How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? app kept crashing and stuck on load screen
What do you expect to see? the sims mobile loading screen and then a rewards page with items
Connection Type Wifi
Please select your region Europe
Country France
So I live in France and I know the app was having a lot of problems today in europe because I saw on reddit.
I was playing like normal and then the app went to the loading / blue screen and was stuck there. I put my phone down and then a few seconds later I see it open/ working again and it says “you received these awards !”
and it shows the “trailblazer treadmill” with all its colours unlocked.
i very confused and thought it was a weird bug especially because i already had this item in my inventory. then I realized a few minutes later that around 500 sim cash was taken from my account
I don’t know what happened when it was frozen but it took 500 sim cash that I have been saving for ages and gave me an item I don’t want and already owned.
I tried to contact the EA support but they said they couldn’t give me a refund and to try posting here.
I am very upset and confused how this could happy I just want my sim cash back. Has this happened for anyone else ? anyone have an idea how to get a refund of the 500 sim cash ? is it possible to
reset my account back to before this happened ? any help would be great

@24paris I guess the options are different from one region to another.
I live in Norway and there is no option for chat or phone call, only email.
I will ask what you can do to get help.
