I have followed all the rules on the forum for getting the little people to stop asking for the same stuff! I keep large quantities of wheat, soy, carrots, diamond rings, strawberries! Everyone of them want my saws and axe's!! I can't keep them hostage makes me crazy! I also have a pet peeve that I can't have anything dead on my farm, so I keep at least 30 axes ans 30 saws at all times. Please advise. I keep at least 100 of veggies etc.
they will ask for the item of which you have the most (barn AND silo), the item of which you have the second most and any item of which you have none. If you have 30 axes and 30 saws and these items are at the top of your barn list then the Little People will always come asking for these. Stock up on eggs and at least one other "useless" item - (maybe bacon and eggs or corn bread or even scarves or sweaters or wool?) and make sure that these are always more in number than your saws and axes and you shouldn't have a problem.
Either you love the little people, or hate 'em....I don't think there's an in between.Quote:

Since the update however, I too have noticed they keep asking for the same items....which is not necessarily the largest or least of my inventory items. I have noticed a lot of changes since the update, and not all necessarily in "our" favor.
Maybe SC does read these after all - they're catching on to all our "tricks" :eek:
You may be right about that. They also ask for things lately that I have none off.Quote:

They come nonstop asking my saws or sometimes things that i don't have..I mostly don't sell them because they underpay but when i am wheating until i get too many wheats, they start to come asking for wheat and i sell them.
They have always asked for things we are out of.Quote:

2. products of which you have none in your barn (including axes and saws)
3. products of which you have the most in number in your barn
4. products of which you have the second most in number in your barn
So I will keep wheat as the highest number in my silo and then corn or strawberries as my second highest number in my silo.
I will also keep eggs as the highest in number in my barn and then bacon and eggs or corn bread or some other hard to sell product as the second highest in my barn.
I will also keep at least ONE of every crop in my silo and ONE of every product in my barn .
The little people will then come asking only for the highest or second highest item in either my barn or my silo.
The little buggers are driving me nuts too. They won't leave my saw stock alone and I keep them for the same reason as others have mentioned. They're not my top stocked item though. I'm actually starting to talk to them now, telling the to **** off!!!
I don't care what they ask for. I don't sell them anything except for crops anyway, which you can't get top price for in the shop.
Grow wheat, have at least two hundred in your silo and that's what they will ask for.
Annie I kept mine hostage for 3 1/2 mths. Every now and again I would click on them to ask what they wanted then tell them to wait longer. LOL I picked Greg and Mike. They were the wavers and most patient.Quote:

lol That's what I'm planning to do. I'm currently at 1769/2500 and selling them any crops they want except for rice... and sometimes eggs.Quote:

Ransom notes and everything!
Also if you plant some trees across the driveway from your truck order board you can hardly see them. Makes it a lot easier to ignore them!
Has anyone else noticed that since the Christmas update that two of them will turn up at the same time and ask for the same thing, even when you don't have huge stocks of that item?Quote:

I hate the way she impatiently hits her basket to hurry me along, if I'm contemplating whether to sell to her or not. That usually makes up my mind to send her packing with an empty basket! Nasty little brat she is.
My strategy was to only sell them the crops on the first set of choices. The easy to get/harder to sell crops. Along with bread, eggs, and b&e. The visitor event is a HUGE lifesaver for the achievement. Plus racking up the coins is great. (: hopefully they'll bring it back around for those still needing to sell.Quote:

If the ask for a single coffee, or an ice cream, I usually give them that. I have enough stress with boats and truck orders, I don't worry much about my little neighbors.
Bread is actually an easy sell in the RSS even att full price so you might want to try that out :)Quote:
