Would you like to have grocery stores in TS4 ?
Would you like to have a grocery store lot where your sims would go grocery shopping, could work at, or own ?

Only if I could still "order in" on a per meal basis.
The only reason I go to the store in person IRL is because I like control over what produce and meats I get and I know what I can do without and what I must find a substitute for - and what substitutes work for whatever I'm planning. It's a level of nuance I don't need in a game where 24 hours in game takes 30 minutes in reality.
I have so many other things I want my sims to be doing - skilling up, collecting, writing books, harvesting the garden, etc - and stories I want to tell (I don't need "difficulty" to make the game fun) that having to put that on hold to send someone to the grocery store ... no thanks. Maybe if it didn't put the whole plum household on pause for actually getting stuff done when I left the lot, it might be interesting on occasion.
They did introduce the produce kiosk in City Living, so there's some precedent for it. And I wouldn't mind if they had something similar for meats, dairy, breads and such, and the overall cost was less than if you just paid for ingredients as you do now.
I wouldn't mind if they added a Grocery store.
I just don't want it to be mandatory.
