If you need something else added up, do let me know, I will see what I can do.

Credit
Credit to Carrigon as I used his/her/their shopping hack mod as resource. Created this while he/she/they update the shopping mod for P&N.

[DarthKitsune]

thank you! this is awesome!

[Frappacino]

Updated to v2 with slightly more items.

[TotallyNewHere]

this ruins all the fun of getting 'em :-/

[Destynova99]

Then don't use the mod. Those of us who have been playing the game a while and are tired of spending half a sims day every day gathering, or visiting the market every single day for 1-2 of an item when we need quite a bit more than that... or any of the other reasons why we would want this mod, will use it with a smile. There's a certain point where you want to focus on other aspects of the game and mods like this help us do that.

tsm has other aspects? when did this happen...

[ladyskye]

Thanks so much for the new Mod! My game play time is more limited at the moment and I don't have time to waste running around from place to place looking, waiting, or trying to get stuff. This will help the way I play, a lot. :)

Will this conflict with Grim's Core?

I'm using both this mod and Grim's core and haven't run into any problems.

Thanks, I'll install it the next time I get a chance to play.

[lovetherain]

sorry, im not sure if i understand fully, but does this mod work without P&N? at the moment, i dont have P&N. thanks

[DarthKitsune]

if you don't have p&N I would suggest using carrigon's shopping hack mod.

[Frappacino]

That's correct, this is made for P&N and compatible with Grim's Core Mod.

[lovetherain]

thank you for the clarification guy :)

Oh, God, second. Sure, there are some times when I'd want to do it the old way, but trailing around going to the few places where angelweed grows gets old.

[Arv1Manch]

Why it's not work on my sims medieval ?
i move that folder in c:\program files\electronic arts\the sims medieval\game\bin\mods\packages

[DarthKitsune]

i don't think your mods folder needs t obe in the bin, just put in the c:\program files\electronic arts\the sims medieval folder.

[ladyskye]

Darth is right. You have your mods folder in the wrong place. Only the .dll file goes in the bin. You have to move your Mods folder to The Sims Medieval folder.

[Arv1Manch]

Thanks for the advice
:gjob: :gjob: :gjob:

[sparrowsim]

I can't seem to get version 2 to work. Both mods are in the proper folder and I can see version 1 modifications just fine. Why would one work but the other not?

For info purposes, I tried using just version 2 first, then thought I had to have version 1 also, downloaded that and placed it in the mods folder. But I'm not seeing the 50 mana stones in the shop or anything else. I put version 1 in and it's working fine. I'm not sure at all what I'm doing wrong.

[DarthKitsune]

you should only use one village mod at a time. . .

So, have you tried to wait for the village shoppe reset? Which is 3 am.

[sparrowsim]

So, have you tried to wait for the village shoppe reset? Which is 3 am.

Er, yes. I put the mod in and have been playing through several sim-days. Also, in regards to the "use one mod at a time" solution, I tried using the V2 mod by itself FIRST without the original mod and it never worked for me. I added the original V1 mod and it's working fine. V2 is doing nothing and that's what I need answers for.

Do you have any other mod that are related to market mod for example ShimrodsTSMMarketStallMoreItemsVer3.package mod? this mod will conflict with the Village_Shop_Tweak_PN_V2.package mod.

[Destynova99]

Could you add Lute of the Watcher to the list when you get the chance? And/or Heavy Metal Lute? Sent my bard from my latest kingdom to the shop and the best lute available was the Masterwork lute which bummed me out. Thanks!

[wayne13579]

when i download the file it is a notepad will the mod still work

[DarthKitsune]

do you have Package files set to open in notepad? if you do then this is the problem and as long as it's file extension is .package, then it will be usable.

[Moon Jaguar]

Beautiful! Thanks!

[yannickvanloon]

Thank you, this amazing!! :lovestruc :up: :up: :up:

[darkdama]

please guys help me neither the 2 versions work for me the files come as Village_Shop_Tweak_PN.package has a file package and the version 2 the same but with "V2" on it and they are set to open with dll of the shell or something i have the P&N installed but when i put on the sims medieval folder the first one it doesnt show up nothing in the game no matter where i put it i tired in the gamedata/shared/packages and still nothing neither first version or 2 pls help!!!

[darkdama]

tried* sorry wrote fast

[darkdama]

guys i think i screwed up everything now the icon file has the notepad in and i put it to the recycle bin now when i download again the file its still the same is not a blank icon as with was what i do now?:s

[DarthKitsune]

the package files you download for mods go in the computer/program files (x86 if you have windows 7)/electronic arts/the sims medieval/mods/packages

you have to create the mods folder and then create the packages folder within the mods folder.

[darkdama]

but it doesnt ruin the files being set to open with notepad?i cant change it back to the way it was! i put it on the sims medieval folder?or in the sims medieval pirates and nobles folder?

[darkdama]

then if im doing well why it doesnt appear nothing in the village shoppe?and yes i wait to resfresh at 3 AM and nothing

[ChickieTeeta]

then if im doing well why it doesnt appear nothing in the village shoppe?and yes i wait to resfresh at 3 AM and nothing

Do you have other mods in the game that are working?

[grimreefer24601]

It sounds like you set the package to open with Notepad. It's just a Windows thing, it won't hurt anything. It didn't really change anything in the file. There are ways to fix it, but you really don't need to.

It sounds like you haven't read the RockerDuck's Stickied tutorial How to Mod Your Game for Beginners (http://www.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=438344). This should explain where everything goes.

[DarthKitsune]

as long as the file is .package, it'll be fine, no matter what program you have it set to open with. I've got my set to open with s3pe because I like the icon.

