Hey, let me start saying I love your builds, can’t wait till u upload more 🤗 I am currently setting up a grocery store using your build and just wanted to know where did you store your fruits and vegetables, herbs for sims to buy?? Thank u in advance for your help 

Hi, thanks for the love! There are actually a couple ways I choose to do the above based on who it is that owns the supermarket.

1. If one of my homeworld sims is the farmer and also owns the supermarket, then I usually have a fresh produce section, meaning I just place the stuff they harvest directly unto the savvier seller shelf from their inventory. I usually prefer to use the shelves that came with the indulgence bakery set but use the transmogrifier mod to change the script into savvier seller shelves. Since the farmer own the supermarket, all profits from sales would go to their household funds.

2. If my farmer does not own the supermarket I usually have him consign the produce. In this case, I place one consignment register and one savvier seller register in my supermarket, that way other sims can buy the fresh produce from the consignment register. And therefore profits would go directly to their household fund. Another option is to place the humble harvest stand outside your supermarket and consign produce there, so sims can buy fresh produce from the stand. However, the supermarket owner would not make any profits from the produce only the farmer. 

3. You can also have the farmer “sell” the goods to the supermarket owner. This means adding up the value of the produce being placed on the shelves, subtracting from the supermarket owner's household funds and adding to the farmer's household funds. I’m however too lazy to go this route 😜

4. If there is no main farmer but I still want fresh produce being sold in the supermarket, then I have the supermarket owner purchase from the rabbithole supermarket and place on the savvier seller shelf in the fresh produce isle and then sell at a markup to earn some profits.

5. Another option is to place the produce in a treasure chest on the lot such as this vegetable stand by Sandy and have sims purchase using Ani’s Shop from Inventory mod. In this case, one of the supermarket registers will have to be a WA register that will have the new shop from inventory interaction on it. In this instance, whoever owns the LOT will receive the profits from the sale. Why I stress the LOT is that the LOT owner does not have to be the same person as the savvier seller register supermarket shop owner, and therefore they may not receive profits from the sale. But if they are one and the same then no issues.

Maybe more info than you were asking for, but there are so many ways to make it work so you can do whatever is best for your gameplay situation. Let me know if you have any further questions!
