June Treasure Hunt: Clue 9 – Classic Antiques

table lamp Once again there’s a Treasure Hunt in this month’s edition of Prim Perfect – but this month it is slightly different.

There are sixteen stores taking part this month – and instead of finding a token, this month you have to visit the store to discover the prim count of each of the pieces featured in the magazine.

Today’s clue comes Jeannie Moonflower’s store, Classic Antiques on the Bygone Days sim. As the names both suggest, Jeannie specialises in antique furniture and, in her store, you can travel through history, as she has set out her displays in terms of their historical periods.

I loved the archetypal nature of this Victorian lamp – the Chinese willow pattern banded with gold, and the refined frill on the shade with its swags. And the bright blue of the shade captures the Victorian pleasure in extending the colour range as they created new synthetic dyes. A great piece, giving lots to look at and think about.

But Jeannie is doing some very interesting work with sculpties too – and you’ll be hearing more about her in Prim Perfect.

I’ve found the piece – now how do I find the prim count?

You can find out the prim count by right clicking on an item. Then select edit. Make sure that the edit window is fully open (by clicking in the bottom righthand corner if the simple edit menu is showing – as in the first diagram). When the edit menu is fully open and the General tab is showing, then you can read the prim count – as shown in the second diagram.

Remember: to win a prize, find as many prim counts as you can, and send the details to primperfect@gmail.com, including your avatar name and an answer to the tiebreak question (which you’ll find in the magazine). The person to find the most prim counts will win – and in the event of a tie, we will use the tie-breaker.

Also: – you don’t necessarily have to find every prim count to win a prize! Just find as many as you can – by July 10th.

Another clue will be coming very soon!
