What is the Picked and Profit about?

only I wish my sims could actually do this: aquire items from things like the junk yard or dumpster diving in TS3, and then do them up, sell them on, and make a profit.

Yes! This is exactly what I thought it might be. How disappointing that it wasn't.

Cool reference to American Pickers TV show in US. My hubby loves to watch that program. B)

I played for less than an hour yesterday. I didn't even get to peruse the buy/build section. :(

@simgirl1010 I've played all previous versions, shows how much attention I pay to the actual Sims :D

Yeah, I didn't recognize a lot of them. I usually get rid of all the premade sims.

The curtains were picked at a price of 45 simoleons and are sold at 115 in the buy catalog, making a profit of 70 simoleons.

We're basically giving our sims stuff that is being resold.

That's why I didn't buy any of those stuff for my sims. XD Plus, the boho theme is not for me.

Let's me understand
Cities visited are The Sims 3
But the Plumbob Pickers are sims from The Sims 2

No. The Sim in the Sims 2 with the furniture store is Chico Ramirez, not Checo. The Sims being referred to are pre-mades from The Sims 3.

No, I believe you are mistaken. Have you searched online for Checo Ramirez in Sims 2? This correct spelling of his name can also be easily confirmed by opening up the Sims 2 OFB game. Anyway, I'm sure the Maxis Team knows who their previous game characters were. ;) In Sims 3 Roaring Heights, there were 5 Marks brothers that were a spin off of the Marx brothers. But there was not one named Chico.

so i know that im like two years late to this whole conversation, but i notice when i buy those curtains which i use in a lot of my builds, along with a lot of furniture from that stuff pack, i get a pop up in my corner saying my sim invested and made 480,000 this week. do you guys think that might have something to do with the whole pick and profit thing as well? i know might sound crazy but its just a hunch. because i never got those pop ups until i recently downloaded the pack again! thanks


and p.s this is my first time posting! i didnt even know they had a sims forum.. (terrible i know) so excuse the weird question or if this isnt the correct place to even ask the question above! im new to this and dont have any friends lol. maybe someone can show me around! thanks!
