In ''[[The Sims 2]] '', ''[[The Sims 3 Store]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4]]'', a '''business''' is a player-made, player-controlled shop in which, depending on the business type, practically any item can be sold or various services can be provided. This is the primary goal in ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business]]'', and is one of the more complex systems of the game.[[File: Sims 2 and Sims 4 Business.png|thumb|right|Sims using the main register for their businesses (Top is ''The Sims 2'', bottom is ''The Sims 4'')]] |

More expensive objects have the highest potential profits when sold. The most valuable wholesale items in the game, in ascending order, are the [[Temple of Jumbok IV]], the Aquabox "60 Gallons of Awesome" [[Aquarium]], the [[Pearson 206 SimRanger|helicopter]], the large [[Skating rink|skating rinks]], and the [[Pirate Ship|pirate ship]]. Of these, the aquarium is the most practical because it is far smaller. |

Shops can sell services such as [[Cosmetology|makeovers]]. With ''[[Bon Voyage]]'', a shop that has the massage table can sell [[massage]]s. |

Businesses can be randomly reviewed by special reviewer NPCs. Reviewers pose as normal customers in a business, browsing or partaking in the business's services, often while jotting down notes in a notebook. After some time in the business, a reviewer will talk to the owner or manager and reveal the outcome of their review. |

Businesses can either receive a good review or a bad review. Business owners will often roll a want for a good review, and/or roll a fear of having a bad review. The outcome of a review has an impact on the popularity of a Sim's business; a good review will bring in more customers, while a bad review will reduce the number of customers. |

Businesses can receive a special "Best of the Best" award for an exceptionally good review; this award comes with a boost in customer traffic, and also gives the business owner a special plaque that can be placed in the business, impressing customers who stop to look at it. |
