Misc: Ultimate List of Business Ideas ♥ [UPDATED]

Hi ❀ʕ·��·ʔ

Today, after hours of brainstorming and collecting impressions, I proudly present to you the ultimate list of business ideas for the newly released Businesses & Hobbies pack ✧. ✲ﾟ･｡✧･ﾟ

I've categorized the business ideas to provide a more structured overview, because there are so many  (๑❛ʚ❛๑). They are sorted into the following categories: 📌 Service-based small businesses 🍽️ Restaurants & entertainment venues 🛍️ Retail & creative shops 🛠️ Craft & manufacturing businesses 🎭 Fantasy & unconventional businesses.

Also for some of these ideas, I recommend using CC or mods to deepen the immersion, but that's completely up to you — sometimes using your own imagination does the trick too~ The recommended or sometimes necessary packs are included behind the business idea as well as CC/mod recommendation markers ❀✿❀

If you feel like something's missing, please comment your idea(s) and I will happily add them to the list so that the compendium can continue to grow (◕ω◕✿)

Please take a look at my Patreon for more cute Sims 4 stuff~ You can find the original post here.

As always, happy simming! - MiunaChan ♥

I love the new pack's business branding feature with logos to choose from, but the options are soooo limited, whereas the possibilities are endless with the new mechanics. Zerbu added his icons for the small businesses, but I think the icons don't fit the "logo" language even though I use them for clubs and holidays.

Huge credit to Zerbu because I played with his more icons file to figure out how to do this on my own in a separate package.

If you use Zerbu's more icons mod, you have to remove the small businesses tuning from the package file (unless he has a without logos option, idk).

I am not the 100% original creator for some of these logos and illustrations. They are from Canva Pro, and all credit goes to their respective designers.

It won't work if you have or use other cc that adds custom logos for small businesses.

I've tested this in my game and have been playing with these since the release. I haven't run into any issues. Lmk if you encounter something

inskpire glow light stand edit

my first thought when seeing the tattoo light in the new pack was something along the lines of: that shit does not look stable.

inkspire glow light glued lovingly to a moschino spotlight stand for a more sturdy footing

two versions: stand edit + stand and height edit. both featuring five muted swatches

you can have both versions at once!

this also doesn't override the original, in case you were wanting the ring light equivalent of a giraffe for other reasons

The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies: A List of Small Business Ideas

With the recent announcement of the Businesses & Hobbies expansion pack, we'll be able to run small business on both residential lots or their 'community' lots.

On these lots, you'll be able to charge an entrance or hourly fee, sell items and encourage certain behaviours and actions.

I'm trying to create a list of ideas for different small businesses that it's possible to create, using different content from various other packs. Hopefully it will inspire you once we're able to use the pack!

I've tried to avoid any types of retail space/store, as that would make the list even longer! (Plus I'm not sure how they'll interact with Get to Work.) They're in no particular order, just as I thought of them.

I'm pretty happy with the CAS content from the B&H EP!

I put together a small lookbook with a few styles, but there are so many other items I would have liked to use!
