This exciting addition to the Sims 4 universe (following 2024's "Life & Death") lets Sims explore entrepreneurial pursuits and creative careers. While career paths are a staple of the Sims franchise, owning a business adds a new layer of personalization.

New Skills & Creative Avenues:

Two brand-new skills are introduced:

• Tattooing: Sims can learn to design and apply custom tattoos in their own studio, unlocking more intricate designs as their skill improves. A dedicated "Tattoo Paint Mode" provides extensive artistic tools.
• Pottery: Sims can craft and sell pottery, from simple vases to elaborate dishware, using a pottery wheel and kiln. Different decorating techniques add to the creative possibilities.

Diverse Business Opportunities:

Beyond tattooing and pottery, the expansion offers a wealth of business options, leveraging content from previous packs for enhanced cross-pack compatibility:

• Pet Cafes (Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack)
• Karaoke Bars (City Living Expansion Pack)
• Dance Clubs or Arcades (Get Together Expansion Pack)
• Acting Schools (Get Famous Expansion Pack)
• Bowling Alleys (Bowling Night Stuff Pack)
• Spas (Spa Day Game Pack)
• Laundromats (Laundry Day Stuff Pack)

Business Strategies & Personal Impact:

A novel Business Perk system impacts both a Sim's business success and personal life. Players choose a business strategy:

• Dreamer: Prioritizes creativity and customer satisfaction, potentially sacrificing profit.
• Schemer: Focuses on maximizing profit, even if it means cutting corners.
• Neutral: Strikes a balance between fulfillment and financial gain.

Each alignment offers unique gameplay and interactions.
