🌟 How to Sell Items at Market Stalls

✅ Option 1: Sell at Festivals & Public Markets

• Visit the Arts Quarter, Uptown, or Myshuno Meadows during events.
• Find an unattended stall → View Inventory → Tend Table.
• Drag items from your Sim’s inventory into the stall.
• Set markup and start calling customers!

✅ Option 2: Buy Your Own Market Stall

• Open Build/Buy Mode.
• Search for Market Stall (this includes food stalls, craft stalls, and vendor booths).
• Place it on your home lot or retail lot.
• Load your items into the stall and Tend Table just like at festivals.

This lets your Sim sell anytime, anywhere — perfect for backyard craft sales or home-based businesses!
