Business Casual Mod 🤑
🕑 Added 2025-01-22 16:02:00 +0000 UTCMake money no matter where you are!
Hey Guys its Jordy here to bring you my new mod, "Business Casual" This mod has been a WIP for a while now, so let's get into all of the things your sims can do with this mod!
BUSINESS MINDED
For the sims who've got a mind for money matters or think they've got what it takes to operate a small, intimate business or a business on a much larger scale, they'll need to obtain the Small Business Owner Reward Trait! With this trait, Sims will have access to all kinds of different resources to help their businesses grow!
ALL IN ONE APP
One of the many perks of this trait, is the new "My First Storefront" App! This can be found on your sims' Phones or their Computers. (Some interactions are Phone or Computer Exclusive) Within the app, sims can do things like Read Customer Reviews, Invest in Stocks and even go shopping for spaces for their business!
ACCESSING THE SIM WIDE WEB
A feature that I thought would be really cool for storytelling is for sims to create a business website! Before your sims can do that, they'll need to purchase a Domain! They'll need to access this on the Computer.
Once the domain has been purchased, your sims can do some website management like designing the company's logo or provide customer support.
To make things a bit challenging (or fun however you want to view it) I've created an interaction for sims to Schedule Website Maintenance.
You won't be able to access any of your website stuff while the website is down and the outsourced Techs are working on it.
There's a chance that the maintenance will go smoothly. But there's also a chance it won't and your sims will get a popup asking if you want the techs to continue working on the site as normal or pay an expedition fee for instant access. If you have Programming Skill Level 5+ you can DIY!
CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS
Before I go into this part, I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Tasha for helping me with this part of the mod! Be sure to send her all the love and support on her patreon!
Sims can now have a seperate business account and this is completely base game! You can transfer money from your household funds to the account and transfer the money out or transfer to your sims' business funds (if you own GTW, Dine Out or Cats and Dogs).
Be sure to set up an account first!
DIGITAL COMMERCE
Your sims can now open their very own online storefront! Thanks to the Outside the Box Company, Sims can freely create their own storefronts and sell various items online and make some simoleons!
To get started, sims will need to open their storefront first
Which grants them access to being able to sell their items whenever they want! This was a bit of a challenge for me but I think i covered a good amount of items for your sims to be able to sell online. The Computer version will take items that are actually in your sims personal inventory.
But don't worry, Out the Box Inc. understands sometimes there are products that might not fit in your personal inventory, so I've added an interaction on eligible items that your sims can sell as well! To make it easier, this will only be available when the store front is open so don't worry, you won't randomly sell that family heirloom by accident.
Speaking of, yes your sims will be able to close their storefronts as well! There are no time limits for when you want to operate your online business, so if your sim is an early bird or they're a vampire only trying to make some extra simoleons at night, you can do so as you well!
ADVERTISING
Want to increase your sales? You can select an advertising package and your sales will increase! Each advertisement package offers time limited boosts.
Sims will get a notification when the advertisement is over with!
A WORK EVENT
Decided to venture out to working more on Social Events and this mod gave me the best excuse to do so with the new Business Launch Party! Sims with the small business owner trait can throw this event and invite sims over for this formal affair!
Have your sims entertain their guests, drink, eat food and most importantly: Collect Donations for the Business Fund!
(Note: If the Ask Donations Interaction doesn't show up be sure to introduce your sim to their investors first)
Some sims will be happy to open their wallets for you
Others...might not be so generous with their money
Sims who host a successful Business Launch event will earn a milestone!
If you do not see the event, please be sure your sim has the Small Business Owner reward trait!
DLC Support
My idea for this mod had some of the DLC packs in mind as a way to help them in various ways.
Sims can register their business type online
When sims go on a Business Seminar they'll earn things like Retail Bucks or Vet Bucks and they'll earn Sales skills as well! These are helpful and in some cases, essential to running any of these DLC businesses!
INTERVIEWS ARE STRESSFUL
That's right! I wanted to add a little something different and created a small interview system! There are a few things that I need to go over so please bare a few things in mind about how this works!
First things first, your sims will need to have owned a business type (i.e. Retail, Vet Clinic or Restaurant).
To start the interview, have your sims go to the Plan Social Event tab
Then Select the Interview Type you want to do (Note: If you don't own the DLC, the event should not show up)
After that, choose where you want to do the interview to get started! You'll need to introduce yourself to your potential employees (I believe you can invite up to 3 at a time) and that'll open up the Interview Tab found under Business Casual. From there you can do things like Ask about recent job, talk about job expectations and question if the sim you're interviewing why they want to work for you! You'll also learn a sims' trait or a random skill!
And yes as a special bonus, you get to hire on the spot!
SPECIAL WARNING: I CANNOT stress this part enough! When hiring during this event, please be sure you have room on staff (I.E. you have enough employee slots Found under "Manage Employees" tab). If you have any limited spots and try to hire beyond the limit, it WILL cause issues!
That is why the limit for the event is 3 employees. So that you can choose who you want to hire and most of the businesses have only 3 employee slots! So be sure not to go over that.

