This has been a much requested post, it has just taken me a while to get all the information collected for it! This post shows how much it costs to build each business, the time it takes and how many sims are needed in your town as all three of these factors increase each time you build a business.

If they add anymore businesses I assume they will be the same requirements as they are for 18 and 19
However some businesses that you have to build during a quest or to begin a quest do not follow this pattern, some may be completely different while others such as the Community Center take a certain amount of time to build and this doesn’t change but the cost and sims needed still increase each time you build a business.
NOTE: the arcade, beach, pet park and carnival cost orbs to build not simoleons
Does building a business increase the price, time and sims needed for workplaces or houses?
No, building a business only increases the requirements for building another business, it will not affect a workplace or house. If you build a workplace then the requirements will increase for the next workplace only and if you built a house only the time and cost for building a new house will increase.

Bookcase (not quite the same as the Magic Bookcase from the store)
This is going to be a very quick post as there isn’t much to say about the pet salon but I have been asked about it.
If you don’t know where to find it it is near the competition center (the location can be found on my town map post)
What can you find in the pet salon?
If you complete the A Puppy Odyssey quest in the time limit you unlock outfits for your kittens and puppies that can be brought from the pet salon
The main reason for it though is to buy collars for your adult cats and dogs so they can go to the Pet Park (which can be built once you complete the life dreams and legacies quest) to complete the Cat Show, Dog Agility and Dog Obedience hobbies!
You can also buy Christmas antlers and hats for your adult cats and dogs!
How do you buy items?
The pet salon works the same way as the sims salon, you select the pet you want then you can choose the collar, hat, headwear or outfit for them to wear and click the green tick in the corner to buy
Dog– collars, hats and headwear
Cat– collars, hats and headwear
Puppy– outfits (if you complete the A Puppy Odyssey quest in the time limit)
Kitten– outfits (if you complete the A Puppy Odyssey quest in the time limit)
How do I remove an item? Click the back arrow which is the first box on the options
If I replace an item with another one, would the first be stored? No, you would have to buy it again
How do I send a pet to the pet park once they are wearing a collar? Click on the pet and select, send to pet park
This post will explain all about the mall, the clean up, how to unlock the shops and using the mall.
Map of the Mall

This map will show you where each area is in the mall, below in building the mall you will see the requirements needed for each part.

There are 32 shops in total, in the shops section you will see what you can buy from each of these shops and how to unlock them.
GROUND FLOOR
You firstly need to build the mall, then you need to complete The Sunset Mall Quest before you can start cleaning and building the ground floor interior.
You can have 10 sims in the mall at one time, so the more sims you use the quicker the clean up will be! The total time stated on this post would be if you used just one sim.

Pickle Sauce Burger Bar
REQUIREMENTS: complete the sunset mall quest in the time limit
To unlock the burger bar you have to complete the Sunset Mall Quest in the time limit, you can’t get the burger bar if you don’t complete the quest in time- you need to go up a floor (using the upstairs arrow button) to get the option to build the pickle bar, if you can’t see the button you need to have a sim go to the mall. Click on a bench on the left side upstairs as if you want that sim to “rest from shopping.” The icon should appear now.
The burger bar is located on the top left level of the mall
What can you do with the bar?
Toddlers, preteens, teens, adults and seniors can have burgers (wait for burger- 1 hour) have a sim serve at the bar (10 hours) so that sim can have a burger- 10 minutes
Preteens, teens, adults and seniors can have a milkshake for one but teens can also have a milkshake for two (both teens select milkshake for two option at same table) if you want them to have a milkshake you again need a sim serving and then 2 sims sitting at one table as they share the milkshake.
The juice bar is your prize for completing the bowling hobby for the first time- you need to go up a floor (using the upstairs arrow button) to get the option to build the juice bar, if you can’t see the button you need to have a sim go to the mall. Click on a bench on the left side upstairs as if you want that sim to “rest from shopping.” The button should appear now.
The juice bar is located on the top right level of the mall
What can you do with the juice bar?
You can have a sim mix juice for 10 hours and teen, adult and senior sims can sit at the table and wait for drink order for 10 minutes, they will then take 8 minutes to drink it. (toddlers can’t)
Teens can sit at the stools and hang out for 10 minutes
You firstly need to build the ground floor, then you need to build the escalator near the burger bar to unlock the Pretty Little Planters Quest, once complete you can build the second floor interior:
You can have 10 sims in the mall at one time, so the more sims you use the quicker the clean up will be! The total time stated on this post would be if you used just one sim.
You can start on area one as soon as you have completed the quest
When you complete the Pretty Little Planters quest you unlock the wumples play center for toddlers! They can play on the tree swing, tree slide and use the octopus see-saw:
Once you complete the makeup artist hobby you will be able to build the coin fountain.
Buying Clothes
To buy clothes you can:
Click on the blue symbol in the entrance way to the mall as shown in the image below:
2.Select the store tab in the wardrobe:
3.Visit the costume and swim store or hair salon
It says NEW next to clothes you have recently unlocked in the store or brought in the wardrobe
I know this is a screenshot of makeup but it works the same as clothes
When you buy a new item it is then available in your wardrobe for as many sims as you want (who are of the same gender and life stage) to use at the same time, instead of having to buy the item for each sim like you previously had to.
The nightclub is a place for your sims to socialise with each other. It costs 15SP to build.
The nightclubs location can be found on the town map here
Once it is built the outside looks like this:
Inside it looks like this:
What can you do at the nightclub?
A sim can become a DJ for 7 minutes using the DJ decks
Once you have a DJ others can dance on the dancefloor for 3 minutes
Sims can’t really dance together, when you press join in they stand in different parts of the dance floor which I don’t like but it does build up a relationship quite quickly although you probably wouldn’t realise this as no screen appears after they have finished to tell you a relationship milestone has been reached like it usually does.
A sim can tend the bar and then other sims can order drinks for 2500 each (these drinks inspire your sims)
You can also just sit and relax for 2 minutes.
Is it worth the cost?
I really like the nightclub because it is different, but there isn’t that much to do really, I would like them to be able to dance longer and actually with other sims and for drinks to be cheaper!
3.Visit the costume and swim store or hair salon
