My suggestions after 13 hours of play

[lethal timber]

I love this game, I am so happy that someone is taking the "shop sim" genre seriously right now. I have played so many of the new games that have come out in the last year and I finally feel like I have found The One to invest my time in!

I haven't looked at a lot of other suggestions, I wanted to give my uninfluenced ideas.

1. I would like for the bookmark table to be able to change colors like the shelves and checkout counter.

2. I would like to have hanging plants like the Pothos and Ivy

3. I would like to be able to change the color of the outside of my shop and maybe be able to change the style of the font or the sign itself

4. I would like more Horror (Stephen King especially), Thriller and Mystery books

5. The used books don't sell nearly as fast as I need them to in order to keep my rare book shelf stocked, I end up just throwing away dozens of boxes of them every time I play. My solution would be to allow for donations to libraries/schools? Maybe a donation bin in the front of the store.

6. I would like to be able to change the employee uniforms

7. I would love it if we could put up those carpet wall shelves that cats climb/jump/lounge on.

8. I would like a big fluffy Maine Coon cat

9. I would like more wall colors like the red with the wood bottom, and would also like to option to change the color of the window frames and doors

10. Since the litterbox doesn't ever look like its been used it would be nice if it was a covered litterbox that we could customize the color of. It could just make little "stink lines" when it needs to be changed.

11. I would like more cat toys and for all of the cat items to be color customizable. It would also be cool to have like a little cat treat station, maybe just at the register or that we could put on the wall where customers could purchase a treat to give to one of the cats

12. Have a small merch table where we could stock like mugs/keychains/shirts/tote bags etc. that have the faces of our current cats on them

That's all I could think of today, I really love this game and can't wait to see what you guys have in store for us with updates 😄

Thank you so much Introvertebrate (nice name lol) for your awesome suggestions!
and yes I know exactly what you mean with the difference between this sim and all those other ones out there, as soon as I played the demo way back when I could feel the difference and I havent left since!

The bookmark table .. Alex is thinking of a better way to display the bookmarks as the table is a little ugh at times lol.
Hanging plants oh yes! we have had this suggestion previously (by me lol) and its great to see others like it as well.
Changing the color of the outside of the shop has been talked about and suggested alot.
Another Stephen King fan! I like it lol.. more books will be added constantly over time.. there is a thread that you can add the titles you wish to see and a wonderful player is then transfering them to a spread sheet so its easier for Alex to see what people want.. please feel free to add your fav books to that thread https://discord.com/channels/1311401218274361485/1417449030765514798
The used books are being worked on but it is not intended to be able as a way to make lots of money. (just imagine your rubbish bin is a donation bin and it magically sorts books to go to a kids school in what ever place you are putting the books in there 🙂 )

the colors of things and more colors are going to be worked on after the cafe items and things are done ( that is my understanding)
i love the idea of a covered litter box
everyone loves the kitties ❤️ and we all need different color kitty stuffs lol

ooh nice idea on the merch stuff
I want a real life Blep Cat!!

but thank you so much for all the suggestions, keep them coming as the devs read all and work what they can put in the game.
Im so glad you find the game as good as I do after all those other sims out there and is great to have you on the discord with us!
😻 👍
