How To Run A Successful Bakery | The Sims 4 Guide 

You can open up new recipes by going places and tasting stuff from packs like city living, snowy escape, island living etc. My favorite is the carob cake. It's healthy cake that doesn't give toddlers the sugar crash haha

This video was SOOO helpful because I was always making bakery’s that were very unsuccessful. And now I can actually make a good bakery. So awesome☺️

God, this was so helpful. Never bothered owning a retail store and just now thought I might give it a shot. Didn't even know you could have a bakery!

Here’s what I don’t understand: Why bother taking the time to dislike? This videos are so helpful! Thank you!🤍

I’ve made a bakery before and it was the most fun I’ve had in the sims.

i made a bakery because of this video, i also decided that i could sell my sims paintings too. and oh my, do the paintings sell like hot cakes! i made 5k in one day and that’s just because i ran out of paintings. the sims definitely don’t buy baked goods as much as my excellent quality bakery items. but they’re still adorable so i keep a couple displays in my shop. and instead of restocking that same painting for $400, i go back home and make new paintings for 50-100 and make more profit plus there’s new interesting paintings every day! this is so super fun and i’m glad i bought get to work finally

I JUST got the expansion and I loved the idea of a bakery and wanted to try it! Thank you! 😫❤

When you say "going off" I keep thinking of someone getting upset or excited haha American English would say "go bad" for food. Just something that I found amusing. Hadn't encountered that before

I know it's silly, but I just wanted to tell someone: My boyfriend and I play this game together. For real, we made ourselves, our dream house, families and their real houses in the game. We take turns and update the other on what's been going on in our world. Now to the important bit: his family is pretty miserable. His dad is a doctor that comes from a long line of doctors, his mom is a lawyer that comes from a long line of lawyers and judges, and his older brother is studying to be a doctor even though he always wanted to be an athlete, although he couldn't because of some physical problems. None of them ever actually want to do what they do now. So we had their sims doing the closest equivalent to their real life jobs, and then it hit me: I can make these versions of them happy. So my father in law with the impeccable palate is a food critic that owns a restaurant, my mother in law that loves to make cakes owns a bakery and paints as a hobby, and my brother in law is a world class athlete.

I came across your tutorials this week, and --- OH MY GOD!, I just love these videos! You have fun ideas, simple tips, and you're truly a Sims fan! And I love the fact that you don't fill up your gameplay with mods :D Kudos, Petey! You've gained a subscriber ;)

It would be super interesting to see you attempt this one again but with the addition of the Simple Living lot trait from Cottage Living! It would definitely make it harder but also pretty interesting

Thank you for this! In my save, Bob Pancakes has just gone through a messy divorce from Eliza so I was thinking to use some of the settlement money to set up his own bakery! This video is exactly what I needed ☺️

I don't know how I missed this OMG....I already have a top-level chef. It's definitely time for him to open his own business. Wish us luck!! Thanks for the details and hidden GEMS as always and you're right, hygiene is important LOL!!

For skip almost all the aspiration university is the best choice, coz if you get an a grade the sim immediately go into the level 8 of the carrer! Also for skip some levels is good connection as reward trait.

Homie broke it down like an actual real business! 🤣 I forgot I was watching a sims video for a bit. I was learning how to run a real bakery! I don't even like baking! Very impressed.

This video got me inspired to try running a business, a bakery!

i love your videos because i often buy packs without ever using much of their potential game enrichment :D not long ago i started to try out more of the functionalitys of the pack and i like to get inspired by your videos :) thanks :) i guess i will start a bakery next :D

You’re guides are amazing 🙏✨

Yeah, I had a master chef before I even got this expansion, so all my food had no expiration at all. Haha. I loved it.

For some reason i kept on laughing on the way you hovering the cursor over the cupcakes like you're so excited to show how good the cupcakes while breathing heavily haha 😄

I’ve grown to really like the bakery. I kinda like it more than the vet clinic, which is what I was playing before this pack. The bakery is much more easy going, the vet clinic stressed me out 😅

Hi Petey, thanks for the informative video. I just thought I’d point out that Ambrosia doesn’t spoil, so you never have to worry about it going bad.

I just got Get to Work for 50% off because I reeeally wanted to have a bakery. Maybe today I’ll have some time to play!

I hate owning a bakery because it makes me hungry :(

I need to change up some things in my bakery. Thank you!

These are amazing ideas. I'm going to build a takeaway counter for fast food in my personal save file

Thank you so much for this video. I am trying to do my first time bakery and i had no clue what to do to get it started so ty so os much

You do such a fantastic job explaining and entertaining and your Bakery was top notch!

Fantastic tutorial Petey, 🙏🏼very clear and good to know why. After playing and building so many years I never seem to got around to build Bakery. But now with your help I have no excuse any more 😂 . Thank you so so much 🥰🍞🥯🧇🥖

Thank you! I just built a whole bakery and people only ate the free samples, not buying a single baked good. I hope this works!

Such a helpful vid!! I hope my bakery becomes as successful as yours haha

Very helpful. Life saver, dude!

I have a 5 star restaurant yet I barely make money off of it 💀 the dang ingredients are so expensive

Hey thanks for this cool video I noticed that I used the same wallpaper for my bakery😂 just thought it was funny Also you can decorate your baked goods to sell them with a higher price Just wanted to drop this little tip if anyone didnt already know it:"

i love how creative this is!

Don't forget the yard sale/flea market table for sales. I would like to see a video on it as a good comparison from retail.

I love your videos! also... Ambrosia dossent spoil...just putting it out there. thank you for the info!! Love from Israel :)

hi petey, can you make an updated guide combining with home chef hustle? i just want to see townies buying my sim's food and actually sitting down and eating it. basically, i just want a "restaurant" where my sim is the cook T_T coz dineout is such a bummer

I think I am going to use the basic principles of this to learn some interesting world recipes and then open a delicatessen. How feasible would it be to incorporate a coffee machine and sit-in tables for customers? Am thinking I could make the drinks and then also set them for sale.

