As requested:
This mod allows you to hire family members see screenshots, I had a husband hire his wife.
 
This mod is compatible with FFS & GLS.

4/14/06 you need the file promoteanytomanagerV1.1.zip to promote a sim to manager on your home lot I thought I had included it with hirefamilyv1.3 but I didn't.

Why wasn't this standard? Nice work!

Just what I've been waiting for !! Thanks

Thank you
Thats a real thing to me!

Thank you, just what i was waiting for!

Thank you so much, Squinge!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, nice

Been looking for something like this. cool

Many Thanks for this.

Squinge Thank Yo very very much. I keep wanting my sims lady to tell her hubby to go make that sale and couldn't, not until the Great Squinge created this mod. Thanks!!! Your folder of you mods is nicely full!!

Hey Squinge, I am downloading and using almost all the recent mods you have made for us, however I am having problems with a few of them, and right now, I am concerned about "Hiring Family Members".

I am playing the game with Content ON and I can't find a way to make the "Hire" option show up as in your illustration. Got any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks again for all your work.

THANK-YOU!!!! Another thing that was despertly needed!

This is great for home-based businesses! Thanx!

Are you selecting the owner of the shop in my example i was controlling the husband(owner of shop) & then click on his wife & hired her.

Another much needed mod.  Thanks.

I have a problem with this Mod. I can hire a family member just fine, but there isn't any option to assign them to do anything. If I can't assign them to do a job I can't really see a point to hiring a family member. I am not doing something right???

LadyBug
PS I love all your mods by the way, have several and all the others work just fine for me. Thank for making them.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention it is now fixed.

Super.....thank you :-)))

Squinge . . . thanks for the reply, and yes, I was using the Owner and choosing other family members trying to hire them and I even downloaded your latest version of the mod, however, after trying every possible combination of players and businesses, I still DO NOT get the option to "Hire" with any of my crews.

I also don't get any option to make anyone Manager (also using that mod too). So, I must be doing something terribly wrong, but no clue to what that might be.

sandshifter

So you can't hire anyone even non family?
also i just added a new file where family can be promoted to manager so delete the file anybodybemanager.package before installing if you plan on using the new file.

Off to test!!! Usable thing really! Family business goes on!

Sorry to say that, because this could be a great hack.

Using your hack (both files installed, the old one manager deleted), I had big troubles.
No more ability, for all my employees, to:
1. Establish uniform.
2. Modify charge.
3. Pause his job.
4. Send home employee.
5. Fire employee.

Little Note:  I was able to hire non-family sims (in the shop as customers) only if best friends with owner. Otherwise they refuse always to be hired.

Then I removed your hacks, and all works fine as before (of course without the option to hire family member or friends).

Iceman

This is what happened to me also.

Squinge . . .

Yes, I can still hire employees, the standard way . . . you know the 5 weird choices they give you . . .

however, your mod does not work, neither does the makeanyonemanager.

After more checking, I have discovered that NONE of your mods are working for me . . . I took out all my other mods and just left yours in the game and they still do not work.

I thank you for all your work and effort, but guess I will just give up on them and move on . . . I have spent most of 2 days now and they just don't work.

:error: :error:

As always, great job! Thank you for all your hard work and great mods..am downloading now and will try..

Ok i will have to double check all the code & for now title this as in testing until all is well.

I have discovered that NONE of your mods are working for me . . . I took out all my other mods and just left yours in the game and they still do not work.
====================
Custom Content Enabled at start up?