Sorry for the late reply! Can you tell me what exactly your sims are trying to do?
Kenzie Everett
My sim isn’t doing the commands i tell it to regarding the business casual mod. Like i tell it to do something and then it just dismisses it
Karen O`Brien
Is there a way to mark up prices under the self employed option?
Cattie
Nvm! I totally missed something in your description and figured it out after rereading. Thank you! The interview option is GOLDEN 👏🏾👏🏾
Jordacious
Hi so to answer a few of the questions. Registering the business just gives your sims a trait. It’s more for storytelling but future updates will offer more. So in short it’s not supposed to do more right now 😊 What other options didn’t show up that you’re referring to?
Cattie
Hi! Thank you for this awesome mod! I have it set up according to your instructions but every time my sim goes to register a business (he already has the trait) nothing happens. He goes through the entire process at the computer but it doesn't seem to work because I don't get a buff or any other options to manage my registered business. I was able to interview a sim to work at the restaurant and even hired them but no other options around running the business came up. I wonder if it's because I don't have Cats & Dogs? i have the other DLCs and have Lots Core. I also did the 50/50 mod test and even deleted all my other mods and tested this out but no luck. Any help would be much appreciated!
Jordacious
Be sure you you have lots core library installed, the trait can be found in the reward store. It won’t be found in CAS.
Quynn Bailey
the trait is not popping up in my game

Been waiting for this mod to come public (sadly i dont have the means to sub rn). I have been seeing it on youtube and made a new save so my sim can use this mod to become an Independent painter! Can't wait to try it ! Thanks for this Jordy x
Jeanna-simplysimmer
If you still havent solve it, click on the download here link! It just worked for me :)
Gustavo Martins
I'm waiting too
Liyah Matthew
Hi, will it still be released to the public today? just wondering.
Jordacious
Question by chance would you mind selling like a candle or a book. I think it’s possible it’s not on the list of items that can be sold
Jordacious
Oof okay I’ll have to check in on it when I’m available!
BlackBuckleBunny
Okay only mod I have in my game is this mod and of course the lot 51 mod and I put some non cc kid toys into my sims inventory. I opened my store went to sell items and nothing pops up for me to select items to sell. It just gives me the sure fire sale buff.
BlackBuckleBunny
Ok will do that now
Jordacious
Okay. So here’s what I need you to do for me. Would you mind clearing your cache and testing with only my mod installed? I’m trying to see if there’s something conflicting by chance
BlackBuckleBunny
No none popped up
Jordacious
Hmmm okay I’ll have to check on my end to see if I can get the same result. And there wasn’t any LEs or anything like that?
BlackBuckleBunny
So I was using icemummum soap mod to sell soaps. I had a few in my inventory. I went on the computer clicked open storefront and then I went to the sell items but when I clicked that nothing pops up I just get a buff that says I made a sell but nothing popped up for me to make a sell. Also I tried taking the soap out of my inventory to click it and sell it but that option didn't pop either. I even tried just clicking random items around my sim house and the option to sell still didn't pop up. I was previously using this mod to sell hair from the QMBIBI hair mod and it worked fantastic.
Jordacious
Hi there I’m sorry it’s happening. Could you tell me exactly what is popping up or what you’re doing exactly when you try to open it? It’s possible there aren’t any eligible items in your sims inventory at the moment?
BlackBuckleBunny
Hi so this mod was working good for me but now when I click on sell items after opening my store nothing comes up anymore. I was able to sell whatever was in my sims inventory this way
Breanna Clark
Ok thank you!
Jordacious
Make sure when you want to sell something you go through the storefront menu option and it’ll be an interaction that says “Sell Items”. Opening the store front just makes it so you can start selling
Breanna Clark
Like the menu that pops up to sell isn’t popping up when I open store front
Jordacious
Not at the moment but translators are always welcome!
Jordacious
Like you're not getting a notification? and do you have anything to sell in the inventory?
Breanna Clark
Hi so when I try to open the business nothing happens or pops up for me to sell anything .
SANRIOZ
good work as always
Ioniseg McLaren
Hello Friend, Is there an option to translate it into Spanish? Or, if your game is fully in Spanish on your personal computer, it should work perfectly in Spanish. I look forward to your response. Thank you very much. Best regards.
Jordacious
Haha no 😅

when is it going to be free for everyone?
Nikki Sosa
I had to close the game out and restart its now working thank you
Nikki Sosa
ok thank you so much
Jordacious
Hmm okay. Are your UI mods all updated? Latest version of Lot Core as well? If so we may need to try the mod by itself without other mods installed. If it still doesn’t work please submit a mod fixit form (can be found on the download page) and I’ll do my best to assist 😊
Nikki Sosa
yes
Jordacious
And does your sim have the business owner reward trait?
Nikki Sosa
the app is not popping up on the phone or computer for me to start a business
Nikki Sosa
I'm having the same issue what did you do to get it to work?
Simmer Dri
nevermind, I figured it out. Thank you.
Jordacious
Hi there could you tell me what’s not showing up? And do you have the small business reward trait?
Simmer Dri
Hi, I also downloaded the mod today and it's not showing up. I have all the DLCs and Lot51 Core. Love your mods btw!
Jordacious

This is such an incredible mod. Tried it last night. I didn’t know you included the ability to interview and hire anyone not just random sims the game chooses. I was able to actually pick the sims I wanted for restaurant employees for a change. I am blown away.
