You need to use the various retail interactions in conversation to encourage them to buy... their interest bar goes up pretty quick if you can keep them happy and intersperse a variety of retail interactions in the conversation.
Yes, but suddenly that option doesn't even exist. I am not sure if it's related to my Sims actually being celebrities themselves or what, but I open my store and then the only things my werewolves who are currently Notable Newcomers can do is "Ferocious Intimidation" and "Ask Customer to Leave" that's it. Nothing else.
I’m sure this is not gonna be the solution to a lot of people in this thread but it might help someome. I was having a similar problem which made my retail completely non functional.
My lot was filled with sims just talking, picking up stuff, sitting down and doing homework, they didn’t bave the blue bars like if they were browsing the shop and the retail menu did not show up at all! Also, no purchases of course.
Turns out the problem was mod related, more specifically to the Spawn Refresh mod by Zerbu, I believe some conflict with the shared rental functionality of the mod. The game was only spawning normal sims according to the objects in my lot and no customers. I took it out of the game and now everything works fine 🙂
