I belive Nintendo but I think this might be a April Fools joke by EA. They know we find everything before hand so they put in some fake code to make us panic then surprise its a joke. This could be real but if they really wanted to troll us they would of put in files for a Easter event exactly like the old one. Well joke or not I don't think the update is hitting until tomorrow since the beach house got delayed to today.

That wouldn't be a funny joke, though. A lot of players would just get angry at EA, again.

I'm not if EA would do it but if I ran the game I would definitely do this. Although I would of announced a fake Easter event but either way its still going to be funny.

i agree. I don't remember another App Store update being teased ahead of time with all the info said to be known, that somehow took down an event while the items were still on offer, that also wasn't being mentioned on a certain website known for having info ahead of time.

Lots of red flags so far.

I just realized this would explain one of Homers lines from the level 50 quests. Theres one at the end where hes talking with Helen about being upgraded to premium and says something to the effect of "people around here freak our when we change the prices of houses". Perhaps this change has been on the works for some time...

You have missed nothing. We are just "speculating" on whats to come.

When?

no telling.

Still this prevents only the aspiring farmers of the future. The ones that they have already bought the houses will not be affected.

At some point I had a small farm but I know neighbours that are still going strong.

With that thought in mind shouldn’t EA decrease the money received from a certain number of houses and up? For example if 1 house gets 150$ that should happen until the 25th. Then it could be 1-26 houses would get 125$ up to the 50th. From 50-60 houses 100$ and so on. That would again increase the profit of the farmer but not in excess so a potential farmer would think twice before going on a shopping spree even with an increased price on the houses.

This changes are sure, no matter if the update is real, april fool by ea to those who read the files, or what.
