

Obsessive Yes? Well Allegra is a Knowledge Sim.



Gwendolyn does well at being a Criminal Mastermind.


She enjoys her work.

General Buzz decides to ask that attractive O'Nial woman he was talking to at Gwynn's Birthday Party out on a Date...A Long Hot Date with Kendal is what he has.
{Lots of Pictures}



General Buzz gets on one of his computers and sets up a Vacation to The Far East in a Few Days.

Allegra decides to spend some more time teaching Clint to Walk before she heads off for the Adult Family Vacation to The Far East.


Almost time to Leave, but let me work on teaching Clint one more time.



OK that is it for this post, I will return soon with The Adults of the Grunt Family on Vacation in the Far East.

I hope that everyone is enjoying The Grunts.
