The Sims 4<\/a> really does reflect the best and worst parts of life, including the reality of dealing with disruptive customers in retail jobs. The Business & Hobbies expansion came with the ability to run all sorts of new small business ventures\u2014with so much freedom that you might need help just coming up with small business ideas<\/a>\u2014and also comes with the total unpredictability of customer relations.<\/p>\n

When someone shows up to your pottery class determined to be a problem, your small business-owning sims are going to need to stiffen up the old spine and give the troublemaker the boot. As it goes though, the ever-expanding Sims 4 interaction menu makes it tough to initially know how<\/em> to send your disruptive customers packing.<\/p>\n

To make a disruptive customer leave in The Sims 4, you need to welcome them first.<\/strong> It’s a little counter-intuitive because obviously you want to get rid of them, not welcome them. The thing is, there are other small business-specific interactions that you can’t perform with a customer until you’ve gone through the first step of greeting them\u2014like how you often have to greet any acquaintance sim before more specific interactions open up.<\/p>\n

You may have so many customers coming and going from your store that you won’t realize your sim hasn’t actually greeted them all individually. Usually that’s not an issue. They’re still plenty happy to buy stuff or use the services you’re providing.<\/p>\n

You can sometimes spot a disruptive customer based on what they’re doing. Some might stink up your store with farts or stand around eating a sandwich. They’re just generally not reading the room. If there’s any doubt though, hover over the sim in question and they’ll have red text above their name that declares them a “disruptive customer” clearly spelled out.<\/p>\n
