Decorations to Boost Consumerism. Pretty please?

I completely agree that we shouldn't have to have a KEM farm to keep that rating up. I'd be interested to know how many folks have 5 stars without farms or several hidden items.

Well, I'm at the point now where I only have maybe ten truly hidden items (three statues of justice, three or four koffee karts, two houses, and sort of one gulp'n'blow that's more of an extension to Costingtons) and my "townhouse" area that barely counts as a farm at less than ten houses. So, I think it's possible if someone had every store ever offered, and most of the restaurants, but I doubt that's the majority of players.

Me too. I have at least 4 KEMs and probably even more gulp and blows. I'm running out of places to hide them and my rating is STILL at 4.5 stars. :evil:

Ditch the gulp'n'blows and get some khlav kalash stands and koffee karts, you'll save some space that way.

That's actually an awesome idea, thanks. I don't know why I didn't think of doing that.. :lol: my whole squid port is filled with coffee karts but I only have like 2 khlav kalash stands.

*off to buy more*

This worked wonders for me with my town redesign, freed up new space and allowed me to change things around without losing m y gluttony rating :)

Exactly :)

I want something that will do the same thing for consumerism.

My other game has all the limited times Consumerism items and a couple premiums (I still haven't gotten the Sprawl mart) And I still have 4 KEM's. Now, they are not hidden, nor are they farmed. I've treated them like corner stores. And IRL, corner stores are everywhere. (What doesn't help is that the Vday update adjusted a couple building's C-O-M placing, so consumerism went down a building.)

One by my arena sporting section:


One by the hospital (and mall)


One in the housing development I currently have


And one in the "poor" part of my town. (Had to put back once Vday took away one of the buildings to Consumerism)


before Christmas, which added 5 to consumerism, I had a small KEM farm loosely hidden behind the Sunsphere, The elevator to nowhere, and King Homer. I was able to pack it up after Christmas which was very nice. They are getting better for consumerism. At one point, you would have required 13 KEM's if you were a free player only on Android. Now you will likely require 8. (so long as you started before Christmas)

Though ITA, they should have a small, easily hide-able decoration for consumerism. They relented and gave us 2 for Gluttony, so why not Consumerism? (V) ;,,; (V)

I've not farmed and managed to get 4.5 on consumerism and indolence. I really am not going to add additional KEM's or G&B's just to increase by .5 of a star. I think an item or decoration that adds to consumerism is really great idea, maybe a soft toy cart for SP? As for houses I really don't want to add more houses until we have a new type, I've got at least four of each as it is... :?

I fall into that category. 1 KEM, 1 Krusty Burger, 1 GNB. The only "multiples" I have are houses.

The only things hidden in my town are training walls, and it's not too many of them.

So what do you have for consumerism? Were you able to achieve this feat without spending a bunch of donuts? Inquiring minds want to know
