The Golden Ticket Toy Shop

Designer Alan Copeland has really outdone himself with Midnight Hollow! In this in-depth review of The Golden Ticket Toy Shop Venue, available exclusively in The Sims 3 Midnight Hollow Gold Edition, you'll find out exactly what makes this a one-of-a-kind venue! 

One of my favourite things about Midnight Hollow is its uniqueness. I love all of the wildly diverse stories you can tell around this town and The Golden Ticket Toy Shop venue, available exclusively with the Gold version of Midnight Hollow, adds a whole new dimension to that storytelling experience.  



This fun new shop comes with the Savvy Seller’s Collection that comes with Midnight Hollow, but also a ton of new items. While there is an old section of the store that shows a time when all of the toys were hand crafted, the upstairs shows how these items are made presently — The Titanic Toy Machine!




With over a dozen different toys that it can make, The Titanic Toy Machine has something for all ages!   

 
Some of the items include the new baby mat!



Everyone enjoys flying a kite!  But make sure you don’t get struck by lightning!


If your toddler moves to the beat of a different drum, then get them beating that drum as early as possible. Help your little virtuoso get an early start with the new toy drum. 


The new Clown in the Box can be a bit moody. Turn the crank to find out if he will be happy or sad.


We also have the return of Sir-Bricks-A-Lot along with a variety of other new toddler toys like the toy train.


And what kid doesn’t want remote controlled cars and robots?!


There are a lot more little items that come with The Titanic Toy Machine, including cute little things to decorate with, like these fun toy animal balloons.





This is easily the most Premium Content that we’ve ever put into one venue, so make sure you’re ready on September 26, 2013 to get the gold version of Midnight Hollow and The Golden Ticket Toy Shop!

Savvy Seller's Collection Blog

One of the most iconic things about watching the Harry Potter movies was watching Diagon Alley come to life.  I loved that this group of relatable misfits had all found a common ground amongst the hustle and bustle of this small marketplace.

When we were first talking about what Premium Content would come with Midnight Hollow I wanted to capture the vibe of this group of nonconformists coming together to peddle their wears and oddities. 

 


Since we’ve had countless requests for the Sims 3 Store to offer additional business gameplay, I couldn’t be happier to be introducing you to the Savvy Seller’s Collection coming exclusively with Midnight Hollow!



With this set your Sim can establish their own shop!  The Savvy Seller’s Collection comes with a variety of rugs, shelves, pedestals and even parking spots that let you stock your Sims storefront any way you wish.  Customers can purchase any item that are placed on these items, or the new Cash Register will keep an inventory of all the items you have for sale for easy, one stop shopping. 



You can set up the markup on each shop display or set up a sale for items you want to sell quickly.  You can also hire an employee to help run the register. 

The Savvy Seller’s Collection also comes with a new shop door that lets you name your store and set the hours. 

If you don’t want the hassle of having your Sim own a Store there are a plethora of different stores to shop at in Midnight Hollow so you can just go around and browse what others have for sale. 

Midnight Hollow comes out September 27th, so make sure your Sims are ready to get to business as soon as it comes out!
