    Fingers crossed this is fixed with the incoming update. If not, has anyone tried adding completely new neighbours or are all attempts at adding people failing?

    One of my missing neighbours sent a request to my 2nd town - which she has never been a neighbour for before. I saw her request and accepted it, but once I accepted she disappeared from that town too. But my 2nd town is still visible on her list (both my towns are, actually).

    I'm missing a few neighbours too. I think only three or four (not sure if I had 99 or 100 neighbours). I would have missed this entirely if it wasn't for this thread.

    Hope something can be done.

    So, while we're at it,
    Dear Friggin EA:



    ...Just returned to home after visiting friends, went to do some designing w/laying water / ground & game quit...
    Also: a few issues require IMMEDIATE ATTENTION:

    #1 As widely known, New Land added does not allow placement of roads, dirt, water, etc & also, new land is preferable along the other side
    #2 Notifications of '30 second Task Completion' at Trash Pile dn't appear & player must remember to clear jobs
    #3 Find Magge game sporadically functions (just failed /froze)
    #4 Occasional 'Item Limit Warnings' continue in & must be raised if new land / items continue to be added...
    #5 Mutant Rabbit & Fairy Kodos occasional tap glitch inadvertantly ports player across town or to Simpson Home
    #6 Occasional graphic glitches w/some overlapping such as Kodos/Kang 'evil chortal' task & Nelson 'play guitar'

    Lastly, further creative input:
    Full season transitions would be quite welcome, particularly after Winter w/at least a couple or a few updates (attached to primary updates of V-Day, & StPats, w/possible full blown Blizzard, & then downgrades to sleet/rain & then maybe thunderstorms w/lightening, or even a Hurricane Event, which would be cannon to that classic episode. Also, optional night mode could be impressive fun, as well as any Phil Hartman characters which 'should' be legally negotiable.

    Finally managed to log in to the forum!

    Yes the more people report this issue the better chance we have of getting something done.

    I have only 10 neighbours who receive my prospectors, 8 of these I'm invisible to. ( the other two are new neighbours so no problem with them) The rest on my list I keep tapping daily to see if I get a response, but nothing.

    It's interesting how it works differently with various players. Oh yeah I forgot, my timer stuck on a task at 53.6 mins...... :shock:

    EA please solve this problem. I really miss one of my best neighbors.
    Can't send any prospectors to her.

    Seriously!!!! This should have been fixed before the event release as it requires neighbor interaction.

    Add: When are they going to fix it? When our neighbor list is completely empty yet we can't add anyone because it says it's full?

    Sadly...same here.

    Many long time friends disappeared, and we are unable to add "friend" them back.

    Worst part, I lost my husband and best friend in this glitch. We have been playing this together since the beginning. It
    just sucks.

    Second worst part...trying to report or get help from EA. I was redirected so many times I gave up.

    Why should EA solve this problem? For this big group it's really no problem. A few players have a problem.
    So we have millions of players with no problem.
    I think this problem will never solved. Like my last problem. Wait and see. :roll:

    Maybe we need to help them out a little. Does anyone know:

    1) What countries the "invisible" neighbors are from? ( corrupt database?)
    From what I've read, seems a lot are from UK and Germany
    2) Is it affecting other EA games?
    I don't play any others.
    3) any other ideas?
    Is this EA or Origin?...which is still EA's problem. Facebook??

    Add: 4) date and update when it happened
    Add: 5) what device are they playing on

    I think the more we keep this thread visible, the more people will come forward to report. Probably a lot just think people have left...wait until they try to add more and the system won't let them.

    Hi Dee - good thinking. Maybe if we list what we know here it may help.

    1) Add the US to the list - I know for sure that I'm missing someone from the US

    2) Not sure - I have a couple of other EA games, but they are ones I don't play with neighbours. On one of them the origin login is broken - so I can't access my stats - but it's been like that for about a year and is likely unrelated to this issue.

    3) Technically they changed the Origin Account to an EA account for everyone, but you can still access your neighbours list through the Origin site... So I'm thinking that they are likely still one in the same. I could be wrong about this, tho. Hopefully someone else knows.

    I believe I saw one person say they went missing a FB neighbour over on the Answets HQ site, but I'm not sure if they reported it in the mass thread that is going.

    I've been trying to provide links to the mass thread if I come across someone with the issue, as have a few others over there, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they will post in it, unfortunately.

    4) For me - I noticed the 4 missing from my list when this thread began (it's actually what prompted me to check)

    5) I'm on an iDevice. The neighbour I have been in contact with (Neuroheart) plays on an android device for the most part, I think...

    I think I've said some or most of this in the thread on answers HQ already, but it doesn't hurt to list it here in case a dev is monitoring the thread here (who knows - it's possible, right?)

    Its probably my fault.

    On my scrabble (EA) game an update rendered me unable to play against my other half. That has been finally fixed but now they have removed him from my neighbours list in TSTO.

    Its a conspiracy I tell you!

    There's another new thread in Bugs & Issues with 6-8 new names on it. I've lost track of the link to report it. Can't we get that somewhere more visible?

    Edit: Some of them are missing, some can't even get to neighbor towns.

    When this first happened to me I logged out of Facebook in the game in case that was having some sort of adverse affect-i haven't been able to log back into it in the game since, so I've lost those neighbours too.
