The lot is rather expensive, that is the first thing that bothers me (46,000+) I can make it smaller and cheaper, but I also like to have a kitchen and office of my own sims (and a shower) when they work longer hours.
I have not added anything to the space behind the fences, because in game I normally add stuff along the way (may be a chess table for staff members, extra seating) once there actually are hired staff members and the family is not running the business on their own. I could add some things, but it will increase the price.
I would also like to hear if the look is acceptable for a shop selling baby and toddler stuff. I tried to use no cc, but in the end, I did use 3 of Honeywell's pretty walls (and one of her foundation walls) because it just did not look right to me with any combo of maxi's walls.

Trees and flowers look pretty until the weeds start growing and the leaves start falling - then the customers start complaining, so it is extra work for the business owner, who needs to be selling stuff and not gardening. Of course it is fine if you use a perfect plants mod, but many players still choose not to, so I have been thinking of them. I would like as many people as possible (and since I have UC, it is already limited) to be able to use the lot.

Thank you, maxon, I appreciate it - I will try to make it interesting inside! The only thing with more shelves - space. Customers, sales people and restocking people have to move between them all the time, and there has to be space for a queue at the cashier as well - I have taken shelves out of shops due to that in my own hood. Let me see what I can do. |
Yes, that's the issue which is why I mentioned people who are more experienced at that type of lot building than I am. It needs to be playable - in fact, that is one of the requirements of the Creator Guidelines and moderation. So ignore me about that - it's just my personal response. I think the lot is looking good.

Of course, it will bring the price down, so it is a good idea - but then, how will it clearly be a toddler/baby shop - for without stock, it will just be an empty shop? Since it is for the montly theme, it is kind of important. I'd love to hear a brilliant idea here, because I did think about less stock - but empty shelves will also not work all that well.
I have actually stuffed more shelves in there already, maxon I will post pics later.

I actually had the Toy Shop sign there, but removed it - it is not truly a toy shop as such, since it sells other things for babies and toddlers too.

Price has come down with around 5000 Simoleons; I added a chess table and seating outside for staff.

Rosebine - I am thinking of uploading it without stock - as Peni noted, the shop owner can get wholesale prices. But I have actually added a clothing rack to the copy I plan to use for my own hood - it is logical and no changing booths or mirrors are needed since toddlers are not going to buy the clothes themselves.

I have a minor qualm about the layout of the rooms in the back. As I see it, you have the office with the door through the parenting room and into the bathroom. There is a door to the bathroom from the showroom. But would that mean going through the bathroom to the parenting room if someone is entering from the showroom,or going through someone's office? Or is that office actually something else, and I'm misreading the layout?
If it's not an office and is a place for customers, that would work. I would hope that people lock doors if they're using the bathroom!
I know I'm having a similar situation with my ... whatever my building is. (I hope to post it in the creator section as well.)

I will look at the doors again - it is true that I just lock doors for customers, and it is not a parenting room, but a kitchen for the business owner to have a sandwich (stove not necessary) and coffee, so only staff in there. It may work better if I remove that door between the kitchen and the bathroom for uploading, so I think I will do that.
Edit : I will have a good think about all the indoor doors

See how joandsarah77 trained me?
In that case, then, I see no real problems. Oops.
