OK, I can finally sell items at the consignment store! Thanks for the tip Pam!

However, my reputation at the store is still excellent. How do I get an impressive reputation? Can I sell sculptures and inventions that my other household Sims made. Is this how to get an impressive reputation?

Thanks!

You're welcome.

Yes, you can sell those other items. Put them in your family inventory to be able to consign them. I don't work on the Consignment Store challenges that much, but if you just keep selling, your reputation should improve.

OK, now I am facing a new problem here which is definitely a bug! My Sim's reputation is now impressive (finally!) but under the consignment store reputation, the wordings which says "gain an impressive reputation for selling items at the consignment store" is not in bold!

Is anyone else facing this bug?

Yeah I think I've had that bug before. I don't know if there is a way to fix it though.

If resetsim doesn't work, and it most likely will not, make another sim and see if they can achieve it. If they can my first guess was probably right, and that challenge is broken for your sim.

OK, so I know that I am not the only one facing this problem. Is anyone else facing this problem and if so, is there a fix?

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)

Please don't use excessive punctuation or all capitals in a post. It won't get you an answer any faster and it makes the Forum look very messy.

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?

Can I ask you a question? When you completed the consignment store reputation as being impressive, was the sentence in bold? I am asking this because my Sim's consignment skill is impressive but the sentence is not in bold.

Why is this so?

Thanks!

Eventually the reputation will show in the challenge part. I use the consignment store frequently in my games.

One fix for the items not selling that works for me: Cancel all consignments then save and quit. When you reopen the game, sell some items. This has always worked for me. To prevent it from happening in the first place I always cancel consignments every 2-3 days no matter what.

well, in carl's guide says... "This is an important one. Consignment fees eat into your net profit, and achieving the necessary Impressive reputation will make the fee $0, even when selling a lot of items totaling near $100,000 Simoleons.", but says nothing about make impressive reputation and do not have the sentence in bold (win the challenge), i also have impressive and over than $100,000, the other users says maybe is a bug (like Photography skill Dropa Stone Set picture), am looking anyway if i can fix this challenge (have the sentence in bold)

My guess is that it will sort itself out before long. Things like this happen randomly. I've had Lifetime Wishes not show up as being filled and regular wishes not completing right away. It's usually just a glitch.

I am sorry but I don't quite understand you. When your consignment store reputation reaches impressive, is the wordings in bold or still being greyed out?

It should be bold, to say you achieved it. But I remember long ago someone saying this is a glitch and it will never bold itself like the other challenges. You just have to mentally bold it out because with that much money and an impressive reputation it should be bolded. I don't know if the glitch was ever fixed, you might just have to move on and know that you achieved it but its glitched.

Sometimes it is a glitch and doesn't get bold. Sometimes closing the game and restarting it makes the game realize it's complete and it fixes itself. I've had it a few times. But if it doesn't fix itself, I agree it's annoying knowing you have done it and not getting credit for it. Good luck, I hope you can get it fixed.

OK, is there any way to get this fixed? Does EA know about this problem?

I'm sure they do. Whether they fix it or not is another story, however.

Do you think this thread is enough like yours that I should merge them?

Edit: I think they are. I'm going to merge them and change the subject to "Consignment Store Issues".

Pam · « **Reply #44 on:** February 03, 2012, 05:26:40 AM »

There's another very similar thread to this one. I'm going to merge them and change the subject to "Consignment Store Issues".

Blanchflower · « **Reply #45 on:** February 03, 2012, 09:36:05 AM »

OK, I did it at last! Here is what I did:

When my Sim reached an impressive reputation, he could not sell anything for about 2 or 3 days. Then I cancelled the consignment, saved the game and exited to Windows. It is not enough to exit to the main menu by the way. I also reset my Sim as well.

Then I entered into the game and consigned the items. True enough at around 5:00PM, my Sim could sell his items. Not only that, the impressive wordings appeared as bold letters!

Thus, I have finally truly completed the consignment challenge! Now, I am trying to get 15 gigs for my Sim and hope to achieve that!

Hope this piece of information is helpful to you guys!
