Hi I just bought the bakery set and placed it in my town. Is there a way to set it up to work as a bakery without owning it myself? I can hire a sals person but I cant seem to set it up so it has stuff to sell.

It's been a while since I played it but does the bakery not come with pies, cookies, cakes, etc. already on the shelves?

You can get more items by shift-clicking on the bakery oven appliance,(the one with the rolling pin) for options. They usually show up on the floor which you can then move to the glass or wooden shelves. It's a bit of a pain but I do it with my bakery. Never hired a sales person though.

If you're not opposed to using mods, the Nraas Cupcake mod will stock the shelves for you every night:

We got into trouble with some players on that one. Our developer has an unusual sense of humor (and note this comment is coming from me, of all people) and had put into the write-up for the Cupcake mod that no matter where you put the bakery displays, even on the roof, they will auto-refill at 5am.

He didn't mean we had to do that literally, he meant that the refill operation is very forceful. Suddenly we had players with racks full of cakes and pies on their sims' rooftops wanting to know why we told them to put them up there. Some slight adjustments to the instructions were then in order. :)

Besides for using the NRaas Cupcake mod, you will also need to click on the cash registers after you place it, and choose "hire cashier." Your sims don't have to own the bakery to do it, at least not if you use the mod. I don't know whether it would work if you don't have it, but it wouldn't do any good anyway, if there's nothing to sell.

Which cash register do you use?

It's called Sweet Nothing Simoleon Register. There are also bakery sales rugs that are supposed to go underneath the display racks. I don't know whether that means the displays can't be filled if they're not there, but they are under all of them in the store bakery, so I used them in the smaller bakery I made.

Believe me, NRAAS Cupcake REALLY works.

I made my own little bakery for a video... Stocked up right to the gills every single night - the shelves were loaded with baked goods.

As @IreneSwift said, you put down the Sweet Nothing Simoleon Register. Never knew about the rugs, but I found that all the shelves were stocked regardless of the bakery rugs.

From memory, I think you need the rugs under the shelves (can't recall actusl name) if you want sims to buy from those tall bakery shelves.

I got the mod and it’s working great. Thanks for the help.

I just got this set too.....and rut roh...it's not restocking itself? No one owns it, so I just assumed.......hmmm. Does the shelf keep food good forever? I miss the TS2 days when food in your inventory lasted forever. If anyone is using parts of this set for anything clever, I'd love to hear about it. I kind of don't get it and again have testing to do, but I'm already doing that on well....everything else :)

You need the Cupcake mod from NRAAS to get it to restock. It's a painful experience without that mod. Genies work well though as they can summon food. Faster than getting your Sim to spend all day each day baking to restock.

@Nikkei_Simmer I just read your post. If you put the rugs under the stocked bakery cabinets and shelves the sims can buy items direct from the shelves/cabinets. You don't need the register.

(igazor: oooh, dear, that so could have been me :sweat_smile: :D )

Thanks for that mod tip @KevinL5275 !!