Good question i never thought of asking that.

i'm having the same problem, n i'm SO bummed! This was one of the hacks i've been waiting n waiting for (along with a global that works like Liz's waterbed of love! but i've whined about that in other posts, so i'll save it-lol!)) it annoys me badly to have to micro manage family, n it seems insane to have to tell them to do sales on each and every person instead of just assigning them.  So squinge-you are MUCH appreciated for your hacks. i'm using many of them flawlessly.  thank you for going to the time n trouble to nullify some of the annoying stuff in this ep for all of us :)

edit: it's possible that i have another hack causing this for me, so it might not be anything to do with your hack. i've been trying to think what other ones i have that might be in conflict. can't think of anything off hand, but i figure i should go through them all to see if anything jumps out. At this point-i can't even remember what all i have in there. N this is all stuff ive added since ofb! it's  multitudes of annoyances have driven me to hack insanity :sad5:

This seems to work fine in my game but I will take a break from testing the birth gender preference and make this my new test right now & hopefully get it to work %100 for everyone.

i too have been having issues, i cant even get into a shop, aside from that all your other mods work awesome

The mod IS WORKING for me now . . . I found that another mod called "nudist-simple3-uni" was causing your Hire Family Members and a whole lot of other things to not work. None of the interactions for Management and a lot of things like Scope the Room and others were not working, but since I took out that one file, everything seems to work just fine, including your Hire Family Members.

Thanks for all the mods . . .

Thank you for the information I wasn't sure what other mods out there were causing problems with this one, but people use so many different hacks in their games it's hard to figure out why some have problems & some don't.

What other hacks do you use other than any of mine?
 
edit: One way i check for conflicts on my computer is with the scan folders option in simpe(tools menu) under active scanners check GUID scanner, then click scan & it will show you all the files that conflict by guid number.

i had to disable everything, the only mod i have running now is insim,i havent tried to play yet today cause its my babys bday party but,im gettin an error message as of last posting ,something about user populater when i try to take my sim shopping

I will see if i can find out what the user populater is i have never heard of that before.

if the conflicts show in red on simpe,its the cornacopea thingy

Yes they do & you can disabled it right from simpe there is a check box that says enabled just uncheck it to disable that hack or delete the file.

how do you do that,right click? cause i found a couple more, a set of stairs and something else,i forget im on a different puter as i write this

Left click on the enabled check box but also be aware my hack(s) will show as duplicate because it's a global override.

i disabled the issues,none of which were yours ;) but how do i delete the files from simpe?

You can't from simpe so you would have to write down the filename then go to "my documents\ea games\ the sims 2\downloads" & click on the filename then press the delete key on your keyboard to remove it(or right click the filename & left click delete on the menu that pops up)

thanx, hopefully this will resolve my issue

object error controller-clp-communitylot-populator#491.i get this even after deleting the issues

This hack doesn't do anything with that function it almost sounds like you have too many visitors at your shop because that function is called to populate community lots.

i kinda figured that,i was just wondering if you knew what it was and how to stop itcause so far i havent had anything but good luck with your stuff

Are you using my more customers on lots hack? the file is called morecustomers.package, if so try disabling it & see if that works I had to when using that & the 20 max customers hack because my lot was moving to slow.

nope, but i noticed it was one house that got the error, ,another house just sat threre loading but the owner got there no prob,im gettin worried maybe its time to get a new hd again!!!

i can not promote anyone to manager on residential lots, could you see if you can fix this i would love to have this option available.

You should be able to promote a non family member to manager.
 
edit: correction the promote anybody wasn't included with this hack, I just posted a seperate file that has that hack.

no i cant, i looked in the management screen but i cant promote them and they have all gold talent badges but there is no promote option.

I just realized I never included the promote anyone to manager with this hack & just posted promoteanytomanagerV1.1.zip which will allow you to hire a manager on your home lot, sorry about that.

hey no problem your working on so many cool things sometimes you can forget a thing or 2. But thanks for the quick adjustment.

I think noone has noticed this before.
Your hack works very well and allow the owner to hire a family member right.
With the other hack, the owner can also promote his family member as manager.

BUT: (for me)

This works ONLY if the family member is NOT living into the same residential lot of the owner.
In this case, I'm not more able to manage him (the "manage" menu disappears).
For example:
I have an owner with two childrens (both adults). One is living with the owner and the other is living into a different lot.
Well, the one living with is not manageable, the other yes.
So it's impossible to change uniform, to promote, to "do the job" to the living one but I can with the other one.

