get down to business.....^_^
Some of the businesses your sims can own include: bakeries, boutiques, salons, and countless other thriving shops.
You can be in control, running the shop, hiring staff, and waiting on your customers. Treat your guests like gods, and before you know it your store will be the talk of the town.
Start your own business, or take over ancestors shops. Turn your talents into cash, and learn the tricks of the trade.