[darkdama]

i only have testingcheatsenabled on nothing else i know about it

[ChickieTeeta]

i only have testingcheatsenabled on nothing else i know about it

If you want to do a quick non-technical check of your folders then drop some other mod in too, one that's immediately visible, like Shimrods castle wall texture changes
(which you can find here)
http://gnautylilgnomes.com/forum/index.php?topic=2562.0,
to check if your folders are set up properly, but even if the texture change does show, your current problem with this mod could possibly be because you haven't put in the d3dx9_31.dll

My package files are set to open with S3PE like Darth's, but Grim and Darth are right, having them set to open with notepad shouldn't affect them, as long as the file extension hasn't been changed.

Follow Grim's link a couple posts above this. It's a very good guide, very straightforward, and both the downloads that you need to set up your mods folder are included in this guide too, all, handily, in the very first post of the guide.

I hope you can get it working :)

[darkdama]

got it! It works now apparently it missed the d3dx9_31.dll file like you said xd have a doom set now ^^ thanks a lot guys

[ChickieTeeta]

[Simmiller]

This is soooo helpful. I love it! :rofl:

[theotherhalf]

Can't find Carrigon's "Shop in Bulk Medieval" could you please make this text a hyper-link to the download.

[DarthKitsune]

carrigon's shop in bulk is not compatible with P&N, as far as I know.

[Deylendor]

Doomsword Hilt, Doomsword Blade and Unicorn Horn !?
Why?

How can I remove those from being added to the sell list?

[mikah2001]

do u have for v1.3.13???

[justinpatrick1011]

Please add the Manual of Blacksmithing: The Cursed Doomsword and the Manual of Blacksmithing:The Legendary Angel's Talon, because of that its also the RARE ITEM.

[gingee703]

I downloaded it and placed in packages folder but the items dont appear, what did I do wrong?

Just wait until the items had been changed, :!: IF THIS DOESNT WORK, I DON'T KNOW TO YOU. :!:

[gingee703]

I fixed it already, was too lazy to type it.

[justinpatrick1011]

xD lol cheers! :beer:

[ContessaClaire]

Could you fix it so that the items that don't stack at the Marketplace don't have 50? It's tiresome scrolling through hundreds of lutes and birds... :c

[milklizard01]

Works great, thanks :)

[RalleLaj]

I just DL'ed and installed this mod (V. 2) since I finally got my hands on the Pirates and Nobles expansion pack.

However, every time I send a Hero Sim to the Village Shop the 'shopping list screen' comes up all weird and the game freezes. The item list is blank and it says 'Shop name' instead of 'Village Shop' and 'money string' in brackets where my Sim's funds should be.

I've tried starting a new kingdom and chosing a new, different ambition with the same result.

I'm running version 2.0.113.00107 of the game and the only other mod I have is Grim's Medieval Core v 2.0.13 beta. The core worked fine as I played with only that in my game for a couple of days before discovering this shopping mod.

I'm stuck on what to do and am dreading having to do a complete re-install and/or lose my current Kingdom, so any help would be appreciated :)

Have the functions on the core actually showed up in the game? You have the options panel etc for the core mod? I ask incase you haven't set up the d3dx9_31.dll file.

I know items are meant to spawn at 3am, did you wait till then and try it again. I don't think it should mess up your shop before this happens though, but I've never had a problem with it so I don't know what it does before they spawn.

I use this in conjunction with "Shimrod's more market stall items V3" and have done since December last year. I'm sure the 2 should conflict but I've never had a problem with the village shoppe or the market stall or my game.

Thanks for your quick reply :)

Core functions have indeed shown up in the game, that's how I know it was working fine :).
My d3dx9_31.dll (which is from MTS but from 2009, I dunno if that makes a difference.) is located at the following part (I'm on Win 7): C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims Medieval Special Edition\Game\Bin. I'm fairly sure that's correct, but I'll admit it's been years since I started playing/modding SM.

About 3AM I started a new quest that didn't require items from Village Shop and waited 3.5 sim days before finally sending a sim shopping... same result; blank item list and game froze.

Mine is from 2009 as well, so it's not that.
Yeah, I didn't think it should be affecting your store like that before the spawn.
I see a couple of people back over this thread had problems with it.
If Grim's core is working without problems then your setup and files are fine, so I don't know.
I've always used this mod in conjunction with Shimrod's, and to be honest I don't know if it's even making a difference to my game, or if the game is ignoring it and reading Shimrod's instead. I've certainly never had conflict from them.
Your best bet is to download Shimrod's version, and then if you feel like this one might be adding more or different stuff than Shimrod's, then you could try adding this one back in alongside it and see if that fixes your problem.

I did as suggested and Carrigon's mod (v.8) shows up fine and seems to work well (tested it with two seperate quests). However, I'm now unable to do P&N quests or fulfill P&N related responsibilities as all items from that expansion (citrus fruit, bird whistles, boarding blades etc.) has disappeared from the Village Shop inventory.

I'm fearing a complete re-install of the game is needed to make this shopping mod work but for now I'll forego shopping mods and test whether that might solve the problem at a later date D:

Thanks for your support :)

Are you sure it's Shimrod's mod you're using? His goes up to V3.
It's Carrigon's village shop mod that goes up to V8, and that's only for the base game.
If it is Carrigon's that you're using, it would explain why your P&N stuff has disappeared, so perhaps no need for a re-install.

[ravenman2334]

I can not seem to install this mod

I'd need a bit more information than that.
Have you set up your mod folders with the correct files in place?
If you have, do other mods work for you?

Ah, sorry for the late reply - I got the names switched in my last reply.
I meant that I'd tried out Carrigon's village shop mod.
