Consignment Store Issues

[doblea2]

Hi. I have a trouble in this skill and I don't know how to fix it. I had completed "Consignment Store Reputation" and "Consignment Store Sales" but I can't complete "Consignment Store Profit". I have already Impressive reputation but this challenge is still close. Can somebody help me please?

I believe you have to sell a lot of goods at the consignment store before you get this... I don't know if there is a specific price, but I believe over 25,000 Simoleons.

Yep, Cndneh is right! Here's a link to Carl's guide on the Consignment Store

i read the guide before add this post.... i had sale $100,000.00 and my challenge is still close.... i dont know what to do

All I can add is, just keep selling. You will get it. Also, the LTR Suave Seller helps you sell for more money so it can definitely help! Good luck!

Thanks.

Because you have so much more money earned than required for this challenge, I am going to guess it is bugged for that sim, and no matter how much you earn you're not going to earn that challege. Is there a specific reason you want to complete it?

i have 1 sim with almost all the challenges unblock (in every skill), that's the reason

You could try using resetsim on your sim.

1st- what??? how? is that possible??? and 2nd- NO WAY, I WOULD HAVE TO LOSE EVERY CHALLENGE I COMPLETED (i guess if i reset the sim the challenges unblock i lose them, and the skills go to 0 or lvl 1)

Reseting a sim is easy. First, you open the cheat console by hitting control+shift+C than you type in testingcheatsenabled true than hit enter. Than open it again by control+shift+C than type in resetSim Firstname Lastname. So to reset Cornelia, I would type in resetSim Cornelia Goth. It is case sensitive, so be sure to spell the name right. What this does is resets them back to a neutral position, with their needs met. So say Cornelia is stuck somewhere, or has something like a guitar stuck to her head, (it does happen lol) that would save her. It's mainly for whenever a sim is stuck somewhere or with something stuck on them. I'm not sure if it would work with this as it sounds like a glitch more than a sim stuck but you could try. It doesn't reset their challenges, skills or anything like that. It simply returns them normally to their home lot with the needs at least halfway met.

OK, I hope someone can help me here. I am playing in Appaloosa Plains and I managed to sell 147 items in the consignment store. My current reputation is thus excellent and made over $25,000 in profit. My current Sim day is week 5 day 2.

But lately, I noticed that I cannot sell a single item in the consignment store! I tried cancelling the items and reselling them again but it still would not work! To make matters worse, the items on sale still shows 5 days left even if consign the items there for more or less than 5 days. Moreover, I am not receiving back any items that I fail to sell. The items simply "disappear" unless I choose to cancel the sale. Then only can I see the items which I had consigned many days prior.

How do I solve this issue? I have to sell 150 items plus gain an impressive reputation at the consignment store as I am trying to crate a perfect Sim whereby all his skills are at the maximum level. This bug is ruining my challenge!

Please offer advise! Thanks!

Try canceling consignments.

You could try going to another family in your game.  The bad thing is I think you would lose everything you had done but the glitch would be gone.  There was another post about something close to this.

There seems to be a glitch that cause what happened to you.  Actually, I had it where I couldn't sale things at the store anymore.


See if anything from this topic can help.

Thanks for the tip but I tried cancelling the items already and the problem persisted. What if I load my family into the bin in edit town and then start a new game? Will this work. Of course the relationships would be gone.

OK, if I go into another family, what would I lose? Can you please elaborate. Also can I save my family into the library and start all over again, losing only the relationships?

[Sportsfan]

You could delete the register than put a new one out.

To be on the safe side, make a copy of this game by Saving As and using a different file name.  That way, no matter if you lose anything by saving to the bin, you'll still have a copy of your game up to this point.

Can you tell us more detail about what is happening?  You said you tried cancelling the consignments, so does that mean that you were actually able to cancel them?  Or are you getting no action at all when you click on the register?  And are you able to still actually consign items?  I mean the window comes up and you can select the items you wish to consign?  Can you purchase anything?

Thanks for the reply. I can cancel the items on my consignment as well as purchase them. The problem is, when I consigned the items I purchased, no items were able to be sold. Moreover, when I consign items, the clerk tells me that the customers are tired of my items and told me to consign new types of items. The items I consigned so far and was able to sell them were paintings, books and wine bottles. I am able to consign them, but not able to sell them after awile.

I could sell the items at first and the total items I sold was 147. But after several Sim weeks, I was not able to sell a single item, even though I consigned the. I am able to cancel the consign items and put them for sale again but I still cannot sell them. I am so close in getting an impressive reputation as well as selling 150 items. But as things stand, my reputation is excellent and I sold 147 items.

What can I do now?

Ok, I see!  Try buying some produce and fish at the grocery store and consigning that (or sell what you grow and catch).  It just wants you to try selling different things or maybe take a break from selling.

OK, thanks for the tip! I will try that and report my findings!
