SEASON 3 - TWINBROOK
Consigning Annoyances
Okay, after resetting everything I felt elated! I had an actual clerk in the consignment store AND 2 of her time machines sold for well over double their original price. Then everything went downhill. Clerks no longer showing up. Items being "eaten" without getting any money, dropping in value, and not being able to cancel them because there is no clerk. Resetting everything, resetting the lot, resetting all sims, nothing worked. So I got frustrated and closed without saving. I have no clue how many time machines I lost but I have a plan! I am going to put a regular consignment register in the Elixir Consignment store that is across the street from Amber's house. I remember having read somewhere that someone else used that as a workaround, and as that store seems to work most of the time I'm opting for it. Is it cheaty? Probably! But I'm tired of waiting for nothing!
Blog
Also today, I discovered that the newest version of GIMP no longer supports the filters I used for my banners. Yes you can download them somewhere, and then stick them in a folder, and technically you should be able to use them. But they don't give nearly the same result, and it just looks plain ugly. So I spent half the day trying to cook up new banners for this topic. I think they turned out OK enough to my liking! I also edited all blog posts (the posts that aren't a reply to awesome people reacting to this blog) with a header of the season they were written in. All in all, except for the huge white spaces, the blog is more readable now!
