I'm not saying this thread is accurate, and I don't have the screenshot, sorry, but I got a texture glitch yesterday which showed a vertical line of red, yellow and green circles (traffic lights?) and a series of little eggs in various states: whole, cracked, several broken shells and yolks/splatters.

The broken eggs are from the Halloween update. We were able to egg our neighbors buildings.

Oh yeah... duh... Forgot all about that. Carry on then.

Does anyone know when this update will come?

I just hope to have 100 friends by the time it does, in case it it is social inter-active. (only 50 more to go lol)

I'm a bit worried about this one. Whacking Day is on May 10th, meaning this event could run from April to May. I'm getting married in April and going on our honeymoon late April / early May, which would leave me with no time to get all the limited items in time. I'd hate to have to cancel my honeymoon because of this update; my wife would kill me!

I'm joking of course. She'd probably just divorce me.

Dude, get your priorities straight. :twisted:

Most hotels have wifi. If not, I think you can purchase a portable hot spot.

I'll be relying on hotel wifi, although the wife probably won't be too happy about me playing games all the time. I'll probably have to wait until my wife gets drunk, falls asleep and then I can tap myself out. Wait, I think that came out wrong...

Its 4:30am here and that made me lol for real, sorry neighbourinos

Thanks for the info but every time I read one of these I get let down when nothing happens or something less awesome comes out. Another event involving neighbors would alienate the android users and I'm not sure if they want that. Hope this is true but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Edit: huh it says 2 May, 2013. Interesting

The items you wrote are of concerns. For example, if the Whacking Day event is on May 10th, why have it end on May 2nd? Whacking Day is purely a Springfield creation - so why end it before the show said it would even start?

Then there's the Android users. Based on what is stated, the game once again heavily relies on visiting neighbors. But Android users cannot do this. Either they miss out on this fun (possible) or Android users finally get access to Origin. Will that cause crashes?

Additionally, some of the typing/spelling mistakes I read in these files also makes my suspicious. If people re-typed in everything by hand, then never mind. But if these items are copied and pasted from the raw files, there just seemed to be too many spelling mistakes to believe all of this is real (and yes, I'm aware that they do occur, such as in the "WordWide News", but not to this level).

Lastly, I join the others who feel this update is unusually large. If true - HOORAY! :mrgreen: However, even I worry about having enough land to nicely accommodate (meaning having enough space, parking spaces, trees, etc. to look good) all of the items. Even if I do, I won't have much land left over for future updates - at least not without tearing down the nice areas of my town. This, to me, would defeat one of the goals of the game, which is partly to make everything look like a real town (as demonstrated by even the Alternative Springfield). This means more land would HAVE to come (at some point).

So thanks for the potential update news - it sounds exciting. And I do hope parts of it become reality. But until it is installed, I will happily play along and save up for that huge magnifying glass. :)

LOL! It's O.K. for you to say that you'll tap your wife. Now, if others were to say this, well... :mrgreen:

This update does look bigger than ever before but I'm keeping the faith dudes! I only started playing around they time of the Halloween update but I can only imagine how huge that must have seemed. The Christmas update was absolutely massive - the weather and every item changed appearance remember Aren't we coming up to the anniversary of the game? Isn't the game more popular than ever? If I was EA I'd want to blow people away with an update that cemented the game's place in the market. So I have a feeling that this is going to be so awesome our heads are going to explode.


O whacking day, o whacking day,
Our hallowed snake-skull cracking day.
We'll break their backs,
Gouge out their eyes,
Their evil hearts,
We'll pulverise.
O whacking day, o whacking day,
May God bestow His grace on thee.

Amen.
