Furniture from Junk Yard

[Pam]

Thanks for the screenshot, Maritah. Seems I was confused.

I have accumulated a ton of stuff from salvaging at the Junk Yard.  I was bunching it up in the yard for the Simbots to destroy when I noticed that my bookshelves looked full.  Sure enough, over 8k worth of books in one alone...

One man's junk is another man's treasure, indeed!

I'm having some trouble getting the repairman to fix the salvage stuff from the junk yard.  A little while ago, I just put it in the yard and he would fix all of it.  Now I'm in Sunset Valley and Tuesday Sears doesn't want to fix it.  She stands at my front door making frustration noises.  I moved one piece into the house and that got her to fix everything last time, but now she won't fix it at all.  I've tried putting it inside and outside, but all she does is stand at the door grunting.  Anyone have any ideas?

Pam, she stands at my mailbox for several Sim hours, depending on the amount of items I have for her to work on.  I generally go do something else while she is there and then I get charged the $50, she leaves and everything is good as new.

Does she grunt and sigh in frustration while she's standing there?

Edit:  Ok, never mind.  She stayed many hours at the door, charged me $50 and left, then all the stuff was repaired!  I just have to be patient and let her stand there.

I'm sorry for resurrecting an old thread but I've tried to get the repair man to repair my furniture 5 times now. It hasn't worked, and then I noticed in another thread that salvaged furniture is now useless. So, should the repair man still be able to fix my furniture or not?

[wildredchild]

Since Late Night/patch the repairman does not repair salvaged furniture.  No one definitively can explain is it is now a glitch that they don't or that it was a glitch that they did.  Take your pick.

Ok, so let me get this straight.  Now we salvage at the junkyard and have to pay full price to replace it. So what is the point now of a junkyard?  Does not compute or am I missing something here?

[Schipperke]

If you have an inventor, it gives them stuff to detonate.  Maybe the junk yard was only ever intended to be useful for inventors.

[Saltypaws]

You are probably right, seeing how there are scrap piles there.  Just makes you wonder, like wildredchild said, was it a glitch before or now, lol.

Has anyone with a handy sim tried to repair salvaged stuff with Late Night? Maybe if the repairman won't fix it, a handy sim might now be able to.  Just a thought

My handy sim cannot fix salvaged items.

Sorry to dig up this thread but I was wondering if there is a FIX now for the "not being able to repair salvaged items"?

I have tried having the repairman come 4-5 times and nothing that was salvaged has been fixed. So I am thinking that the "bug" is still there - BUT maybe there is a mod?

Thanks!

The Forum doesn't do Mods due to the fact that they can cause serious problems. Take a look at the Rules for the Forum. As far as I know it is still the same, we don't know if EA changed it or it is infact a Bug.

Samo - I am so sorry about the mod comment! I actually meant a FIX or if this non-repairable salvaged thing was still a problem or if it had been fixed.

I remember salvaging items and then calling the repairman and all was fixed. I can't seem to get this to work now. Ambitions has been out long enough that I hoped something would fix this.

I used the wrong term =mod instead of fix - again sorry!
