The Sims 4Get To Workgives you the chance to design, build, and run your own retail store.
you’re free to sell almost anything: clothing, furniture, electronics, art, and books.
you’re free to even start a bakery.
All you better set up a retail store is a cash register and a little starting capital.
Get To Work is the very first Sims 4 expansion and it shows.
However, it does contain a number of new features.
Here’s the lowdown.
We also look at how to maximize your profits.
We’ve updated this guide to include all the new ways to sell your wares to other Sims.
All you need is a plot of land, a cash register and at least one item to sell.
As you’re free to see, customers will still visit andyou can make sales.
you’re able to sell almost anything from thebuild-and-buy catalog, enabling you to tailor your store.
Customers will buywhatever is set for sale,as long as you canconvince them to do so.
This enables you tostock your store with more items in a smaller space.
When you’re your own product, you’ve gotta get good at selling yourself.
Many stalls are movable.
For full details on this, see ourguide on how to run a food stall.
For other stalls, you cansell anything in your inventory which fits on the table.
This tends to becraftable itemssuch as candles, jewellery, knitted items etc.
you’ve got the option to also sellsmall household items or collectibles.
How To Make Retail Sales
Talking to customersis the best way to start making sales.
You’ll seeoptions to discuss price range, answer questions, and talk about preferenceswith customers once they arrive.
When a customer isready to purchase, they will have ablue simoleon iconabove their head.
You canclick this to ring up the sale.
The item will disappear, and you’ll gain the money.
With stalls, they will simply take the item, and you’ll receive the Simoleons through an animation.
If you have staff, the cost of this will also appear in your summary.
Hiring staffis best avoided until you havea store big and busy enoughthat you cannot handle it alone.
Otherwise, you’ll find that theydrive customers away, rather than bringing in those Simoleons.
Every item will sell fora specific amount above its retail price.
This is because yourstore’s appearance also matters.
A buildingis the first thing you need.
After that,flooring, wallpaper, lighting,ceiling paint, windows, and space all increase appeal.
Space allowing customers tofreely walk and browsewill also help you to make saleswith less effort.
you could alsoadd decor items inside and outto further boost the store’s rating.
Retail Perks
As you make sales you’ll earnperk pointswhich can bespent in the retail perks menu.
These arelike satisfaction points but retail-specific.
Here are a few ideas:
Beach Side Store
Island Livingowners can set up abeachside store.
Add some mannequins and you’re free to alsosell swimwear.
These include furniture, cauldrons, wand cases, andeven brewed potions.
Winter Sports Store
For those withSnowy Escape,Winter Sports equipment is also sellable.
Why not set up near the slopes and peddle your wares?
You cansell skis, snowboards, toboggans, tents, winter clothing, and accessories.
We’ve still not entirely sure how they fit the skis in there anyway.
However, there is a mod calledMannequin Upper by Lemony Linthat removes this limit.
Very few items are exempt from being marked for sale.
