I built the haunted house on the island in October. It came with its nice fencing as well .

Not sure if you have OneDrive on your WP, but there were issues with the latest update of that, started the same time as they were doing the teasers for the Sims update. I'm wondering if that's been the hold up, ie that it's on Microsofts side! That failed update just disappeared from my phone this morning after having errored a number of times.

Lets just hope we get the update soon!!
Oh, that's great, thank you so much for your effort! Well, it's not optimal news but i think we'll all live, as long as they get the update out. It's still rude of them, though. ... to just withold it like that without offering any kind of explanation (or, god forbid, actually apologise!).

I've been having some OneDrive updating and halting and generally not working properly yesterday, yes. I chalked it up to my malfunctioning SD card (that's also recent but has happened before :/ )

I tend to look up error codes when I get them as I hate things hanging around, so went on line to find it, to find loads of people talking about it, with the same error code, and nothing worked to fix it. Microsoft just removing the update is a similar thing to no response about the SFP update! If that is the reason, it's probably why FM has not really been giving responses, you don't want to bad mouth your business partners in public..... Lets hope the fact I finally got a response means that they are getting closer to resolving it and giving us the update! I did get a sorry for it in their reply, but it was more of a cursory sorry, lol

Regarding retaining the original fence in the island, it's a pity that it's not retroactive. At least it's good to know for future construction.

This is awesome!!

So along with the Japanese Retreat and the Wizard's Cottage the other houses that now keep their unique fencing on the island are the Neo Tokyo, Pro Skater's Dream Pad, Gingerbread House, and Latin Villa.

They now join the Haunted House and the Teen Idol Mansion that have always kept their unique fencing on the island.

That great, but it seems that if you have each of those houses already built before this update...you don't get the unique fencing.

Mine did not...can someone else confirm this?

Sadly, it isn't retroactive.
I have another house that started out on the wizard template and it has island fencing....the new one has the unique lot.

Argh! Okay...guess I'll demolish and rebuild because I want the unique fences.

I also wish our boat houses had a selection of "exterior design looks" and not all the same look.

I would love to rebuild some of the houses in the island for the original fencing. But I am having problems with my ipad2. The latest update has improved the game lag, but I do notice that I still find it hard to move the screen around. Dont know whether Ipad2 is showing its age or it's still part of the game lag not fully corrected. Does anybody with the older units have this problem?

Having similar problems with my old iPad. The problem with moving the screen is usually just with the Simtracker open for me.
