Grocery Store NPC Set | Workers NPC Series | Set 1 *download*

The first set of our Workers NPC Series is finally complete, and we've finished everything for the grocery store! What started as a simple set of NPCs has evolved into fully functional employees, bringing actual gameplay to your grocery stores. In addition to the NPCs, we’ve added custom grocery bags, mini mods, various decorations, and more to enhance your experience.

Complete Item List

NPC List / Employees

Florist - Bailee

The florist, AKA Bailee, offers three unique interactions that let your Sims purchase flowers, bouquets, and gifts. These items come with a wide variety of options spanning multiple packs, including the base game. Since bouquets aren’t available in the base game, I’ve substituted them with carryable flower vases, making this feature accessible to everyone!

Baker

The baker NPCs, Louis and Estrella, each perform their own unique animations and sell cakes, pies, and pastries. Their interactions are object-dependent—Louis’s animations work best when he’s positioned behind a counter, while Estrella’s animations pair well with the Baker's Mixing Bowl or a dessert placed in front of her.

Butcher

The butchers at the grocery store, Karter and Danielle, offer interactions that let your Sims purchase the daily catch, fish, and meat. When using the 'Buy Fish/Meat Groceries' interaction, Sims can also grab the Butcher's Grocery Bag for free. This carryable storage item allows Sims to store other purchases in the bag. Danielle’s animation sequence requires the Butcher's Cutting Board to be placed on a counter in front of her for proper functionality.

Cashiers

The cashiers—Rosa, Steven, and Greta—serve as a catch-all option. If you can’t find specific items, like vegetables or herbs, from the other NPCs, you can purchase them from the cashiers. While they may also carry some of the items sold by other NPCs, their stock is limited in quantity. In addition to the 'Shop for Ingredients' interaction, cashiers also offer the 'Buy Grocery Sets' interaction, allowing Sims to purchase the Meat Lovers' and Vegetarian Essentials Grocery Bags.

Grocery List Mini Mod

In addition to the NPCs, this set includes the ability to create custom grocery lists. Simply have your Sim purchase the 'Grocery List Pad' from Build & Buy. This item comes in two colors, each with two variations, for a total of four swatches. Once placed in the world, your Sim can use the 'Grab' interaction to rip a grocery list from the pad.

The swatch of the Grocery List your Sims receive will match the selected Grocery List Pad. For example, if you use the white swatch of the pad, the paper your Sims pull will also be white. Clicking on the Grocery List brings up a menu where your Sims can title and create their list. Once completed, hovering over the list will display what you wrote.

Grocery Bags

Butcher's Grocery Bag

The Butcher's Grocery Bag can be obtained for free when purchasing other items from either of the two Butcher NPCs. This item has no direct interactions but functions as a storage container, allowing your Sims to store items purchased from the butcher. Keep in mind that the bag must be placed in the world to access its inventory.

Vegetarian Essentials

The Vegetarian Essentials Grocery Bag can be purchased from a cashier through the 'Grocery Sets' interaction. This item functions as both a carryable storage container and a mini store, allowing for your Sims to purchase ingredients needed for their meat-free meals. Upon purchase, the bag will include several items that may seem random at first but are specifically chosen to match ingredients required for recipes in the vegetarian section of the cooking menu.

Meat Lovers'

The Meat Lovers' Grocery Bag can also be purchased from a cashier through the 'Grocery Sets' interaction. Similarly to the Vegetarian Essentials Grocery Bag, it functions as both a storage item for groceries and a mini store. In this bag, your Sims will be able to purchase several ingredients needed for meals across packs that incorporate meat.

Debug Decorations

While creating the butcher NPCs, I wanted to incorporate some debug items for the cutting board. During this process, I discovered a few other debug items that I thought would be great additions. While debug items can be found without CC, certain cooking clutter items tend to stink or get cleaned up by your Sims, ruining the effect. I’ve modified these debug items so that Sims no longer recognize them as cooking leftovers, and I’ve made it easier to slot the other decorative items.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although this set uses items from multiple packs, all NPC interactions are base game compatible and will still function with base game options for selling items. To find these items in the Build & Buy catalog, search for 'Grocery Store,' 'Workers NPC Series,' or 'cherisi'
