Sunset Valley’s economic ecosystem requires places to spend hard-earned Simoleons to remain healthy. In addition to the restaurants in the previous section, there are three places to trade money for goods and services.
Spending Simoleons at these locations not only helps with skills and needs, but also with inspiring moodlets that boost overall mood and keep those Lifetime Happiness Points rolling in on a regular basis.

Divisadero’s Budget Books should be a regular stop for all Sims, not just bookworms. This bookstore sells a variety of books that fulfill a number of goals and provide great degrees of pleasure.
The bookstore contains skill developing manuals that help with the growth of Cooking, Logic, Fishing, and other talents. The shop also sells recipes that expand the repertoire of cooking Sims, sheet music for Sims who love to play the guitar, and more.
The bookstore also sells more than just volumes for edifying the masses. Novels provide the means to unwind after a stressful day at work. Numerous genres are represented, from romance and drama. And kids also benefit from the supply of children’s books on hand.
Teenagers in school and Sims with pursuits that aren’t exactly compatible with a full-time job can also seek a part-time gig at Divisdero. For just a few hours a day, Sims can pull in some cash to keep the fridge stocked with food and books and the shelf.

Need to get some produce or meat for recipes or to use as bait when fishing? Then make a stop at the EverFresh Delights Supermarket. Here, Sims can shop for groceries and some housewares (like a rubber duckie). Commerce goes both ways at the grocery store, though. Sims who grow fruits and vegetables can sell these at EverFresh for profit. And Sims who like to put a hook in the water—after taking the fishing class here, of course—can also sell their haul to the shopkeeper for cash.
The EverFresh Delights Supermarket is another place Sims can go for a part-time job in the evenings after school. There are no full-time jobs available at this location.

Sims like to be pampered and no place in Sunset Valley powders ’em up better than the Sharma Day Spa. At this day spa, Sims can come in for a variety of personal treatments, from massage to manicures. Prices for these services range from §50 to §1,500, but you get what you pay for. The more expensive the service, the longer the effects last after the Sim leaves. Moodlets from the day spa include benefits like Smooth Skin and Completely At Ease. These moodlets can last for days, too, giving you real bang for your buck.
The day spa offers two different part-time jobs. Sims can grab a few hours a day behind the receptionist’s desk or slather healing mud on the well-to-do as a spa specialist. The pay isn’t spectacular, but the hours are perfect for Sims with other pursuits.
