I love your Stall! I would want it to look just like that! Maybe with a pic of a chocolate at the top as well, to better match all the other stalls we have in game. I would LOVE for it to be portable and useable by our own sims (and wish that the CL ones would do the same)
That would make me very sad. It's a reason why I prefer to get this in a game pack over a stuff pack. No offense to Graham and his team, but stuff packs by their very nature are limited when it comes to gameplay, and I'm really craving more things for my sims to DO, not just to eat and look at. It's why I want my sims to be able to craft sculptures out of sugar and chocolate - as a part of the Sugar/Confectionery Skill. Plus, it's a pretty trendy thing to do right now, and has never been done in the game before.
I don't really care about clothing and furniture to tie in with chocolate, but I would love to play a Sim whoseCareer is a Confectioner or a Chocolatier. Now that they've introduced these new "Work From Home Careers" I think they could make an awesome one, where our sim could either go to the Chocolate Factory to work, or stay home and Design Chocolates on the Easel, Craft Chocolate Sculptures, Make Chocolates, or Sell Chocolates with the portable Stall you've shown. Chocolates and Candy. There's the two different branches. (And they are actually really different in skill too. Chocolate is much easier to work with than sugar, and certainly less dangerous. You can give yourself some really nasty burns with sugar ... another buff! Sugar burn.)
Also, I'm not against a Bit Of Wacky in my game as long as it's to do with gameplay, not just decorational. That Secret Lot to Explore I mentioned could be a new small world a bit like Sylvan Glades, with Chocolate Waterfalls the sims could actually drink, edible flowers they could pick - that would make them either euphorically happy, or intensely ill. And while I doubt there's enough to make an actual Dentist Career, our sims could meet a zaney NPC character in the new Secret Lot who could not only help our sims increase the Confectionery Skill at a very high rate, could also unlock secret recipes, give our sims "special ingredients" to make fantastical candy with strange effects - like filling all their needs at once! (can only be made once the sim has MAXED the Skill!) He could also give us the Secret Recipe to No More Tooth Decay, or the Secret Never Get Fat Again Recipe. The Secret Lot could also grow the new harvestables that have been mentioned, including Sugar Cane, or a fantasy/made up Sugar Plant.
I think the downside to Candy and Chocolate never spoiling could be that eating one is the equivalent to eating a piece of fruit - they barely have any effect on a sim's hunger. Then, if a sim eats too many, they start to get a HEAP of bad side effects (which the Sweet tooth trait sim is immune to). Sugar Rush: where the sim is super energized and cannot sleep for 8 hours, Toothache, which has bee mentioned, Stomach Ache, making the sim Very Uncomfortable, and even Throwing Up - need more things in the game to make sims to do this. >:) And definitely gets you fat quicker!
Candyland could be a real thing in Sims 4 with it's Secret Lots! We just need to think up fun ideas for why we'd send our sims there. How 'bout we finally get an actual RAINBOW in the game, and every time a sim visits, there's a pot of gold at the end of it. Sometimes it's only $100, but sometimes it's $10, 000! Flirting with the Zaney Character we meet there could give us an immediate Promotion in the Confectionery Career. He says, "Oooh, I like you soooo much, hang on" gets out his Hot Pink Phone to arrange a promotion with our boss. Also, the crazy Candy Themed Clothes could be something He/She wears, and if you be-friend him/her, you'll unlock his outfit in CAS for your sim to wear. Maybe he comes with an AWESWOME HAT! And if you woohoo with him/her in the Chocolate Waterfall, your sim becomes just like him/her - the outfit, maxed out the skill, knows all the secret recipes and has the ability to give sims in the Confectionery Career a promotion.

@Simalleyaile Wow your post put such a huge smile on my face, so many fantastic ideas and I hope you don't mind me including them in the OP with some links back to your post and the original thread too.
It's such a clever idea to have emotional buffs from eating the different kinds of candy, and it would be so awesome to have those chocolate/sugar sculptures, even if they end up not being craftable, to decorate the confectionery stores with.
So many awesome ideas, thank you for posting, and I'll be sure to add them all to the OP as well as read your original thread. :smile:

Sounds tasty.
With the Candy-cooking skill, it might be cool to relocate the candy-based recipies to the candy-cooking skill too.
I do think there should be a couple of genuinely silly candy-themed clothes and items, but not too many, and make them for your kids and toddlers, who would enjoy it. Certainly not the tasteless 'Sweet Treats' level of ridiculous plum. But we do have some weird plants, so how about a 'Candy Apple' treehouse?
If candy can't spoil, it needs a downer - which is that it makes you fat quicker.
(Also a new world - Candyland! JK)
Also, you could give your kids treats for being good, and taunt people by eating chocolate in front of them to be mean?
