Enhancing Gameplay: Suggestions for The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies Expansion
I absolutely love this add-on and have been having a lot of fun with it, but there are a few changes that could make it even better. Since the Paranormal Pack lets Sims become paranormal investigators and hold séances, it would be great if we could charge others for communicating with the dead—especially since the séance tables have four seats
Additionally, increasing the limit of small businesses per Sim to two would allow for more flexible gameplay without needing to sell or modify existing businesses. If keeping the limit to one business per Sim is necessary, expanding customer interactions would be helpful. For example, if you want to run a hobby business like an art studio that offers art classes, one of the customer actions would need to be "attend classes." However, this feels limiting because, as someone whose Sims have a wide range of hobbies, I’d like to offer options for activities like crochet, knitting, painting, pottery, and jewelry making, in addition to allowing customers to buy items from the store. Currently, I can only assign actions for four of those interests, which means I have to figure out how to incorporate the remaining hobbies into separate small businesses run by other Sims in my household.
I also think the coding for taking care of pets and customers should account for customer needs, making businesses like daycares and hotels fully functional.
Additionally, it would be great to have the option to run multiple small businesses on the same lot. For example, if a lot has three different businesses, you could choose to open just one or all of them simultaneously, adding more flexibility and depth to gameplay.
