Live in Business

LittleMsSam’s Live In Business Mod is one of her bigger gameplay-changing creations, and it’s really popular among players who love storytelling or want more control over The Sims 4’s business system.

Here’s what it does:

Run a Business from Home
Sims can operate different types of businesses directly from their residential lot, instead of being tied to retail venues. This makes it perfect for “home business” storytelling (like a bakery in the kitchen or a daycare in the living room).

Types of Live-In Businesses (depending on which add-ons you install):
  • Live In Café
  • Live In Bar
  • Live In Club
  • Live In Restaurant
  • Live In Store / Shop
  • Live In Vet Clinic
  • Live In Gym
  • Live In Daycare
  • Live In Graveyard (for spooky saves!)
  • And more, since she updates/expands the system.

How It Works:
  • You choose what kind of business you want to run by placing an object (like a sign) on your home lot.
  • Customers (NPC Sims) will visit, and your household Sims can serve, sell, or interact with them depending on the type of business.
  • You earn money directly through these interactions (e.g., selling food, drinks, or retail items).

Flexibility:
  • You can run the business alongside your Sims’ normal jobs or have it be their main source of income.
  • It fits both realistic saves (like a small family-owned bakery) and quirky gameplay (like running a nightclub out of your basement).

Requirements:
  • Base Game compatible.
  • Some types of businesses (like Vet Clinic or Restaurant) may work best if you own certain expansion packs, since they use those pack features.

Editor's Note:
Live In Business turns your Sims’ home into a functional business venue, giving you storytelling freedom and a new income system without having to travel to another lot.
