If others haven’t noticed, it’s now costing heirlooms (ten!) to create new character after retirement. Used to just a few regular coins. Heirlooms much to valuable to be subbed in like this, and ten is extremely high!

Yikes. No I haven't noticed this!
I haven't made any new characters. I get too attached to my sims LOL but I might retire my sims for the first time soon.
However, I've noticed I've gotten more of the blue heirlooms this week.

Has anyone lost their friends since the update? I had connected with other players previous to the update and then not long after updating they all disappeared. Has something changed with how we connect with other players or is this a bug?

I haven't noticed this in my game. You should probably report it as a bug. I do know that the contacts section always lags, before and after the update. I hope they could find a way to fix that.

I like the new area unlocked, it’s been a long time waiting! The new updates brought to simplify things as well as helped to not have a billion things to do for one task. I don’t have a problem with the prices so far, but I know the time is coming.
But I’m not thrilled with the LlamaZoom. I would like to see the home tickets brought back. Some of us can’t always get online in time to complete the LlamaZoom tasks and so it takes FOREVER to get Llamas to complete upgrades. Home tickets were easier to collect and let us upgrade faster through home events and unlocking items. I still wouldn’t mind having the LlamaZoom if it would be for things of special unlocking or such, but NOT the main source of upgrading and unlocking new items. I know it’s been said before, but it seriously is an issue. I love the game, but when something blocks you from having fun(such as life, because everyone has one) you can’t complete an impossible task and you lose players. If the creators intend to keep the LlamaZoom, at least increase the amount gained from tasks and let us have the option to finish ALL of the first on screen tasks from her before she leaves?
New hobbies too would’ve been a great addition, but sadly none were. Maybe bring in a dojo, pool, track, soccer, etc.?
Second story houses would be a nice addition too!!

I have noticed that the more you do the llamazoom tasks, the more tasks you get. & I also finally received long / standard shifts as llama tasks. So, at least there's that lol As a suggestion, I would like to maybe have the option of choosing what task length we'd like to do to better accommodate those who are not able to play as often; so there would be buttons or a dropdown at the top that say 'Quick', 'Standard', 'Long'. and then we choose the theme for the tasks.
