Ok, so both of these expansion packs have been a lot of fun for me. Open for Business was my absolute favourite in TS2 and Ambitions was the very first EP I bought for TS3.
I love the entrepreneurial aspect of OFB because you control everything: what you sell, how much you sell it for, and you can hire (and fire

) employees. In Ambitions, I loved that we actually got to follow our Sims to work and control how well, or not so well, they did in their chosen professions.
My idea is sort of an amalgamation of the two:
I definitely think Sims should be able to run their own businesses, but I think that in addition to selling goods, perhaps they could sell their skills? For example, an artistic Sim could offer to paint portraits, and their charges would be determined by how high their skill level was. Another example would be an athletic Sim offering to train other Sims. For a fee

Our chefs and mixologists could really be hired as professionals to cater for birthday parties, or they could go down the business route and open their own bars or restaurants.
I think this mixture of professions and businesses would actually work really well!
What do you guys think? Feel free to add suggestions!
