Basically you have to spend real money to earn Simcash in order to play.  Unless you are able to earn Simcash by doing City Achievements.  In my opinion this poorly designed.  At least with the snowflake challenge you could earn enough snowflakes and then you could win something.

PS

I've sent a private message to MAI over 2 weeks ago about an issue in game and I still haven't heard back.  I doubt you will get a response.  Hope you do....

I agree with what you said until the PS - Mai is by far one the most helpful and cooperative folks in this game, she’s great. I’m sure there’s just a misunderstanding as she was away from this forum for a brief period of time. If you have a game issue I suggest you use the in game help section to contact tech support. Good luck.

    Hi everyone,

    @ModernThinker, sorry for the confusion, but please, read the complete FAQ. We also explain that 'some campaigns may need just SimCash, Simoleons or Golden Keys to play'.

    @Jayyllore, just in case you didn't see it - sent you a PM some days ago, you should be able to find it in your inbox (top right corner of the page).

    @PinnacleValley - you noticed my holidays! :D

    For anyone reading this thread: as PinnacleValley was explaining, please, keep in mind if you need help with your game from EA, you should use EA Help to contact us: https://help.ea.com/en/contact-us/

    Thanks!
    -Mai

      Thank you for the response Mai.  Hearing back is always appreciated.

      Still not clear to me how "gift game" is an accurate title for this feature if SimCash, Simoleons or Golden Keys must be spent.  I've never heard of a cost being associated with acquiring what is termed as a "gift".

      No matter.  I just won't be participating in this poorly represented feature.

      Thanks again

      - MT

        @ModernThinker :I belilve they mean you pay something to get a gift from EA. I think so too about the gift game. So in real life you slip a $10 bill to someone for a gift? That is buying a chance of a building.
