If you want to sell crafted items like furniture, candles, or decor that your Sim makes using the Fabrication skill, here’s a step-by-step on how to turn it into a home-based business using the Business & Hobbies Pack (plus Eco Lifestyle for Fabrication):
🏡 Setting Up Your Home Business
✅ Step 1: Level Up Fabrication
- Build your Sim’s Fabrication Skill (Eco Lifestyle).
- Use the Fabricator to craft furniture, candles, and décor items.
- Recycle objects around the neighbourhood to get Bits and Pieces (the crafting currency).
✅ Step 2: Activate Home Business Mode (Business & Hobbies Pack)
- On your home lot, enable Home Business Mode (from the business tablet or management system included in the pack).
- Set your business name, hours, and item categories.
✅ Step 3: Display and Stock Items
- Place the fabricated items in your home’s sale area.
- Use provided sales tables, shelves, or counters (from the pack) to showcase products.
- Set individual prices or use global pricing (mark-up %).
✅ Step 4: Open for Customers
- Start your business hours (you can open/close manually).
- NPC customers will visit your home lot, browse, and buy.
- Your Sim can use sales interactions (greet, pitch, answer questions) to boost sales.
✅ Step 5: Manage Finances
- Use the business dashboard to track profits, losses, and inventory.
- Restock popular items or try new designs.
- As you succeed, you can upgrade to handle higher customer flow or expand your product range!
