@ghostbiddy I’m just updating you again to tell you the Eco Workshop is still not playable, though I’ve tried all the fixes on this thread and another thread about a similar issue.
I also just noticed that my Eco Workshop calendar says it’s Tuesday though it is Monday.
I still have a Sims character that I have ‘removed’ but he still appears as a character to interact with in one of my lots. His star icon comes up to perform an action with him but tapping it doesn’t do anything. I believe this is related to my Eco Workshop issue.
It seems the Sims Mobile is getting defunded and that is why no one can get tech service to fix this problem.

@GrnWyr Thanks for sharing the steps that worked for you. I have merged your post with the existing thread about this issue so it will be easier for other players to find it.

I don't believe you will get a compensation, but if you want to try, the best way is to send an in-game ticket. This kind of ticket brings through needed details directly to mobile advisors.
You can read here how to do it.

@SalixCat As I wrote, I'd already opened a ticket that hasn't had a reply since the 17th. It was opened on the 11th. Also, the merge seems to have broken something, as I received a notification that @EA_Sanah had mentioned me in the thread, but I don't see it anymore.

 

This fix is also now buried in a thread five pages long instead of standalone. It was opened separately on purpose.

@GrnWyr The merge didn’t break anything. That happens when a user deletes their message. You get the notification but there is no message anymore.
Your post is marked as the solution on this thread, not buried, and the thread is tagged as Workaround.

So, this happened again; it wasn't tied to ads, as I stopped watching those entirely to see if it'd happen again. I think it was due to a minor rollback/desync after the game claimed that I didn't have an internet connection. The sim with the issue was missing the standard event in cooking; fix still worked (no speed up/rush necessary confirmed), though Standard smile

This bug started when I went to collect rewards from a completed workshop shift, and it said something about a standard hangout, instead. Since then, I cannot start the eco workshop with any of my sims.
