I would like zois to be able to operate a business from home.
I’m building an “apartment style” house for Dowon where the ground floor is a gym. I would absolutely love it if the owners could designate the ground floor as open to the public during business hours. On the second floor, I would like to section off the entrance to the main apartment from an area for the staff to eat, use a staff bathroom, etc.
I love the idea of mixed-use buildings.
If it would be better (for programming and city design reasons) to have properties that are designated as mixed-use rather than allowing any residential property to be converted into a home business, I would be happy with that! The lot could be in a specific location that’s great or not-very-good for businesses, and we could build additional floors to expand the business and living spaces as much as we want to, that would be perfect.
I hope the devs have already thought of it, and it just isn’t ready to show off yet.
They are interested in making more ways for our zois to earn a living on their own terms. I’m certain they’ll expand the types of businesses we can operate, too, like clothing stores, hair salons, etc. If they add flower gardening as a skill, flower shops would be great businesses to operate on a property where your zoi lives in the back of the shop, and grows flowers in the back of the property (in greenhouses or otherwise).
I really like this idea. I would love to have my zoi live in an apartment on top of his/her business. There was an old TV show I used to watch back in the late 90s title Roswell. Where the main lead family owned a dinner and their apartment was on the top floor. It will be so nice to recreate something like that in the game.
