Has anyone done a clothing retail lot?

aaronrulz

I want my sim to own her own fashion boutique selling clothes. I'm going to set up the mannequins to have different outfits but what else could she sell? I like the idea but it sounds like it could be boring just selling the clothes off the mannequin. Ideas welcome.

Also, know any CC clutter/decorations for a boutique shop (clothes on racks, hanging clothes...etc.)? Hanging clothes we have in the game already is not very great.

I have done a little boutique. I use mannequins, but also closets so sims go there to try outfits and customers participate. You can have a fashion club to hang around. You can also sell bottles of perfums, body creams, shirts piles, every items of decoration that goes with the theme.

Also the coat stands and shoe racks.

I created a small dress shop owned by a female from WC who went to Paris to study fashion and reinvented herself as a French fashion designer. She returned to Newcrest and opened a dress shop calling herself Gigi. Gigi's House of Fashion. It is set up with a stage like area where mannequins are placed to look as if they are walking the runway. Customers can step up on the runway to view the dresses and try one on or sit in the viewing area and sip tea or coffee. #dannydanbo

I add a bunch of clutter items, makeup trays, perfumes, colognes, folded clothes, etc. It’s a shame that a bunch of these small clutter items don’t fit on the displays given in the pack, but I make do with what I can display them on.

Basically what this individual has said. The closets and clubs is also a fun idea. You could make a club making the boutique their hangout, not sure if you can set a retail lot as a club hangout in the options, but it would be very interesting to see the club host gatherings there during an open shift.

I've done it with the fashion club and it worked great, but don't use a large groupe, 3 members is fine. I have a shopping crasy club. They come at all my boutiques and stores. You have to find the right parameters et it works just great ! :)

You sell this stuff, plus fragrances and other relevant items:

It can be done, but they don't really sell for all that much. iirc its about 200-300 simoleans per outfit

Another fun thing about clothes stores is that you will see sims in the world wearing outfits they've purchased from your store.

i built these shops a while ago so they aren't that good, but you get the point right? lol.

Yes, this is what I like the most because we can manipulate what they wear without taking each sim to CAS.

YES! Thank you @IceyJ for answering my question!!!

@aaronrulz You're welcome. And here's the original link for that first rack, in case you're wondering what it looks like: http://www.simszoo.de/include.php?path=download&contentid=52302 (May need to copy link directly into your browser for it to work.)

@pennypolendina Are those shoe boxes in the game or is that CC?

poltergeist

@IceyJ they are in the game, i don't use bb cc. i think they are boxes of files or something like that.

Those boxes are file boxes that came with Get To Work, the cop career.

@aaronrulz - There is a challenge in the forums called The Retail Challenge, and I did a retail clothing store vs an electronics store. If you would like to view my blog, there are tons of ideas there. It was a rivalry called Retail Wars.

I had one where I sold everything I sold about three outfits for each gender and then I also sold dressers, doll houses, dishwashers, sinks, EVERYTHING.
