Mixed Business and Residential Property/Operating a Business from Home

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.

Thank you so much for considering this idea. :folded_hands: :heart:

I totally agree - this would be amazing :custom_heart:
I also love combining work and home builds and this was something I was thinking about too :sweat_smile:

I hope the devs have already thought of it, and it just isn’t ready to show off yet. :crossed_fingers:

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). :blossom:

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.
