EA - Please, once the wheel is cleared, could you just make the items available for hearts

Hide them in the shadows

He's talking about placing that stuff behind big buildings or items like the Springfield sign.

Ill gladly trade you one of the 5 balloons I won with my 7 spins today for a train or pond.

It costs <5 donuts per spin so, actually, the decorations are really cheap even if what you receive is random. If EA ever started selling the items individually, it is unlikely they will charge less <20 donuts for most items.

You're better off just spending donuts on spins than asking EA to try to sell the items to you a la carte.

If I could I would gladly give you all of the ugly crap I won today for free. I think they should let you sell this junk for in game cash instead of letting it set in my inventory, because I'm not going to use it this stuff is just too ugly.

The pinks of the new items are a bit too harsh, but now, all I really want are the balloons.

I've used some of each item from the wheel, but don't need anymore other than the lamp posts and the balloons.

Spent a ****-load of donuts trying to get lamps posts and balloons and left with:

16 Cherub Birdbaths
06 Fountains of Love
11 I Choo-Choo Choose You Trains
07 Love Benches
71 Lovely Fences
12 Lovely Flower Carts
15 Lovely Gazebos
25 Valentines Ponds

All will sit in my inventory and never be used.

I'd rather spend more per item and get what I can use, rather than wasting time and donuts (real-world cash) on things I don't want.

you do realize the train gives a 2.25% bonus

I have $14,645,506 in cash and have been doing bonus levels since December.

Not trying to brag, but I just don't need the bonus $$ and XPs. I only put duplicate items out if I think they will add to the atmosphere.

Can't understand why EA brought back that wheel, most people hate it.

Only thing it does is giving us frustration and money to EA, I guess reason enough to bring it back.

Disregarding customers wishes and laughing in their faces is not a good business practice. Tends to back fire.

I'm fairly new to the forum and based on some of the posts I've been building my city incredibly slowly. I haven't had the wheel of gifts since the christmas edition and i have no idea what you mean by premium levels. can you point me in the right direction as to what i should be doing to get those?

You basically top out whatever current level the game is on

The current top level in the game is 38 (Courthouse and Judge Snyder). Once you complete the current top level, XPs go towards bonus levels. More XPs are required as you continue bonus levels. At the end of each bonus level, you win either 1, 2, or 3 donuts (blind choice of 3 presents).

As for the wheel of gifts - You have to have the current game update (needs to be downloaded from iTunes, or whatever other systems use). The new icon is Homer with the giant finger and hearts. Once you have the new game update (versus in-game updates that happen automatically when you open the game) you should be given a task to grow roses in Celtus' Farm. This takes 24 hours. Once you harvest the roses, the full Valentine's Day event will begin.

Go to the FAQs and Guides section and you'll find walk-throughs for all the levels and events. It really helped when I got started.
