To build the some of the stores you need to repair things like the restaurant. To build more of the stores you need to unlock the ability to build them by doing the modeling hobby.

Thanks for the info! How long will we have to complete the quest?

[mockingbird288z]

7 days to complete the quest - after that it's just repair and build. Certain parts of the mall can't even be accessed for 9 more days (Mall Area 3), 16 days (Mall Area 4), and 23 days (Mall Area 5).

In the Costume store the only outfits that are available are the Halloween ones. I don't even have the bunny suit I've paid for. Hopefully the rest of the outfits come back once the whole mall is built. Never mind! Found them in the wardrobe! LOL

Going to the Salon and the Costume store bring you to the same menu as the mall directory. And it looks like once you purchase something you purchase it for all sims!

Oh very cool! Thank you

Ohhhh on my cat show hobby I could have sworn when I checked it earlier it was at 40% at level 5, it is now at 51% after the update!! And also that glitchy thing where you couldn't see how far they were unless they weren't doing their hobby is gone.
