Consignment Store Quartet — the Great 28!

[rubywyld]

I really wanted to do every single challenge this year but I just finished my 3rd try at this one.  I have an odd glitch with the consignment shop.  My sims start to interact with the cashier and then the interaction is cancelled and the sim is ported to another area of the store.  I've tried this with both game made stores and one of my own.  I've tried two sets of sims, and three different towns... moving lots you name it but I still get the glitch.

No brilliant strategy on this one

This challenge sounds really interesting! Luckily I just got Ambitions, but unfortunately I don't have WA. What's a challenge without a challenge?

I'm finally finished! I thought I was going to do better than I did, but it was still a fun challenge!

I'm going to sound like a total dork, but I just found out about these challenges today. How do I enter my scores once I'm through with the challenge?
I already looked at the General Rules page and didn't see anything about it.

Welcome to the forum hannatotherescue. When you complete the challenge, just make a post on this thread with your score.. that easy

I seem to have run into the consignment store bug where the action to 'buy' just cancels out.  It's been two sim days and the store just isn't working.  Is there anything I can do to try to fix this (like replacing the store) or am I just out?

No, you're not out. Try replacing the store. I believe others have tried replacing the register with success. Whatever cheats are necessary to get your problem fixed, you have my permission. If you still strike out, then you can restart with a fresh file. Good luck.

Thank you!

I had fun doing this but unfortunately I messed up on the start of the last week and accidently left an item from the previous week on sale, but I finished that final week for my own amusement anyway. My score wasn't particularly noteworthy in any case. Ambitions is very new to me so this was a great learning experience and I may one day try again just for fun and see if I can do better with what I learnt this time.

Another challenge I was looking forward to, but my computer had to go back in for repair and I won't get it back till Monday next week so not sure if I will have enough time to complete the challenge or if my computer will stay health enough for me to complete it lol!!

I think I might be in the same boat I'm on my last ditch effort to get it to work in this file. If it doesn't work, does 'cheating' include saving the family to bin and starting with them again in a fresh town? Will I lose any completed challenges that way? Or is it better to start over? I'd really hate to have to start over, as I just got past the fiddly bit I have an inkling that I read somewhere it will affect the value of items that appreciate because it goes on the game days...

EDIT: The final combination of resetsim, replacing the consignment store, a game restart, and changing my selling sim finally worked.

Sadly life has gotten in the way of this one, it's very unlikely that I'll be able to finish. I may carry on anyway, because I think I could get close to 2,000,000, but not before the challenge closes.
Revision, exams, and work commitments got in the way again!
Well done to all who have posted scores, I'm looking forward to seeing how you did it!
