@diggaduz No words are needed because I'm sure she's feeling the exact same way I've been!! I never, ever miss out on rewards--even if I don't like them that much, I still complete every single event, heh. I'm glad this didn't happen during Halloween cause if I missed the Halloween decorations/rewards I'd be LIVID.

Hello, my device is Xiaomi Redmi 6.

iOS 10.4.3.0

It worked fine up until the update, now it is only black screen, no sound no nothing for me. It opens with the EA blue screen does a little chime and that 's it after that.

It had happened once before in another update but it was fixed do soon I did not even bother looking into it.

I don't know where the appropriate place is to note these concerns, so if this is not it, then please feel free to remove.

 

Above I posted a screenshot of SimGuruIlya advising all players experiencing this issue to contact Customer Support for compensation. As the SimGurus here on AHQ are well aware, this was a very distressing experience for players in this thread, particularly due to the issue falling on 8 days of a 15 day event. As such, I would not expect many of these players on this thread to complete the event and receive the grand prize of a new career, or even rare items they were hoping for.

 

I'm noting this because some players following Ilya's advice, reached out, received 250 SimCash. In my opinion, that's not anywhere close to the level of resources/time lost from this issue, but so be it. But for the players who reached out and received only 250 simoleons, I feel for them because that's really offensive. I do not believe that many Customer Support staff play TSM, if any at all, and may not realize the value of various currencies within the game. I hope you and other professional staff here at AHQ can somehow pass along the feedback advising the Studio to recommend a suggested compensation value for players who experienced this issue, or other serious ones in the future. Players could then take that screenshot and submit it with their tickets to EAHelp to hopefully receive better and more generous support. These compensation values may mean very little to Customer Support, but it means a lot to players, and 250 simoleons won't cut it when creating and maintaining loyal players. If not SimCash, then some in-game event currency would go a long way to help them catch up.

Thanks. This may be a silly question but will my player ID still be the same now I've went through the tutorial and am showing as level 2? My son also plays and he can see my house from his friends list so it has to be somewhere doesn't it?
