One of the bonuses seems to be an additional sim per house! But you need 200 VIP points, which looks like USD $40 of spending in the online store.

Thanks...I was wondering how we would earn/get VIP points.

When you tap on your letterbox to collect your daily reward a menu suggests a purchase at the online store to earn VIP points and a bonus daily reward.

Can anyone who has updated check to see if they have tabs for orbs in their inventory? I'm seeing posts on Facebook that says they have been removed but can't check because my Android is being persnickety.

Tab for orbs is gone! But when I go to pause a sim's aging, it still has a list of orbs "in inventory." So I guess this means we can't use them to sell or for decoration anymore?

Yes! :( I wonder what comes up when someone taps on an orb they had placed prior to updating...are they still able to sell those or are they unable to sell them?

Nooooo! I've been selling orbs for money. Will have to send them all out to work again.

The tab is gone :( you can still use the orbs for opening venues, pausing a sim or giving a life dream however can't sell them.

I pulled an orb from my other game and placed on the floor and uploaded to the cloud then downloaded the saved file to my updated version. The orb remained on the floor and was able to sell for the usual price...

Maybe create an orb house to sell off as needed. :?
