130 New Small Business Logos  

Tired of the same generic signage? Time to rebrand, baby.

This mod drops a *whole* collection of 130 sleek, stylish business logos straight into your game. Whether you’re running a boho juice bar or a high-end tattoo parlour, now you can actually make it look the part. Minimalist? Retro? Eclectic? There’s something for every vibe.

Higher Business Activity Limit

Because five activities just aren’t enough for a true multitasking mogul.  

This mod bumps your business activity cap from 5 to 8, so you can finally run that chaotic combo: café + yoga studio + art gallery all under one roof. Go big or go home, right?

Komorebi-Inspired Customer Activities

Bring that serene, spa-like Mt. Komorebi energy into your business.

Add immersive, culturally inspired customer interactions straight out of the snowy mountain retreat. Think tea ceremonies, meditation circles, and other chill vibes. Perfect for spas, wellness centres, or that one Sim who insists on selling incense with every purchase.

Tend Activity Expanded  

Stalls that actually get manned? Groundbreaking.  

This genius little mod lets Sims on the lot take over vendor stalls, which means no more awkward empty booths or you awkwardly micromanaging everything.

Choose Painting Style (Easel Picker Mod) 

Artists, rejoice: no more rolling the creative dice.

Ever wanted to paint something specific instead of hoping for the best? This mod adds a picker to the easel so you can finally choose which painting your Sim creates—a total game-changer for art studios or freelance painters trying to match their decor.

Ring Alarm with Notification  

Because blinking and missing the alarm sound is SO last patch.

This mod gives you a visual heads-up when the alarm is turned on or off—perfect for players who multitask or forget what they were doing 20 seconds ago (guilty). It’s a small touch but adds a massive slice of realism.

Beauty Salon & Makeover Mod (Mini-Mod v2.2)

Style, sass, and Simoleons—yes please.

Open a beauty salon where your Sim can actually earn money giving makeovers, haircuts, and glam sessions. Think Queer Eye: Sim Edition. Bonus points if you create a runway for dramatic reveals.

Club & Business Activity Expanded  

216 new activities = a whole lotta options.  

Whether your business needs a social club or just more tailored actions, this mod lets you add hyper-specific activities for both customers and employees. Host a painting class or have your employees run yoga sessions—it’s like a sandbox of productivity.

Tattoo Paint Mode Mask Remover

Fix the dreaded tattoo stencilling nightmare.

Say goodbye to the weird blue/green mask when applying tattoos in paint mode. This mod strips it away so your ink designs are crisp, clean, and banding-free. Tattoo artists, you’re welcome.

More Selectable Icons for Clubs & Brands 

Logos, but make it aesthetic.  

This mod adds over 1,500 new icons for clubs, small businesses, holidays, and even SimTuber avatars. If you’re deep into branding, this is your dream come true.

Small Business Do Not Close 

Your 24/7 doughnut shop just got real.  

This mod removes the annoying restriction that forces businesses to close after 23 hours. Now, if you want to run a 24-hour bakery, tattoo parlour, or dance club, go right ahead. Who needs sleep anyway?

Functional Compact Payment Terminal 

The cute little checkout upgrade you didn’t know you needed. 

This sleek replacement for the clunky default kiosk is perfect for modern cafés, boutiques, or tech-savvy pop-up shops. It’s minimalist, functional, and totally in-vibe.

And there you have it—12 The Sims 4 Businesses and Hobbies mods that’ll take your small business from bare-bones to boss-level. Whether you’re going for cosy-cottagecore vibes or running a sleek city-style spa, these mods give you the tools to build your dream business with depth, flair, and a whole lot of fun. 

Now go out there and make those Simoleons rain.
