Businesses & Hobbies Pack Notes
Second of all, I was looking over the options for setting up a home business and holy smokes! This seems really flexible. I haven't looked at the tuning for this yet, but it looks like most of the club activities are also available as business activities.
I'm going to have to try the pack for awhile to see what I can do with this, but there should be some ways that several of my mods could integrate with it.
Let me know what you think! Thanks as always for your feedback and support!

Making your mining station and canning factory be usable by employees would be huge
Oh, I know! lol. I have the canning factory working now, but am having trouble figuring out a good way to direct what they make. I was thinking of utilizing the favorites mechanism, but haven't quite made that work yet. Aside from that, I did create some different activities to get them to make different types of stuff, like 'make dairy', 'make bread', etc. It doesn't seem to want to work with ingredients, but I have getting the business owner to pay for them working. I'm going to try a bit more trying to get either recipe-selection OR 'require ingredients' to work with employee interactions, but if I can't, I'll release what I have working above. For mining, I'm going to focus on getting them to mine first, then have them put the ores and crystals into the new Home Smelter (it has an inventory). Working on all of those things right now. :)

I'm going to make a whole post when I get a chance, but I've spent some more time playing with the new pack and experimenting with adding custom activities, and so far, it's very easy! I have a couple of them working already, and can foresee how a lot of my mods can work with this. I should be able to add tutoring activities for most of the custom skills in my mods, and most of my crafting mods should be able to get an employee crafting activity. So far, I'm impressed with the flexibility (eg, mod-ability?) of this pack. We'll see how it goes. I have a really long to-do list. :D
Wow, you can set up a home museum and charge admission? I can see that I'm going to want to figure out how to add custom business activities.
Yeah! My only disappointment is not being able to set up a small business on a rental lot. I'd already figured it wouldn't but ah well.
I think Zerbu posted that he was trying to mod that, but it wasn't working yet.
