The Sims 2: Open for Business/Decoration

There are plenty of new decorative objects in The Sims 2: Open for Business including mascot statues, shop signs and some new paintings.

Sculptures
Some sculptures are mascot statues that fit well with some of the new outfits included with this expansion pack.

The Lying Fisherman Fountain
Interactions include View and Add soap which function just as in other expansion packs.

Mirrors
All mirrors function exactly as before except for the new option to change the appearance of toddlers. Simply put, teens and older can now pick up toddlers and travel to the mirror to change their appearance.

Rugs
Rugs function as in their introduction with the Nightlife expansion pack.

Miscellaneous
These objects include non-functional bathroom towels, shop signs and an open/close sign that is essential for any business to run.

Open/Closed Sign of War and Commerce
The Open/Closed sign controls the two elements that are essential to any business, employees and customers. They do so with these interactions.
 * Open Business: Sim opens business allowing customers to enter any room that isn't locked. Customers behave like normal visitors except for the hidden Shopping need ensuring that they look for goods to buy in your shop or actually go and dine in your restaurant.
 * Close Business: Sim tells customers to depart. Any remaining pay for their goods and leave. Without this interaction, customers will swamp your business all day long. Employees will remain until being asked to leave.
 * Call in Employees: If employees have left the lot, this interaction brings them back. Note that if they've been off the lot for less than six hours, they'll call in sick as they just can't make it.
 * Send Employees Home: Sends all employees home meaning that you no longer have to pay them the hourly rate. This means you can clean up your shop without the hassle of employees and customers.

Mr. Generic's Sign - The Ceiling Model
Is hung from the ceiling. Choose from a variety of design mode variations to fit the theme of your business.
