Revenue from buildings
EA, I would like an explanation regarding the apparent reduction in revenue generated by buildings. I cannot find any notification, announcement, patch note or other communication from EA advising players that the revenue from buildings was going to be reduced. Yet the amount being generated appears to have been reduced by approximately two-thirds virtually overnight. This is extremely concerning and frustrating for players who have invested real money, in-game currency, time and considerable effort into upgrading their buildings specifically to increase the revenue they generate. We have completed additional tasks and spent resources on these upgrades based on the expectation that the advertised benefits would remain meaningful. If this reduction is a glitch or unintended change, please acknowledge the problem and restore the correct revenue as soon as possible. However, if this is an intentional change to the game's economy, then EA needs to provide players with a clear statement explaining: When and why the building revenue was reduced. Why players were not informed beforehand. Whether this was an intended balancing change or something else. Why players were encouraged to spend resources and real money upgrading buildings if their revenue could subsequently be reduced so dramatically without warning. How EA intends to address the fact that item and house prices continue to increase while building revenue has apparently been reduced by around two-thirds. From a player's perspective, this currently feels less like normal game balancing and more like the goalposts have been moved after players have already invested heavily in upgrading their buildings. It also creates the impression that players are being pushed towards completing more Community Market tasks or spending additional real money simply to maintain the progress and earning potential they previously had. That is not a good experience for players who have invested significant time and money into the game. Please clarify whether this is a bug or an intentional change. If it is intentional, please issue a public statement explaining the reason for the change and the impact it is expected to have on players. If it is a bug, please fix it promptly. Players deserve transparency when changes are made that materially affect the value of resources, upgrades and purchases they have already made.114Views5likes6CommentsBug in inventory thesimsfreeplay
Hi, sorry to bother you, but I just wanted to report a bug with the new inventory system: the red notification dot remains in the "new items" section even after viewing everything that has been unlocked, collected, or purchased. Could you please fix that? It really bothers me to see it there all the time. Thanks.14Views1like0CommentsMissing items in the sims freeplay update
I’m stuck on the Back to the Wall Discovery Quest because the task requires me to place a Beach Coffee Table. The problem is that the Beach Coffee Table is completely missing from my Home Store. I checked Living Room, and I don’t even have as much tables/coffee tables showing up that I used to have there before the update. I'm also missing other items and some items get lost after I place them in my inventory. I’ve restarted the game and checked the Home Store multiple times, but the item is still unavailable. This appears to have happened after the recent Build Mode/Home Store update. Since Discovery Quests cannot be canceled, I’m now unable to progress in the game and stuck on the "Back to the wall quest" because of the missing beach coffee table. Can someone from the Sims FreePlay team please confirm whether this is a known bug and provide a fix/workaround? I can provide screenshots and my Player ID if needed.9Views0likes0CommentsCrashes
Hi, a few days ago till yesterday the game was working untill yesterday. The game kept crashing so I decided to reinstall it. I linked it to my EA account but it kept crashing at the “download extra content” part. It keeps saying there has been a mistake. When I tried reinstalling again and pressing to load a new game, it started crashing again, also at the download extra content part or sometimes it doesn’t even reach that stage and just goes out. I don’t know what to do.215Views2likes12CommentsDownload error message
Game will not download recent update data on both iPod Touch and latest iPad model. Both devices have most recent iOS update. Keep getting download error message. Only have access to WiFi. Everything else works just fine, including streaming video content, so it’s not the WiFi connection. Tried hard reset of both devices, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but nothing works. Just keep getting same download error message after a certain amount of download progress. Been hitting the RETRY button for almost an hour how, like an idiot.182Views3likes5CommentsKam Ham stuck against wall in nightclub
I can’t interact with Kam Ham at the nightclub. my last task for the sim chase episode is to check in at the nightclub with this guy but he’s outside on the side walk and it doesn’t let me interact because he’s on the edge. I’ve tried closing out the game and waiting hours to open it back up, i’ve tried sending sims home and back, and i’ve even tried the forcing my sim to throw up by him to force him to move but nothing. PLEASE HELP!!!11Views0likes0CommentsCan you fix this glitch I have been having?
Recently, I have been having a very annoying bug with my Sims Freeplay game. Before I updated my game to the Langraab Developement update, I was on level 26. I had done every requirement to level up except the discovery quest one. I was holding off on doing that requirement because I wanted to finish Sim Springs and build the skiing lodge before levelling up. When I updated the game, I was set back down to level 22. I didn't notice until I had levelled up to level 23 because I had been so busy with the nightmare that is Sim Springs. I have now levelled up to level 24 even though I should be on level 27 by now. The quests that go with each level (i.e the teenagers quest) are marked as done but the game generates a different task (i.e building a professions site) to replace it. Please can you fix this for me without removing the two sims I added while levelling up between level 21 and 24. Thank you.20Views0likes0CommentsMissing Inventory Items!
Paid for these and now they are gone… so mad. You need to not have two pics of the same item. Looks like you have one if you have any in inventory, and one with what the cost will be. Need to make just one pic with two bubbles of this information… one if you have it in inventory, and one with the cost, all on ONE pic. Too convoluted this way. 🤦🏼♀️ So disappointed in this update…283Views4likes20Comments
