Discriminatory badge?

I just noticed the requirements for the Inspirational Home Improver badge (choose 53 unique furniture upgrades). Am I mistaken, or that is not possible for free account players? To me, it looks like you just can't access that much variety of upgrades without buying them...

  • I achieved this badge with entirely free upgrades. No credits spent at all. I am not even a subscriber

  • By my count, there's currently 48 upgrades that are completely free. So right now, it's not possible to get with only free things unless it counts upgraded items you buy from other players (which it might). However, it's only 5 items away, and I bet it won't be too long before there's 5 new free furniture upgrades -- they've been adding them fairly frequently.

  • @duien: Let me repeat - I got this badge using free upgrades only - I am not a subscriber so they were not even free to subscriber upgrades

  • No, it's possible. Make one of everything (including rugs/doors) and upgrade each item with all of its free upgrades. That's how I got it!

  • I also got this badge using free upgrades only. You get the badge for upgrading 53 pieces of furniture, not for using 53 different upgrades. You could make 53 SDBs and upgrade them all to one of the free options and get the badge.

  • I think it's upgrades on 53 pieces of furniture?  Or just 53 different upgrades, but you can use the same upgrade on different pieces of furniture.

  • Ah-ha! 

    So that's how it works...

    I just love how the Glitch hive-mind can solve any mistery...

    Thanks, everybody!

  • I was able to do it by upgrading 53 pieces of furniture. I'm pretty sure they didn't have to be different unique upgrade options.
