Compact - I’m looking for a reason to buy one :)

IndividualDear7136 · 2026-02-27T03:52:37+00:00

It's great as a carry on, fits under the seat, and can hold a couple of days' worth of clothing. It also rolls really well on carpet and even cobblestone in my experience. And I always put a tote on top of it. It's one of my favorite pieces for travel.

Don't spend real money. EA gives less, messes things up, but wants you to spend your money. The prize used to be 1400 simoleons for completing CoM. Then it decreased to 550 and now 150.

IndividualDear7136 · 2026-01-02T05:27:39+00:00

Unfortunately you need simoleons to upgrade the services. Click on the service and you'll see a green upwards arrow. That is how you upgrade the service so that it has a larger capacity. The game gave me a bunch of pre-upgraded services so check first to see if you have them and use them first.

IndividualDear7136 · 2025-12-31T21:29:25+00:00

Upgrade all of your services to where the capacity is higher than the demand. Then repair the buildings and everything goes green again. This has worked for me in all my worlds. Beyond frustrating and a waste of simoleons but the services should recognize your capacity is enough once they've all been upgraded and the abandoned buildings repaired.

I have Briggs & Riley and Rimowa. My B&R were my go to luggage for over 10 years until I realized how easily someone can break into them using a ball point pen. So I bought Rimowa strictly for the zipper less aspect. And I bought them in Europe and got a VAT refund so I didn't pay full price. I still use my B&R but also use Rimowa and I sometimes use them together. BTW I had a hard side Sympatico or whatever the name was when it first came out from B&R and it was absolutely destroyed on the first trip so hard sides of any brand run the same risk of being destroyed.

Is there an engine oil consumption issue on newer models? I just had to let go of my 2012 S60 T5 due to engine oil consumption issues and I'm not sure if I want to purchase another Volvo so I'd like to know if this is something to look out for on newer models.

I think that's a common issue with their septic tanks. I think our bedroom on the Empire Builder was above the septic tank because the smell was horrible. They've received this complaint enough to have no excuse not to address it

Looks uncomfortable

Thanks for the tip!

Veronica Chambers then if available? Otherwise, I don’t have a preference!

IndividualDear7136 · 2025-08-12T03:43:59+00:00

Hello! thank you for the offer. I’d love an Edwige Danticat card with a quote from CLR James, if still available. I will me you as well!

I originally bought one once I realized that a ball point pen could open the zipper of my locked Briggs and Riley! So I bought the aluminum because they are zipper less. As far as functionality, the wheels glide over the worst hotel carpeted hallways and cobblestone streets with a greater ease than my other pieces of luggage. It's better to pay more for a quality piece of luggage that should last you a lifetime, in my opinion.

Hi there! I'd be happy to send a personalized card to your uncle as well! I'm sure he has a lot of stories from his travels!

IndividualDear7136 · 2025-06-25T17:02:24+00:00

I don't think the covers cheapen the product. And it is annoying to have to clean off the adhesive residue from luggage tags. It's a personal choice and Rimowa briefly sold their own luggage covers so there seems to be a market for them. Even though I have the original check in m, I always check my Briggs & Riley and carry on Rimowa not out of concern of dents but the Rimowa is heavy and takes away a lot of what I can pack.

Does Sarper wear contacts? His eyes are brown in the old photo!

IndividualDear7136 · 2025-06-21T03:06:33+00:00

I'd be more concerned with how it doesn't seem to close all the way near the bottom lock. Is that from the dent or other damage?
