Has anyone run this type of biz yet? I'm in the process of creating one but interested in knowing if it's worked out. I have some sims whose gardening skill I don't care to level up but they like to cook and bake with fresh foods. So it would be nice for them to buy them at a fresh market. Also, I was kind of hoping we would get a fruit stand with Get Together since they had some in the early Windenburg renders.Anyway, I would love to see everyone's creations and hear your stories :smile:

I do have a supermarket selling fresh ingredients run by NPC so that my sim cook can get fresh ingredients for their cooking. It works out very well. However running supermarkets is very painful due to small profits...

Your plan to run a fruit and vegetable stand /market sounds great! :) It will be very nice for your sims to buy fruit and vegetables there. I hope that your creating of the build goes well! :) You will need to make sure that the fruit /vegetables items are set for sale, so as NPCs are generated and so your sims can come and buy the produce.

But luckily the owners are my minimalist sims and I might sell some handcrafted furniture or sculptures. I have a bakery owner and it's annoying having to search for all fruit ingredients or spend time leveling up her gardening skill. I think it's cute to be able to buy her produce locally visit a market.

I downloaded a fully functioning fresh supermarket from the gallery and it worked well ! I don't really know how to upload screenshots :)

@jimbbq Ugh Man that sucks! My customers are buying from it, but If I take a sim to shop, it do anything. Also, when I "fill" the fridge, the fridge doesn't begin to look stocked, as I know it is supposed to. If that makes sense.

I have a question about this, in my game my sim goes to purchase from the lice cold freezer, and I click "purchase from display" my sim looks at the fridge for a second and nothing happens, no inventory display or anything. I know the routing issues were supposed to be fixed with the patch that time, but I am wondering what should be happening?

Also, trying to have a farmer's market selling fresh produce.

Hello.
Is your sim visiting the store? Are there other food items in the store that they are able to buy? There has been issues where food in stores disappear and are no longer available to buy. The food may have disappeared from the freezer.
This is a link to a thread on the AHQ EA site that refers to issue connected with food in retail stores. You may like to post your experiences there.

That sounds amazing. Could you tell us the name of the download, please?

I think it is Magnolia Fruits and Veggie.

yea I have the same problem....the whole NPC run retail aspect is not working properly at the moment with food and fresh produce. I think if you are selling items from the buy catalogue it is fine though

I thought I was going crazy as I filled my NPC and non NPC ran food shoppes and everytime the food would disappear the next day I played. I thought I had an issue with my mods, sigh, I hope they fix it. I think I will have a test run with foods from the unlocked catalog and see how that goes. I shall report back this weekend :)

Hello @Freedomdeep.
I am sorry that you also are having this issue. It is affecting the food shops of many simmers.
