why are there no option to build signs for your shops?

[The Muppet Slayer]

I've been playing this game for quite along time and thought why aren't there any shop signs that you could place on your buildings to add an extra whoa factor to your shops in your base. The whole shop option is really cool and helpful to earn extra cats but it feels like some thing is missing that adds some decorative feeling that can be added to your world for roleplay

I don't know if this is still having issues or not, but at least someone attempted it:

There may be other mods on Steam, Nexusmods or somewhere else that successfully add "signs."

Player-run "Merchants" really isn't heavily supported in Kenshi. It would certainly be nice to have, but even if so, it's not a deep economic mechanic or really much more than just a money-exchange that's there for roleplaying.
