Restocking

A Sim restocking the shelf

Restocking is one of the Talent Badges introduced in The Sims 2: Open for Business, and is essential in business. There are two ways a shop can be restocked. The first is to go into Buy mode and delete the sold out signs, then replace them with new stock and mark that stock for sale. The other is to have a Sim restock the shelves. Catalog items that are restocked are automatically bought at wholesale, and any wholesale business perks the owner has are applied, even if the owner is not doing the restocking.

As Sims restock shelves, they earn a talent badge in restocking, and if an employee is doing it, the player can focus on other things. As a Sim gains badge levels in restocking, he or she can perform the task quicker and more efficiently. A Sim with a Gold badge can manage it much more quickly than one with no badge.

Having a high Body skill will help a Sim gain Restocking talent.
