Shop in Bulk Medieval V8 *UPDATED* 4/30/11

by Carrigon

This is version eight of my shopping hack, updated for official patch 1.3. Now with Trading of Quest Items! Buy, Sell, Trade several quest items.

I have added the trading code directly to this file, so if you have my trading hack, you need to take that out before installing this. I have added the Forging Unlock code and the Potions Unlock code, if you have my Forging or Potions Unlocked files, you just take them out before installing this version. This file will replace your current version of my shopping hack. You can only have one version at a time in your game.

To install: just copy the package over the old file. Remove my trading, forging, and potions hacks if you have them.

What's New V8: The patch broke mining for gold. Basically, before the patch, I was able to make anything mineable, but now, I can't. So, I guess we will not be mining for new items right now. I fixed the gold bars so you can at least buy them and trade them. I cleaned up the market stalls alot. You should see less crowding of items. I lowered the inventory on the swords and armor. This file is fully compatible with official patch 1.3. I still can't get the crab armor and crab sword buyable, but I'm working on it. And I will try to add more items to buy in the next update.

What's New V7: Updated for official patch 1.3. I am rushing this hack out to you so you can use it with the patch. There are still several things I'm working on with it, but it's fully compatible with the patch. New stuff to buy! Better stuff available when you click on the Blacksmith and choose purchase crafts. More stuff in the market stalls. There are some things in the stalls that are still having too much quantity or not showing correctly, I am working on them. I added the recipe code to this file. The patch added code for a crab sword and crab armor, I'm working on fixing it. So basically, anything buggy looking, I am working on it.

What's New V6: Mine for Gold! You can now mine for Gold and other quest items. I've added objects I thought might be found while digging up those rocks. You can mine for gold bars, both fake and real. You can mine for skulls, bones, hardening crystals, darkstones, dreamstones, Jacoban cloth and evidence. And a few more items. I've spread them out a bit so that you don't always find the same stuff or even anything new. The more you dig and collect the minerals, the more interesting objects you will find.

What's New V5: Drinkable Blood! You can buy Blood Tonic and drink it and place it in the larder. The Blood will up the hunger bar a bit, you can have your sim live off Blood Tonic. Special changes to AngelBalm. I have made AngelBalm a kind of super cure. It will cure most of the game's diseases, however, there is a price. Your sim will lose their soul. But they won't be sick. AngelBalm does give other benefits, good moodlets and raises energy. Gold Bars are now available to buy and trade. FrogAdrenaline and Golem Elixer, also available for buy and trade. And Buyable Empowered Omnibus Pendant. DoomStaffs are now tradeable for Skulls. See the trading guide for any other trade changes.

What's New v4: DoomStaff is now buyable! More items are buyable, most all the minerals, a few more special ingredients for forging like the catalysts. Mouthwash and Churdle potions are now buyable and the mouthwash is usable. A few more things for trading. You can trade talking frogs for mouthwash. See the updated trading guide for that.

I've included a trading guide with this file so you know what you can trade. You can trade blood and wooden stakes, chillaweed, Omnibus Pendants, even Arcane Edge.

Known issues: I am still working on the blacksmith's stall being too full of items. Many potions and poisons are still not available, working on it. And several quest items are still not available.

Fix your broken quests! If you are missing a quest item, you can now buy it!

This file allows you to shop in greater quantities. The Village Shoppe will stock more items in larger quantities, including many quest items. The Merchant will now sell many more items and larger quantities of items. And the Blacksmith's stall will also be full.

Some items are still unavailable for purchase.

The Village Shoppe and Market Stalls refresh their items at 3am every day. If you don't see this working for you right away, you have to wait till after 3am. Then you should see it all. Give the menu a minute or two to load.

This file is still in the alpha stage and the tools used to create it were also kind of alpha, so backup your game first before trying this.

If you see no results in a current game after waiting till the stores refresh, you will need to start a new game for this.

I have not tested this with all quests and cannot gurantee that it won't mess a quest up, so backup up your game.

Have fun playing around with this file. Just remember to backup your game first.

This file will conflict with ShimRod's Market hack and any hack that uses the shopping and trading codes.

UPDATE: To update, just overwrite the old file, make sure you have removed my trading, potions and forging hacks first. I have now unlocked nearly every quest item and made them available to buy. Some are available only in the village or market or off the Blacksmith. If you can't find something, make sure you check all three and both the Blacksmith's stall and clicking on the Blacksmith and choosing Purchase Crafts. You will be able to sell the quest items from inventory and put them in the cargo hold, and trade several of the quest items.

Notes: I had to rewrite the game codes for this hack, please do not copy or reupload it. It took me days to create this work.

Installation: You do need framework for this. http://sims2workshop.com/viewtopic.php?t=3409

Backup your Documents/Electronic Arts/Sims Medieval folder first.

Once you've done all that, this file just goes right into your Mods/Packages folder just like any other hack.

NO copying, NO rehacking, NO Redistributing, I spent days working on this file.
