Sims 4: Open retail - you should know that

With the "Get to Work" expansion, you can open a retail outlet in "The Sims 4". You can find out how this works and what you should pay attention to in this practical tip.

How to open a retail store in "The Sims 4"

Each Sim can open a retail outlet in "The Sims 4 - To Work". You have two options. We show you how to do it here:

1. Click the checkout icon at the bottom right and select "Buy a Retail" from the drop-down menu. Then choose the plot for your retail business.
2. Click on your Sim's cell phone and select the house icon. Decide on the point "buy a retail". In this case too, the search for a suitable property follows.

Design and prepare goods in "The Sims 4"

As soon as you have chosen a property, you have to transfer money from the household budget to the business account. Then it goes to the establishment of the shop, unless you have chosen an existing shop. For this you need at least one cash register to open. What else you should know:

• Select the objects you want to sell and click on "Mark as for sale". You can switch over all objects to be sold at the checkout.
• You should either put on random mannequins or make them yourself. You can do this by clicking on the respective dolls. You can also determine the poses of the mannequins.
• With a click on the cash register, you can set the shop prices and decide how much profit you want to earn. Marketing can also be placed here.

Sims 4: Find and manage employees for your retail

Once you've created the retail, you need to find and manage the right people. Find out what you should know about it here:

• Via the cash register symbol you can click on the person with the wrench and get into the administration of the employees. Employees can be hired there. Choose the Sim that works at the cheapest price and has the most experience.
• You can initially only hire one employee. However, two other employees can be unlocked via the trade advantages.
• With the trade advantages, you can also unlock other promotions, such as "collect faster" or "fill up immediately".
• With a click on the respective employee, work tasks can be assigned. For example, you can specify whether your employee should collect customers, answer customer questions, clean the store, or replenish sold goods. Your Sim itself can also interact with customers, which you should also use because inexperienced employees are very unmotivated.
• Your Sim should also interact with employees to build a good relationship. You should promote good employees and reprimand those who are just lazing around.
