Contest awards not given very weird bug ???

15.05.2023 - 02.00 pm. I finished the contest 2nd. I was supposed to get the Big Prize(100 platin Keys, 1000 Sim money) , I got 100 platin keys but my 1000 SimMoney still missing. 😞

Detail of situation

I was in the game to take my prize and I was waiting for the countdown but I wasn't in my capital at this time I was in the green valley, my second city


When the countdown is over ‘you have won the lowest level district league’ I got district league awards. I was shocked Cause I was in the megalopolis league.

I wrote to the mods but they did not help. This is a huge and ridiculous bug.

Has anyone experienced like this before ?

    Hi @Scacciatore and @mbimok,

    Thanks for sending those details through. I've passed them on to flag this as a potential bug. If I have any updates I can share, I'll let you know asap.

  • I had a similar issue just last week. I did not get my rewards in the city album and I entered a help desk request and of course, nothing has happened. I have played this game from the beginning and I have decided to no longer play because this stuff never gets resolved and I spent some of my sim cast to get the city album completed and did not get the rewards. I am not the only player that has had this happen and I doubt that they will ever fix it

  • I have also experienced this problem of not receiving contest rewards, twice now. Both times were for first place in the Megalopolis league, so I'm actually missing 4000 SimCash and 500 platinum keys in total rewards.

    The second time it happened, I was able to get it on video. I wish I could upload it here but it seems like I can't upload videos here.

    As it was for everyone else here, support has been completely useless, even after I showed the video of it happening. What I've noticed is that both times it happened, it was when I opened the contest page the second the contest ended. Not sure if that's relevant to the bug but thought I'd just point that out.

    Hopefully, a mod can see this and bring it up to the relevant technical team, and I'd be more than happy to send the video to show the problem.
