Can we have cash register system just like OFB had? We could have an option to use either cash register or the tablet and also I really don't like how costumers use "wave like a jedi thing" and the item disappear (haven't heard of shopping bags?) And speaking of shopping bags we could have different one like plastic or paper. Please please devs I really like OFB and it would be lovely to make an update in GTW.

I personally never bothered with the retail aspect of GTW because I couldn't stand how unrealistic it was. Didn't like that my employees wouldn't even stand behind the counter... A major immersion breaker for me. The whole thing doesn't feel like retail at all. I've only ever seen tablet sales in restaurants irl and it makes sense to me - clothing stores, etc. ? Nope.
Yeah, i think we all know that they will never do this. To much resources need from EA, the greedy company.

They did it with toddlers, things were ok since then, they screw things up with this new SP. So this is a good oportunity to give something free and make costumers happy
Checking out via tablet I actually see pretty often in stores. Mostly when they're busy and the tablet is used as another way to check customer's out and I see it in cell phone stores as well. I'd like to see sims walking around with bags after they purchase something. I loved OFB, but at the same time I disliked it because it was so difficult running your own at times.
In a sandbox game like the Sims difficulty is needed because this type of game itself (the concept) aren't challenger. Make it easy, it starts to feel like we are playing Barbie dolls.

Never said I didn't enjoy some difficulty. I'm more so just wanting more 'OPTIONS' for a sandbox game.
Makes you feel like a lot of things are out of date, which just about mimics how today's technology is. I literally don't have a landline in my house like at all because I have a cell phone and I find it cheaper to have. So, didn't find it odd that sims just have cellphones and no sort of landline phones at all. Newspapers are available at convenience stores and such, but I rarely see anyone get it delivered petty sure there might be some people but not so much with how tech is today.
Registers definitely aren't out of style yet, but most of them are just touch screens. Though Sim's AI is always pretty wonky I feel like the ones standing in line would wander off to look at something or dance to some music across the room. XD
Mystery solved. ::sigh::
Pretty reasonable, until you know it's not consistent. Stairs are a thing, takes too long to have your sims to get from point A to B: where are my elevators? Why isn't an online-shop a thing? It's such a hassle to go from lot to lot through a loading, having to restock everything manually, having to walk around rooms to talk to employees. You can't even have lonely introverted sims (which isn't a case in TS4, THANK U EMOTIONS 4 OVERRIDING TRAITS) reserve a table on their tablet without having your sim suffer the social host approaching. Why is a restaurant a complete different experience from a retail store, when it comes to the timeline theme?
I'm pretty sure that developers didn't have budget, as they always complained/whined as a response to their excuses for the cut/lost/lack of animations, to implant customers holding a bad and sims awkwardly pressing the buttons on the keyboard.
Don't get your fingers cross, as the sims team rarely If not even return to past expansion pack features to add such tweaks to that of a level.
