Cash register

See also: Register (talent badge)

Registers were introduced in The Sims: Hot Date, and were present in all later expansion packs for The Sims. They are also found in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3. They allow Sims to make purchases on community lots. Except for the register from The Sims: Makin' Magic, which is a kiosk with a cashbox, registers must be placed on a surface, usually a counter.

Register Game Hot Date/Vacation/Unleashed/ Superstar/Makin' Magic Buyable Buy mode Type Electronics/Other Size 1x1 table

Hot Date included two registers, one cheap and one expensive, and each subsequent expansion pack added a new type of register. Any register can be used on any community lot, and each register will spawn an NPC clerk or cashier. These NPCs are functionally identical, but their appearance will depend on the register that spawned them. The clerks spawned by the Hot Date registers will be generic downscale or upscale, depending on which register was used. Clerks spawned by the registers from expansion packs after Hot Date will generally fit the theme of the community area introduced in the expansion the register is from.

BS-PA4 Cash Register	The Sims: Hot Date	Community lot	§120	1x1 table	Barrow & Steele registers are loved by clerks and patrons worldwide. The sleek and sophisticated design is as appealing to the eye as the increased speed and accuracy is to the temper. And with our new InvenStory control software, keeping track of what's for sale is just a button push away. So whether you own a pub, restaurant, corner shop or boutique, let BS do the selling for you!	Type: Electronics
Antique Cash Register	The Sims: Hot Date	Community lot	§310	1x1 table	These antique mechanical marvels and their metal successors are a tribute to the tinkering and obsessive engineering skill of the truly evolved mind. Not many are left in this era of computer glitches and "user interfaces," and those that do are highly coveted by up-scale storeowners and antique dealers. 100% original brass and walnut trim. Wooden nickel drawer.	Type: Electronics Room: 1
Bayes "InvenStory" Register	The Sims: Vacation	Community lot	§229	1x1 table	When Rev. Thomas Bayes first wrote his mathematical probability formula back in 1763, who could have imagined it would be controlling our lives today? Not only does the hyper-efficient InvenStory software track what MIGHT be sold in the near future, it can remember shop-and-effect relationships, model shoplifting scenarios, predict irrational customer complaints and, best of all, time employee lunch breaks down to the second.	Type: Electronics
Mechanique Cash Register	The Sims: Unleashed	Community lot	§275	1x1 table	Mechanique was one of the first cash register companies, and they'll probably be one of the last. Despite all the advances in electronics, inventory software, and finger preservation, you just can't beat the sounds and FEELING these registers give your store. "If you don't mind the creak, try Mechanique."	Type: Electronics
Electronic Estimator Cash Register	The Sims: Superstar	Community lot	§289	1x1 table	This cash register by Abacus Inc. has forsaken that company's signature retro look for a no-nonsense Plastic Age modernism. Industry analysts are puzzled by the company's new direction, and have dubbed the move a "desperate grab for more cash". Regardless, it's clear that this machine possesses all of the usual Abacus amenities, such as padded buttons, finger-strain protection, and an advanced transaction calculation engine.	Type: Electronics
Kurrency Kiosk LX	The Sims: Makin' Magic	Community lot	§99	1x1 table	Appearances can be deceiving and this little booth is no exception. Hidden behind the aged wood and brightly colored streamers is an impenetrable money managing device. More secure than any cash register previously on the market while still retaining that outdoorsy-rustic feel, this financial fortress will keep your money safe while you pull in the patrons.	Type: Other

The Sims 2

Register Game The Sims 2/Open for Business/The Sims 2: H&M Fashion Stuff Buyable Buy mode Type Electronics Size 1x1 counter

The Sims 2 included a normal-looking register, Open for Business added a second, antique-looking register, and H&M Fashion Stuff added a third, fashionable register. Without Open for Business, or on unowned community lots with it, the cashier will be one of several teen NPCs set aside as cashiers. NPC cashiers wear a pale yellow shirt, blue jeans, and a green apron.

With Open for Business, the cash register is necessary for most player-run businesses and for learning the Register talent badge. Players should be aware that, while the NPC cashiers show Gold badge proficiency on unowned community lots, it is likely that they will not actually have any Register talent badge.

Aunt Julianna's Old Moneymaker	The Sims 2: Open for Business	Buy mode	§225	1x1 counter	Your clientele are the sort of stodgy, respectable Sims whose ancestors lived here long before it was even a country.

Keep their money in this distinguished old till while you hold it for them.	Type: Electronics Available colors: Bronze, Black

The Sims 3

Register Game The Sims 3: World Adventures/Ambitions/Supernatural Buyable Buy mode Type Other Size 1x1

Cash Registers in The Sims 3 are introduced in The Sims 3: World Adventures and come in four different forms:

• Bookstore Register
• Nectary Register
• General Store Register
• Food Register

Each register spawns its respective merchant Sim at markets in vacation sub-neighborhoods. These registers can be placed in home neighborhoods like Sunset Valley or Twinbrook, however they will not contain full purchase inventories. For example, the bookstore register will only sell those books sold in the bookstore rabbit hole when it is placed in a main neighborhood, and not the rare exclusive books sold in the respective sub-neighborhoods. These objects can only be placed on community lots, and they have three recolorable channels.

New registers were added with other expansions, buyable in the community lot objects under build mode. With Ambitions came the consignment shop register. The limited edition of The Sims 3: Pets came with a pet register for the pet shop, and Supernatural also came with a register for the alchemy shop.
