So gorgeous! The kind of book store where people spend hours inside.

This is incredible! In terms of gameplay: you have helpfully put this right on the exact lot where members of the university secret society, The Order of Enchantment, spawn to do their rituals at the nearby fairy circle! I would absolutely make your bookshop keeper a member of the order, and maybe even convert one of the apartments to a secret clubroom where they can grow or bake gifts for the sprites. Amazing!

I have been playing the sims for 20 years and I still ALWAYS forget to put garbage/trash cans. It never fails. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one 😂

This is stunning my revenclaw heart is screaming and my Tolkien sim is just about to sell his old book shop to buy this and live here for good!

Wait. Did you just admit you’re playing?!? Petition for a Dark Academia let’s play 🙌🏼 beautiful build as always!!

The Saleabration retail system (a mod by Ravasheen) would work well with this, I think. Just don't try to price any of the debug books, because the mod won't work for those, but any of the books that can be purchased in Build/Buy should be usable with the mod, and even the debug books would probably be fine as filler decor as long as you don't try to assign any pricing to them. Saleabration will also allow your bookstore owner to live in the apartment on the premises, which is great since I think the built-in Retail system that comes with Get to Work won't let you live on a Retail lot. The only catch with the mod is that opening the bookstore counts as an event, and the owner has to be on the lot for the entire event for the mod to work, so if your bookstore owner needs to leave the lot for any reason, they will need to close the store first. (They don't have to be in the shop itself for it to stay open, just on the lot, so they can go to their apartment to meet other needs like sleep, eat, or go to the toilet.) But the player would want to close the store on occasion anyway, since that's when you collect the income you made during the work day. So it would make sense for your shop owner to open the shop in the morning and then close it later that evening before doing anything they might want to do off the lot.

stunning 😍 I really love seeing builds that are not only pretty but also created to be used for gameplay. would really enjoy seeing and hearing more from your personal save files ❤

Fry, you're always so incredibly talented! Love what you did. It fits so well in magical/fantasy storylines!

This build is right up my alley. I love dark academia meets gaslamp fantasy strongly informed by a very whimsical witchy sensibility. Plus, it's just plain beautiful, with all the wood tones, warm light, and greenery. Thank you so much for making it available to play in!

You are ridiculously talented, this is on a whole new level of gorgeous!

It's so good! I actually ran to my boyfriend just to show him your build, because it's sooo our vibe

My brain cannot comprehend how talented you are! My favorite Sims Content Creator! Even though I don’t have a lot of the packs, I still enjoy just watching your videos and getting inspired to build as well. Thank you!

Absolutely stunning! I love the whole feel of this. The book store is amazing and the integrated apartments are just brilliant. Just incredible x

I thought i was the only one who loved the sw pack for witchy and run down builds! This is a super cute build.

This is one of the most beautiful and creative builds I’ve seen

Imagine when we get to paint ceilings!! ✨✨✨

I loved! It turned out beautiful, it reminds me a lot of those magical bookstores that appear in some movies, it conveyed the idea very well, I loved it

Adorable! Thanks for sharing.

I was craving something magical, Harry Potter-esque and this is the first thing that shows up on youtube 😍 I love the bookshop, magical and beautiful as always! ❤✨

I haven’t played the sims in years and you just reminded me why you were always my favourite builder! So imaginative💜

Stunning build, thanks for sharing! As for money-making ideas the most immersive experience would be with mods. There is the "Live in Business" by littlemssam or " Saleabration retail system" by ravesheen. Both would allow your sim to live in the store and have roommates. You can set build/buy books for sale OR write your own books. Always keep the original and use the duplicated copies to sell. You can do that with the shop owner and/or the other writers that might be living in the building (as long as they are in the household). If you don't want to go with mods, I'd suggest writing books, creating copies and selling them for a mark up on a selling table inside the shop.

Gorgeous building ❤ Also if you use mods, littlemssam has mod "live in business", with it you can turn residential lot into a shop.

This is so beautiful! ❤

This is awesome! I need your roofing skill, definitely taking notes 📝

Omg, your build are just the best. It looks so gorgeous. That bookstore, love it. So up my ally. And your style in the owners apartment, I am with you all the way. It looks so stunning, magical and cozy. Thanks for yet another great build, that really inspired 💛💛💛

I love this so much! It's a truly beautiful build.

Love this build!

I absolutely love this build!

I would love to be in that space..only thing missing is comfy reading chair to enjoy a book and cup of hot chocolate downstairs . ☺️

Just what I was looking for. I'm working in a my little pony story and this one is perfect for twilight, thank you so much!

Thanks for uploading this. I'm putting this in my game right now!

OMGGGG WONDERFUL ! I LOOOOOVE IT ! i will download this build FOR SURE . Thank you so much !

Absolutely stunning!!! Beautiful! 😍 🤩 😍

thank you for sharing your backstory on the build - its fantastic 🤩🤩

Best favorite yet.

This is so beautiful. A library with a ladder would be a dream (as long as I didn’t have to dust it!). Maybe the owner is an student with a freelance job? Then maybe you could pretend the income is from the store since the sim would be working from home anyway.

I am completely and utterly charmed by this ❤️

Amazing work as always Fry

This is breathtaking

I absolutely love this. Almost makes me want this in real life. Excellent work.

I LOVED this!!

Oh my god…. This is gorgeous… beyond!!! 💫

I love how cozy and cute it is! I would spend hours and hours inside that bookshop 😻

Looks so good.

TRULY MAGNIFICENT‼️🥰

That's a gorgeous build!

The interior looks almost identical to the bookstore in Diagon Alley from Harry Potter!! 😮🥰🩷

This is my dream library! ❤❤ I would love to have a book store in the future 😊

Incredible.

Love it. I'm currently working on a small bookstore.

Simplemente hermoso

This is just delightful! I think you could tell a lot of fun stories here. I don't have some of these packs but when I pick them up I'm definitely looking for this shop in the gallery. I had no interest in the Star Wars pack but you have made the case for it. Now I have to get it lol.

Beautiful! I want to live here IRL!

Beautiful build. I would probably remodel it as s student housing complex building. I may also modify it as a mini spellcaster school. It does look like a nice idea for a library, but I don't use those much in the game.

This reminds me of the library in Barbie of Swan Lake 😍

Thank you this is beautiful. Sadly, I can't give a Video a Heart because I would do it in this case. Could it be that Aziraphael lives there secretly with Crowley or is the Books shop of A.Z. Fell and Co. a strong competitor to this shop? I think there lives an Old Lady with her two Teenager Nieces/Nephews. The Bookshop is the Place where she and her Friends meet for their Crafting Circle, where they Craft Magical Items and sell them on Flopsy (if that will one day work ^^) she and her Friend try to find romantical Partners for all their unmarried Relatives including Neighbours 🤣

gorgeous! why didn't we see the downstairs apartments though? i thought they were a neat idea and was excited to see them. also, i couldn't tell, but did you put couches or chairs in the bookshop part? every bookshop needs a bit of seating for people to sit and read lol

First off this is stunning. Maybe you could give the shopkeeper the librarian career, I think that's a career right? Then you'll get money but it goes with the aesthetic

Please simploved !!! build castles from the netflix movie: The School for Good and Evil

🤩
