Grocery Stores

well city living has a vegetable stand where you can get ingredients. still i would like a fully functioning grocery store aswell.

Yasss I'd love to go shopping at Target with my sims.

I would like this even more if it was impossible for my sim to cook food if they didn't have the ingredients. Then a grocery store would be very useful.

That be awesome!

As much as some people found it a useless step, I loved having to go to the grocery store to get ingredients!

I would love to be able to make functional grocery stores and pharmacies. I have grocery stores and pharmacies in my game already, but they are mainly just decorative. I do have a CC vegetable display that sells actual vegetables, and medicine is now sellable, which helps a bit, but it would be great to be able to create a proper store, with a range of merchandise; especially if it sold goods that were not merely available in BB.

I so miss the fun of sending my sims out to shop for things that were not otherwise available in the game, like we did in Sims 1. I have such fond memories of my sims browsing and buying goods from those enticing displays of clothes, baking ingredients and toys.

I've said this before, but I think high-level recipes should require fresh ingredients, instead of them being optional.

Suddenly buying (or growing/catching) your own veggies/fish is a lot more relevant, and it'd be less of a chore than say, TS2, where you had to fill up your fridge completely every few days before your Sims could eat,

The veggie stands in City Living (and I assume Cats & Dogs), not to mention the functional grocery store mods, provide some amazing touches of realism, but there's no real benefit to using fresh ingredients right now.

Also you could order groceries over the phone or on the computer on TS2. Though I'd like a functional grocery store and not having to pay money to cook the meals if my sims already have the ingredients.

Maybe we get a Grocery Store Game Pack with grocery store as a business? :)

That way you can own and manage a grocery store and on the other side go shopping in a grocery store! :)

There could also be coupons your Sims could use in order to get some ingredients for free or with % off.

It would be awesome if our sims could sell ingredients they garden or farm (if there's a farming gp) and it could be a way for them to earn money and also if our sims could own a store and sell stuff they garden.
