I cloned the GTW retail registers and added ‘Buy Supplies’ interactions based on the catch of the day fish stall from Cats and Dogs and the groceries you can buy from the City Living stalls. Things ran much more smoothly, our Sim could choose to be as involved or as hands-off with the customers as we wanted him to be, we made more sales and restocked more efficiently thanks to having employees who actually stayed focused on the tasks they were given.This is just a little mod I needed for my own game. It was amazing to us how just these small changes in autonomy alone made such a big impact on our overall retail experience. We attribute this to the mod as well but we definitely recommend avoiding hiring university students as retail employees. Eric was a much more diligent employee, taking care of his assigned duties in a timely manner and staying focused on his tasks. That’s when it occurred to us that maybe hiring a university student maybe wasn’t the best idea so we fired her and replaced her with Eric Lewis.
All she did was sit outside doing her university coursework and ignoring her job completely.
Our Sim could still talk up customers to make sales and earn retail points of course but it felt like less of a burden to do so.Īt first, we were underwhelmed by our employee, who seemed to do nothing she was told no matter how many times we assigned her a task or scolded her for slacking off. Carl’s Retail Reloaded mod made customers much more likely to make purchases on their own and their sales bars increased more quickly. While there are retail perks to help speed things along, it never quite felt like enough of a bonus to be worth the points you spent on them. It took a very long time to convince a single customer to purchase something, leaving you too busy to help any other customers or take care of other retail duties. While a nice idea in theory to challenge players, it was a bit exhausting. Customers were very unlikely to buy anything without you or an employee chatting them up to promote your stock.
Typically when running a retail business, you’d have to baby the customers and work for every sale. Then it was time to hire an employee to help out and open up the business! It didn’t take us very long at all to notice a huge difference in the way things functioned! Most notably, how the customers behaved.Ĭustomers were overall more self-sufficient and less needy. We quickly randomised a Sim and gave him some funds to purchase the Paddywack’s Emporium retail lot in Magnolia Promenade.
