The Sims 4: Businesses & Hobbies - Official Screenshot Thread!

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. 

Thank you. To be honest it was this aspect of the pack that made me wish to have it. I took ceramics in high school and for some reason was never able to even try throwing a pot. I think the teacher didn't like me. We clashed a bit over drawing and painting styles. I'm not in favor of what looks like scribbling . . .  Me and my big mouth. I was a Junior, at the time. I don't really know if that was why I never got the option. But I still have yet to try it out. Yes, living vicariously through my Sim.  

Vlad considers deeply if he should walk inside this particular small business

I really like the new main menu background 🥰 suits the game better than the weird lobby we had first 😅
// and yes Simmingal has 5 simoleons on her bank account cause she is so skilled at running small business 🤣

Your build is looking lovely! 🙂Very great exterior design, wall textures,dormers and roofing. It would be great if you shared it on the gallery.

Your makeover of your sim is lovely 🙂Her outfit is very nice and the cowplant tattoo is great! 

It is great that your painting class went well 🙂It is a very nice photo of all the sims enjoying painting on the easels at the class. It is great that she made money from selling her own art at the same time.

It is great that the farm life experience theme went well 🙂It is very nice that sims enjoyed buying and eating the baked goods,buying milk and eggs from the display unit and seeing the animals. It wasn’t good that someone though froze to death from the cold! 

I like the new main menu background too! 🙂 It is great to see after booting up the game. I hope that SimmingGal’s small business gets better! 

I brought back Mitzy, most even if they been around awhile may not remember her but she's the sim I made for get to work I played her a few different ways and she's had a lot of businesses. It was time to try something new and I was so excited to get back to her.

I got it on release cause preorder but then I had to work early and had to wait so haven't played much but! I'm eager.

She has started her first home business which is nice I loved to do that in ts2, how can one look so unhappy with a brand new place and candy? Speaking of I am recording vids now no talking at the moment (leftover cough so can't record coughing up a lung anyways.)
