Just my last words to this "offtopic"-conflict ()... If you've really read all my post you would know that I
1st am familiar with cheatcodes and how to use it
2nd have already found a workaround for me with the kaching cheat (which explains again the 1st)

I just refer to your sentences above, don't even think about that you should call my attention to all the other poor Sim2 users who don't know how to use cheats . I just want to tell you, that I (Me, the Urmel, the girl from Germany) has everything but a fix for this issue.

ooooxxxxx
Urmel

Sorry jsalemi,
I know that everybody only wants to help, but getting offtopic and discuss about cheats doesn't help for the subject. I'm patient, but I know forums and long threads... at the end nobody nows the original subject.
Sorry again for being so... well stubborn, but offtopic posts are not always welcome.
If this is apreciated in this forum, I can accept it and live with it.

Anyway... my post is just offtopic as well .

@J.M. Pescado
Please let me know if I can help you with your investigation.

Thanks
Urmel

Hi all,

sorry for disturbing you, but the thread seems to be on a way to offtopic now.

It doesn't help me (and all others who have this sell-pet-no-money-thing) when we discuss the different ways to add and remove money from family funds with or without hacks, cheats and whatever...

Could we please go back to the subject? What else can I do to request a Fix for this? It happens with "old" and "used" neighbourhouds I guess. It has nothing to do with any download or hack (I repeat it to much I know).

Shall I write a request for this in a different subforum?

Nothing new here?

I'll do everything for a fix, but I don't know how I can help.

I know, that definitely my "old" neighbourhood is affected, Pleasantview with tons of character- and lotfiles and which is growing daily since December 2004. It has nothing to do with any kind of download, because when I remove the downloadfolder, I don't earn the money in Pleasantview as well. Only when I choose a Testneighbourhood or Strangetown or Veronaville, than it works with (for example Cyd Roseland and Porthos).

I can spend all necessary neighbourhood files for an analysis, if you want to.

@miros
In order to use the money order I had to do 2 things:
First to check quickly the floating amount... and I was mostly to slow with my eyes (or even with my brain)
Second, load the buyers family only for a few thousand bucks...
...it's easier for me to use the good old kaching

Urmel

Sorry for not answering so long

@twojeffs
The fix doesn't work for me either

If you have more ideas, I'm happy to be your guinea pig .

All my families have tons of simoleons , except the poor Cyd Roseland *sigh*. I help myself with the kaching cheat. With every dog he sell he will receive the thousands with several kachings

@sweetCamos

I've tried it with several families in Pleasantview. It's not related to the house .

Don't know what to do next

Ok... that was not what I've expected...

Could it be related to the Neighbourhood?

I removed all downloads... really complete all I swear. The complete downloadfolder was moved two directories up. The game creates a new, empty one (this is new with Pets I guess).
And it did not work in Pleasantville  . Cyd Roseland did not get a cent for his dogs, the amount is displayed, the kaching sound apprears, that's it. If I use a new Cyd Roseland which was created in the Bin for e. g. Veronaville, than the money was added to the family fund as it should be.

Now I'm completely confused. It's something with my Pleasantville... and I can't give it up, no way! So many "old" Sim Families, several Generations...
What can I do?

Thanks Ziggy and miros for your help,

I've just tried to sell a cat (from the Kat-Family in the family bin of my test-neighbourhood) to a townie without any downloads, and... what shall I say? It works .
I got the money... *sigh*

Next I searched all my downloads (again) with the Clean Installer... but I did only find one, which was not be marked in red, the Date Counter from somebody from MTS2.
I removed it and I just removed all hacks and all object downloads and will try it again with Cyd Roseland (the animal activist ).

My problem is a a hack- or bad download-problem... that is quite sure for now .
Hopefully it was the Date Counter. I'll keep you informed.

Sorry for now, I hadn't time to try out the "bug" without all downloads.
I plan this for tomorrow, it saturday and my first vacation day (only one week ).

I'll keep you informed

@cwykes
I've all EPs except the Accessory Packs Xmas, FFS and GS or something. Only the full EPs and installed in the order of release.

*grin*

Never mind Urmel is (in Germany) a famous little dinosaur which was found in an egg and hatched by a professor who teach animals to talk It's a fairy tale written by Michael Ende (The Neverending Story) and it was my favorite as I was a child. I guess Urmel is male... but I think nobody knows it for sure .

I forgot to answer your first question: I've never tried to sell a dog to an NPC. I don't want to, they become stray dogs then. That's what I've read about.

I found several posts of people who are talking about pet sales in shops and a lot of them said, that they earn a lot of money for their dogs when they use the "Sale..." option. Well... now I'm really not sure anymore if one hack was hidden in some subdirectory.... *sigh*.

I should test it and remove all downloads (even the objects and clothing etc.).

Thank you all

*cough* I'm a "she"

What I can swear is, that I've played really hackfree, because my downloads are well sorted in different subdirectories. I've crosschecked it with clean installer as well.
I have a lot of hacks, but I know that I have to remove them with every new expansion until new versions are available.

Yes i can hear/see the kaching sound and the floating numbers. That's why I know how many money I've lost, becaus it was not added .

@cwykes
Have you found at least one? I found some in the German Simforum, but I cannot say if they have played without any hacks.

If these is a bug, may I request a bugfix now? Please?

Thanks
Urmel

Over 100 views and no answer?

Am I the only one who has this problem? Was my description mistakable or was my english so bad? *sniff*

Has anybody sold a Pet to a neighbour with the "Sales..."-Option without any Hacks (like me) and with or without having a Home Business (I've tried both)? And if yes, has anyone earned the prize which is displayed during the sales process, I mean was it added to the family funds?

It's really annoying for me and the only "bug" I have

Sorry for pushing this thread up
Urmel

Hi all,

can you help me find out if the above mentioned subject is a bug or if I'm only too stupid to sell my pets.

I've played around several hours with Mr. ... well, I forgot the name of the Sim *shame* but the one who you can find in the family bin with the small dog Porthos.
He is a animal welfare activist , adopts all stray dogs give them a good education and then he sells them away in new better homes. He can't go to work, because 6 dogs at once with more ore less (mostly less) good behavior hold him busy all the time , so he needs the money badly which he earns from the dog sales.
Well... at least 3000 Simoleons could he earn (it's shown during the sales process on the screen ) for a well trained dog, but the money wasn't added to the family fund.

What's wrong here? Another bug or just my fault?

Thanks for your help
Urmel
