Retail Overhaul - Go Shopping – More Options Part
If you have ever felt that shopping in The Sims 4 was a little too limited, you are not alone. Retail lots often feel more like a chore than an experience, especially when your Sim cannot buy the items they actually want. The Retail Overhaul - Go Shopping – More Options Part mod changes that completely. It transforms the way your Sims shop by adding a wide range of buyable items to existing retail objects. From fresh produce to pet treats, this add-on gives customers a reason to visit your store again and again.
This article covers everything you need to know about this mod, including its features, how it works, and how to get it running in your game. Whether you are a seasoned modder or a newcomer, you will find the steps simple and the results impressive.
What Does the More Options Part Add?
The Retail Overhaul - Go Shopping – More Options Part focuses on the customer side of retail. Instead of just buying generic items, your Sims can now purchase specific goods from the displays and registers around the lot. The mod works by expanding the shopping interactions on several key objects.
Fruits, Veggies, and Herbs
All fruits, vegetables, and herbs in the game become buyable through retail fridges. This means your grocery store can finally stock a full produce section. Customers can browse and purchase everything from apples to exotic herbs without needing a special mod for each item.
Fish and Aquariums
If you run a fish market or a seafood restaurant, this part is for you. All fish types are now buyable via aquariums. Place a few aquariums in your store, and your Sims can purchase fresh fish directly from them. It is a clean and logical way to sell seafood.
Baked Goods and Warming Racks
Bakeries get a major upgrade too. Instead of selling whole cakes or pre-made displays, you can now buy single bakery dishes like bagels, donuts, and other pastries from a warming rack. This creates a much more realistic bakery experience where customers pick exactly what they want.
Flowers, Plants, and Store Registers
All flowers and plants are buyable via the store register. This is perfect for garden centers or florist shops. Your customers can walk up to the register and purchase a wide variety of greenery, making your retail lot feel alive and specialized.
Books and Bookshelves
Books are another major addition. All books in the game are buyable via bookshelves. The mod also adds a new retail bookshelf with an inventory, plus options to read. This makes bookstores fully functional and immersive. Your Sims can browse, read, and buy all in one place.
Pet Toys and Treats
Pet owners will appreciate the new options for pet toys and pet treats. These items are buyable via registers, so you can set up a pet supply section in your store without any extra clutter. It is a small but welcome addition for players who love the pets expansion.
Jungle Adventure and Camping Supplies
Finally, the mod includes Jungle Adventure and camping supplies. As a customer, you can buy these items via registers. Note that this does not include the items you can already buy on the craft sales tables in the Jungle Adventure world. This part focuses on the general supplies, giving your store more variety.
