Next event.

Prev1
I’ve seen a few rumblings about a new event starting on the 10th. The current event ends on the 10th. WTH? Are EA trying to blow their servers up? With some people scrambling to finish and others trying to get the old one finished, it looks like a Bart screen nightmare. Not even a single day off!
That having been said, I think I like the idea.

    I'm very excited for this new event appearing to do with summer movies.
    All my designs look unfinished because i can't place as many plants, streetlights, and fences as i would like. PLEASE REMOVE THE LIMIT, EA!
  • Looks cool to me... can't wait !
  • It… STINKS it…STINKS!
  • Update now live on UK iOS Store.
  • Thanks for the heads up on the new event. I would usually send all my 500+ characters on 24 hour tasks. So now downloaded the update and just waiting for it to begin.

    I just started the first mission. As much as i appreciate this new content, i do miss how exciting it used to be, when we'd discover what was the new in the game play, not just the same routine like it is now. So many would come here excited and confused, and we all figured it out together.

  • Nothing new to figure out this time. Same old same old, but at least we don't have to work too hard to get it done.

    I had a 4 /5 year absence from they game. Before I left each event had different game play.

    Been back about a year now and eaxh time all the same. I don't mind but is it ever going to change?

    Who knows I guess.

    the game is 10 years old. We are lucky to have any events and the lights on
  • I’m just happy we’re finally getting Troy McClure.
  • My movie district is tightly packed. Gonna have to break some $h%& to be able to include some of this content in there :)

  • I’m a little puzzled about the decorations. In the past you could spend in game currency for event decorations and if you paid donuts you could get fancier decorations that gave a percentage boost to XP. It seems all of the new decorations in recent events have cost donuts but no percentage boost in any of them. My game is at the stage I can afford donuts to buy things (I have plenty of in game cash to convert by selling then rebuying expensive buildings) but it still feels like a bad deal to spend donuts and not get a percentage boost. If I were a new player I’d be discouraged.

    No one is disputing that.

    A little variety wouldn't go a miss.

    Agree. One of the best things about the game for me was seeing what new decorations, igc buildings were available at the start of a new event. Shame its a thing of the past now.

    I did notice some pond/lake type decoration recently. No idea how long it's been available.
