The Sims 2 Open For Business: Mods, Tips & Tricks

Hi everyone! Today I have for you a much requested Sims 2 tutorial video where I'm going to talk to you all about my favourite expansion pack, Open For Business. We're going to talk in particular about my favourite mods to use with OFB, as well as some basic hints and tips.
For a more detailed breakdown of how this pack works, I suggest checking out this video by CozyPixels: • How To Run a Business ... . I will talk a lot more about mods and fleshing the pack out.
Hope you enjoy, thank you for watching!

"Maybe we could afford four walls" - realistic business owner gameplay 😁

On one of the forums, they had a ticketing machine - and used it with their 7 toddler challenge with the customers looking after the kids. It was soooo clever! And of course them having positive interactions with the toddlers built up stars.

I'm so excited to see so many people still playing the sims 2! I still haven't moved on to sims 3 or 4 yet lol

The last time I played the Sims 2 (I mostly just watch other people nowadays), I didn’t realize that moving house while having a home business would reset the business level. I was

I once did the entertainment venue at Brandi Broke's home. The arcade was just the living room and the bathroom. It worked so well, she did basically nothing and got money. A bit cheatey but with 3 boys you gotta get creative 😂😂

"Restaurants are very hard to run" louder please. I decided it'd be fun to open one in my BaCC (first time ever trying), had a pair of siblings open it and for the next 6 rounds I hated it so much. The only reason I'm back at running it is cause the main owner is now married and all her 5 kids are teens now, so they are free help. Hopefully all the mods you recommended will make it less pathetic LMAO

I always wondered how you were meant to sell cars on a community lot. Good to know.

[@khoward003]

Love the video! The one annoying customer is such a problem in Veronaville when I’ve got a Monty or a Capp running a business. Consort, stop coming to my restaurant just to complain! 😂😂

[@ephemeralgrime2990]

I was just looking for a video like this the other day. I always loved OFB but sometimes felt a little overwhelmed not knowing how best to manage the different businesses. Thank you so much, this is perfect!

[@vanyadolly]

Great tutorial! Businesses are one of the best things in the game, and it's a pity people miss out because of the learning curve.

[@lil-al]

You mentioned my Espresso mod!!! That makes me very excited!

[@Simney]

This was a great video - I've been playing with businesses a lot more recently and this was so helpful!!

[@Waterpixelz]

This helps soooo much!!! Thank you I’ve learned a lot of new information!!!

[@DoubleDash7]

Thank you for this video!

[@dariab9133]

omg I'm so happy I've found this video! That's my favorite expansion too and I've never heard of these mods before :)

[@simsdeogloria7278]

I love this! Business were the reason I first played sims 2. Super helpful! Thank you!

[@Spankaro]

That was an amazing experience! I already knew most of the tips you talked about, but the way you did was refreshing and the mod list is top tier, I'll DEFINITELY be downloading most (if not all) of them! xD I tend not to play with mods, but these are really just QoL changes I missed having over the years of playing this masterpiece.

[@jodijay4218]

Just came to say this thumbnail is everything Beth 😂💀 allllll the gold stars go to you, excellent work, thanks for the laugh!

[@anachibi]

I've always had a bit of a hard time with businesses so this is super helpful!!
