New and shiny restaurants have made their way to TS3! Taking your sim out to eat (or ordering in) is now much more exciting!

Get Started

Buy a restaurant oven and set up shop.

Create shifts, choose working days, wages, uniforms, and hire employees from around town.

Employee Roles

Hire employees and choose any combination of roles for them to fulfil. You can run a restaurant, or a bar, or both!

Choose from:

Chef,

Waiter,

Greeter,

Bartender

Don't worry if you can't fill all the roles. Where there is a sim missing, the existing employees will pick up the slack depending on their own assigned jobs. For example: chefs will take on waiter jobs when there are no waiters or greeters. Greeters will take on waiter jobs when there are no waiters.

Dine In

Take your sim out solo or in groups.

If there's a worker at the podium, you can be seated according to availability (you can also ask about the menu and see how expensive things are if you want).

You'll also see NPCs dining. They'll join the podium queue, just like your active sim. If they have friends on the lot, they may automatically eat together.

If there's no podium, or greeter, sims can order direct from the menu.

Delivery Options

Sims can order delivery from any open restaurant in town. The restaurant owner will receive all the money for this (except for delivery fees).

Or, if there's nothing open yet, order a Chinese takeaway instead.

Restaurant Management

The level of restaurant management is up to you. The more restaurant items you add to the lot, the more you'll have to account for the business finances.

Keep track of your costs and pray you can make a profit!

There are some optional features when it comes to financial management.

Buy a restaurant fridge: then it will cost your sim money to make food unless you keep the fridge stocked.

Buy a bar and hire a bartender: then it will cost your sim money to make drinks, but the restaurant will also keep the earnings.

Pay for advertising: hopefully the extra foot traffic makes up for the fee.

Thanks:

Sandy from ATS3 for generously allowing me to use her objects in my mods as always.

Ani Business as Unusual Oven which paved the way for this mod.

Sims 4 for some animations that I converted

EA Business and Usual oven, of course!

Compatibility:

Made on version 1.67

Shouldn't conflict with anything, not even other restaurant mods

Required:

Business as Usual Oven Store Content - most animations and props depend on this.

Island Paradise EP for some strings in the expenses dialog.

World Adventures - for Chinese delivery food & drinks while waiting for restaurant order

Optional:

My Taxes and Benefits mod - Restaurant owners will pay higher business tax (once I update that mod).

My Boutique mod - used a couple of non-important animations.

Showtime - For snacking at oven interaction.

Seasons - For better 'call off work (sick)' functionality.

Late Night - for bartender stuff

PJSims Club Mod Icons Replacement

All 42 icons used in PJSims's club mod have been replaced by the ones extracted from the sims 4. All credit goes to @phoebejaysims! Thank you so much for making such game-changing mod!

installation

·Download the original club mod here.

I got the idea for calling in sick from the ‘mods I wish existed’ thread on MTS and the after school club portion was added because I wanted a way to still send my sims even if they attended school using ultimate careers. I hope you all enjoy!

Requirements:

Base Game Compatible. If you don’t have EP4, the after school club interactions won’t show.

No mod requirements.

Made on version 1.67.

Recommended:

Echoweaver’s Symptoms for seasons

Olomaya’s school council mod + school activity

My cheerleading mod + school activity

Ultimate Careers Cross-Compatibility:

To accommodate for UC, your sim must phone in sick before 7am. This is regardless of if you’re actually using the mod to send your sims to school or not. As long as you have the mod installed, it counts.

If you’re using the original Zerbu version instead of the updated version, the 7am deadline still applies but you won’t see the greyed out tooltips in-game to remind you of it.

Calling In Sick

Phone Interactions found under 'School’ path.

By default: children must ask an older sim to call for them while teens can either ask or call for themselves. This is XML tuneable.

Sim must have either 'sick’ or 'fake sick’ buffs.

Older household sims can call in for younger sims if they have 'sick’ buffs.

School children and teens can try to convince older household members that they need to stay home due to sickness. They don’t need to be sick to use this interaction.

Found under Friendly/Ask For School Sick Day

Success depends on the traits and buffs of both sims.

Many of these values can be tuned via. the XML.

See the download page for which buffs count as sick/fake sick.

Attend After School Clubs Manually

Since you can’t attend after school clubs unless you’ve been at school that day, I needed a way to manually send my sims to attend them. (Handy if they’ve been off sick or if you are using the UC mod for school).

Click on the school within club hours and send your sim to their club.

Conflicts:

This is a pure script mod, so it shouldn’t conflict with any other mods.

I hope you enjoy,

I can predict a question " What if your Sims do something you didn't want?" It's simple you see, I kill them. Just kidding 😅 my whole point with this is to experiment with boring bone's social consequences mod and see what they get up to. Anywho, onto pics!

Welcome to Capp & Capp Co. My assignment for the day. I know it takes some simmers days to finish a building this big, but I'm short on time, so I'll show what I've done so far. BTW I decorate, I can't build to save my life (or sims lives for that matter). This building is off the sims 3 exchange.

