Alternate Room Fixing?

Alternate Room Fixing? - 04/20/13 02:32 AM

So, a box just popped up and said that there might be other ways to fix some of the rooms. Has anyone found any?

Not me. I've tried putting them into the room and then on the workbench. Tried buying more tools. So far nothing. And the repair costs are way too high.

I hope someone answers soon.

The same happens in the iOS version as well. I've not seen anyone report that they've found any other ways, here or on the Facebook page.

I'm afraid that information is incorrect, Jami.

Okay, then how do we do it? Because that's the information people are spreading on Google.

I agree. I've tried multiple things, but they've all come up goose egg. At least give us a hint that isn't "there may be alternate ways to fix a room"

Fortunately, not everything you see or read online is true! The game is not for people who's looking for instant gratification. Like undine said;

You'll be hard pressed finding an alternate way of fixing the rooms.

The peps in VF-2 respond beautifully, so go and play with 'em!
Happy gaming!

Since I don't know how much could be a spoiler, I'm just going to put everything under the spoiler tag. This was for the contaminated room:

I just logged on to a family and I got a pop up (I was doing something else, so didn't think to get a screenie of it) from the EPA about my contaminated room (the green room). I got the option to tell them about it or lie. I told them. Result was, they gave me 25% off of fixing the room and workers came and cleaned the room.

But normally on game tip websites the information is true.

Lucky! I got the same event and told them and I got fined and given free rash cream because several of my peeps got itchy.

I've had that a couple of times in iOS and once in Windows.

Each time I told them and got a free tube of cortisone cream, although that was nothing special since I had to buy more tubes for the rest of the family!

Alternate ways of room renovation???? And more - 04/24/13 01:11 AM

I agree in the respect that IF there is an alternate way of fixing rooms...and porch...I, for one, could use a hint!

If there is another way to build certain rooms please someone let me know! Also, if there are other "secret" things to be found or accomplished...now would be a good time to make them known to keep game from becoming boring.Is it...or will it ever be, possible to change wallpapering, flooring, etc?

Anyone?

Anyone find any information yet? Because unless I hit it big in the lotto I'm not going to get anymore work done. My people are just too lazy.

Depends on how much reward training you do initially...
Mine (touch wood) have all been hard workers but then I run a tight ship..
Especially on the first generation peeps, they work till they drop..;)
I have had only one lazy bloke...but eventually got him to dance right..

This is very interesting. I like to figure out how it works. So, I've started a new family. Until now no room is restored. The poor must sleep in the office...

At first there was the report to the EPA ... okay, I've got one cortisone cream and had to buy another frown

I'm curious what happened next smile

I have found a way to earn money fast, and my peeps have over a million coins.

Click to reveal..
I drag the adults to their workplace and just start praising them. When they run away, I drag them back and praise them 3 times again. I make sure to do this 10 times. After you've had them run away 10 times, drag them back to their workplace one more time, and praise them twice. This way, you can get your peeps to earn money quickly, and you can promote then to master by the age of 35. it might take a few generations to get enough to renovate all the rooms, but you'll have them renovated soon enough. wink


Enjoy earning money and renovating the rooms! smile

Yes that is the best way. However:

praising with the green hand too much makes them run away. It is best to use things like candy or fruit from the Flea market.
