FAQ: Open For Business - EP3

(1/3) > >>

Vampyre:
This area will answer questions associated with The Sims 2 Open For Business Expansion Pack, also known as EP3.
 
You'll often see it referred to as simply OFB throughout the site and elsewhere.

Vampyre:
There is.  Find it here

Vampyre:
In OFB you have some new skills that come with some new concepts.

  Badges are awarded in three grades for proficiency in these areas.

  These areas are:[*]sales
[*]flower making
[*]robot building
[*]toy making
[*]restocking
[*]cash register
[*]cosmetology[/LIST]  They each come in a bronze, silver and gold level.

Vampyre:
When you are setting up your first business, money can be an issue.

 Home-based businesses are probably the easiest and cheapest way to get a business going.

  That said, if you are going to be setting up a business that requires a skill from one of the new crafting stations, it may be worth the wait (if you have to) to buy a community lot first.

  Time passes differently in OFB on community lots than it ever has before.

  Very simply stated, time doesn't pass at all!

  Although your sim can not acquire the regular skills (cooking, creative, mechanical, etc.), the skills for robot building, flower making, cosmetology or toy making can be developed on community lots (as well as the rest of the new OFB skills).

 True these can be developed at home too, but not without the time penalty.

  Items can be crafted on a community lot, and skills gained, and you can even begin selling them right away as your crafting sim gains the skills to get badges.

  Whichever you choose, start small.  Build up your sales skills by pricing items low enough that they sell, but high enough that you can build up your sales skills.  If they sell too fast it will take your sim more time to get the sales skill badges.  Too high and nothing will sell.

Vampyre:
Use the For Sale Tool to price items.

See the screenshot for where that is located.
