Retail store VS yard sale

Hi @Harukotyan

Thank you for posting that link to those custom sales tables they look awesome and while i don't use CC in my 4 game (too many mods to contend with) I am defo going to try those out when they are released :)

@Karababy52

You posted EDIT: I just thought of one more plus for yard sale tables. They can double as a fridge for Sims when they can't afford to buy one right away.

I never knew that i have defo got to try that one out although the mind boggles as to why they made them that way :)

@SPARKY1922 Just to clarify, you can store food in the yard sale tables and the freshness will last the same as if it was in a fridge. You won't get a list of recipes to choose from or anything like a regular fridge. My R2R Sims store leftover grilled foods, free food from festivals, sack lunches made from leftovers they've 'borrowed' from townies in the park or from platters of bar meals they've bought.

If you've stored any food in there, just remember to take it out before stocking your table during a yard sale or it will be put on the table to be sold. Only takes a second to do though and then you can just put it right back in there. :)

@Karababy52

Thanks for clarifying. I still think it's a pretty cool function. I would probably never have known about it I had not read your post :)

To clarify even more, I think the freshness is comparable with the absolute BEST fridges in the game.

The sales tables are definitely easier to use than a shop, but they all have such a shabby and garage sale vibe to them. It's not possible to make a proper looking shop with them.

Did you check out the CC street sales tables at aroundthesims? Sandy made a few versions, still kinda backyard but without the banners and boxes, they make a much cleaner impression. I used some at my Oasis Springs market, you can see some pictures on this old blog post. I think the link to dl might be there, if not - let me know :)

Edit: Why didn't I just post one of those pictures... LOL

@Simmerville oh my goodness! aroundthesims is still around(no pun intended)? hehe In sims2 I downloaded lots of things from them!

Ypp, we're lucky! It's been among my fav cc sites for all the series. Some old content was converted to TS4, too. Worth to check out :)
