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.

Today is a very special day for Abigail Hamby......The opening of her new store Candy Lane Sweet Treats! 🤩Customers came from far and wide to check out the new confectionery.It soon became clear to Abigail that she was not going to be able to handle the running of the store and replenishing of stock on her own, so she advertised for an employee. 'Just don't burn the sugar, and you'll be fine!'While Xavier Drew may not be the most apt behind a stove (or candy maker) he does look sweet in pink. 😉Abigail decided to venture out and explore the town that weekend - while she loves her job, it's nice to have some time to not think about work!She decided to try her hand at pottery by signing up to an evening class.She decided to glaze her masterpiece in, you guessed it, pink - it fits into the décor of her apartment rather nicely! 💗As Abigail's renown as a master confectioner grew, she started receiving invitations to host her own cooking classes.Even Grandma Hattie herself decided to listen in for some tips. 😀And of course Xavier was there to support Abigail. 'Well done, Professor Hamby.'😊Xavier requested a very special inking for a very special someone...'So, what d'ya think?''Oh Xavier, seagulls - my favourite animals! But now I've found where I truly belong, I'll never have to fly away again.' 💖And, just as Abigail's business grew, so did her relationship with Zavier. 😍I have a feeling this is just the start of their story... 😘

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!

Out of this Grove is a great place for teens to enjoy visiting 🙂The Star Wars theme of the business and home living areas is great! The spaceship is a great themed touch in the front area. The Richardsons are a lovely family. The design and layout of the teen hangout area is great. Very nice dj booth, dancing and cafe counter area. The furnishing of their living areas is lovely. The kitchen and dining room design is great, and very nice tv watching room. I hope that your work on the arts and crafts studio goes well.

This is my build for The Rouge Note lounge.
Liam and Joselyn, who live in Nordhaven, invited their friends to check out the new lounge.

Your version of the Rouge Note Lounge is lovely 🙂The arch front door and guitar neon sign on the front entrance wall is great. Very lovely bar counter, piano and dining area. The candles are very nice on the tables. It is great that Liam, Joselyn and their friends enjoyed spending time at the lounge.

I pulled the karaoke bar from San Myshuno and put in on a lot in Nordhaven, got rid of all the furniture, and set it up as a bookstore and cafe for my Sim, Felicity and her toddler daughter Sylvia. Here is the cafe.
Here is the reading area.
Those are Felicity's books for sale on the shelves on the right. Below are their living quarters.
And here's the kitchen.

The Bookstore and Cafe is great! 🙂The furnishing is lovely! Very nice design of the cafe area. The patterned rug is very nice and great red and brown colours. The red plant flower is a nice touch in the corner. Very lovely reading area for sims to enjoy buying the books that Felicity has written and reading them there. The kitchen, dining and living room areas are lovely. Very nice warm wood textured furniture and great window computer desk area.
