Consumerism question

Lard lads is gluttony and Krusty Lu is obdience I don't think either of those do

Edit: ninja 'd

Ferris wheel it is. I have the other buildings. Thanks!

I thought I read on the wiki that Disco Stu's did increase consumerism.

Of course, it also said the wax museum increased consumerism, which I investigated and found inaccurate.

According to my notes, Stu's Disco goes to Obedience. The wax museum, for some insane reason goes to Indolence. Maybe because it has wax people and that is their home? Who knows.

I think the wiki bases their categories according on what symbol is over head. The wax museum has a cash register, which is the same as the KEM, a known consumerism booster.

Premium stores I have down as consumerism
Try N Save
Ferris wheel
Sprawl Mart
Springfield Pet Shop

It has a stack of cash, actually. There are stores that also have stacks of cash (like Android's Dungeon, which I confirmed as a consumerism booster) but a lot of other things have it, like Burns Manor (not sure what that contributes to) and the Gift Depot from the xmas update (consumerism) and the courthouse (obedience) Madam Chao's (gluttony) etc.

*edit* I checked, and it's indolence, all right. Weird.

There were some stuff-ups for Level 34 (Patty & Selma) as well as Level 35 (Van Houtens), where things were classified as the wrong Conform-O-Meter types.

*Batchelor Arms was Consumerism (now Indolence),
*Cracker Factory was Indolence (now Gluttony),
*Office of Unemployment was Indolence (now Obedience),
*Pet Store was Obedience (now Consumerism),
*Spinster Appts was Obedience (now Indolence)

They were all done with the Valentines update. There's been no other major reshuffle to the C-O-M besides this.

Yeah, take the icons with a grain of salt. They're irrelevant to the building type, unfortunately.

...Though I suppose that makes sense, as there's 6 "types" of buildings that pay out - Indolence, Gluttony, Obedience, Consumerism, Vanity (Cemetery, etc.) and "Unclassified" (Bowlarama, Duff Stadium etc. - 14 in total in this category). There's only 3 symbol types for buildings payout.

Totally irrelevant? Because it seems to me that the stack of cash is the only real wild card.
If a building has a cash register and I put it in storage, my consumerism will drop. If it has a dollar sign, it will impact my indolence. Menu, it'll be gluttony. I haven't tested every single building, though; are there exceptions to this?

I actually wish EA would say what items increase what rating when purchasing buildings, they do it for decorations

That would be lovely.

The building(s) that come with level 39 need to be for consumerism because recently alls we mostly been getting are restaurants
