This is why I advise making the lot exactly as you want it in the first place.Дў) Any playables hired will have the 'Employee' 'career' when you play their home lot, and this will replace any career they may have already had. However, a couple warnings:ДЎ) Should you ever want to make a change to the lot, you'll have to go through moving its owner back into a playable household and sending them to the lot to do it. Unless you eventually move/marry-in that townie as a playable, in which case you could sell the business and have another townie buy it. This will remove them from the playable household, but they will retain ownership of the lot even as a townie.Д§) Turn on moveobjects and delete the re-townified townie from the lot.ДЇrom then on, whenever you visit that community lot, its townie owner will be there and so will any playable employees, doing the jobs they've been assigned, but you will never have to play the community lot as an owned business. Once there, use the Sim Blender again, this time its Family -> Make Me a Townie function, to make the owner a townie again. Repeat for however many playable employees you want.Д¦) Send the townie owner back to the lot you moved him/her into. Use the standard game functions to hire the playable and then assign them to whatever task you want them to do. Once there, use the Sim Blender (or whatever) to teleport in the playable you want as an employee. (I usually find out how much it'll cost to buy it by making the 'Purchase Community Lot' phone call and looking, then hanging up and adding exactly the right amount to the family's funds, then making the purchasing phone call again.)Д¤) Have the townie buy the community lot.ДҐ) Send the townie to the community lot. function to make the townie temporarily part of the household.ДЈ) Add money to the family's funds using the familyfunds cheat, enough to purchase the community lot. With the Sim Blender (or a similar modded object like the Insimenator or the Sim Manipulator), use its Family -> Move In. Making any changes after a townie purchases it is somewhat of a pain.Дў) Pick the townie you want to own the business and teleport him/her into one of your playable households with whatever modded object you have that will accomplish the task. The way I do it is:ДЎ) Set up the community lot business-to-be exactly as you want it to be, if it's not already as you want it to be, first, before anyone purchases it. However, if you don't want to play an owned business, what you can do is a have a townie (temporarily made playable) purchase the business instead. The standard way to go about doing that would be to have a playable own the business and then hire another playable as the clerk/barista, as you said.
