NEW UPDATE AVAILABLE! :smiley: So.. What do you guys think so far?? I like it :blush: Pros I like... the aesthetic and new careers in the Waterfront District! that the Waterfront District was free! (but you still have to unlock the buildings) the new UI of the game. I think it seems a bit more organized and easier to navigate than the previous one that they are rewarding more sim cash for quests :smile: that the storage is slightly more organized (however I still think that it should be separated in categories) Llamazoom is cute and has simple and easy tasks that don't take 10 hours to doCons: I am not sure how I feel about them removing the daily task + tickets. The daily task was useful for collecting fashion gems. LLamaZoom is cute but I feel like there are not as many rewards as the daily task had I dislike that they increased prices of land expansions and certain furniture and CAS styles, like how the Peacock Pizazz Chair was tickets only, and now it costs 8,990 coins + 5 llama tickets. (Should've used the tickets while I had the chance) I wish that the tickets we had before could've been converted to sim coins or sim cash, since we had a bunch of them from all the events we did. I wish that the cars and the new careers that were added or are coming soon to Sims Mobile could be added to Sims 4 PC (Wellness Guru, Science, Space Explorer, Marine Biologist, Dance Instructor) *nervous laugh* Still no pools or beach :# Glitches?: There is a yellow arrow pointing to the empty corner of the screen, from the previous event Eyebrows were removed from sim after update? The same sim player icons were showing up twice in different slots (but I think it got resolved once it updated)Write back any feedback (good and/or constructive) you may have about the new update or fun things you have noticed below :smile: Also, if you have any suggestions for improvements about the overall game, head over to my other post to voice your concerns or share your awesome suggestions!

I enjoy the simplicity of the LlamaZoom events (and the nod to Llamas once again) and I enjoy the frequency of the van showing up. It provides a great distraction from just sending my sims to work or socializing ad nauseam. I'm not sure yet if the rewards equal out. If someone is unable to login every four hours, is the original to-do list better or is it worse? I love the UI changes, it makes it so much easier to keep track of multiple sims without having to switch locations over and over again to find out how much time they have left on an activity. It also feels more intuitive. I'm eager to try out the new careers, I love variety. I do wish they had added some playable Sim slots to spread the workload. I have four Sims who are established in their career and, while I really want to try out the new careers, I'm also desperate for sim coins, because it seems everything past level 30 has increased in price drastically. An outfit I had been eyeing casually jumped from 7000 to 10000 sim coins + llama tokens. Eek! I do like that simcash seems easier to obtain. I reluctantly purchased simcash last month to get the fireplace (I say reluctantly because, most games, aren't such an obvious cash grab. I mean, literally nothing in the Sims Mobile isn't available in Sims 4 , so they aren't designing new items). I'm more apt to pay real cash for games that are truly F2P on everything. Charging simcash for different room designs? That's unfortunate and I'm hesitant to spend any more cash because of it. Simcash should be an above and beyond award. Like a basic shower +10 energy or something of that nature. It shouldn't be the starting point for anything (like committing the time to unlocking a hobby/career reward only to discover one item requires simcash to buy -- fail!)I enjoy that the fashion gems reward increased from 2 to 4. Although Izzy Fashions are incredibly hit or miss (I'm looking at you floral crop top >.<), I like having the chance to get something good. And Izzy Fashions are great because they are above and beyond normal clothes (they add a bonus to certain things). TL;DR All in all, I'm liking that the waterfront and buildings are made available. Obviously disappointed in the increase of cost on some things, curious how the LlamaZoom dailies will work vs. the old model, Love the UI changes, and hope the events continue to award SimCash, while disliking the system as it is.

I am happy to have the waterfront, two new jobs, can level to 50 and variety of quests.What i hate is the increase of cost! The job still take so long to complete with no increase of pay.Im disappointed of the tickets. What i had were exchanged for little llama tickets.In a nut shell everything costs to high for me to enjoy the game.

I'm not a huge fan of the Llamazoom tickets. If you put my house and person tokens together I had hundreds, yet only got 12 llama tickets. Seriously? That really aggravated me. I feel like they took a lot of progress away from all of us, then tried to pretend like the replacement is easier, when I don't agree. I don't like how I can't choose how long my events are if I want llama tickets, when the daily list was simple and let you complete events however you wanted. As everyone else is saying, it's also crappy that they upped the price of everything to make up for tickets being gone, and made a lot of things cost sim bucks now that didn't before. I hope they change this soon or I'm probably done with the game, it's starting to get monotonous anyway. :(

@rafaeljonas I like that the Llamazoom is pretty random. It’s not the same thing every time, or at least I haven’t seen any lists that are repeating itself and now we can interact with random objects around the house without wasting energy, which is pretty cool. I do miss the daily reminder to change my look though. I also like how it gives you the option to direct the actions towards a specific theme. Like if you are working on relationships or a career story, etc. "BellaRocks;c-16691822" wrote:I'm not a huge fan of the Llamazoom tickets.

