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!

Thank you for reminding me that my Sims haven't met Trashley yet, maybe because my Sims always run an honest business. 🤔I'll put the racoons on my to do list. 😁 Yesterday I sent the kids to watch the trains go by, but it took so long that by the time it went by the kids were asleep on the benches. 😄

Today I finally moved Rainbow Trout to her new home and started a tattoo business, Rainy's tattoo 😊 She is still a teen, but I just couldn't wait any longer 😂 Her grandmother lives close by and her mom isn't that far either, so she will be fine, but she may work only weekends at first!
Rainy already had her first customer and got a positive review! I can't wait to play more tomorrow 😊

Today Madison, the mom and owner of the family business, had only a few hours left. She passed the business, and family fortune, to the next heir. Heidi will get married and give birth to generation #13. At the moment she's just a teen and is learning to bake wedding cakes.
RIP Madison.

It is sad that Madison will soon pass away 😥It is a special and lovely photo of her handing over the business and family fortune to Heidi. I hope that Heidi goes well running the business.

Remodeled the tattoo business and changed it into a bubble tea and karaoke home business. Jase and his wife, Nia, run the business while raising their daughter, Alyssa.
Nia cares for the counter while Jase fixes anything that breaks and cleans up.
Sims really enjoy flexing their vocal muscles while using the Karaoke machines.
The residence is upstairs. This is the second floor which consists of the living room, dining room, kitchen and laptop area.
Jase's and Nia's bedroom and master bathroom are on the third floor.
Alyssa bedroom and bathroom are on the fourth floor. The family enjoys viewing the stars on the rooftop patio.

Your makeover of the tattoo business into a bubble tea and karaoke home business is lovely! 🙂The bubble tea drinking animal on the front porch is sweet. Very lovely furnishing of the bubble tea counter platform and the karaoke singing areas. The black and white colours and patterned flooring are very nice. The living areas are lovely and great layout of each level. The purple and white colours of Alyssa’s bedroom is pretty. The rooftop patio would be great to look up at the stars.
