  • The Sims 2: Open for Business let you run your own restaurant. I've never managed to make a profitable restaurant no matter how many times I've tried. So watch me try again!
    I use The Sims 2 to try and make as much money selling food as I possibly can. I still don't know if this counts as me making a profitable business but I'll let you be the judge!

    Running a restaurant in the Sims 2 OFB is the HARDEST among the business types. You need a lot of workers, customers are demanding and money is hard to earn. I used to lose thousands of buck before turning a profit later.

      @westanimesims I agree wholeheartedly with you. I do have a few tips to get on the fast track (well, from a snail's pace to a turtle's), to success with restaurants. Start the business after you succeeded in all others (with the same family); make it a family affair with household (meaning keep those grandparents around, and make certain that your live at home children are teens+), and always go to work together (allows full control of all workers); add in lots of entertainment items, and use the ticket machine (for the entire establishment or high entertainment rooms); have a food counter, where you sell food items (can just be desserts if you prefer); amongst the entertainment items, poker tables do generate a steady flow, as well as a DJ booth, manned by a household member. While the restaurant part itself will barely break even (if it even does), business will boom with everything else.
      The businesses I love the most, are clothing boutiques (having a gold badge sewer making all the outfits), to succeed in outfitting the townies with clothing of your choice, as well as salons, to makeover all the townies (even at lower skills, the makeovers can be comical), and for my magic occult, selling reagents and items, to help build up supplies (and these establishments could remain open, days on end, if your entire staff has thrones to regenerate, unless you use mods to sync time).

      I ended up using the flapjack+other eatery shacks from the bon voyage expansion just to make it bearable. Adding in entertainment items and a ticket machine.
      My best eatery had a night club with those eatery shacks but my heart belonged to my flower shop and I'd use University as the time to level up those time consuming badges lol.

    Never dabbled in the pack, but you're kinda making me want to play Open for Business after this and the Malcolm Landgraab video.
    I also think I found an easter egg in this video since your hands were flopping around way too much this time. For the risk of being rude and audacious, I'll just shut up. If my suspicion is right, though, I'd gladly wanna be the first viewer to congratulate you! 🥳
