Sims Businesses and Hobbies Expansion Pack Negative thread.

I'm already disappointed with Businesses and Hobbies =[ The new businesses don't work with the old retail system at all. IE in a retail business, when someone buys something, you have a restock option and you can assign restocking items to the employees along with cleaning. I have a sim who owned a jewelry and gem retail store. When it's a small business, you can't restock to continue selling your items. You have to re-make everything every single time. That is extremely disappointing. In my retail stores, I also like to sell relevant skill books. IE in my jewelry store, I sell the 3 gemology skill books. Now I literally have to re-buy them from debug every single time I sell one because you can't just restock.... Imagine sims who are painters or authors. You can't restock your bestsellers or masterpieces anymore... You have to write a whole new book every single time... Even with the new pottery skill... You'll make something, sell it, then have to completely make it again. That makes sense with some goods like candy or food, but not with something like books or clothes (and clothes are not even able to be sold in the new system because they don't slot onto a pedestal) The new system seems to really only favor businesses that involve services, but not buying/selling goods. Like you can provide a service, or teach hobbies, (things that involve paying for admission or paying for a service) but not actually sell the things you make with those hobbies unless you literally want to remake that item over and over and over (so not a retail type business that involves selling goods). That makes it less cross pack compatible I feel, which really makes it feel less like an expansion pack. You should be able to have a small business residential OR a retail residential depending on the nature of your business. They basically just created a whole new stand alone system that doesn't really go with what we have.... Yes you can use other packs for a service based business, like you can own your own spa or gym and charge people entry, but it still doesn't really feel like it's expanding what we already have when they create a whole new system that doesn't go with the past systems and is very limited. Instead of expanding the game and giving us many options, we have to choose to either use the old system OR use the new system. It's called Businesses and Hobbies, but then doesn't include retail businesses?? Why can I have an apartment above a tattoo parlor or teaching studio that came with this pack, but I can't have an apartment above a clothing store, thrift store, restaurant, vet clinic, or any retail type store that came with past packs? Even HSY came with that non-functional "apartment" above the thrift tea shop for the thrift shop owner like they were preparing for that to be a thing at some future time... So sad =[ I literally bought this pack because I was excited about multi lot types so I am extremely disappointed at how limited it is. Not worth being a full expansion pack since it's more stand-alone. It didn't expand current systems; it just created a new limited system instead.
