I haven't built one, but I saw some in the Gallery.

This one's lot type is Retail. This might be a silly question, but you have Get to Work, right? Retail lots won't work unless you have the Get to Work expansion.

I have one in my gallery:

Mine works, for sure, I've play tested it, but it has flower arrangements and gnomes for sale... not too sure what "gifts" you are looking for but you could always change some up some of the items for sale.

However, if none of them seem to be working for you, do you have the Get to Work expansion pack? All retail lots do need that pack. Also, when you place the lot, are you changing the lot type to "retail"? I noticed lately it seems to be wanting to place everything as residential lately and I have to manually change a lot of what I download.

The other thing you might need to do, if you own GTW and it's set to retail, and you still can't buy anything, you might need to make a shop owner and go open the shop for a day and tag all the items you wish to sell "for sale".

Shopping is not very straightforward. You need to have a sim own the shop, then set the items for sale. After this you can continue to run the shop or you can sell it and it will be run by NPCs. If you download a shop that hasn't set items for sale you won't be able to shop in it. I have one flower shop in my gallery on a 20x20 lot and it should work.

I didn't know that. So when you download a shop from the Gallery, do you always have to have someone purchase it and set things for sale? I ask because I know a lot of things reset in the gallery, like upgraded items will never be upgraded when you download from the gallery. Can you ever play a shop straight from the Gallery?

If items have been set for sale, yes, you should be able to shop straight from the gallery. As far as I know, upgrades don't transfer in the gallery.

I just found in one of the sims groups on fb someone who made a garden center as retail business, her gallery id is Beckiauds931 , it looked pretty!

I have one in the gallery @SamadamsPlayer - It should function as a store your sim can go to and purchase. As it does in my saved games. I don't play as a retailer in my games.

If perchance it doesn't give your sims the money to buy the lot Money xyz set everything for sale - add back the vases if they disappear too, and then sell the lot and change the money to what it was before.

In this lot I focused on making all the flowers timeless. So they don't have any emotions.



@phantasmkiss I have retail lots I made, bakery, flower, clothing that I haven't had to purchase and put things on sale again. The only shop I have that I have to constantly do that for is the photography shop I created.

Thanks for the answers, @crocobaura and @troshalom ! I usually playtest, but if I make more retail lots I'll be sure to set things for sale before I put them on the gallery.

I hope @SamadamsPlayer got things worked out.
