Can You Run an Art Gallery?

GoldenBuffy

I want to make an art gallery for my artist sim. I built the lot but I can't have him sell his own paintings. Is there a way to do that?

Perhaps check Carls guide for retail and paintings. Maybe they have the info.

Did you have your Sim buy the retail lot? Did your Sim set them for sale? Do you have a cash register on the lot? All those things are basic needs to be done before you can open the store and sell paintings. I could go into detail, but @Writin_Reg gave a very good suggestion to check Carl's Sims 4 guide. There's a wealth of information there on all aspects of the game, I go there all the time. Here's a link if needed:

I tried just now, it seems to work fine for me. I dragged my painting from my inventory to a wall and I was able to set it for sale.

I've done all of that. I have other sims who run other businesses, just not sure what's going on with this lot. I don't get an option to set the paintings for sale, and the major thing that I've noticed is that I can't change the lot. I get the message along the lines of: Can't change while this is a retail lot.

I've never had that issue before. I'm wondering if I have a outdated mod in my game? Also, when I go to buy any other lot I get a message saying I can't purchase a restaurant lot that is not owned. Never seen that before either.

try it without mods and see if it works.
