When a customer purchases something, that item will now be out of stock and be replaced with an empty shopping cart sign. When you first start out, it will feel overwhelming but as you gain experience as a business owner, you’ll be able to purchase business perks to make things easier on yourself. Your Sims will need to be chatting up customers all the time, delegating tasks to their employees, restocking and cleaning shelves, and managing prices in their store. There’s a lot that goes into running a successful business. If you do this, we recommend transferring most of your funds to your business any purchases made on the retail lot will count as a business expense and use business funds, even if you’re purchasing items for your “home” on the lot. Then you can just stay there forever and use the retail lot as your residence. Have your Sims purchase a small empty lot as their “home” and then purchase a retail business that has a place for Sims to live, too. It’s not possible to have a residential lot that is also a retail lot so you can’t live at your business. Looking to run a business from home to eliminate the hassle of constantly transferring funds? Sorry, you’re out of luck. This is the same panel you used to purchase your business. You can transfer money between your household and your business anytime through the business panel in the bottom right of your screen in Live Mode. Likewise, if your business needs some extra funds, you’ll have to transfer money from your household to your business. If you want to use your business funds to make purchases for your home, you’ll have to transfer money from your business to your household funds.
Business funds can only be used to purchase things for your business. Whatever profits you make from your business are automatically deposited into your business funds. Your business’ funds are separate from your household funds. When you first purchase your business, you’ll be prompted to transfer funds to your business. Retail mannequins automatically have their outfits set for sale so if you’ve dressed up your store mannequins, you’re good to go! You can still set other related items for sale, though, such as clothing and shoe clutter. If your Sims run a clothing store, there is no need to set something for sale to make the lot functional. Some craftables, like the Herbalism concoctions can’t be sold, either. Neither can tables or rugs that have items placed on top of them.
Small décor that is non-clickable can’t be set for sale.
Most objects in the game can be sold on retail lots, including food and many craftables but there are some exceptions. To set items for sale, just click on anything you’d like to sell and select Set For Sale. Once you are the owner of a new business, you can set items for sale in your retail store, control the price markup, hire and manage employees, restock items, make sales to customers, and more!Ī retail lot needs a cash register and at least one item set for sale in the store to be functional. Make sure your Sims have the funds to purchase the business! Once there is an unowned retail lot available to purchase, use the cash register symbol in the bottom right of your screen in Live Mode to purchase a retail business.
