[@mellowyellowsocks]

Most Spanish speaking countries use the same word for banana and plantain "plátano". There are only a few Spanish speaking countries, mostly in the Caribbean (Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, etc...) that have different words for both foods. We call bananas "guineo" (pronunciation for English speakers: gee-neigh-oh) and plantains "plátano". The word "guineo" comes from the African influence in these countries from when the Spaniards brought slaves to work the land. Some other Spanish speaking countries just say banana but with Spanish pronunciation... But yeah, bananas and plantains are not the same thing.... I've always wondered why the Sims team decided to use plantain instead of banana for the Sims 4 when for the rest of the games they've used banana for all the other games. I've never understood that. :O

[@BloodyBraces]

You should make a backroom to the store where Banana's kitchen and bed are and there's a storage closet in it where she 'convinces' customers to buy her bananas

[@terrinooner1283]

Bahahahaha yess

[@troublemaker3427]

I think he got it wrong. You still need to talk to custımers to fill the meter. You just don't have to ring them up for every single plantain

[@Tiza126]

Put a radio/speaker in the retail store so Banana can listen to music while she works and keep her fun up.

[@onelih5526]

Use the public fishing traps. If you bait them and wait long enough you get fish and treasure. Also, the sectioned off fishing spot in your near your retail lot frequently gives the most expensive treasures-- or at least in my game. Hope that helps!

[@Akira_of_the_Fae]

Ideas to buy for store!!! -> Woodworking table! (make and sell objects) Easel!! (can sell paintings with or without markup!) Computer!

(make new baby bananas🍌😏) Maybe a pool eventually so she can be a mermaid at home! A bath! (for her hydration :)) More candles and “off the grid” lights!! These are just a few of my suggestions, don’t take them too seriously :) If you don’t like it, oh well! Have a good day y’all ;)

[@PeachyDesigns]

So you inspired me to do my own rags to riches story with Island Living, and one way to make more money is create paintings and sell them in shop. I used to have a similar designed hut to yours and then I added walls in the hut to place the paintings. If you do like a 50% markup you will make over a thousand a day just on the paintings.

[@TriniCMuslim]

1) "technically" u CAN sell the incorrect fridge u bought but do it like u returned it to the store and got a restocking fee... Maybe. 2) Also a fence around the garden or making it look more like a greenhouse maybe. 3) I think she keeps running to the water because she is a mermaid. Maybe try having a bathtub on the lot maybe she won't go back and forth

[@TriniCMuslim]

Also maybe the residential lot shud be built as a series of "huts" on the lot. One for retail. One For sheltering the plants (greenhouse). The one for residential items like her bed kitchen shower etc.
