Beautiful stores dear @SoulGal7! Yes as @AIRIS6962 says replace it dear, the rules is you can't add another item to sale till Friday, but you can replace!
Yes the story sounds wonderful please give us a link so we can read also!
@EuphorialQueen I'm also with @AIRIS6962 when building one put your first 8 items that cost fairly good amount of money! Use the floors that cost $o and the walls that cost $2 that will give you more money to place more costly items! Think small small and compact also! Most of all have wonderful fun!
P.S. Buydebug has a lot of items you can use that cost $0 to decor with, like the little books I put in my bookstore and a lot of the items I put in my toy store was $0 but was epic for build cost and spruced them up a ton!
Thanks @BreeMiles for reading. I have played Hank until Friday and Hallie has some catch-up to do. I wish there was a way to set the hours for the retail store so that they would start at a certain time and end at a certain time, but there is no way to do this. So, for now, I am having them work, work, work on long shifts. l'm so hard on them! lol
Nursery Plants Store looks wonderful @AIRIS6962 , such a cute and beautiful gardening store! And the same goes for your Seafoam house, fantastic house! Hehe, and awesome your elderly testing couple has put Luke up as a guest.
Thank you for the tip @BreeMiles ! I have seen creators use that indeed, but the problem with that is when you use your own custom pictures, the lot will show up as CC on the Gallery which would just not be a truthful description as I don't use custom content in my builds. Oh well, will just have to make it work with the standard Maxis gallery pics.
Ooooh, such a marvellous idea to create a siblings duo @SoulGal7 , and both Hank and Hallie look wonderful. Fantastic idea to give them both different stores and both an electronics and clothing store sound like so much fun to run. Both your stores also look great (and I love the name Threads! ). And I see you posted the first part of their story already (think it is a wonderful idea to combine and compare their experiences day to day!). Off to read after posting here!
Edit:
Love the beginning of your story Soulgal! Both Hank and Hallie look wonderful and they really fit the look of their stores as well as the tyoe of store! Can't wait to read more of their retail adventures!
@BreeMiles & @AIRIS6962 - 1 quick question on how many items you can sell. I understand the 8 items, but can you have the same item in different colors for sale. For example, if I have the Lucky shirt as one of my 8, can I sell that in the 3 available colors, so then I would actually have 11 objects for sale, but 2 would be duplicate items? Does that make sense? Just curious on this. Thanks
@Corwim - oh thank you so much for reading my blog. I had started just with Hank, so he is ahead. Then I got the idea of comparing stores and so that's where I got the idea of retail wars. Hank has such a small store and he spends most of the time doing the retail questions. Hallie, on the other hand, has no time to do much of anything, she is pretty much run ragged. Ok, I am running them ragged. haha!
Oh, this one was a nice chapter also! I can't wait to read the one where they are both in the same save file! Bet it will be Epic! Way to go Hallie for showing Hank up in the contest!
Sorry, sweetie, I thought I had posted back to you on the contest winnings! I put it in the Q&A and forgot to answer you perhaps!
Question: On Sunday, which is a day off, can my sim travel to San Myshuno and participate in the karaoke contest?
Answer: Yes they can participate in the contest in the city but all winnings have to be donated to charity or used only to upgrade your store!
About your question: The number of objects on sale counts. Although you would sell only11 identicalt t-shirts, you were selling 11 already!
I hope I explained well.
@SoulGal7
I think you need to start with the 8, then each Friday add another color if you want! I think its better to keep the starting off at 8 only and add 1 each Friday!
Oh my gosh that one tops all them, dear! I love the story and have learned so much about the clothing side of it! Love the stores they are amazing and neat also! I didn't get the name of the mannequins till you noted it! I love Pretty Women also! One of my fav's! I wanted to know also do the sign's help bring in the customer? I never put any in mine! My sims go over the normal work hours also and have to jump right back up and start again in order to work the next day! By the time Sunday rolls around I think it work time again then look and I'm like know it's my day off! RL works that way also I suppose! Anyways sweetie I'm loving following a long with your story's!
Its Friday in my game an my sim has had her best sale day ever in the Toy store! She has reached the goal now an she has 17,000 Plus for her residences lot! So now I will make the residences lot with the money my sim has made from the store! I think after playing this challenge I will never have my sims get a job! They can earn more money in retail sales than they can in the regular professions!
But my story don't end there! I will find the hub and have a baby or adopt my heir for my Toy Store and raise it till its time for it to take over the store, if 'n my sim lives long enough!
My dream home under construction!
Soon no more cooped up in the Toy Store for my sim
Thank you dear @AIRIS6962!
I wanted to come and add here a bit about expanding your business! I need a larger lot as I was wanting to add some of the larger outdoor toys for the kids so I needed the bigger lot to do this! In the moving process, I saved the toy store as I have it now with all the upgraded sale Items! I placed it on a bigger lot then sold my small retail store and purchased the one on the bigger lot! Now I will have room to expand and place the bigger outdoor items for sale each Friday! The customers stayed the same and I still had all my perks, that I had purchased from the small store! I did, however, have to hire new employees! Let's hope these two new ones work out as good as the old ones I had from the small store! On with the Retail store challenge! I haven't had time enough to find a hub or a adopt a kid! Wish I had more days off! Does this sound like Real Life or what? LOL
@BreeMiles I was wondering if the perks were specific to the store or the owner of the store.
Good thing to know there is an option to move to another lot.
Watching this thread with interest and learning a few tips.
BuyDeBug is your Friend in this, for Decor items that cost 0 Simoleons
I am finding some items in BuyDeBug do not 'stick' on a lot when uploaded.
Not a game changer but some items found using **Debug** will not show up when the lot is downloaded,

Edit
Okay I read and love and this is my favorite part it made me roll laughing because my sim was in the same boat!
"They are both broke. Not a single simoleon to their name. Everything invested in their store."
Lovely story!

This week I have my daughter at home, so I have no time to play.
I almost forgot! @BreeMiles dear, that house is looking gorgeous!
