Hi all - so at the moment I'm working on a new, relatively small communal lot.
So far I have a small florist, beside a bistro/bar type lot on the ground floor. Just a small speak-easy type space for locals to meet and brunch, share a bottle of wine etc.
I'd like your thoughts on how I can make this lot work. To my mind, if I make it a retail business (for the florist), the adjoining bar would be for show only. If I make it a restaurant, the florist is purely decorative.
If it is a retail business owned by my Sim and I place a bar, I assume that they will have to hire a mixologist? Ideally I'd like for the bar to be something which exists for passing Sims to enjoy and not necessarily contribute at all to the actual retail business. I guess the alternative would be to run both at the same time which sounds super stressful. 😂
I suppose my goal is to create something a bit more "real-life" where lots of different businesses are close together, almost to the point of overlapping and giving it a more accurate street-feel.
Any tips from you guys would be very much appreciated.

Well you can definitely sell books with the Get To Work EP so I think that could work but again, without a functional cafe.
Thanks for the pointers. I ended up making the area a bar and hiring a mixologist but the NPC's are oblivious to it. 🤦♂️
I'm reverting back to my original plan which was to make it a mixed play/relaxing space with the vending cooler and other things you mention. Wish me luck!

Just build a cafe with bookcases. Sims will drink coffee and leave with the books if they put them in the inventory instead of leaving them scattered around.
