Spy Week Game Updates

Alongside the new Quests, furniture, clothing and Skill / Project Items that have dropped into The Sims Social for Spy Week there has also been some small behind the scenes amendments and bug fixes that are very worthy of knowing for all of you The Sims Social addicts.

Some of the changes you may have noticed is that the SimSnap Mini Game icon to the right of The Sims Social game screen know show how many lives you have accumulated and have remaining, so now there is no need to keep clicking on it and entering the Mini Game to know how many lives you have to play with. A few minor changes have also apparently been made to help players achieve SimSnap Points due to complaints of the game being too difficult.

The Strawberry crop will now no longer wither after 5 minutes of it growing which will be great for future Quests that involve planting and harvesting them as you won't need to hang around in game due to being scared of coming back too late.

Another fix that has been asked about for quite some time seems to have made its way finally into the game which is that 'Artifacts' (known to you and us as random garden drops) have been cut down for the Littlehaven Shores Beach House which means there will be less Driftwood, Bottles and Leaves to clear from your sandy shores.

Other minor bug fixes and updates added to the game this week include the cost of spraying your Car to a different colour will now cost 1 Energy, a new music and sound mute and un-mute button has been added to The Sims Social loading screen and scheduled interactions that can't be done by your Sim will now cancel the whole chain of identical actions. For example if you ask your Sim to use the Computer five times and they cannot reach it due to a blockage you will no longer have to manually cancel the interactions one by one.

What do you think of these new game changes, bug fixes and minor updates? Have you noticed any of them already? Is there anything else that you would like to see fixed or changed on the game or any bugs and issues that haven't been addressed in a while?

  3. They haven't fixed my game issues. Stupid game just crashed in the middle of sending a quest request again (as at the end of the birthday quest), so friends won't be able to see the quest. Sims Social robbed me of my birthday scooter, did not drop the original car, gave me not enough time to complete the helicopter quest... and I probably won't finish the luxury yacht quest on time, so NO vehicles, or driving skills, whatsoever for my Sim? :-(

  7. I send out a million requests for items and only a small amount ever get received. I have a decent amount of friends and I know they play often so how come I can't get my gifted items in time to complete any quests. I mean it when I say I can't complete quests because of it. I am really frustrated by this.

  8. I want them to fix how long I have to sit there and wait for my energy when I click a chocolate. If you don't sit there and wait for like 20 seconds each time the game crashes!! How hard is it to make so we can USE the energy we gift to each other every day?? It was way faster even when there was a popup screen!! There's no reason why it shouldn't be instantaneous!

  9. It's been really slow after these changes. It's been lagging so much that it's nearly impossible to make changes to my properties.

    Also, has anyone else had a problem with timed items like the lemonade stand, devil/angel thing and sauna RESTARTING every time you enter the game? For example, the lemonade stand will restart at 6 hours any time I enter the game so it's almost like I have to have the game open for 6 hours for it to count down properly...?

  14. They still have not fixed a main issue that has been going on for weeks: Only one request a day is going through around 10am Australian time which is when that sim comes around with a gift. I can't do anything because I have none of the items required to do anything. I was hoping they would increase the dropping of NEEDED random items instead of just coins and experience points.

  15. Can anyone tell me about the updates to the house value system?
    It's now a button and it also lists clothing value, but ONLY if you've completed a certain wardrobe... That wardrobe doesn't exist!
    I'm lost, have I gotten an update too soon?

  16. collecting the reward from the london week trophy is ofter hitting a snag, so is repairing the slot machine from the vegas week. i have both snags happen over and over. dont know if anyone fixed the snag with the saxophone, i put it in storage after i paid real money to buy it because i kept hitting a snag opening my own sims home. my neighbor who had a sax had everyone hitting a snag when they tried to visit her. as far as the beach litter, there's more than ever. every time i have to reload, my beach is full again. on a bright note, the spy week was my favorite so far.
