Share your Savvy Seller's Shop Creations «123...Next Go

I've got to admit that I haven't even played with Midnight Hollow yet, even though I bought it right when it was released. :oops:

I think it might take a while to get around to that. I mainly bought it for the Savvy Seller's Collection, because I so want to add shops of all sorts in all my towns and maybe even a mall or two. I didn't see where anyone else started a thread for just sharing shops they've created, so I thought I would start one.

I want to see all your shops that you have created, so this is a share your shops thread for any world and not for just Midnight Hollow, just as long as its a shop or a venue of some sort created with the Savvy Seller's Collection set from Midnight Hollow. If you've uploaded your creation please provide a link for easy access and it would probably be a good idea to also let everyone know if you used custom content or not in your creation. I can't wait to see everyone's creations! :P

JodieH777

I've only had time to create two things so far. The first one is a Flower and Garden shop. It has no custom content and I built it in Bridgeport, but I think it would fit well in most towns. I set all my prices to 50% of original price, so that it pays to go shopping rather than buying straight from the catalog.

My other lot is a car sales lot also built in Bridgeport and with no custom content. You have to place your own cars because it just won't upload with cars on the lot, sorry. You have to have a sim buy the lot and then buy the cars from their home residence and then go to the lot to place the cars. Very inconvenient, I sure hope they decide to make cars available for community lots in a patch or something to make it easier to do a car lot, anyway I am still having a lot of fun with my car lot. I got great deals for the whole family.

Great Shops Rec'd them and bookmarked so I can add to your thread. I did a Toy Shop yesterday and will have to get pictures ready.

Great lots JodieH777! the nice thing about the savvy seller collection is that it is flexible and can be used to create different style shops in each world!

I've been so short of time this week but I did manage to update my dockyard:

My criminal sims (not played with them for a while, they need a good cas):

I actually got a bit overwhelmed last night, there were so many options I didn't know where to start building! :oops:

JodieH777

Thank you luckyheather for the Rec'd, I can't wait to see your Toy Shop.


Cinderellimouse I hear ya, there are so many things to build and so little time. :shock: Your dock looks great, what a creative idea! Thank you for sharing, I just love that the guy peed in the toilet, talk about getting used goods, LOL!

Thank you, I was having a hard time yesterday searching through threads trying to find shops that others have created and I am hoping this thread will help bring some of those shops together in one place. :-)

Such a brilliant idea Cinderellimouse it made me think of the dock plots in 'Lucky Palms' maybe when I get time lol...so many ideas and only one pair of hands

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with that general area. I can't wait to play an investigator and have them lurk around waiting to spy on dodgy deals!

Has anybody tried combining Savvy Seller with the seasonal lot marker? It could be fun to have a gift shop that sells different items with each season (flowers and bunny decor in Spring, etc), but I haven't actually gotten to try it out yet. I am trying to force myself to actually stick with a family for more than one generation, so even though I bought MH I haven't gotten into it or the premium stuff yet.

It seems like it would work, unless the changing of the seasons (and therefore the items) would interfere with the whole price setting thing.... ?

JodieH777

Love your toy shop luckyheather. I downloaded and rec'd. I'm going to try it out in Dragon Valley this weekend, I think it will look great there. Thank you for sharing.

That sounds like a neat idea!

I don't know if anyone has tried that yet. I certainly haven't, messing around with the seasonal lot marker has been on my list of things to do, but haven't gotten around to that yet, LOL. Maybe somebody will take you up on that challenge.

Savvy Seller's rugs are great for consignment stores.

I decided to spiff up one of my consignment stores with the Savvy Seller's rugs to see if I could sell everything on display in it. It worked great, I just put the rugs under everything I wanted to sell and recolored them to match my store like so:





This area I completely covered with rugs and made them a solid color, so you can't even tell they are there:



Now everyone shops around, instead of just taking books off the bookshelves to sit there and read the whole time:



And you can still use the consignment register to buy and sell your collectibles and creations:



The Altos trying out the double bed before they decide to buy it or not, LOL:

Sure I can do that. The consignment store is already in my studio, but I will upload the new updated version this evening and post the link for it.

Oily! Love your shop and will be dl'ing/rec'ing as soon as you upload. Nice job!

What great ideas...love the idea of combining consignment with SS rugs. I'm a bit of a lazy one when it comes to commercial lots.

Fantastic builds on here! The criminal docks- very creative

My first store was an art supply store. I discovered that easels can't be sold, but other artsy supplies and tools are good to go

Only through the consignment register that came with Ambitions, you can't sell what you made with the Savvy Seller's stuff though. I just added the Savvy Seller's rugs to my consignment shop, so I could sell the items that I had on display in it.

I love what you've done with the Midnight Hollow Shops. There much brighter and more colorful, so much easier on the eyes than the original shops. Thank you so much for sharing, downloading and rec'd.


Oilbasedoleander
What do you mean your flower shop isn't as good as mine! :shock: It's adorable, and looks like its perfect for Midnight Hollow! I hope you can get your link working.


jennytru
Your art store is so cute, I can't wait to try it out, I'm going to download and rec'd right now, thank you for sharing.

JodieH777

Here's my Savvy Seller's consignment shop. There's no CC. I hope you enjoy.

This is what it looks like on the outside:

Cinderellimouse

Yeah! I can finally join in!!! I finished building this lot last night. Like the lots in Midnight Hollow it's divided up into different businesses.

(I have to admit I stole some of Weealbet's idea from his 'Let's build a store - part 2' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z36Tg7TxHWs&feature=c4-overview&list=UUoR9Ip7wTdTPmLPOQplBYmQ )

And I was just testing the lot so the sims are a bit randomly dressed. :oops:

This is the exterior of the shop. It's not in MH, it's in my world in the arty section that needs building up.



This section is the magic store selling wands and other bits and bobs.







I enclosed the register in the new fencing which I'm very happy with!



Then this is my elixir shop. I was playing around with my witch sim, if she owns the lot she can decorate it with her magician items and also sell some elixirs!!! I can also get her to decorate the shelving with gemstones (I wish we could sell these items with the savvy seller so that sims could buy them, but they vanish if I load another household so I guess it's the gems/elixirs that's causing the issue, but this is a nice thing to do anyway.)





Then there's a sneaky door that leads to the upstairs tearooms. I was recently gifted the Through the Looking Glass sets and I found the items PERFECT for a cute, quirky tea room!







And finally there is an underground werewolf bar! Full of tree décor to make them feel comfortable.









I'm going to replace the fence with the new tree divider from the new set, and also replace the lights over the bar and dj booth.

The only issue is that the sims keep leaving the bar to go and browse the items for sale! I think I might have to add the savvy seller doors or something. :oops:

Cool...love it ...I will download it tonight...
