Don‘t forget to pick up the gifts at the Nightclub from 3rd until 15th of December. Every second day there will appear one Sim of the Firemonkeys‘ Game Team.
Here are screenshots of the gifts of 3rd and 5th of December:

The following will appear once when you first open the game after updating.
You need to update and open the game before the 16th December to get the 10 🔑.

Random question about influence island, has anyone completed it without using SPs ? I usually give after I have collected some if not all of the rare prizes because I know I will never get there.

The ads are not playing, at all, ever. I use them to collect diamonds from the daily news but I also like turn them on to skip tasks during such events. There’s a dark, blank screen with a dot in the center going and going in circles and I have to restart the game to clear it. Bummer!

Do you mean the autoplay ads? I turned them off but I'm getting access to 3X value newsboy ads, which I play when I have time.

Yes and I’m missing out on those 3x news rewards. Any ad, auto play or daily news, if an ad is supposed to play, I get the circling dots so I had to turn auto play off again and dare not “read” the news. I have to reset to get back to the game and lately, when I reset, the app crashes once or twice before it will play properly.

Ok I figured out! It’s the new privacy settings with the recent apple iOS update. I guess can’t watch ads for rewards if I don’t let the monkeys track me. Argh! Put me to a choice I guess… but sometimes it’s still circles anyway :roll:

There was a new update on December 27th/28th. The Maternity Event disappeared after downloading this.

As pointed out by SKatF here, the new fluffy cat from the Influence Island Event "Glamorous Garages" can‘t be sent to the Pet Park. There are no collars for it at the Pet Salon.

The Weather Machine doesn‘t work like it should. After choosing "Make it snow" I have to leave the lot to make it look like it used to in the past. Same after choosing "Blue skies".

1 Make it snow
2 After leaving the lot and coming back
3 Blue skies

Some paintings got a new animation: "Remove dust"
The dust cloud in this animation is a cute idea, but it‘s broken like the smoke machines.
(The other animations have been there since Gallery Francaise update)
