Back to topHow To Start Yard Selling in The Sims 4?
Starting a Yard Sale is an easy process that you can do if you have any of the City Living, Eco Lifestyle, and Jungle Adventure packs. If this is your first time hearing about The Sims 4 Yard Sales, you can religiously follow the steps below to learn more.
Arrange the Special Yard Sale Table
Before you dive deep into the Yard Sale, you must have the special yard sale table. As the name indicates, the table is where you will put all of your stuff for sale.
Note: You must have either of the said three The Sims 4 expansion packs to purchase the table.
If you have any of the three packs, head towards the Activity and Skills menu. Upon reaching there, you can choose your sale table and drag it into the lot. For example, consider the 'Come and Get it Street Store Table' of The Sims 4 City Living. The table will cost around 400 Simoleons, so you can purchase it if you are ready to spend.
If you discover the table religiously, you will find it having its separate Inventory. Clicking the ‘View Inventory’ option will let you notice the items you wish to sell.
Whatever you want to sell in the Yard Sale, you can drag and drop them in the table's Inventory. Unfortunately, the yard sale table isn't available in The Sims 4 base game, so it is required to have the said expansion packs to get it.
Finalize Items' Costs
Once you have all the items in the Inventory, you can put them on the table. You can do so by clicking on the table and choosing the 'Stock Table' interaction. As soon as you select the option, all the items within the table's Inventory will be placed on the table.
To set up the items' price, click the 'Mark Up Prices…' option. Finally, the yard sale can be initiated by clicking the 'Start Yard Sale' button.

What are the Perks of The Sims 4 Yard Sales?
Yard Sales are a vital mechanism in The Sims 4 that will help you increase your profit greatly. In the sale, you can mark up everything up to 300%. Selling items in the yard sale is even more profitable than running a retail lot. Here are some benefits you will get for running a successful yard sale.
A. Make More Simoleons
By Selling Orchids Floral Arrangements
You can profit massively from selling floral arrangements in the yard sale. According to many The Sims 4 players, selling orchid banquets has benefited them with 20K Simoleons.
Tip: Sell Pink Orchids for even more earnings through the yard sale.
Every Pink Orchids arrangement will grant you around 30K Simoleons if you have the Marketable Reward Trait. Overall, selling orchids with the 300% markup is one of the most preferred and profitable ways to get richer.
Preparing these arrangements will cost around 800 Simoleons. Additionally, you can make above 20K by upgrading the Flower Arranging Skill from a single bouquet.
By Selling Fizz Juice
Fizz Juice can be a good option for selling at the yard sale. But, before you sell it, you must refrigerate it as it gets spoiled easily within a short time. You must be extremely cautious about selling them as customers will not visit you again if you give them spoiled drinks.
Preparing the fizz juice can be only possible if you have the Eco Lifestyle expansion pack. Practicing the fizz-making skill will help you to level up the skill. Leveling up the skill will unlock many new juice-preparing skills. Interestingly, the Sims 4 has more than 30 fizzy juice flavors.
B. Sell Paintings and Cottage Living Fruits and Veggies
During the yard sales, you can sell paintings by purchasing The Street Gallery objects. If your Sim has a farm, you can trade your fruits and vegetables for the Cottage Living expansion pack on the yard sale.
C. Slows Down the Food Spoiling Process
The yard’s Inventory acts as a refrigerator, helping you to slow down the spoiling process of items, especially the foods. However, it will only reduce the spoiling process, not completely stop it.
Back to topWhat To Do When Hosting a Yard Sale?
While you are hosting a yard sale, you must lock your doors. Locking the doors will keep your items safe from the NPCs and Townies. Unfortunately, if the Sim has the Kleptomaniac Trait, it will cause the items from your Inventory to disappear.
Stealing objects will be done after the Sim has used the “Attempt to swipe” interaction. All paparazzi of The Sims 4: Get Famous possess the Kleptomaniac Trait, making them disappear from things they notice.
Additionally, stealing can also be encouraged if the Sim has the Paranormal Stuff and Eco Lifestyle Pack. The Paranormal Stuff pack allows ghosts to steal items, while the Sharing is Caring Neighborhood Action Plan of the Eco Lifestyle Pack allows stealing without asking any questions from anyone.
Back to topIs it Possible to Run Two Yard Sales Tables?
Running a Yard Sale Table is a fun process, requiring you to follow the above steps. However, if you want more profits, you can run two tables, where you have to arrange another Sim for its management.
Having two tables and Sims requires each Sim to use the Tend Table interaction and start up the yard sale as explained earlier. Once your stall is live, many Sims will visit and purchase stuff from the tend tables.
