About This Lot

Have you ever heard the story of Whole Foods and how it came to be? Wait, first, before we dive in, let's make sure we're all on the same page. Do you know what Whole Foods is? For those of you outside the US, UK, and Canada, Whole Foods is basically a grocery store, yes... but not just any grocery store. It's a high-end grocery store that sells high-quality, organic, and natural products—think of your local grocery store, but more elevated, more luxurious... and depending on where you live, maybe actually nothing like your local grocery store at all. In the video for this community lot, I dive into the story of Whole Foods, share the inspiration that went into building this beautifully functional lot, and at the end, I do a play-through to show just how smoothly the lot operates. While I never intended to share this lot, I've had so much fun with it in my game over the months that I knew I had to share it with you all ❤️!

Extra CC and Mod Recommendations!

Certain items may not be included in the download because they are considered a mod, hack, or item that alters the game functionality. These items are not required to make the lot function; just fun to use and enhance your gameplay.

Items Not Included:

Item Name	URL	Description
Perfume Display Rack Shelf Mesh	Link	Mesh for the 'Display Rack' listed under CC included. I highly recommend to add this item, otherwise please uncheck 'Display Rack' object when installing with Sims 2 Clean Installer.
Invisible Customizable Foodstand	Link	I highly recommend adding this item along with CEP, otherwise your shelves will be the base game green or blue upon loading.
OFB Shelving Recolors	Link	I recommend adding this along with CEP if you would like the light wood display shelves, otherwise the game will use the default blue and green shelves.
Functional Food Truck	Link	A functional and autonomous food stand truck that allows your sims to purchase mexican/spanish food to eat.
Self Checkout Auto Cash Register	Link	Allows sims to automatically checkout when they are done shopping. Perfect if you'd like to avoid hiring cashiers for any lot!
Decoration Cash Register	Link	Simply a decorative item, but perfect if you'd like to direct customer traffic to one or two specific cash registers and avoid fustrated customers and empty cash registers.
