Yes Trinity! All of this and am so happy you take the time to articulate what my ADHD brain cannot!!! It is definitely frustrating to even thing about taking each instance and isolating it when it’s all happening in its own functional flow.
After I took time to test the hair salon, I ran into another subset of issues with different prompts. I can understand creating another report for those findings. But you hit the nail on the head.
Hello @yofford, if you have a new save file that experienced the issues, it would be great if you could share them too. Thank you.
Hi Luna,
Since this is 7d old (my apologies work) I will start a new game and come back with the save file.
Hello @yofford,
Among the issues you previously reported, we’d like to let you know that the following improvement has been included in today’s update.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We’ll continue working to improve the business system and address player feedback wherever possible.
Thank you.
I was really hoping this would have changed by now, especially as I did not have this challenge in my hair salon & clothing store combination business. There the employee was cutting hair but not recommending outfits as expected.
Now I am running a flower & woodcraft shop combination. My Zoi has both skills on Level 10. To support the high customer count and avoid empty shelves due to the other bug where the customers are clearing out the entire shelf when purchasing (reported by @Minthyuyu here) - I hired an employee. Extra looked out for the skills and hired one with gardening on Level 10 and gave him the task to restock flowers but not the wooden sculptures as he has 0 skill in this.
Now he is mainly crafting Level 7 sculptures which are always turning out bad quality and my Zoi can run after him to throw these in trash…
Given the previous observations in earlier shops I did with my Zois it seems to me that this behavior to ignore tasks is mainly tied to the crafting tasks like cooking, drink or coffee making, flower arranging and sculpture crafting. These are the tasks which the Zois just do in some random order if these are generally assigned to the shop and ignore their orders. It is not the case for the service type tasks like lectures, massages, hair cutting or clothing recommendation - for these it works fine.
Please fix this issue. It is really annoying as we also do not have the possibility to post vacancies for specific skill sets of employees. We have to take what we get and normally they do not have all the skills for all the tasks in our businesses, so they should really follow the orders to not mess up our businesses.
The only temporary solution I found was to lock my employees out of the workstation. Per example, I have the fridge with my kitchen locked for “operator only”, so that my employee would only handle the available coffee station. He constantly wanted to bake eventhough I didn’t give him the task for it. In your example, it’s sadly not possible because the stations are the same, I think.
The whole business situation is a disaster and REALLY needs fixing… this bug has been going on for a long time now…
Yes, this sadly only works with different workstations - in this case it does not help. And you’re right. This was reported back im March / April and still no improvement…
The Business could be and sometimes even is actually fun but all these bugs are destroying the fun to play with it. And there are so many by now in the business system that I cannot even count them all at once… And since months nothing is happening regarding these.
I’ve got an issue with the Hair salon business
I’m on PC and I play on Steam
I’ve got the newest version “[v0.10.3] Hotfix Details”
I’ve got problems with the business because no people attend the salon and if they do, they’ll never leave the place again… Unfortunately it seems to be bugged, and therefore I report this in. I also do think that the Zoi’s have trouble with giving the clients service. I do also get a bit confused on how they pay, it usually shows when i’m done with the haircut, but as I said they never really leave after that.. I really do hope you can help on this one.
Maybe a new client system is a good idea? I also did experience some things with my café
But thanks for your understanding and reading of this 
They seem to have a problem with entering the salon (as a heads up)
