I'd read a post about them by Dellena elsewhere but couldn't find them.
After searching the category in Buy mode several times, I only found the freezer cases yesterday, so I'm eager to try those out.
Just for the "bakery look," though, I will still use at least one Baker's Display Case and fill it with impeccable quality goods.
Reward points! At the start, I filled the treat towers with the cheapest baked goods. We get reward points for restocking, so I restocked only the cheap baked goods while replacing the rest.
My real profits lie in selling paintings, which I never restock. Once my shop is wealthy enough, I hope to be able restock impeccable-quality goods, which have occurred very rarely for me so far.
I have two employees. To raise work ethic, "criticize" if they're on their cell phone or "praise" if they've been diligent about answering questions.
If any household sim gets an orange "dirty" moodlet, set an employee to "clean." Once cleaning is done, immediately assign another task.
Like the others, I find them most useful for answering questions.
The timing for placing drinks in the freezer sounds so complicated, dodi90. Do you do this for the "bakery look"?
@MarianT, in your After the Plague file, what happens to your retail inventory in, say, Olivia's store, when you're playing another sim who goes to buy clothes at Olivia's shop.
When you play Olivia again, are the purchased items gone?
