I see your thinking, and glad it worked for you. I would like EA to fix this, though .... it's their upgrade that has screwed things, so its up to them to fix it.
After maybe 20 years of playing Sims in various formats, this happens all the time ... upgrades cause things to go wrong, and eventually wreck the product. I dread to think how much money I've spent over the years on their games that they manage to break with upgrades. I shall wait to see if they do anything, but I'm not holding my breath. This is a free game, so why should they care?
Well the simple answer for that is that there is an ingame purchasing option and trust me, they make sh*t load of $$$ from that so they have intrest in fixing any issue that comes up,
There's nothing EA likes more than tempting people to spend REAL money to facilitate their game-play :D
I'm happy to report that [overnight] something seems to have been fixed. My first 2 clicks on my City's though-bubbles this morning gave me an Expansion item and a Vu item.. And ... I've just had a Neo-Mayor pop up asking to buy some Omega products.
I hope this improvement rolls out to everyone else.
Oh, they've all gone again ... false alarm ☹️
