I'm almost finished the game, I'm just starting September in the last store, and I really didn't find it that hard. I think you really need to "multi-task" and work from side to side. Don't ever go from one side to the other with out stocking tables or something on the way. I think Kel had some great tips in her post.
Pinky,
I was able to make expert on almost all levels by quitting the game before the end if I didn't make it. But on 2 levels I miss calculated and was $.50-$1.00 short of expert. Is there any way to repeat those levels with out starting from the begining? I read you say something about repeating stores, that would be ok but how do I do that? Thanks.

Jen

Good morning everyone.

I took a break from this game for the past few days because it was really aggravating me - I cannot get past July on the 4th store - it is ridiculous. It is not fun when I am getting this aggravated. Plus I've been sick so that dosen't help.

I know some of you have completed it so I know it is possible but I don't know what to do anymore.

Anyway, maybe I'll get back to this game tomorrow or Monday but I don't feel like being angry when I am playing games.

Hi Everyone! I've had company here since the day before Thanksgiving and wasn't able to post. But I'm back now and ready to play some new games! Jen, you have to start at January of the store you want to get expert on if you already moved on to the next level. There's no map of the game that lets you choose a specific level which is one of the downfall's of this game. It would be nice to be able to replay the bonus levels because the points are so critical to getting the upgrades you need. Sharon, sorry you've been sick. This is definately not a game to play when you don't feel up to par. I played a few times when I was tired and got really really mad at it. I agree, games shouldn't be so stressful and hopefully the makers of this game realize it and will benefit from this on their next game. Hang in there though, it can be done. I thought it was impossible when I was stuck in the 3rd store for so long but once past that level (Sept. I think), I was okay. Had to still replay some levels but nowhere near like that one! Jeocan, are you still with us?? Happy Gaming Everyone!!! :-)

I have just finished the game. Once you figure out the secret to buying things it is a breeze. I have gotten expert on all of them. Read what they tell you before buying anything. If it says the boys are coming then only buy boy stuff. If the college kids are going back to school then only buy college things. Check the handbook. You actually don't need to get the faster upgrade for a little while so don't worry about quite yet. Buy the new items first and then the upgrades.

Good luck
Heather

But you have to be careful with that. You have to buy things from the beginning the way it is suppose to be boughten or you will get caught up later. If you are having difficulty your best bet is to start fresh and follow what they say is going to happen in the next level. Like the college kids are coming or the seniors are going to be coming in and then check the handbook to see what they like and buy them that. Be sure to get the suckers at the cash registers right away. Otherwise, just keep trying. I got through it. Get past the third building and it is pretty much a breeze.

Yes, the bonus levels are important, you need that money! I was able to buy every upgrade in every store and I always got all the bonus money. For anyone who has trouble with gettting the bonus money, keep paper and a pen close by and write down what the bodies are wearing so you will know what clothes to put back on them.

Jen

Hi everyone.

I am now up to the last few levels on the last store. Getting through the 4th store was stressful and I actually think the last store is easier but I still have to do the final few levels.

BFG now has Fashion Craze - is that game any good?

Sharon

Sharon,
I can't get Fashion Craze to load, the most I ever got of it was 93%. It just hangs there and when I cancel it and try again I keep getting the same thing. I did d-load Christmasville with no problems so its not my puter. I haven't played it yet so I'm not sure what that one is like either.

Jen

I see that two of you have won this game. So I will keep trying. I was very mad at it and put it aside for a few days. Let me tell you where I am stuck: October of the 4th restaurant (Metro). The other ones are like a piece of cake compared to this. I even started from January again twice to buy different upgrades. I've made pages of notes.

I assume I made a fatal error in a previous upgrade because no combination of items works here. Sweater plus tights, dress plus tights, dress plus sweater, dress only, sweater only, or no upgrade at all. I am not given the option of buying an upgrade to the items they want most like those green pants. It says I have to buy the new items first. Well they all just increase the madness as they roam all over the store.

I solved the previous levels by redoing them from January and finally I picked the right upgrades, and/or made enough money to buy the right ones. Right now in this level I have over $1000 and can buy two items but it does not help. It does not satisfy the customers no matter what I buy or don't buy.

Having to redo the levels is annoying. The swearing and exploding is aggravating. I turn the sound down now. I've posted about this in other places but I will not get the new "easier" version. Someone beta tested this obviously and thought it was fair, and two of you solved it. I' m going to try again.

Suze, actually more than two people have finished the game. I read about two of them and that motivated me to keep trying and I finally finished it. I think I've read 4 or 5 people that have finished it now (including me). There are actually two threads here under 'Other Games' about Fashion Fits. I didn't take notes and wish I would have so I could be of more help to those still trying..... just don't give up!! You'll eventually get it. Maybe when Jen finishes the game she'll post some really good tips.... she's great at that!! Happy Gaming!!
