Gingerbread house stop upgrading....

They need to fix this for us we didn't know this would happen if they did say it would happen well I did not see or know about it I want the fully upgraded house.... And 100 donuts to upgrade it... I could use that for other rewards.... And lyk I said I can't even buy donuts now :(,

I was halfway through the final task for the Gingerbread House. So frustrating EA want us to spend donuts to finish it off!

My characters are still busy in the gingerbread house, working to get to level 5.... hopefully. Or I have to spend 30 donuts to update to level 5. They finish in about an hour, I'm gonna wait and see what happens.
When I tap the gingerbread house, it doesn't give me a list of characters in there tho. I needed Moe because he has to design the zoo logo, he's in he gingerbread house and will be rewarded with mistletoe when he's finished according to the pop up.

I too was on the last task. After the rollover, it said 20 donuts to level up the house. So I did.

It did NOTHING but eat my 20 donuts. Now it says 190 donuts to complete. I am super peeeeeeeved and I really should open a ticket except that I never have good luck with Tapped Out and support. Really regretting buying donuts during the Black Friday weekend event at this point.

Even if I misinterpreted and it was 20 donuts to finish the last task, it STILL should have been level 5/5. Otherwise what was the point?! ARG!

So Ned finished at gingerbread house and no tasks..... I have to use donuts....
Please let us finish it with tasks again not donuts.... Even if it just gives us money for rewards or nothing I just want a fully upgraded gingerbread house :cry:

FWI, it won't let you store it right now either :(

A very kind CS rep DID offer to refund the donuts that were eaten when I rushed the task and it didn't upgrade, but I wish they had been able to put in a request for a completed house. It was 20 donuts to complete the task. It's 190 now. No thank you.

Kind of unlucky with EA and more likely my brain this week. Had an issue similar to this on the Sims 3 store (accidentally bought a set on the daily deal that I already had everything in individually...I swear it was a standard "download" button when I clicked and not a purchase button) but I didn't bother contacting as it wasn't a lot of points, I probably wasn't paying as much attention as I should have been and they gave some freebie points for the holidays anyway that were more than what I spent. :P

The characters finished their work, and my gingerbread house is now level 5 :D

Didn't realize we couldn't keep going when act two started!

Same! You can only upgrade it with donuts! :roll:

Hey guys,
Fourm lurker here, lol

I was just starting level 3 in the GB house. It's not worth 120 donuts to upgrade. Can't store it. Sure not happy with this. No notice on anything changing to next set of prizes and having to collect mistletoe from the Merrymakers and Moe's Zoo. All the crafts have changed too...
EA's starting to really get sloppy and lack on this type of stuff... I'm working two jobs, this game should be a quick break not more stress.

Hope they fix it soon.

I'm going to play devils advocate (hope I don't take too much heat...). Usually there is some form of "currency" we can hoard at the end of an act to carry over to the next to get a jump on start. Usually things you drop in neighbour's towns or not collect from a building, etc. I know there was talk on here about holding their snowmen and gingerbread houses on the last task be for the 5th upgrade in the hopes of gaining 2500+ for each building in the new currency.

I actually think this is not a glitch but EA purposely making those buildings part of act 1 only. No hoarding tricks to get a giant head start on the next act. If you didn't fully upgrade because of this reason then you can't really be upset by this. If you were trying to get it there legitimately and just ran out of time then that is kinda crappy but also part of the game that not everyone makes it to the very end of the act.

I hope I didn't offend or provoke a backlash but it's just my 2 cents. :)
