Saleabration Retail System
🕑 Added 2021-11-15 17:51:22 +0000 UTCSul sul friends!
It. Is. Here.
First of all, thank you for being so patient the last few weeks with no releases. This mod has consumed almost every waking hour of my life and I hope it shows. For *three* months I have been working on the Retail Therapy update or the mod previously known as Retail Therapy 2.0. This has transformed into so much more than I initially imagined. It was so fun to have you all along the journey as the mod progressed!
Finally, I present to you the ‘Saleabration Retail System’.
I have tried my best to quickly summarize the important details here, but I will also be doing a live-stream this Wednesday at 5 PM MDT to go over this mini-mod in depth. I will add more documentation as needed. ♥
◊◊◊◊◊◊
Overview
The Saleabration Retail System gives you full control of selling, buying, and creating your very own store! Create a store on *any* lot, set *any* object for sale, adjust prices, earn simoleons, and so much more. You can actively manage a store to earn simoleons or set up an un-owned lot for your sim to travel to as they please.
This entire mini-mod is BGC and doesn’t use any part of the Get To Work retail system. Setting up and/or running a store requires minimal interactions - you get to choose how much you want to manage everything!
◊◊◊◊◊◊
Set it and forget it!
Once you have set an item for sale, it will forever remain that way until you delete it or choose to set it not for sale. When objects are set for sale, they will never decay/spoil and other interactions are disabled to prevent your maid from putting it away or your sim moving it.
You will never need to restock - objects are copied to your sims inventory after purchase leaving the original object as-is. If you are actively running a store, you will be charged a restocking fee to account for this.
◊◊◊◊◊◊
Sell Any Object
You can quickly set items for sale, without being in live mode, using the ‘For Sale Mini Retail Sign’. This sign will automatically set any item on the same surface as sellable. Even if you remove the mini retail sign, the other objects will still remain as sellable.
To set any item that can’t be slotted, you will need to use the ‘Open For Business Controller Sign’ to give your sim the ‘Business Owner’ trait. You can do this by setting up a ‘Unique Retail Business’ (which lets you actively run a store) or by shift+clicking the sign and adding the trait manually.
Once your sim has this trait, you can enable the option to ‘Mark Items for Sale’ which then lets you click on any item in the world and set it for sale. Again, once it is set for sale it will always remain that way! So your sim can even visit a lot, set items for sale, and leave - anytime after that they can visit the lot and buy any sellable item.
◊◊◊◊◊◊
Pricing
Once an object is initially set for sale, it will be available for purchase at it’s current value. If it is a crafted item, this price will be based on its quality and other factors. Essentially, it is the value you would get if you sold through your sims inventory.
You can also markup or discount the cost of an item by clicking on any sellable item. If you are visiting an un-owned lot with sellable items, you can enable the ability to change its cost by shift-clicking the object and choosing ‘Enable Retail Interactions’. You will be able to modify the cost of sellable items for the duration of your visit.
◊◊◊◊◊◊
Sell From Any Lot
If you have Get To Work or other EPs with additional venue types (such as cafes, gyms, retail lots) you can add sellable items to them without affecting their original features. For example, if you have a veterinary clinic you can add pet items, mark them for sale, and then visit the vet for treatment and to buy sellable items.
You can also make a store on your home lot! This is perfect for running a farmers market stand or making a little apartment over a retail store - the sky's the limit.
◊◊◊◊◊◊
Actively running a store
If you want to make running a business your sim’s full time career, you can actively run a store using the ‘Open For Business Controller Sign’. All you need to do is place this sign on your lot and start your business by clicking on the sign. Once you enter a name and description, you will be able to open your business for customers for any length of time - you choose when to close!
Customers will automatically come to your lot and potentially purchase items as long as your store is open. When you decide to close your store, your sim will receive a payout equivalent to the money earned from sales - restocking fees. At the moment, restocking fees are set to 50% but I plan to add the ability to reduce these costs based on skills in the future.
If you accidentally delete the sign it’s no big deal. All you will lose is the name and description you entered.