On the first floor we have...a damn mess. The whole thing is tagged as a consignment store, and the first floor was decorated as one upon download. I've been perfectly happy with it until today, when I started messing with it because I was decorating upstairs. I'm thinking about making it a jewelry store 🤔 and the dimensions are good for one. I added a couple glass counters and a changing table to the bathroom. I deserve no credit for this 😅.

Upstairs thanks to the fabulous phoebejaysims, is a boutique! It took so long to decorate it that the mannequins don't have outfits yet. But I'm really happy with this store. I'm considering making a more male friendly store, since I did make this pretty girly. Maybe upstairs?

The top floor currently houses my real estate office. I only have one real estate agent, and she's rich. So maybe I should make her a home office. If I were to make a more male centered clothing store, it would definitely go up here.Make the whole thing a department store, and switch the lot type to market. I'll probably end up switching the lot type regardless, since i do have plans for a seperate consignment store.

Maybe the male centered clothing store would be blue? 🤔 I have the cc to accomplish my vision. I didn't mention this before, but I'm playing in Northbend. It's so gorgeous! I don't have any closed rabbit holes in my town (all playable buildings) and I'm having a ball making everything fit with the sims who live there.

Nia got a moodlet that she urgently needs to change her hairstyle and I had to build a hairdresser in a hurry😁 Her hairstyle was changed and she heartily thanked the master.

И мудлет у нее вылез о прекрасной внешности что-то там такое. Но перед этим она состроила вот такое лицо😥 Что это было, я так и не поняла😄

And her moodlet came out about her beautiful appearance, something like that. But before that, she made such a face😥 What it was, I still didn’t understand😄

Today we’re back at the PI Strip on 10 Pleasant Boulevard to take a look at the last retail shop that I fully renovated in @one-plumbob’s custom world, Pleasant Isle. As I mentioned in the first post for this lot, one-plumbob had 10 Pleasant Boulevard set up as the world’s elixir shop. The areas currently reserved for the unfinished housewares store, and the Audre African Arts Gallery were just shells. The only area that was furnished was the section of the building featured in this post.

This building I now call Sun and Sea Pharmacy, because the sign I used had those images on it, lol. While the structure was a multi story community space, I either cut access to the basement, or completely deleted it. I can’t remember with certainty which I did.

The front of the building pretty much remains the same; two entrances with yellow benches sat out between them. The changes I did make were mostly cosmetic. I moved the neon sign that was once above the gallery entrance onto the pharmacy’s outer front windows. I added some welcome mats in front of each entrance, although I totally forgot to recolor them. I also decorated the window panes with custom medical posters that I want to say came from @aroundthesims, but may be from another creator. 

If anyone wants to verify/correct me on this, just comment and I’ll update the post.

The original lot used a nice wood pattern inside that I decided to add to all the shelving. I also used it for the register/prescription drug section of the pharmacy. That being, the columns, the half walls, counters, etc.

I think I might have lightened the white of the windows, switching it from wood to a custom miscellaneous white. I also changed the color of the paint above the wall panel, but the floor is the same as the original.

Unlike some of my other games, where I have a sim dedicated to making potions, Audre isn’t meant to be played in rounds that allow me to make sure all my sims are contributing to world upkeep. Additionally, while @anitmb’s merchant mod sales potions fine, I think it can’t clone them, so I wouldn’t be able to load a sim’s inventory from potions made in another game and resale them using the clone option.

So there are no potions. Instead, the pharmacy carries all the custom soaps, bubble bath, and bath bombs (which I think are rubber ducks) by Sandy, @mspoodle1, and @phoebejaysims​ (I might be missing someone here, lol).

Sun And Sea also carries the shower in a can and mosquito spray bottles that came with World Adventures, and probably one or two custom recolors of those items most likely made by one of the already mentioned creators.

Of course, using the merchant mod means being able to sale the custom personal care and house cleaning items on display. So there will be plenty of other items on sale here.

Several months back I introduced a friend to TS3 by loading up this save and showing off my renos. They’ve heard me talk about the sims, and watched a few minutes of Let’s Plays, but this was there first time really getting a look around in one of my games. This friend lives in the area that Pleasant Isle takes it’s inspiration from. They complemented both Sunflower Fresh Market (the most popular reno from this series), and Sun and Sea Pharmacy. 

I guess these shops look the most like the places they visit on the daily.

Hi Sarah! Congratulations on your followers :D I think I'm number *counts in my head* 24, just a guess :p I'm wishing you well in your house move, so glad the sale finally went through! Take your time, make sure everything is set up exactly the way you want from the start :) We'll still be here when you get back, I know I'll be :) And I'll be okay with your posts because I'm reading them right from the beginning :D

Thank you to everyone for all of your replies and the congratulations on my 500 followers! I’m doing a collective reply to you all here as I’m literally falling asleep at my keyboard and it’s only 8.30pm! :o

The move is going quite smoothly at the moment and I’m lucky to have access to my new home already so I can decorate it before moving in but it’s the decorating that’s wearing me out, rather than the packing lol! It’s taken me about three weeks to decorate the bedroom and now that’s done I can stay there a few nights a week so that helps a bit. I just started doing the lounge on Monday but I’m not sure what’s worse, the actual painting or the preparation before painting! I’ll be so glad when it’s all finished!
