Is it possoble to make a shop in the IC that you can buy and run

you choose what to sell and so on so forth but you have to hire npcs

and you collect the profit which is large at the end of the week

There are a number of things preventing this sort of thing being done in the scale that you would want. To put it simply, between the limitations about what can easily be done with the AI (IE not having to make dozens of specially designed NPCs, each specially scripted using OBSE functions), and the practicallity of such a shop, there isn't reason enough to put something like that in as a stand alone element. Most NPCs don't carry enough money, and very few have use for anything beyond food. The closest you could get would be something like the meadhall from morrowind, where you get a paid weekly based on what choices were made durring that week. Furthermore, once you get into the high levels, you usually have more gold than you know what to do with, so such a shop wouldn't really be useful past the first few moments of "oh cool, I get to tell an NPC how to run a shop". It's not impossible, just not practical.

I agree with Vagrant that running a shop in Tamriel would be pointless as by the time you have made it halfway through the main quest you have so much gold you can't find enough to spend it all on. And the NPCs don't have enough to buy anything. Plus, the mod maker would have to script every customer. Each NPC that you want to buy something would have to have a special script added.

 

Now that is out of the way, There is already a mod that allows you to run a shop. Get it here. http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=9310
