Hi ❀ʕ·ᴥ·ʔ
Today, after hours of brainstorming and collecting impressions, I proudly present to you the ultimate list of business ideas for the newly released Businesses & Hobbies pack ✧. ✲゚・。✧・゚
I've categorized the business ideas to provide a more structured overview, because there are so many (๑❛ʚ❛๑). They are sorted into the following categories: 📌 Service-based small businesses 🍽️ Restaurants & entertainment venues 🛍️ Retail & creative shops 🛠️ Craft & manufacturing businesses 🎭 Fantasy & unconventional businesses.
Also for some of these ideas, I recommend using CC or mods to deepen the immersion, but that's completely up to you — sometimes using your own imagination does the trick too~ The recommended or sometimes necessary packs are included behind the business idea as well as CC/mod recommendation markers ❀✿❀
If you feel like something's missing, please comment your idea(s) and I will happily add them to the list so that the compendium can continue to grow (◕ω◕✿)
Please take a look at my Patreon for more cute Sims 4 stuff~ You can find the original post here.
As always, happy simming! - MiunaChan ♥

STRAUD - A VAMPIRE STORY.
Prev || Next || Beginning
Transcript under cut:
A few weeks ago.
[Carmilla, off-screen:] I am not sure I understand.
Vladislaus: It is simple, truly. The Vatores have been reckless in their disrespect of the rules I have set in place, for all of our sakes. Caleb in particular has been vocal about his ideas of 'coexisting' with mortals. He says our way of living is ... barbaric.
[Off-Screen, Vladislaus:] So I need you to seduce the young Mister Vatore, to keep him loyal to the Straud name.
Vladislaus: Put those selfsame talents you used onto me, and make him want you, like the beautiful prize you are.
Current day.
Vladislaus: Miss Vatore, would you tell me of your travel to Italy? I do miss her dearly.
[Lilith, off-screen:] Oh, it's beautiful this time of year. The waves are a gorgeous azure color, the beaches ...
Caleb: !!!
[Caleb, in low tones:] Mistress Vatore, what- ... ?
[Carmilla, in low tones:] Do not make it so obvious.
Lilith: ... and of course, one cannot overstate how delightful the food is.
Vladislaus: It sounds like you've had a very enjoyable time, away from the Hollow ... Miss Vatore, do you know why I've said travel is to be avoided ?
Lilith: Master Straud ...
Vladislaus: The world of the mortals is beyond us, now. It is beyond dangerous, any mistake there is a death sentence. Here, you are safe, you are cared for.
Caleb: Master, if I may-
Vladislaus: You may not. Too long have you both disregarded the rules I have laid out for you. One day, you will make a mistake, and it will cost you your very life.
All: ...
Vladislaus: Now, about that dinner ...
Watching videos of the new pack, and every time a wild Crispin Black appears I have a mighty need to drive cross-country for the sole purpose of reclaiming my PS2 and firing up my scratched-to-hell copy of Urbz
The sound of kids playing and fishermen laughter by day, the sound of trains and dinner chatter by night; the sound of car doors closing and distant conversations; dogs barking; a worn out basketball hitting pavement; disgruntled construction workers swearing…
…in Stillwater, Foundry Cove.
I’m still working on adding some life to the neighborhood part of the North Hollow save. Some features have definitely changed since the last WIP. The trees, for one. (I’ve been super picky about trees). I also decided to embrace the small town vibe, and have since then combined my inspirations (a dash of northeast, a sprinkle of PNW, and anything that inspired my Pinterest board lol.) I’ve been practicing my building too. (I’m not a builder at heart. Oh and ignore the roofs. I hate roofing omg.)
