Sul Sul! We're nearly ready to roll out the 18th Expansion Pack for The Sims 4, Businesses & Hobbies! Whether you're maxing out the new Pottery skill or getting ready to blast out 200 lower back Greg tattoos, I wanna see what you're doin as you explore Nordhaven! Show me what you got!

I also tested out turning a ranch into a small business. I was hoping for a riding school, or even just a "come ride with me" or "let's train together" type thing but sadly saw no horse-riding-related events for businesses. So instead, I opened the farm up for "farm life experience" sort of like a petting zoo type thing, and sold milk, eggs, and baked goods. The Chef Hustle table worked well for the baked goods, and people were flocking to the place. Even a little ghost child showed up! 😄 All the livestock got well tended to by the visitors so my Sims didn't have to do anything to keep them happy except keep feeders full. No need for a ranch hand with this crowd!The downside to the farm experience was that it was winter and NOBODY would put on their winter clothes except my Sims. Even the employee they hired kept running around in his everyday clothes. 😬 One customer froze to death. My Sim was running around small-talking everyone into showing her their cold weather clothes, but that was exhausting. Maybe I'll set out some Dining Out heaters and see if that helps. I did put a fire pit near the horse pasture, but no one used it, probably because it wasn't an activity on the business list. The new display unit also worked great for selling milk and eggs autonomously while the business was open. And I tested a little standing shelf that auto sold things. It sold little animal figurines, but I couldn't seem to restock it without going back into B/B. I tried putting wool on the shelf instead, but it didn't sell. Have to play around with it more.I also tried to put a bag of manure on the shelf, figuring it was a farm and all, why not sell fertilizer, but it...um...returned to its original form and was not very attractive on display. 🤣 That's when I swapped it for sheep's wool, which so far hasn't sold either.

I am working on my Dutch houses. I am Dutch myself, and live in The Netherlands, being able to make houses just like I have around me in my own town is such a blast!! To the left is the Apothecary, the middle house will host pottery workshops and to the right is the Pottery studio and store. To the far right two private houses.I am absolutely in love with this expansion, have not been this enchanted with The Sims for years, and I haven't even started actual gameplay yet! I've never shared any creations on the Gallery before, but I might consider sharing this one when it's finished. Great job EA! Really well done thank you!

Tested out conducting a Painting class. My Sim is a level 10 painter and top of the painting career, so she knows her stuff. 😃 The class went well, was well attended, although some students wandered in an out and she had to scrap a lot of paintings to let someone else have an easel, but she did also manage to sell a lot of her own paintings on the selling wall there. The only hiccup was, although her husband was home (that green ghost there), she kept wanting to go take care of their toddler who had wandered out of the house and the husband just wanted to stand around and observe, but I guess that's the risk with an at home business. LOL!

Her pottery business is great! 🙂Very nice design of the store and great classes area. It is great that she sells flowers and nectar also. I hope that her business continues to go well.

This is my supervillain simette. She earned 500k by farming dragon fruits and making nectars. She is on top of her professional career being agent and has collected many perks and points to boost her achievements. She is also a werewolf and the leader of the pack. So there is a lot to unpack with her and her journey. That was it about her history in a nutshell. The minute the opportunity to have home business arised she took it and built a pottery class/shop area. She also sells flowers and nectars from her garden in the shop. If your sim wants to add a single flower in the vase they just created in the pottery class they can also buy a flower to go with it...and have some nectar while on it. Her shop has hard to get stuff for supernatural beings such as moonpetal nectar (makes the werewolfs calm) and occasionally she sells ambrosia.

No matter the weather, outdoor weddings will always be a success now.
(Note: It would be nice to move Pergola in Outdoor category instead of Misc. Decorations)

He's another premade in the game. His name is Corey Nyhus. I found him on EnglishSimmer's Townies overview. https://youtu.be/73AFfqRGxQc?si=NVC4u1WBnsQGMfQt&t=1449

I'm waiting to see his information on the wiki to see his career. I haven't bought this pack yet.
