Would you like a Grocery Store Game Pack?

Not just grocery stores. I would like the Pet shop back with options to buy birds, hamsters, fish etc as we could do in previous games. We could just get rid of one of those 3 stores in Magnolia Promenade to put them in.

Plus the option to actually be the owner and greet and serve customers first hand.

Not really. We can already build stores to buy/sell food with Get to Work. You can also set up sales tables in a community space in Eco Living and essentially create a whole farmer's market. I just don't see what a Grocery Store pack would add that's actually new (I guess aside from a "put this in my basket" animation) and not just more of the same with different labels.

I've got nothing against people cheering for it; just don't know if I would personally would buy it.

Ugh. No. Which probably means it will happen.

Building grocery stores sounds like fun, but a whole game pack just for that? not impressed. I was ok with resturants having their own pack but grocery stores sounds too similar to retail so probably doesnt warrant its own one.

Shopping from those Eco lifestyle sales tables can be so difficult because sometimes there's produce on display but the owner does something else and the option to buy it's not available. Same thing with the food stands, they are never open when you need them and sometimes they have what you need, sometimes they don't. A grocery store would solve so many issues, and we could also order stuff online. We can already buy some things online like apples and potatoes and the seed packets but it would be good to have a dedicated shop just for food stuff, vegetables, fruits, fish, herbs, meat cubes, etc. I don't want all my sims to do gardening or fish just so they could get the ingredients for certain foods.

If it adds more realism to the game then sure. I think the pack would need to include more than just a grocery store though.

I'd love to have grocery stores, but a game pack is too big for just grocery stores. I think they should be a part of some expansion pack.

Wouldn't mind it as base game as S2 had it relatively simple. I do like the idea still of sims being able to run out of food and having to either go buy it themselves or just order by phone. No need for it to be a pack.

And it could also work in a retail setting for GTW as well.

I'm not that thrilled with the idea of a grocery store, but I really would like to have some sort of farmer's market where Sims could buy fresh produce or sell their own homegrown fruits and vegetables. Something like the market that came with Monte Vista in the Sims 3 Store, for example.

Add market carts that would work similar to the flea market tables, but just for gardening produce (could maybe be used for flowers as well, especially with all the new flowers in Seasons).

If we did have grocery stores, I'd like the option of being able to order the groceries and have them delivered -- I think Sims 2 had that? So if your Sim doesn't have time to go to the actual grocery store, they and their families wouldn't starve.

Thanks to the Chinese virus the brick and mortar stores are almost dead. More people are ordering there groceries online and getting them delivered. Since everything has gone to pot my wife and I have had our groceries delivered. The Sims online shopping needs a major upgrade.

I've got a small grocery order coming this afternoon in fact. :) Delivery was increasingly A Thing even before COVID. I could get behind a patch allowing Sims to order groceries by clicking on the fridge and ordering the ingredients (some smart refrigerators have that option -- they're connected to the Internet so you just surf to your favorite market) then they show up in a basket a few Sim hours later.
