@LegacySims2017 that is super awesome of you! I hope it wins because it is an epic story!
@Karababy52 Glad, you have your internet back sweetie! Good luck with the name finding but I love them all! I know the feeling with the bills I have had my electric and my water turned off several times now! She has went days without both LOL! I have had two Thursday's off since I started playing the challenge, my sim has no time to get out and exercise so I got her the perk to level fun while she does her exercise! Then she can do a few push-ups and sit-ups in the store but still has packed on the pounds! I may have to go with some diet potion for her to melt it off! Good info on the Moo dear I did not know that! Thanks a bunch! They have the $) simoleons bathroom's in debug dear! From the outdoor pack, I think it's from that one, but anyway it cost $0 I had to add one to my bookstore for the same reason! Gosh sweetie I'm glad you brought up the crashing mine is crashing all the time also! I lost 3 days of sim play just the other day because I forgot to save each day! I have to start it all over from the last save it did! I couldn't find a backup save for it either! I was sure that they said the game autosaved at some points, but not mine! I have no cc or mods and I play in online mod all the time! I was hoping that you would say it works without crashing in offline mode! I was going to try that next time, no matter crying now! Can't wait to see your pic's dear! All sounds very interesting for sure!
Thanks, I'm glad I have it back too and thanks about the store names. They're okay I guess. It's still just called 'Get Campin' but I really like some of @SoulGal7's suggestions. I think I'm going to change it to "S'More Camping Gear," that's so cute! Thanks!
Grant has now reached his goal of earning 17000 simoleans and he did it in only one week! I think selling half his stock on 50% markup Thursday & Friday, plus selling three items on 100% markup on Saturday really helped.
I knew about the debug toilet, but he doesn't have to be frugal now so I'll probably just get a normal one. Thanks for reminding me though! Thankfully when I played last night my game didn't crash. It just compounds my theory though. Playing in Origin offline mode with an internet connection isn't fully 'offline' in my opinion. But playing with Origin in offline mode with NO connection (I have WiFi that's on all the time) truly is offline and Origin doesn't like that for some reason. Bummer that you lost 3 days of play time. I know we used to have autosave, but I think I read in a recent update they got rid of it.
I play a totally vanilla game too, no mods, no CC at all. I took some pics last night and was going to post them then, but I ran into a problem. I was doing laundry and went in the basement to put the clothes in the dryer and found it flooded. Our sump pump failed. So I had to do some bailing, sweeping and drying. Ug, I'm so sore today, hope it's not worse when I wake up later.
Anyway, here's the pics I promised. :) I put them in a spoiler because I went a little pic crazy, there's only 10, but they're kinda big. Sorry about that....

Meet Grant Forest, proprietor of S'More Camping Gear! His aspiration is Body Builder and traits are Active, Loves Outdoors and Creative... I think. I can't remember now. lol I don't really have a backstory for him yet other than that he loves camping, nature and anything to do with sports. I gave him the creative trait because he'll eventually become a writer of wilderness survival guides.
It's 1 a.m. Sunday morning and he's just closed the store. He worked his bum off all week and is tired, bored and hungry so he's having a PBJ before hitting the hay.

Here's his lovely store. It's quite plain right now. I never did get a chance to spruce it up with debug stuff, but that's okay. I like that it's simple and rustic, just like him! :)

Here's an overhead view of the layout. Notice how tiny his apartment is in relation to the rest of the building? lol I plan to change that now that he's reached his goal. *Note - Some pics look dark because he's using Autolights and unless he's in the room, the lights are out to save money! I realize now I should've had him walk out there or turned autolights off for the pics, but oh well.

This is most of his inventory. Items for sale here are two grills (he had only one, but added the big gas grill Friday), a tent, a camp chair & bench, picnic table, double blow up mattress, and firepit.

The ninth item is a cuddly Granite Falls mascot bear sitting in front of the checkout desk. I had it sitting on the corner, but it couldn't be sold there as previously mentioned.

This is the reason why I think I have to swap out the firepit for something else. Sims just can't leave it alone. Bjorn caught himself on fire in this pic, but don't worry he didn't burn up. lol

Bjorn walked away after lighting the fire again and Marcus Flex took advantage to toast some marshmellows.

Mila Munch decided to join him. *sigh* Yeah, it's gotta go!

After Grant had a good night's, er morning's sleep, he had a bite to eat while watching a cooking show, cleaned the toilet, fixed the broken sink and did some restocking.

Finally after all his chores were done it was time to do a body builder's idea of a fun activity, jogging, of course. :)
