The Sims 4 Businesses & Hobbies

Dream big and create a small business that will leave your Sim feeling fulfilled. Make and sell pottery or other crafts, provide a service like tattoos or classes, or come up with something unique. Designate space in your home for doing what you love – and making a living at it – or purchase a new Small Business Venue Lot. With the new Ticket Kiosk you can run the business you want, charging customers for entry or for time spent. Run a family business and hire your Sim’s household, or meet the perfect candidate and offer them a job.

As you hone your Pottery skill using the Pottery Wheel, more designs – like functional tea sets, planters, incense burners, and more – will become available to you. Finish your pieces in the Pottery Kiln; there are plenty of options for glazes. At higher levels of the Pottery skill, Sims can use the Japanese art of Kintsugi to create beautiful pieces from broken ceramics.

You can run your business by the books, or cut a few corners, and as you build your Business Reputation you’ll earn Business Perks along Dreamer, Schemer, and Neutral routes. You don’t have to pick just one! Sims with the new Idealist trait might prefer to run Dreamer businesses, whereas Shady Sims may enjoy being Schemers. These choices could impact Sims’ lives outside of their businesses.