What a great video again. If I switch households, can my new sim buy these perfect dishes in this store? I'm asking because this way you could build a small business imperium spread over different families.

i don't think yk how helpful this was. i built my own bakery and literally on the first day i forgot to stock anything 🤣

I thought it would be cheaper to remake the produce instead of restocking them?? :0 it surely is at least if you don't have the restocking perks, right?

quality content

Question: when a customer buys an item in the display case, the sign will say there are 7 items left but then it still makes me restock. Is there any way to sell the items individually or is each customer essentially buying an entire plate of cupcakes, bagels, etc?

Omfg this is such a genius idea I’m definitely doing this

I saw on the reddit that you can actually assign a manager to retail store and you can keep the store open when you're not in the lot.. For the profit, you have to call the manager once a day to get it.. I dont know of It's true but can you please have a research and tell me in this comment? I still doesn't know which is which in this game

Thank you! Very helpful

Thank so much it helped a lot but one question how did you get the bakery display???

New Idea, baked a cake and buy a table from activities option ment for saleable goods and then fixed a price at 300 per cent, more profitable that way....also a run a retail shop of electronics at exhorbidant and paint something while i did

Can you sell the items from your personal kitchen? I made a cake from my stove and tried to sell it in my shop but no one bought any

thank you

Loved this video!

Great video, I loved it

Nice. Hope you earn more money in your SIMS bakery business. By the way, do you deposit your hard earned money in SNB (SIMS National Bank)? Do you have opportunity to secure SNB loans for your bakery business expansion?

Im hungry now for cup cakes and cookies❤️😅

Which business makes the most money

My bakery glitches so that only some food costs money do you know how that works?

Hey ! Love your vids 💗. Is your bakery on gallery?

Hey cool video . Can you make a build and design bakery without cc ? I would like to see some tips and tricks

the warmer is better the customers go and check themselves out easy and i think the expiration times are longer too. but klepto can just sneak. and also the items easily sell no need to mark as on sale. and you dont have to clean them!

you have to have an exspansion pack? Im to broke for that but its a good guide🥺😞

Thank you for this video, plus can you do the spa and how to run it

Excellent video.

How to put items in the glass container?

how many hours do you keep the store open. my sims seem to buy the same items first everytime. so the cheaper things dont sell

Question. If I took another sim to the store, would the sim that owns the business be running it?

Do you need a pack to open a bakery, like a restaurant? Or can I maybe add this to my restaurant?

I dont have Get to Work but i like the idea of owning a bakery ugh!😢

What is that shelf called that you put the cupcakes and things called??

How do you place the cash register. That should have been #1 on this list. What furniture do I need for the cash register

Where do you find the baking display? I can't find it anywhere

So cute do the empty boxes come with the display cabinets?

Do I start this off as a owning my own retail store or restaurant?

Question. Im playing on xbox...Are the prices you seen for donate/sell to local bakery $xxx the price it would be if you sell ot at your own? Most of my prices are $300-$600. Im maxed on culinary career and have all baking/gourmet maxed. So im trying to replace my cases with better items but how is there a way to tell? Example carrot cake is $300 to restock but if I make one and it says donate/sell to local bakery for $350. Is it safe to use that cake and replace the one in my own store because I know ill get more for it??? tia

The secret to any successful business is TO BE THERE and work yourself. My wife likes animals so she made a successful pet clinic. I worked in kitchens for many years and i've made a successful restaurant. Only part i didn't like is that the waitresses and the hostess don't welcome and sit the customers on tables, your sim has to do that, same as with the pet clicnic, my wife had to hire personnel that could also act as doctors but if you aren't in it yourself, they're just eating flies to kill the time. Of course, you, as the owner need to be there and much as in real life, to make money, you must work your butt off.

You are amazing

Hi , I know I’m a little bit late but I wanted to ask what do you do in order to make your sim a pro at baking do you have to have the packs in order to do it? Because I don’t yet

My customers keep ignoring my baked good in my 3 department mall furniture store bakery and clothing store people only head for my clothes and furniture and not my baked goods can you tell me what went wrong?

is this bakery on the gallery

Is this pc?

Can you take food out of your inventory to sell

How do i get the bakery?

I have a kind of issue , my clients did not buy annything they just talk and stay in front windows to watch the cakes .... :( if someone already had this issue i would be glad from some help thank you very much !

I need help it says sell item but it won’t show the amount it jus says they bought it for 0 simelons or whatever it’s called

Awesome 😄

Is there any way I can earn simoleons without going to my retail stores ?

My customers won't eat in my bakery, I've set up a table and made the baked stuff not for sale

does anybody know how or where do I get those baking displays

i followed everything, and still havent made a sale

When I am at my bakery the people I have employed don't do anything the just stand and talk

How do I get the display thingy?

Where can i get the things for bakery ?

what pack do you need?

Trying to build a bakery and it’s making me so mad, my retail lot isn’t letting me put the baked goods for sale. And then on top of that it’s not letting me edit, saying I have to go to maps for the lot to be edited. Help.

I tried this but also I sold decor items...no one buy my sim's baked goods they only buy decor items

Is anyone having issues placing items in the display case on PS5? I can't place any of my baked goods is the display case :(

My customers won’t buy anything??? Idk what to do??

I find it weird how baked goods are in various places like cooking

Can you hire workers?

People could get unsuccesful from open a bakery?? I thought they'll always success and sold out 🙃 and since they keep sold out, when i got lazy, i won't open the bakery for weeks (in sims time)
