Base Game Improvements
New Inbox Notifications: In an effort to streamline pop ups and notifications, plus refresh yourself on what your Sims got up to during your last play session, we’ve designed a new inbox system for Sim and SimTown news! The envelope icon is located in the bottom right-hand navigation next to the town map (which now nests the Globe icon/Social button too). You will now be notified when your Sims finish actions, finish a work shift, get a promotion, when construction finishes and more! Your Inbox will also let you know what's happened in your SimTown while you've been away, and also give you the ability to go straight to the location of your Sim or completed construction via the new green map icon!
Active Tasks - Menu Refresh: Have you ever want to know what live events are coming up next or what you can look forward to, without checking out our blog notes? Well, we've refreshed the Active Tasks menu so it's more like a calendar and easier to navigate! You’ll notice that tasks are now split into two tabs: Active and Upcoming!
The ‘Active’ tab shows what is available to start now and what you’re still able to complete within the remaining time available. Check out the Upcoming tab to find a list of all the current update's Live Events! Events are ordered by the start date, and once they begin it will disappear from 'upcoming' and move into 'active'. When there is less than 24 hours to go until it starts, it turns into a countdown!
Hot Tip: Click the new magnifying glass next to the task to explore the event requirements in more detail. It will open an exploded view so you can have a closer look of the prizes you’re able to earn!

Changes:
Influence Island: Gambling was much easier in season 29 "Luxury Lounge" (Unfortunately just for this one season.)
When opening the daily rewards there is a flashing hand to show the button to get back to the game.
The picture after resetting the game has been changed.
After tapping „Start a new game“ I was still able to decide if I want to download the latest saved data or not.
The tutorial when starting a new game has been changed.
