Didn't one of the other people who read the files say they say sAw some deal that gives u SVT , some doughnuts, a mystery box and or a box "with his belongings" for $14.99? Pretty sure it was in there somewhere. May be that promo. Never heard anything about a Frinks Lab promo or the observatory/Tire fire deal but wouldnt mind that being two of the last few items I need. The update was probably one of those deals getting ready to be activated later today.

And damn, talk about derailment lmao. This place must be a lot of your facebook's lmao.

I didn't see that in the update post. Maybe I missed it?

I am going to be ticked off if they have done yet another premium item deal. I lost 75 donuts on the Lair/Sign because I already had them. Now I may lose even more? Well.....I'm done buying things. I'll just wait till they offer them at a discount later on.

Awesome marketing, that one.

I'm hoping that this information is wrong. I shrugged off losing the 75 donuts because of the stockings thing but losing more? Yeah. Not happy.

Two things:

1) About the update; You can now collect from Burns mansion.

2) About crashing; I have all the land, all the buildings, lots of decoration and have never had a crash. Is it possible that You have old devices?

Nope. iPhone 5 and iPad mini. Crashes like a mutha.

Well, I just crashed. I hadn't crashed in days. So the update must have been to increase instability. /sarcasm lol

It was in this spoiler thread about Christmas. He had a lot of info that pretty much came true. EA switched the original dates and went from 25% of day old doughnuts to 25% more. Even had the convo for the first deal Gil offered. The first to mention anything about the Burns mansion and Smithers and the Lair/Sign deal too. Sounds like they've been damn near on point besides the dates. EA could have always changed their mind tho. We'll see

I wonder if SVT really means Santa Village Tree. The person assumed it was Squeaky Voice Teen because that is what we call him (SVT) but we actually had a promo for the Santa Village and Tree. I'm just saying, maybe the file was misread? What are his belongings? And what is with the 2018 dates? LOL they sure are hopeful that people will still be playing...aren' they?

I'm not being difficult, OK maybe I am hahaha. I'm just hoping they don't do any more special deals because it is just motivating me to stop buying things and just wait.

Yes. I know the person has been spot on with the reading of the files and clearly there is something coming hence the update today. Now it's just a matter of figuring it all out. I love a good mystery!

i haven't seen anything new with this update. as for gil, the only reason i know he showed up for that sign/volcano lair special was because other people mentioned it. he never showed up for me.

i was hoping that this update would give the characters quests that involve either Burns Manor or Pimento Grove. I like having these buildings, but I would love it if there were quests to go along with them. Maybe they are coming once Smithers is done with his bender?

False. I have all the land and I am completely stable.

Really?? Im almost at all the land but stopped buying as im crashing once everytime i go on the collection, although yes it has been dicussed that i have a heavily decorated town :( I personally think it bare lol

I had all the land and was stable until I made a hedge maze on Burns land. Getting rid of he maze did not fix that.

1. I collected from Burn Manor before the update.
2. Yes, I'm sure my device doesn't help me; (iPhone 4s).

I myself rarely crash on my 4s. My wife on the other hand with her 5 crashes at least 3 times in a day. Usually has to hard reset to stop it then its fine.

how big was your hedge maze? I personally think since the xmas update the crashing issues just got worse and worse,next update all i want is a stability / sort the crashing issues out more than any charactor or building cos i want to decorate my town as i see fit otherwise whats the point :(

I just received an update. I think it was 4 parts with about 4 megs. Haven't noticed any differences yet. Has anyone noticed anything different?