I had over 2,000 tickets and now I have 15 llama tickets. I don’t understand that. And now things that were ticket-only items cost 2,000-13,000 coins :unamused: "floraboraamor;c-16691773" wrote:I am happy to have the waterfront, two new jobs, can level to 50 and variety of quests.What i hate is the increase of cost!

Obviously disappointed in the increase of cost on some things, curious how the LlamaZoom dailies will work vs. the old model, Love the UI changes, and hope the events continue to award SimCash, while disliking the system as it is. Yupp! My land expansion went from about 7,000 to 10,000. I checked my friends and it went from about 15,000 to 24,000. Not cool. But they did also decrease the costs of some things. I agree that simcash should be for really rewarding things, like a bed that gives full energy restoration, something unique to sims mobile, or like the person slots. But not 2,000 for a hot tub when a career story is 600 and a hairstyle is almost 500. This system is all over the place.

So before I updated I was grinding to get enough simoleons for land expansion. My next expansion was to cost 11000. I was also trying to get enough to buy my next room. I'd had 34000 simoleons or so. Then I read the description and was like "Waterfront?? Finally?? Whaaaaaat?" and updated it. Upon opening the game immediately and got an in-game message that said I had to plots of land cleared and was like "Whaaaaat?? They gave me land, too?? Well, what an update!" I went to my home and looked all around and the was no newly cleared land! So, confused and a little peeved, I clicked on the next plot of land to clear and it costs 22000 AND SOME DAGGONE LLAMA TOKENS!!! WTBH??? I have contacted EA and got that semi condescending standardized email response with the ol' *we're going to send this to the developers BS. 100 SIMOLEONS WILL NOT FIX THIS. WHY DID MY LAND PRICE DOUBLE?? ALL I WANT IS THE PRICE RESET TO THE 11000 THAT IT WAS, OR MY 2 CLEARED LAND SPACES FOR FREE. So I'm excited for Waterfront but I'm super PO'd about that land thing. The process going up on things is very frustrating. I'd also acquired thousands of Sim tickets and I think I got like, 24 Llama tokens. Ugh. Come on, EA. I really liked this game. I made purchases to support this thing because I enjoyed it a lot. Now I'm bummed. ☹

This Llama stuff is all new to me. I did play for a little bit when the game released. And maybe spent around $100. But it got repetitive for me! I do really love my home that I made. I even made some install trips just to view my home for a few mins. But nothing really compelled me to stay because of the little gain received for much work. I would recommend some type of mini games. I came back because I have worked my way to 80 donuts per 4hrs in Simpsons. So since I have such ease in that game now I decided to give this a try again to see what progress has been made. I see the game is on the leaderboards also so I will try this game briefly and see if it captures my attention. Still wanting a horses running painting or maybe a horse standing statue.

I prefer one currency such as Llama tickets vs trying to obtain 3 different types of currency for one item. I think that was a better move. Prices aren't unbearable to me at this point. I feel its something to keep you busy. It was pretty easy and simple to get whatever without any work really before.

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!!

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!

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?

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.

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 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.

Strongly request EA to add cupcakes as part of the Ilama zoom rewards. I miss how we get at least one cupcake everyday. Now the cupcakes are so random. I haven't gotten one 2 days in a row.

We could get at least a cupcake a day, but we have to complete all tasks from Llamazoom to complete the quest: "Llama-O-Rama", which gives us 20 XP and 1 cupcake. But I agree it's hard to get cupcakes since the llamazoom basically arrives 2x a day or something like that and I might not have completed the previous llamazoom tasks on time, due to having things to do in my personal life and not being able to play. I was at 0 cupcakes all week, but since I didn't have class today, I was able to get a cupcake.

Hello, I’m doing the LlamaZoom tasks to completion but i’m not getting the tokens at the end of it. Any help?

Sorry, I'm not sure. The button should show up that says to collect rewards.
Double check to make sure you're doing the right task or that it doesn't say to do multiple shifts/hangouts.
If not, force-close the app, make sure its fully updated, and see if it works when you open it again.
If it continues, I would send a report to EA.

The "Llama-O-Rama" quest doesn't last forever. Mine are gone after finishing the qhes multiple times. After that, zero cupcakes. It sucks.
