The only stuff pack that I haven't arrquired yet is Glamour Life stuff and that's only because every single file I've found on TPB has been labelled as having a bloody virus. Is it worth getting or should I just not bother to keep looking fpor a clean one?

It was my favourite SP until IKEA and M&G came out. (The quartertile cheat alone made M&G my favourite SP ever.) I use GLS objects quite a lot. PJs and coats are nice too. Certainly not worth to pay for, but worth enough to acquire. There is still one available on MiniNova. No mention of virus in comments.

Of course, I now know that you can get someone to pay 800 simoleons an hour with a well-executed dazzling. Unfortunately, she does now, too, so it's very interesting to do such challenges now.



Heh. 800/hour?

At the times that I would run a backyard venue for the sole purpose of  gaining the money to b uy a community lot, I'd routinely charge $9,999/hr for admission to a bubble blower and a few snapdragons.

And the Reporter will pay any amount to enter a venue, and can sometimes be coaxed into showing up in the fearly days of the business.  The highest I ever charged on a business designed solely as reporter bait was $300,000/hr, but the reporter will pay  $999,999/hr, no questions asked if you let her.

Though prior to the Bon Voyage Patch, you could run a backyard massage parlor, and "Selll Massage To..." townies at $999,999 each with no sales badges required.

Venues can make insane money. Lately, though, I've been setting them to ridiculously cheap and/or ceasing to charge customers when the owner leaves.  Mostly the latter.  It takes too much time  to get a  date or casual group that contains non-resident Sims into the venue otherwise.

SHIT, SON

HOW DID YOU DO THIS

And how did you determine who was the reporter when they came? Is there a distinguishing characteristic, or did you somehow view their tokens? Or can one simply make them temporarily selectable and see an action in their queue that is indicative of a reporter visit? Perhaps the reporter NPC is reused? (In which case, I think I shall put mine in a slightly more descriptive outfit.)

Although reporters don't have a special uniform, they're fairly easy to spot. Look for the customer who constantly takes notes.

If you have antiredundancy, I believe that only one reporter is used for all businesses.

Do they take notes before having paid at the ticket booth? Wait, that's stupid, it's always the same reporter! Dwahh. Thank you for the infos! Now to make my Gootentaugen-and-Hot-Tubs lounge a reality. Bwahahah.
