SEASON 3 - TWINBROOK

18 Times A Machine

Well, I've made 'some' progress.... I tried to make the most money from Amber's inventions by consigning them, but somehow nobody bought anything. I'm not sure if that is a glitch or people just don't want a lot of the same, but I decided to cancel all consignments and sell them out of hand! That also means that she has to make a lot more items then I hoped to be necessary. She is now a level 9 inventor, and needs to earn another 37k before she gets to level 10. If she makes a Masterfull Time Machine that sells for a bit over 2k, so that means that I have to sell approximately 18 more time machines before getting to that top level.

At this point I don't think I will be going for the hidden second level like I did with the painting job, because the thought of making 18 time machines is boring enough, let alone how many I will probably need for that 11th level! And then there is the sculptor job, which I really don't know how long that will take! So I am not going to make it a must for myself to get to the hidden levels of careers if they have been dragging for so long already, the goal in Llandros' list says top, and top is 10. Unless I feel like it, that is.

Some More Details

As noticed in the post above this one, I had some trouble getting the game to run after upgrading to w10. I have it where it is stable enough to play now, only the main menu is still looking like a bucket of scraps. But if I unfocus the game I can see just enough to know where to click to get the save loading and from there it works good enough! The only thing I have not been able to fix is the issues with sound, but I guess I will just have to make due!

Bad Nerd?

Okay and then there is this thing of becoming a level 10 nerd. I had practically no issues to rise to a level 10 rebel and keep that up, but the nerd social group is as elusive as an eel in a bucket of slime so far.... Anyone that has some tips on how to get that high, and keep that high, that would be MOST helpful!
