The Omega Update
Let me see if I get this straight? I can spend 7000 simoleans in the Omega Lab and process something that takes an indeterminate amount of time. When done processing I can then take this item to the ...

An update to Life in Omegaville...
If your processing time is somewhere near 7 hours, you will receive,not 1 but 3 Neo items and 4 regular items.
The other thing is that to upgrade your Omega properties requires not 1 special token (like all other previous specializations) but in fact all must be of the Neo type. When you get to the 1055 upgrade, you are asked for 5 to 6 Neo items, some of which I hadnt collected yet. At that point I was however maxed out in storage because of course I didnt have all the Neo pieces needed to expand from 15 to 20. Big shocker! So I found myself in a situation where I had maxed out storage, wrong combo to upgrade, no NeoSimoleons to buy the right piece and both labs processing new and the research thing on a 7 hour mission. The world and the game grinds to a halt. The solution? Spend 100 simcash to buy the 1 neo piece to upgrade my property, which also used 4 other tokens, thus reducing my storage amount. In the new Omega world, why would the old ordinary pieces be involved. Why did we need the NeoMall when it primarily sells the same stuff as the HQ?
So in a round about way, EA got me to spend money to bail out of a situation that their game had created...(I already had the simcash but you get the idea)
BTW the NeoMall today had a Vu remote for 4600 NeoSims...:eahigh_file:
Five hours of processing to get a double canister, then three more hours to get the items. Total time = EIGHT HOURS. (6 items, 2 Neo and 4 regular).
If I had just gotten the single canisters this would only have taken FOUR HOURS for the same six items. (One hour processing + one hour in lab x two.= 4 hours)
This is just stupid and it makes me think I am stupid for playing.
I had sworn off of EA games at end of 2011. This is my first time back in almost four years. Thought EA had turned over a new leaf. I WAS WRONG.
EA is about to lose my business again.
