[EA confirmed] Major Bug with % Premium Items. DONT BUY THEM - THEY DONT WORK!
Hmmmm....now that I think about it, I have the same problem.
Forum Discussion
Before I get into my findings, I wanted to point out that the conformity bonus does not explicitly state what it applies to. Since all the components of the bonus are related to buildings, I think it is quite possible the bonus is not intended to be applied to jobs.
That being said, the numbers still don't add up and the premium item percentage isn't stacking correctly.
My premium stuff:
Hammock .25
Burning bush (x3) 1.5
Bench .25
White fence (x11) .55
Orange tree .5
Total 3.05%
Conformity bonus 5%
Total 8.05%
I checked several 1 hour jobs which should give 70xp and instead gave 74xp which is a 5.7% increase.
However, 70*1.05=73.5 which rounds to 74. This indicates that the premium bonuses aren't being used at all, only the conformity.
EDIT: actually, this works with ops numbers as well.
1.035*70= 72.45, which rounds to 73
1.035*135= 139.725, rounding to 140
1.035*420= 434.7, rounding to 435
VERY DISAPPOINTING! Feel really bad for those that bought premium items purely for percentage increases. I wonder if this is a recent glitch or if it has always been present?
