1) If you are selling/buying something that is also available as a mod, but other than options, they are the same thing for the same price, just "write" it into your story. An example is the Kuhn Metris 4102 which is available in a mod pack as well as the base game. The only significant difference is that the mod version comes with color options (for a fee) and the ability to unload into another tank/storage. Other than the paint job, the price is exactly the same. So you could in theory buy it as the "base model" and have your mechanic or local dealer give it a new coat of paint.
2) Make sure you check out and read all the "news" in the News Feed. I update it often and it will let you know of any current or upcoming events and big changes to the forum.
3) If you are going to do a private auction, make sure to document the time and be present at the auction deadline so the appropriate bid gets the sale. Private auctions should NOT last more than 24 hours. At the 24 hour mark (as close as I can get it) I will CLOSE the auction even if you aren't present and I will award the sale to the last bid when I close it to avoid conflicts. Whatever the highest bid is gets it, even if its not the amount you had hoped for as that is how auctions work.
4) If you have a listing (you cannot request this for a listing that isn't yours) and its gotten cluttered by off topic comments and you would like it cleaned up, please message me with (please clean the clutter) and the link to the thread and I will happily get it all tidied up for you. If we feel the conversation should continue, I can make a new topic for it and move all the comments accordingly
5) Did you know that you can control which notifications you get for certain boards!? While in a specific board, you will find an ACTIONS drop down on the upper right hand side of the board. Click that and select Notification Options. From here you can manage notifications for that specific board. DO NOT DISABLE NOTIFICATIONS FOR THE INFORMATION AND AND COMMUNITY AREA BOARDS. YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN CERTAIN AREAS.
6) If you are really enjoying the roleplay but dont like how the money system works, create your own "books". I found with the dealership roleplay that even on pc, it gets pretty chaotic fast when you start moving money, supplies, crops and equipment. The way to simplify this is through doing a financial log. This will allow you to "cheat" all of the money you need into your game to complete transactions, while still keeping track of your available funds accurately and without any need for special steps. It can be as simple as writing or typing your current bank roll (keeping it up to date after income or expense) or as complex as you want, tracking every single financial transaction. The minimal stuff needed would be paper and something to write with as well as either basic math skills or a simple calculator. You can even create your own thread in the community section and keep tabs on your stuff.. just call it something like "Dealership books" (that would be my personal example and i have a word doc saved exactly to that effect) and you can edit, add to or change as needed.. if you need help with any of that, send me a PM and let me know what you need help with! For those who aren't aware, this is what Daggerwin does for his survival roleplay as its really a practical move for this type of game play.
7) If you want your image shown in your listing but are having problems, make sure you put a link to your image. You can use any of the prescribed methods and as long as your link is good, I will turn it into an image as soon as I am able. Tagging me will ensure that I notice and it happens in a timely manor.
8) If you are an fs17 player, remember that lots of the base game items and even some of the mods, are available on both games. If you see something listed for 19 that is also in fs17, it is a legit sale regardless of which version of the game you play.
9) If you are a pc or console player and are having an issue or need help with the math to sell or buy something, message me or my wife (witchypoet), provide us with the details of your current bank account and the transaction amount and one of us will be happy to help you with exact step by step instructions for balancing your account in-game. This will be done discretely to save any potential embarrassment for anyone. My job isn't to shame anyone in our community.
10) Did you know you can change how much you get from the RM signs in game? Whatever the difficulty is when you put a sign down is what it registers. If you put down one sign on easy ($150,000) and change the difficulty to normal and put down another sign ($100,000), you will get $250,000 when the hour passes, even if you changed it to hard difficulty after placing the signs. You could use this to your advantage when you use the signs.
11) If you are hard pressed to make a quick sale on a listing that hasn't sold, tag me in a comment and say "dealer offer". I will make a fair but reduced offer based on the equipment and your asking price.
12) If you need ANYTHING forum related, don't hesitate to ask for help. I can help with all manor of problems on my end and if its something I cannot do its very easy for me to put in a ticket with the support team and have any problems lined right out. This includes login problems, user name problems or any other forum related issues or questions. Please don't hesitate to ask, that is why I am here!
