Give Izzy's a new try !
As many of you already know, I am very picky about the stuff I want from Izzy. I only keep items from Izzy if they give a bonus to all hobbies or all careers. I also only keep items from Izzy if they have an effect that isn't stupid (no stinky, dirty, etc). I also only keep a few specific items that I want (Superhero suits, men's bracelets, flapper dresses, bouffant dresses and fairy suits). That means that I usually save and wait until I have about 2000 gems before I go shopping at Izzy's and then I re-try until I get what I want (pinning the traits as I get them). Because I am so picky, it had been taking up to 2 hours of trying and up to 2000 gems to get an Izzy item I want to keep.
Yesterday, I went into Izzy's for the first time since September. It gave me good stuff much more quickly than usual. In less than 30 minutes and less than 500 gems I got 2 men's super suites (I now have one for all careers in each color and one for all hobbies in each color). I thought I was so lucky. This morning, I decided to try again. I got a flapper dress in a new color in 10 minutes and less than 300 gems. I don't know if they have increased the chances for good stuff or if I just got lucky, but based on my experience, you might want to give Izzy a new try.
Now I want them to increase the Izzy closet limit. I have 35 items I absolutely love but would love to complete my collection of flapper dresses, bouffant dresses and fairy costumes. If I had closet space, I would also add gladiator and pirate costumes.
