Re: [QUEST] Missing Claus
thank you!
does the bolded 'buy' mean we actually have to purchase things, meaning we have to, in the instance of having lots of chrismas decorations in storage, go through a painstaking process of putting every single bit of a certain type of item out of the inventory until we can finally purchase some? :SSSS

Re: [QUEST] Missing Claus
As a long time player I have accumulated and bought a lot of holiday items. I used to decorate all my houses. Recently, not so much, so I had a lot in inventory. Having to put out all of an item so I could buy more of something I didn't want more of really irritated me.

Re: [QUEST] Missing Claus
What bugs me, is that you don't have the option anymore of selling an item when you first place it. You need to tap the arrow to confirm placement of the item, then tap the item again to get the option to sell it.

Using the duplication button takes items from the inventory without need to confirm. Makes it a tiny bit easiercopperwood wrote: ↑12 Dec 2018, 17:37 What bugs me, is that you don't have the option anymore of selling an item when you first place it.

Re: [QUEST] Missing Claus
Now having got a proper look at that Farmhouse, it makes me so determined to complete this quest. It's so beautiful, rustic and perfect for my small family of three to live in without making too many adjustments to it so it suits just right!
