I have 5 stars on everything except consumerism where I only have 3.5 stars. I have 5 KEM's, a Try N Save, and a Sprawl*Mart, Herman's, etc. as well as all the stores you can purchase for the Squidport. Yesterday I built my fifth dadgum KEM and the 3.5 Consumerism rating still didn't go up.

I would appreciate any thoughts or ideas.

They upped the requirement to 9, even with all the premiums (Try N Save, Sprawl Mart). So it wasn't accurately displayed when you had 4, so it let you build 5th without raising it up. Should just need 4 more and you'll have 5 stars.

5 or 6 more if you are missing the House of Evil and Mapple Store (both no longer available, but House of Evil MAY return for Halloween).

It's not always the case though. Usually if they add a new store, they usually up the requirement by 2 stores. So in the end you get the new store, but also a new KEM.

The key is just to be content with 4 1/2 stars. It just seems like WAY too much trouble to get that last half star.

I have 5 stars (well until the righteous wheel goes for a spin) I am not even going to count all the KEM (wish you could stack them. Someone did publish a formula and I do remember it is level adjusted.

Yikes, I'm not adding that many more KEM to my town. 5 is too many, 5-7 MORE would be silly. Thank you all for your replies and information!

just place training walls behind buildings to maintain 5 stars or righteousness.

Unfortunately that only give you a base no amount of training walls will keep you at 5 so whether you have 5 everywhere else and 4.5 in righteousness you are 4.5 overall

I have 4 KwikEmarts all in different locations and all with different designs. I treat it like 7-11 etc, there's always 1 on every corner. Use them as gas stations etc. Even with 4 my consumerism is only 3 stars though

Just invest in 5 white fences. Then you can theoretically get 5 star bonus with a 4 1/2 star town. I've got white fences from my former landing zone hidden behind so many buildings in my town.

I no longer care if it's 4 stars or 4 1/2. I have those trains walls. It still drops from time to time for no reason.
