Tips and Tricks:
- To check for localization updates: “Options” > “Others” > Refresh Icon next to “Open Localizor”
- If you’re stuck while walking “Options” > “Others” > “Unstuck”
- If you’re stuck in a vehicle - Call the tow Truck
- To use WASD “Options” > “Control” > “Controller Type” > “Controller”
- Right-Click to move things after placing them
- When ordering a pallet delivery - don’t stand on the delivery location, or the delivery will fail!
- Every employee that is assigned to a business must be wearing a uniform - even cleaners or employees who aren’t scheduled for that day
- Interior Designer
- If you can’t see “Interior Designer”: “Options” > “Graphics” > “Reset Windows”
- Click on Register to set Customer Queue Line
- Right-Click an object to recolor it
- Walls & Floors: Select a design, then “paint” it on.
- Purchasing Agent
- If you set a one-time delivery, the Purchasing Agent will attempt to order the number you have typed in.
- If you set a repeating delivery, the number you type becomes a “target”. So if you put “1000”, but currently have 800 in the warehouse, it will only attempt to order 200.
- Either way orders still need to clear the minimum purchase amount or else they won’t go through
- If you don’t have enough pallet shelf space at your warehouse, you won’t get the delivery.
- Logistics Manager
- Your Logistics Manager delivers up to the target number (which includes any items already in the store, in storage or in display cases).
- Your deliveries only happen once per day at midnight
- If you don’t have enough shelf space at your store, you won’t get the full delivery
Edit to add: if you had a business at 13 3rd Ave or in 12 8th St, those buildings have been altered and unfortunately, this means we have to close any businesses in those locations to prevent any issues. Your player will be refunded in-game for any items you had in the building, which you should be able to see in your Econoview app.
