hey guys James here today and welcome to
another Sims 4 tutorial this one is just
to teach you how do you open and run
your own business lot so it's pretty
simple when you jump into the game if
you open up your phone there will
actually be a button right here that
says buy a retail store now you cannot
open a home business in the sims will
get to work you have to purchase another
lot to do that on and you can purchase a
lot in any of the worlds in Willow Creek
Oasis Springs or the new Magnolia
promenade you can purchase anywhere in
those make a store anywhere it just has
to be separate from your home lot so I'm
going to choose one from Magnolia
promenade one that's already been
created so we'll discover this one here
so you just purchase it so you can perch
it as furnished or unfurnished and
whatever you want to do otis bulldoze it
you can pick an existing lot or one
that's empty you build your own store
etc etc but I'm going to show you just
with an existing store so that you can
get a good idea of how everything works
now this is something important to
understand you can own multiple retail
stores and each retail store has its own
funds so currently I have eight hundred
and seventy two thousand in my household
fund but the store has nothing so on the
store lot we can't actually buy or
replace anything because there's no
money for the store so what you do you
want to transfer from your household to
your current retail store let's transfer
five thousand dollars you just enter the
amount you want to confirm transfer
it'll take it out of your household
funds and put it into the store menu
which is down here and the bottom right
says retail store and this is where you
get all the information about your
stores so you can see the current amount
of money in the stores fund so that you
can use that to restock to build and to
buy new things and you can see your sort
of incoming incoming outgoing costs and
your net profits you can set a price
markup for the entire store in one go
you can also manage your employees and
the menu here so you can hire new
employees and that kind of stuff and of
course you can set the employee uniforms
in here and you can sell the store now
one there's also more useful features as
well on if you click on the cash
register one of them I find particularly
useful is clicking on toggle for sale
tag if you click on that it will show
you what items in your store are
currently for sale and currently there
are none for sale so how do you set an
item for sale it's pretty simple
just click on whatever you want to set
sail and click set the sail now because
we have got those these little for sale
tags turn on you can see immediately
what you're trying to sell so you can
just go around and click on all the
items that you want seems to be able to
buy it's as simple as an and if you
don't like those tags so those tags are
really only useful when you're sort of
selecting the items you want to set for
sale so you can just turn those off and
now they just disappear and it just
works in the background and of course
from here you can set all the store
prices the employee uniforms you can
also purchase advertising for your
stores you can get television ads web
campaigns and that kind of stuff to help
bring in more sims and there's an open
and closed store button there it's also
in the menu over here to open and close
your store
that's pretty like I mean as far as
stores go they're pretty straightforward
but a few things can be kind of hidden
which is why I wanted to do this little
little tutorial especially with the
whole funds system you've got to
understand that the the money that you
have for your house which is in the
bottom left is separate from the money
that the store has and again if you want
to quickly transfer money you can click
on this button here at the bottom left
and you can transfer money between any
retail store that you own and your
household or you can even transfer funds
between two retail stores if you have a
couple of stores and you want one store
to have a bit more money for renovations
or something that like that you can do
that so that's pretty much what you need
to know to get started with retail
stores other than that it's pretty
straight forward you gain perk points
down the bottom here as you talk to
customers make sales and generally
progress and what you can use those for
it's very similar to the the additional
traits reward system in the base game so
you get the points and then you can buy
certain attributes that either help you
out or give you a temporary effect to
you know improve something about the
store so that's retail stores that
that's sort of just a really basic
introduction to them but I hope this
helps you get started with them and I'll
tell you what there are a lot of fund
and they're a lot of fun to play around
with if you want to see more about
retail stores you can check out my rags
to riches series in the sims for get to
work I'll have that link down below but
yeah that's it for me today guys thank
you so much for watching I will see you
next time and have
someday
