Consignment Store Quartet — the Great 28!

Actually, Schip, at this point you don't need anyone's permission as the challenge doesn't start until tomorrow. Sorry to hear the foreign fish glitch hasn't been fixed yet.

[Schipperke]

Thanks for that reminder, Marian.  I have a feeling the fishing glitch is going to come up again in my game, though, so I'm glad I have an answer for when it does.

I'm definitely joining this one! . I thought I'd donate this simple worksheet (click below) to help out with the calculations. Just fill in your total for each day.

Thank you very much, Krrank. I will link that in the ruleset.

You made it Read Only. I tried submitting a random score, and couldn't edit it in.

Hi, you have to download a copy to your computer to use it. It isn't for online usage, since it is a private document I am sharing. Just go to File->Download As ->, and select the file type you want. It works just fine.

Edit: @ Metropolis Man, thank you for adding it to the challenge.

I appear to have a glitch where my Sims' stuff just doesn't sell at the consignment store anymore. Is it okay to go back to a previous save?

[MarianT]

Ha ha! I just noticed that, Seabody. Hope I don't get in trouble for going back to a previous save.

Different question -- I just noticed that the game doesn't subtract the consignment fees for you. Can we just ignore them in reporting our totals?

[Metropolis Man]

You answered Schip's question twice.

Oops. Lol. I'll clean things up.

Yes, the amounts you report are the ones in the top right info panel.

I wasn't sure whether I should post this here in this thread or start a new thread elsewhere.  I've just tried to continue with this challenge after taking a break of a week or so.  I have two saved games, one I use for travel and the other one.  Neither one would open.  Also at the main menu, the household Sims don't show up.  When I went to the Documents to check on whether I had somehow gotten a bad file, I was surprised to find 4 files under each name instead of the main file and the backup file that I had expected.  The files for the main game are (in the order they appear) ConsignmentChallenge.sims3, ConsignmentChallenge.sims3(612).backup, ConsignmentChallenge.sims3.backup, and ConsignmentChallenge(611).sims3.  The travel game files are ConsignmentTravel.sims3, ConsignmentTravel.sims3(614).backup, ConsignmentTravel.sims3.backup, and ConsignmentTravel(613).sims3.

None of my other saved games look like this and I don't know what to make of it.  I've never seen game files with numbers like that.  Does anyone know why this would have happened?  Is there anything I can do to salvage my game?

Someone brought a possible exploit to my attention with the vacation rule, so I reworded it:

• Each of your starting four Sims is allowed to take one vacation — length is up to you.
