Do Mapple Store and Try-N-Sav count as "stores"?

The House of Evil became a "regular" building instead of a store after the Halloween event ended, with floating cash rather than a cash register. I find that odd and a little disappointing, since 5 stars in Consumerism is hard to achieve without multiple Kwik-E-Marts. :(

EDIT: Androids Dungeon - clearly a retail store - also gives a stack of cash.

Even *with* multiples, it would seem since indydude33 has 4 Kwik-E-Marts. EA is tantalizing us with that meter.

I tend to be a little OCD about this game, but getting a five-star conformity rating ain't one of the things that drives me nuts. Especially if I have to buy multiple KEM's -- my town is currently cluttered enough without that potential addition. And my less-than-five-star rating bothers me a lot less now that EA has finally fixed the premium bonus bug.

And it looks like I'm going to have to build another restaurant or two to get my gluttony back to 5. I guess I could use a third Krusty Burger to go with my 3 Gulp-N-Blows.

I don't see what's wrong with having multiple stores and restaurants, you need to fill you Springfield with something, right?

house farms . :twisted: Kidding, folks!

exactly

I only have 1 of each building. I refuse to buy multiples of the same store & restaurant to fill my meter. Land is already costly for me. So I really hope both the Mapple Store & Try-N-Save will count as stores.

Then hopefully in the future they will add more restaurants like The Happy Sumo, The Frying Dutchman, The Singing Sirloin, etc...

I tend to buy enough stores to get through the collecting $ from 10 stores.. Or the 18 houses. This way I don't have to use 1 donut to speed up the task :shock:

My consumerism and gluttony are holding strong at 3 stars a piece. I still need to buy the LLD.
