Employees with assigned tasks will do them. Sims must earn talent badges to increase sales and productivity on workbenches such as the Robot Crafting Station , and gain customer loyalty to have their business reach a higher rank and gain business perks. Open for Business adds new functionality to a Sim's productivity around the house. Sims are able to craft new items, including toys, flower arranging and robots.
Additional items include those aimed specifically at enhancing the business setting like an old-style cash register, beauty salon chairs and child-oriented toys. Also added is the servo , a household robot, which can perform basic tasks and function like a Sim in regards to social interactions. Some new items, called "Bots" in general, aim to increase productivity on a lower scale than servo's operation, usually performing one task, such as cleaning the floor, watering plants, bringing food or stunning burglars.
A robot that Sims can build if they have a gold robotics badge. Servos can be activated as either a female or male, then become playable Sims for the player to control. Servos have only four needs; power, fun, social, and environment. Power can be restored by recharging during the day solar based recharging , or sleeping in a bed if the sun isn't out. A program servos perform is to do chores automatically, and will clean, cook, or repair for the normal Sims around the house.
Being robotic, servos do not age, so will not die from age. If a servo's needs are neglected from too much, it will end up destroying itself. Open for Business adds more functionality to build mode. New elevators both open a new possibility for public interactions and create a risk for fatality by plummeting. Domed, conical and octagonal roofs in different sizes are now available. Players may also add awnings. Open for Business adds a new "talent badge" system. A Sim must repeatedly perform an action to raise that badge's level.
The talent badges include:. The Sims 2: Open for Business Expansion pack for. Main article: Business. Main article: Servo The Sims 2. Main article: Talent badge.

Once an item has been sold, it can be restocked at its current wholesale price. With Nightlife , shops on community lots can sell cars that are placed on the Show My Ride Display by Extreme Cars , if the lot is large enough to hold it. Shops can also sell Sim-made items, such as paintings. The most obvious examples of this are crafted items made on workbenches : flower arrangements , toys , and robots. If FreeTime is also installed, objects made on the pottery and sewing benches can be sold.
With FreeTime , it's even possible to sell restored cars. If Apartment Life is installed, potions and other witch -made items can be sold as well. If Seasons is also installed, fish and produce can be sold. If Pets is also installed, shops can sell pets. With Apartment Life installed, reagents and other items for witches can be sold as well.
The various potions can be placed on sale, and once sold, can be restocked in the same way as Buy mode objects. More expensive objects have the highest potential profits when sold. The most valuable wholesale items in the game, in ascending order, are the Temple of Jumbok IV , the Aquabox "60 Gallons of Awesome" Aquarium , the helicopter , the large skating rinks , and the pirate ship.
Of these, the aquarium is the most practical because it is far smaller. Shops can sell services such as makeovers. With Bon Voyage , a shop that has the massage table can sell massages. Deeds to other lots can also be sold in a business. If Bon Voyage is installed, deeds to vacation homes can also be marked for sale. The Bluewater Village district has pre-made examples of many different types of shops, some of which are already owned.
Venues are places, such as clubs and arcades, which sell the opportunity to satisfy motives. This is done through the Electrono-Ticket Machine , which allows the owner to charge Sims for staying on the lot. Once the owner, or a member of the owner's household, has set a price and decided to start charging, potential customers will gather at the Electrono-Ticket Machine, and consider whether or not they want to come in.
This works like making a sale in a shop, except that what is being sold is the idea of staying on the lot for a while. Once the sale is made, the customer will go to the ticket machine, take a ticket, and enter the venue. While there, they will periodically be charged the ticket price. As with selling items in shops, setting the ticket price higher means that tickets will be harder to sell.
If a venue has a kitchen with a stove , it is best to put it behind doors that only household members and employees can use. Otherwise, hungry customers will use the kitchen, and will sometimes leave food on the stove or in the oven. This can lead to burned food or even a fire. If a player wants to have a venue serve food, one way is to have a household member make it, then enter Buy mode and place the food outside of the kitchen area.
When customers get hungry enough, they will serve themselves. Customers who visit a business will earn or lose customer loyalty stars based on positive or negative interactions and experiences. Acquiring customer loyalty stars causes a business's rank to increase, which opens up new business perks. Businesses can be randomly reviewed by special reviewer NPCs. Reviewers pose as normal customers in a business, browsing or partaking in the business's services, often while jotting down notes in a notebook.
After some time in the business, a reviewer will talk to the owner or manager and reveal the outcome of their review. Businesses can either receive a good review or a bad review. The outcome of a review has an impact on the popularity of a Sim's business; a good review will bring in more customers, while a bad review will reduce the number of customers. Businesses can receive a special "Best of the Best" award for an exceptionally good review; this award comes with a boost in customer traffic, and also gives the business owner a special plaque that can be placed in the business, impressing customers who stop to look at it.
With the Midnight Hollow downloadable world comes from the Savvy Seller's Collection that is an included premium content set.
It allows the player to set up and run item shops on any type of lot, even if neither of the Sims of the households owns the establishment. The set that features a system of managing the store which is much more limited and different from other games where the game mechanic is present.
