Overview of Store

The thrift and bubble tea store’s main three sections are the shopping area with the clothing racks, the bubble tea and food ordering area, and the sitting area. There are also two changing rooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen.

Hint: When building your own thrift store, the lot type requires 4 retail racks, 1 retail counter, 2 dining tables, 4 dining chairs, 1 coffee table, 1 sofa, 1 bubble tea counter, 1 microphone, 1 wall speaker, 1 waste disposal, 1 toilet, and 1 sink.

Thrift Store Owner

The owner of the ThrifTea is named Eloise Hiddlestix. You will find her hanging around the store. She is helpful when researching fashion trends. You can “Talk about Fashion Looks” and “Talk about Fashion Trends” with Eloise. “Talking about Fashion Looks,” tells you more about creating looks and “Talk about Fashion Trends” will give you inside information on the current fashion trends.

Buying Thrifted Clothes and Accessories

At ThrifTea, you can create Fashion Looks. The clothing you can choose from rotates every day. There are clothing from the regular CAS selection, rare and exclusive clothing, and a DPOP collection. Five sellers designed the DPOP collection: @internetgirl@happyxloco@selenasshop, @judaku, and @furrylittlepeach.

After creating a look, your sim receives a bag in their inventory and they can wear it or sell it on Trendi.

Wondering how the game calculates the cost of each outfit? The cost of an outfit can be calculated this way: Base Cost + Rarity + Style

Example: Base Cost (§5) + Rare (§20) + Hipster (§20) = Total Cost of §45
Note: A few items are tagged with more than one style. If that is the case, they seem to use the larger amount.

Base Cost: §5

Rarity
Common: §10
Rare: §20
Very Rare: §40
Exclusive: §70
Exclusive DPOP: §90

Style
Street: §10

Bohemian: §20
Country: §20
Hipster: §20
General Outdoor Explorer: §20
General Preppy: §30

ThrifTea is the perfect place for a teen Sim to hang out. There are so many different events and activities for them to participate in. They can have club meetings at ThrfTea or just hang out after school and do homework. Thrift Store and Bubble Tea Store might have seemed like a weird combination at first, but it is a useful and fun addition to the game!
