I think FM is raising the limit to see how far people are willing to spend online. If people bite the $19.99 bullet, then that would be standard for future online items. No more cheapies.
OMG! You are so right and it is a bit ridiculous...
Totally agree! I think the popularity of the game has gone to FM's head!

I either had to close and reopen the hobby window, or scroll down to the bottom of the grid and back up to the button to get it to work. Today I could reset on the 1st click. It wasn't as annoying as the lag in building, but it meant I couldn't rush with clicking on the hobbies with long animations, like Chocolatier or quilting, when I had several sims working.

I don't have the architect tab yet since I updated, I know it can take a while to appear. But I did notice that in the regular lots, the empty lot is now shown first, like I always thought it should be!
I'm showing the empty lot first, but I also have the architect tab. Not sure if those 2 things are related.

okay now i've just about had it. i'm on windows phone and still there's no sign of the update not in the online store not anywhere. the link on the official sfp page takes me to the old version of the game in the online store and i'm starting to get slightly upset. god forbid they stop making updates right now and we get stuck with the one and only super-laggy version for the rest of eternity. i'd just... *breathes fire in the general direction of EA*

About 14 hours ago I found this on their FB paige between lots of other posts. Someone asked for the Windows update. Hope, it will be there for you before an important thing starts!

*relieved sigh* Thank you, Erin!! I was genuinely worried they might just.. discontinue the windows phone updates for good. I can comfortably wait now that you've reassured me. Thanks! (hope you're having a magical december full of fairylights or whatnot ^w^)

When first selecting the SP flower from the gardening list, the game now has a pop-up confirming your selection. Now there is no more accidental spending of 20 LPs :)

Today there is 1 free Xmas lantern in the featured items. Free Snow globe yesterday, wonder if we'll get 1 free item each day? Definitely going to be checking!
