First ever customer won't leave room 1

[Skolvid_19]

With my first mission to rent the room to someone, I rented a room for 12 hours to a guy, and they have been in there for over 2 days. I can't sell the door to open it. I've also closed the entire motel and the guy still won't leave. He is just standing in the room. Not sure what I am supposed to do. I'm stuck.

that happened to a NCP on a youtuber video i watched. she is forever (i guess) stuck there. did you quit the game and reload the save? sometimes that refreshes the UI. if you haven't played for too long, start over? maybe try loading a auto-saved file. on my game a NPC stood in front of my shop and never did anything, occasionally she would my a bit farther away. i saved, quit the game and reloaded it. the NPC was gone. good luck

My first customer also took about 3-4 days but he eventually left on his own....

My theory on this is that the first customer is not properly following his 12 hour stay and that he gets his 12 hour window to trigger when you accomplish one of the tutorial tasks that are set out for you....

So if you are slow about doing those tasks they give you the longer he or she clogs up that room.... (anyway that's my hunch)

Also closing the motel doesn't make your guests leave it only keep new people from showing up to rent rooms....

The first customer is part of the tutorial and does not check out until the proper point in the tutorial several steps later. If it takes you several days to do those tasks then the customer stays in the room the entire time.