Hi! Is there a way to add baked or cooked goods for sell on a restaurant lot. Otherwise you can sell stuff on a restaurant-lot, but of course plates disappear from surfaces. Anyway to go around this? Any ideas? Brilliant mod!
RAVASHEEN
hope you enjoy!
Leopoldine
That's amazing, congratulations for your hard work ! 😍😍
Sheena
OMG! I love this. this is gonna be great game play, already have so many ideas. Thank you for all the hard work you do Rava.
RAVASHEEN
oh yea lol, if you hover over the sign it should tell you why.. although i should make a trigger to end the sale if this kind of thing happens lol!
RAVASHEEN
you click on the sign to close it or click the x on the UI that shows up on the top left! also im not getting the same BB exception, but there are some debug items which cant be set for sale because they arent set up to have states which this currently relies on. so i will think if there are some other ways i can account for these type of items!
RAVASHEEN
i didnt ever release retail therapy 2.0 lol, but this works completely on its own and with my other mods!
Shannon Perrine
Yes! You are a Queen!
Toshona Wright-Sutton

RAVASHEEN

RAVASHEEN
I’ll may have just missed a tag! Can u set them with a mini sign?
Stephanie Lechelt
I'm so excited for this! I've been anxiously anticipating it. Thanks so much for all the work you do, you're amazing!
Buntah
Ooops. I just figured out why I couldn't close my store ... my sim had passed out in the back room LOL All is well now.
Buntah
Just to let you know, Better Exceptions mod showed me this when I clicked on an item to set it for sale ... "There is bad tuning in this mod: \RVSN\RVSN_SaleabrationStoreMod_RetailSystem_1_0_0.package Delete it from your mods folder or see if the author has an updated version. If it is a multi-package mod make sure you update all of them. Most of the mod is working fine but I can't figure out how to close my store after I've opened it. I will try to get to your instruction stream tomorrow!!
Rachel King
or the veggies from the garden either

I’m really enjoying this so far, but I’ve realized that my sim can’t mark items they bake or flower arrangements they craft for sale 😭
Heather Thompson
OMG, someone could make Bob's Burgers! LOL Love it!
Clarelittlebear
So do we need to uninstall the retail therapy 2.0 for this??
Temesha Hostetler
Thanks so much for this mod, Ravasheen. This will make running businesses on my Sims' home lot much easier. I am not seeing the option to Set For Sale many of the items that my Sim can cook like baked goods, EA canning products, and fizzy juices. I can mark IceMunMun's canning goods, nectar bottles, and milling products for sale though. Am I missing something with the other items?

gracias por tu trabajo ya lo he traducido al Español y te lo he enviado

Whitney

Renee McPherson

BlackPiano

Moniq31Gamer
I am going exactly this right now by using the LittleMsSam live in business mod. I just downloaded this but I also would love to have a enable/disable for the restocking..
Fabian Lance Salmon

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I've been building in anticipation of the ability to sell anything. I am more grateful than you know, sis! <3
Hannah Burdorf
Wow this is amazing! Going to work much better than the retail system in Get to Work does currently
A
This is INCREDIBLE!!! I cannot wait to add this to my game! Thank you so much for creating this ❤️❤️❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
GaymerBorealis
I love this! 😍 Would it be possible though to have an option to still have to restock manually, if you do want that challenge? I want to run a little farm shop on my farm but I want the challenge of having my sims have to produce what they sell, and to have the store's stock change with the seasons etc
Testy Unicorn
You are my favorite. This is going to be so much fun. I'd be bored with Sims without your amazing mods and CC, friendo. I have the week off next week and it's my birthday and I am going to make so many stores.
Wendy Hubble
WOW. This is amazing! I can't wait to give it a test drive :) Thank you so much!
Kristy Payne
Super exciting! You are so talented! Thank you for all of your hard work!
