Consignment Store Quartet — the Great 28!

[cndneh]

• Beginning Week 9 only one type of item may be sold at the consignment store in each of the remaining weeks — for example, paintings in week 9, inventions week 10, photos week 11, and fish for your final week 12.
• At the start of week 9 you are allowed to sell a maximum of 4 items per day at the consignment store, or 28 items in a given week.

after week 9 - each Sim may only sell (example) paintings, so all 4 will have to sell them in that given week, or Sim 1 can only sell paintings but Sim 2 can only sell inventions etc?

After week 9 - each Sim may sell 4 items so 28 items per Sim per week?  or 28 items total so 1 item per Sim per day?

Sounds like a great challenge!

One item type sold per week. Period.

After week 9 - each Sim may sell 4 items so 28 items per Sim per week?  or 28 items total so 1 item per Sim per day?

The rules do not say each Sim may sell 4 items per day. You added that. At the start of week 9 you can only sell 4 items per day. Total.

I was just clarifying that the rules were per household and not per Sim.  Thanks!

Each Sim is limited to 28 items sold per week

Based on the clarifications in the thread here... shouldn't this read Each Sim is limited to 7 items sold per week ?? forgive me if I'm just being dense, it looks like a fun one that I want to try...

This is how I interpret this rule. Correct me if I am wrong.

Weeks 1 to 8: any sim can sell any object on any day at the consignment store.

Week 9:
Sim 1 may sell 4 items on Sunday, 4 items on Monday, 4 items on Tuesday, and so on. Sim 1 may sell a total of 28 items in week 9, and all must be the same type.

Week 10:
Sim 2 may sell 4 items on Sunday, 4 items on Monday, 4 items on Tuesday, and so on. Sim 2 may sell a total of 28 items in week 10, and all must be the same type.

Week 11:
Sim 3 may sell a total of 28 of the same type of item, as above.

Week 12:
Sim 4 may sell a total of 28 of the same type of item, as above.

Do we need to cancel any of the 4 items if they are unsold after the day they were put up for consignment?

No. But, if one item remains unsold then the following day you would only be able to list 3 new ones.

I interpret this to mean that Sim 1 may put 4 items up for sale on Sunday of Week 9. Three of them sell, one does not. Option A: Remove the unsold item from the consignment store, and put 4 new items (or three new and the unsold one) up for sale on Monday. Option B: Leave the unsold item at the consignment store, and put 3 new items up for sale on Monday.

Okay, maybe there is some misunderstanding here. There's nothing in the rules that states that at the beginning of week 9 only one Sim is allowed to sell for that week. The hard and fast rule is that you can only sell one item type and only 28 items in a week. It does not matter who sells. So you could have one seller or all four could sell. Your choice.

[brennan068]

So it is the household that is limited to 28 items per week for weeks 9 - 12, not each Sim.... gotcha

Right. Usually when I say "you" in a ruleset that means the whole household given that's what you have total access to. Otherwise I would specifically state what a certain Sim could do.

[brennan068]

I think the confusion is the wording on the 28 items.  You do specify each Sim (not household) on that.  At least that's where my confusion on this rule was.

Oooohh...lol. At the  beginning in the intro. My bad. I was pulling my hair out looking at the rules trying to find where the confusion is. Okay, my bad. I'll edit that.

What a great idea for a Challenge!  I may have to dust off my laggy Sims game and try this one.

I've read through the thread a couple of times and maybe I'm missing something, but do the items sold have to be different each week?

The rule states: 

Beginning Week 9 only one type of item may be sold at the consignment store in each of the remaining weeks — for example, paintings in week 9, inventions week 10, photos week 11, and fish for your final week 12.

Could a person decide to, for example, just sell fish every week instead of 4 different types of items?

Good question, Schip. The rules are a little unclear on that. My intent was for the items to be different for each of the last 4 weeks, so I will clarify and edit.

--------

EDIT: And here we go with the addition...

• Any item of a given type sold during one of the last 4 weeks may not be sold/repeated in another of the last four weeks (i.e. fish could be sold in week 9, but not in weeks 10 or later).

Seems like I could have worded it better, but hopefully everyone gets it.

Thanks for the clarification!

Well, I've just run into my first travel glitch of this game.  My fisherman has gone travelling, and when he arrived at his destination all the fish in his inventory were gone.  That's a lot of work down the drain.  Would it be ok to go back to the previous save?

No problem, Schip.
