Elixir store stopped selling my consigned items?

Hello! Playing 64bit on mac with no mods and no cc. Been selling my elixirs at Aleister's Elixirs and Sundries for a long time - now suddenly I have no more notices saying my stuff has sold. I think this coincided with me starting to consign gems including tiberium at the store... This has gone on for days. No more income from the store? The items are still there and I can even consign new ones but I get no money from them, though I think they have been sold.... Please help!

  • e65f11bd21373f25  The Elixir and Consignment stores break sometimes, especially (but not exclusively) when items aren't sold in the five-day window.  The only modless solution I can suggest is to bulldoze and replace the store.  Cancel any current consignments you have first.  I wouldn't save this particular lot, just in case it's broken in some way; instead, grab a copy from a new save.

    Before replacing the lot, quit to desktop and delete the five cache files in your Sims 3 user folder:

    • CASPartCache.package
    • compositorCache.package
    • scriptCache.package
    • simCompositorCache.package
    • socialCache.package


    Reload the game and play for a few sim-days, quit/delete cache files/reload again, and place a fresh copy of the store.

    If you want to try out a mod, NRaas Consigner fixes some issues with both stores.  It and all other NRaas mods are fully compatible with the Mac version of the game.  Feel free to ask more questions if you're considering adding mods.

  • Actually no, the items are sold, I'm just not getting paid for them... And no daily notice saying they have been sold.

    Oh, I'm so grateful for your reply! This has been driving me nuts. Thank you! I'm gonna try this out. Although I don't understand how to cancel my consignments? I looked several times and haven't seen any option for this, feeling really dumb about it. Could this be a glitch as well? How does it usually work?

    Unfortunately, I followed your instructions very carefully and I tried consigning a few elixirs at the new shop from the new world. Nothing happened for a couple of days and when I now returned to the shop to see if they were sold or not I noticed the old items from the store were there (the glitchy ones from before)! I didn't check to see if they were gone when I consigned my new items. So either they were there the whole time or they reappeared. Anyway, this way didn't work so I guess I'll try NRaas. Thank you!

  • If anyone comes here looking for a solution to the same issue i got NRaas and used master controller to reset the town, I also deleted the cash register in edit town and got a new one... And I think that was it. Now it's working again!

    Thanks a lot,puzzle addict, for you help! :)
