The Sims 2, Open Bussineses, PLEASE HELP!?

Question

help pleasee:

1) What do you do so you dont get out of stock of any item after you sell it? (EXample: I buy two chairs, then I sell one and it says out of stock, even if the other one is still there!)

2) Why can't I use the garage builder and why cant I buy a car?(Example: I only have the open bussineses expansion and a car icon appears in the buy menu but it's not "active (or on)", neither is the garage tool in the construction menu)

Answer 1

It says out of stock because that particular chair is gone/sold, even if you have another one just like it for sale. It's like the game thinks they are 2 different items even though they are exactly the same.

You have to have the sims2 expansion Nightlife in order to have cars or build garages/driveways. The cars were an item specifc to that expansion and the reason you have the icon for the cars/garages is because Nightlife came out before Open For Business and they put it in in case you had Nightlife (i think).

Answer 2

1) Every time you sell something you have to restock it. I'm not too sure what you mean, but say if you have 2 chairs and you put one on sale; when that chair is sold nothing happens to the other one, because items from the buy catalog will be automatically bought again to restock. I'm not sure what happens of the other chair is in your inventory though. (But then I don't think you have an inventory if you don't have Nightlife)

2) The cars and garage/driveways are only available through Nightlife. So sorry but unless you get Nightlife you're stuck with taxis and carpools!
