Not sure why but it made me travel to my home lot to pay the electric bill! Is this Normal does anyone know?

Was there not an option on the phone to pay bills?
Maybe try placing a mailbox somewhere on the retail lot to see if you can pay bills that way.

Yes, dear! You´re right! You can place a mailbox on your Store lot and it costs 0 simoleons!
BTW, it´s great to see you here. Don´t you want to join to the fun? Say yes, please! :smiley:

Thank you so much @BreeMiles and @AIRIS6962 ! :) Really love both your mobile shops (and your toddler toys shop too Bree, as well as your sims for your shops)! <3 I'm actually glad this challenge includes all three aspects of the game, making a sim, building and playing, that is so much fun! B) That means my progress will be slow lolz, but I'll be glad to share my progress here. :)

I did have a practical question, as I haven't uploaded a lot of complete lots in Sims 4 and as I understand correctly there are some differences between the Gallery and the Exchange from Sims 3. Is it correct that depreciation in value of your lot does not upload to the Gallery like it used to with the Exchange? So in Sims 4 the value is determined by what you have on the lot when it is new, straight out of build/buy mode? I remember in Sims 3 playing a lot for a while would bring down its value which helped me out with a few challenges with a budget back then. But that is not the case anymore in Sims 4/the Gallery? Also, is it right that for the same reason upgrades to appliances disappear when you upload a lot to the Gallery? Remember again that those stuck around when you uploaded to the Exchange in Sims 3.

Yay, so glad to have you on board as well @SoulGal7 !

Ok, step 1, my sim for the challenge, coming right after this! :)

It´s great that your first lot on The Gallery is going to be for this challenge! :smiley:
I think I noticed a little depreciation in value indeed while you´re playing but in that doesn´t affect to the lot when you upload it to The Gallery. About the upgrades in appliances I have no idea, I never tried to upgrade before uploading.
I can´t wait to see your Photography Store!

Your sim looks wonderful! as all the sims you make, dear <3 Anyway, I have my favourite one :mrgreen: and I have him in my game.
You will can see soon some pics of my progress. I made another store and a new sim and I started again.
Here you are an advance:
