GTW Retail Done Right
I tried left and right to make retail work vanilla, but ultimately failed. Granted, this depends on what you consider "right", and if that is simply making money then there are ways of course to do so...

@Archieonic - I totally agree with your post. I use those same two mods and it's the only way I'll even touch Retail. Considering GTW was the first EP for the game, I think the Devs have done a better job with businesses with running restaurants and vet clinics. But I do wish they would go back and fix Retail.
For me, TS2 Open For Business was and will always be my favorite EP in the entire Sims series. It all comes down to the detail, in my opinion. Shoppers with bags and getting frustrated waiting to be rung up. Getting upset and dropping the bag on the floor. That's so classic. I'd like to see some of that brought into TS4 Retail.....which I doubt will happen....but I'd settle if they cut out the idle chit chat so shoppers shop & employees work.
Definitely! Funny enough, TS2 OFB is also my favorite EP to date in this franchise, I had SO much fun. I've been testing with LittleMsSam her mod and it baffles me how they haven't updated retail, it's rather simple or should be for a development TEAM when a single modder is able to do it.
Check the stats on the lower right for 8 hours of retail. Yes, that's 55 items sold! (MCCC used to make days 2x longer, so with vanilla time it'd be around 27.) Also using More Customers mod by weerbesu, and my own 9 employees mod (using only 5 atm). Granted it isn't quite OFB, but I find the fact that the store runs logically and chaotically much like real stores amazingly pleasing. All I did there was help my restock employee keep up with the items and chat 3-4 sims up, and clean. My other 4 employees are tasked with "Answer Questions" but act as "backup ring up" so whenever there's 4+ customers to ring up they stop and go to them.
