No offense, Puglove, but look here. Just because you are not interested in grocery stores, does not mean others are not. The thread is a question about why we cannot have them, not opinions on why we don't need them. Don't get me wrong, I'm not too particular about grocery stores myself, it's cute but I have no need for it. That said, there are things that I really do need and want and so I can completely respect what others want.
Again, I do not mean this to sound offensive, but telling those why they don't need what they want is offensive. I thought you may wish to understand this because some people really do not know how it sounds.
@magnoliasouth, I'm sorry I didn't see your reply to me earlier, and I'm sorry I upset you! 😢 I didn't mean to be rude.😞🤭 I might be missing something, but I was confused about why so many people want to have their Sim buy produce in a grocery store when all of the produce for recipes are purchased at the refrigerator or stove. 🤔 I stated this because I believe that is EA's thoughts on it too. In the past (I think it was Sims 1 or 2) many people found it tedious to keep having to go to the store for food in your game and then cook it at home, so I think that is why EA chose to do it this way.😉 There are some grocery-like produce stands with City Living and the "catch of the day" seafood stands with Cats& Dogs. And you can get some produce from plants to harvest at the Spice Festival and the Romance Festival (but the Romance Festival has mostly flowers). I understand this is not quite what y'all would prefer, but at least it is something. 🙂
Is the reason most people want a grocery store in game just to mimic real life, or is there some other reason I'm not getting? 🤔 I was hoping someone could explain why they were needed/wanted.
Now while I don't think it is necessary to have grocery stores in game, if everyone else wants them I won't be upset! 😎 I just don't understand it, is all. And actually, I would rather run a grocery store in the game than visit one! 😉
