Game Center neighbors are missing on the Party Boats: https://simsfp.perturbee.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6094

Sim Chase and Influence Island at same time? A second Influence Island? This update features all my least favorite things. At least a new Christmas quest to look forward to.

I seem to have lost my neighbors? I’m still signed into Gamecenter and brought a Sim home after I updated. Now when I open the neighbors tab I just see the one default neighbor. I know I can’t add new neighbors through Gamecenter, I’m just looking to keep my existing friends (who are still listed in my Gamecenter account). I’m also a couple of updates behind on iOS, but that hasn’t changed, only the update is new. Anyway, I’ll report this, but am curious if anyone else is seeing the same thing, or knows why this is happening. Thanks,

This happened to other players as well. There is an own topic for this: https://simsfp.perturbee.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6094

Moments ago I have edited the opening post to add the info and the link.

Ok, thank you..... I missed it the first time I looked through the decorations.

How do you "redeem" the wallpapers and other gifts?

How do you "redeem" the wallpapers and other gifts?

There's a pink tab "FEATURED" in the home store where you can find all of the Christmas decorations, the new ones can be found there as well. They are just recolors of previously existing decorations. The first one is free, additional items cost simoleons (lots of them). I do not see the mentioned candy cane wallpaper in a new color in my game, only the red one we always had. Already have 3 of those listed for free.
