If you've got the Deals tab in your game, could someone please explain what kind of deals you can get for what price? Would like to see whether the people who don't have the Deals tab are missing out anything good...

Is it supposed to snow in other places of SimTown, etc? Like the park? Or can you only make it snow via weather machines on home lots?

(First time playing SFP at this time of year so really curious...)

During some special events, EA will control the weather in all locations, both home lots and community lots such as the park. They will make it rainstorm or snow .. whatever goes with the story line. You will probably see snow everywhere.

By the way, at those times, if you choose, you can use a weather machine to change a home lot's weather.

Yeah I know all this. I mean like, just at Christmas time in general?

No, unless part of the Christmas quest calls for it they don’t change the weather around town. They do have Santa and his reindeer fly through town. You can see him if you hang out in the town view screen.

Okay cool thank you! I saw people posting on social media about them getting all excited about snow in SimTown, and it was confusing me. And yes I have seen Santa flying around. Thanks!

There's some posted in the beginning of thread. I just got a deal tab, did not have one yesterday. Here's some pictures.

Some items are unlock plus 1 free while others are just 1 free. So read info carefully. Some items were in my mystery box pool of un-won items. If I can buy for low ingame currency price, I might increase my odds for other mystery box prizes I'd like to win.

I guess the deals tab could be like the architect’s tab that comes and goes. I hope it comes to my game really soon and with great deals😇

While taking things from the home store or inventory it's shown how many of the objects are stored.

The sell button only appears after placing the objects. Then you can tap them again and sell them.

I was wondering about this. I thought I remembered selling directly from inventory before. Kinda hating this change.
