Display rack

Display racks are a type of object found on community lots that stock items for sale. They may stock and sell a variety of goods, including groceries, souvenirs, clothing, and magazines, among others. Display racks are combined with cash registers to make shops that Sims can make purchases from.

Display racks were first introduced in The Sims: Hot Date, and each successive expansion after introduced a new display rack selling different goods. The Sims 2: Open for Business introduced empty display racks that could be used in owned businesses to sell a large variety of different objects. Players can choose which item to purchase by clicking on the display rack, after which the selected Sim will attain the object and then pay for it at the nearest cash register. Display racks will never run out of stock on unowned lots, but an employee will eventually need to restock display racks in an owned business.

Sims may autonomously browse display racks without buying anything, although the player does not have an option to direct Sims to do this. Townies and Sims from other households may browse display racks but will not buy anything from them, unless they are visiting an owned business.

The Sims 2
In The Sims 2, prior to the releases of expansion packs, these consist of:
 * Commercial freezer bin, display freezers and produce bins.
 * Clothing racks.
 * Magazine rack
 * Video game racks (in two sizes).

The Sims: 2 Nightlife expansion pack introduced a "Compulsion" Fragrance Display rank which is where sims can purchase the perfume from. With the introduction of Pets, two new pet displays were implemented, each representing a dog or a cat respectively. The expansion pack also offers a pet collar rack. Carried forward in later packs post Bon voyage, the jewelry accessories are sold with SparkleMaster Jewelry Rack. Freetime brought a new, but similar to the Entreprice Office Freestanding Game Rack, a "Endeavor Office Freeestanding Game Rack".