That is strange, I think part of the problem is a lot of stuff is coded in that lula script which I haven't tried hacking yet.

I was able to hire a family member that is in the same household and was able to manage her (assign job, etc...)

but when i switched to the hired sim and cancelled her assigned job she stoped having the little dot above her head and was not manageable

so i tried the "call in employees" and she still was not manageable.

this was on a community lot and i have the older version of hireFamily.

Couldn't agree more! Great! Thanks again!
~Rav :D

I've been trying this one out recently and it works great for making sure your community lot is staffed with family members when you send another sim to it (family members keep their originally assigned jobs) however while on the lot as the family nobody's wages can be increased nor do they have the 'I'm an employee' bubble over their heads.

It's perfect for making sure staffing needs are filled for other visiting sims, but when on the lot with the owners it'd be great to make sure all the assigning and managing options stay active for the owner.

I don't know if this has any bearing, but the teen of the family hired all of the family (three siblings and her two parents).  It was quite amusing seeing the 'ask permission to go out' dialgue next to management, but I couldn't have her fire them... though oddly they could go to any family member and quit.

This looks like a great hack thank you :)

Thank you for This mod

Well.. as my sim families grow, and the neighborhood people don't want to work.. this will certainly come in handy.. now the teenagers can afford to buy their ipod, cell phones, etc.. Thank you! :love2:

Thanks for this, hiring family first is important.  Then the other Sim can go fullfil their lifetime want.  Will be trying it out. Cheers!

Cheers Squinge. You're the greatest.

Correct :D lol
Thank You :D

I've been waiting for this!! Thank you very much~!:worship:

Thanks a lot these mods make the game million times better.  Everything works great, but 1 thing I can't figure out.

I have a family of 4, 2 adults, 2 teens.  I can hire them, and put them on the cash register, a few other options, however I can't tell them to "sell" like I can non-family.  That's the one thing I can't assign them to do.  So it makes it harder to run a business that sales merchandise, because I have to control every seller and their movements. Actually, I click on the teens to make them "restock", so I can assign them to do that either through the "management" thing when one of the parents click on them.

It does work in a restaurant though, I can make them hostess, server, stylist etc.

What a great hack! Thank you lots for this! :)

@Squinge: Completely off-topic I know, but how the hell did you get to lock more than two wants?

Thanks for this, will come in handy :)

You need a hack to do that I believe twojeffs made one to do that :)

Oh right, I'll have to check that out, thanks :)

Did this ever get updated for AL? I can't find a newer version that this, is it still okay to use?

Which mod did you want checked for compatibility? There's two posted in the OP to be downloaded.

Sorry, the 'hire family members' one.

I think the manager hack is okay? I know I used it recently, but that might only have been in my FT test game. If it needs checking, I'd like to know about both in that case.

Thanks a lot.

Hack Diffing Tool say this mod "may require possible updates".

We all know that already. Leave this up to Mr Squinge to determine whether it is compatible or not in the future. Plus this thread is over a year old.

One year later, no answer but the members still read this thread and may wait for an answer.

I'm still playing TS2 so these mods are still golden coins. Please don't be rude.

She's not being rude, RedMist. Chaavik has made an announcement (http://www.insimenator.org/index.php/topic,109212.0.html) regarding Squinge and his ability to update or make new mods for the unforeseeable future, so she's doing her job as a moderator and telling you how things stand with this mod. Also, we have a note in our rules regarding posting to threads over thirty days old. Perhaps it would be a good idea to give yourself a refresher on this sections stickies and the site's rules. ;)

Ok, I understand.

I won't be updating this mod so I have locked this thread.

*smacks the Dork with his own lock and wanders off*

*ouch!* stop that biatch :P

Nope!

*smacks you again with the lock*

Btw RedMist check your attitude at the door I remember you from the old site and you were warned. If you ever talk that way to Chaavik or anyone else again you will be banned!
