1:00pm (est): Update has hit the Android Market. Check your Google Play store for the update. If it doesn’t show right away be patient, it will. And again this is not a Level/new content update. This is just an update to remove Christmas/snow from the game. So you do not have to update right away.
12:50pm (est): This update has just removed Christmas my fellow tappers. Not sure if EA has an in game update planned for later today (just to keep us on our toes) or later this week. BUT (as CGuy reminded me) if you are close to the 30,000 gift card level DO NOT Update. You will not be forced to update and you can still achieve the last prize. There’s nothing new in the update (except no snow and melted snowmen) so if you’re close to hitting 30,000 don’t update the game my friends!
12:40pm (est): It you’re playing on an Apple device the update is here! Check your iTunes store for the App Update! It’s installing as we speak on mine!
Android users…my phone is standing by waiting the update! I’ll let you know as soon as it’s here…

Just logged on. Forced to update to continue, I dont know if this has happened to anyone else, just giving the heads up that EA is onto the last minute gift card grab. Jen
Yah…it has been going on all day. They usually only give you 24 to 48 hrs before you are forced to update.
Yeah I can’t seem to get it either maybe it will be released tomorrow
I had to restart both of my devices a few times to get it to trigger. Sorry.
I have tried everything I know to try and after update loaded game crashes and won’t open. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled. Noticeon EA sITE that others are having this problem too.
Unfortunately, sometimes this happens with updates. You can try this “nuclear” option (no it won’t blow up your town…everything will be saved because it’s stored on EA’s servers not your device)..or start with some of the other methods listed in the post (like freeing up space on the device, try logging in from another device etc) THEN do the “Nuclear Option”. If that still doesn’t work your best bet is to try to contact EA using the steps Bunny’s outlined here.
Hope that helps and hope you get your game back soon! 🙂
You’re not alone. My game is doing this and I’ve submitted an EA help ticket.
I understand a lot of people are having this problem. Stinks being us. Sounds like some kind of update glitch. EA needs to get busy.
Is anybody having trouble with the game crashing after you tap to continue? It does this on Apple device and android device.
Try hard closing the App (via tasks & closing open apps) and restarting it. Usually that helps refresh it. 🙂
Kindle store hasn’t put out update yet. Anybody else with this problem?
My kiddo plays on Kindle and her game automatically updated about an hour ago.
I got my snowhindu on my last spin! I got the abominable snow monster the other day. So I now have all the wheel prizes! Yay! I can’t believe I got it on my last spin!!!
There is something new! You’ll notice when logging in and visiting your friends, the menu’s changed. It”s black and looks prette good actually. One problem so far: I want to delete friends, but I don’t know why, I can only see friend requests. Can anyone figure this out?:)
I think this is a Apple update only. My Android still looks the same. BUT to delete friends just follow the guidelines in this post here 🙂
I’m having the same issue… Vacant figure out how to access my list of friends and delete… The orange origin logo is just for logging out… Maybe it’s a glitch and they will fix it when another update comes through (hopefully that means the update will be coming quick, so no need to fix the small glitch now… ::fingers crossed::)
Otherwise, it does look pretty cool…
Thanks for keeping us up to date, Alissa! 🙂
You got it! 🙂
i have updated tsto today and the town ive logged into is not mine!! i been playing a year my donuts are gone, my cash is gone yet i still have all my friends!! is there a way to fix this? plz help im gutted
This happens sometimes. The most important thing to do it to not panic. If the town is not yours log out of it immediately. Then log back in as you normally would. This should fix it 🙂
The google play store update says something about sewers clogged with dumped xmas trees and mysterious murders. Sounds pretty intriguing…
Uh huh…could mean the legal team is coming…or it could just mean EA is messing with us! We’ll find out soon 🙂
Are the spins gone too?
So there’s no option to buy prizes not won on the Wheel of all the F’s?
FRAK. Never mind. I can see there’s no way for me to get Clausco: on Kindle, it is an automatic update. I couldn’t choose to wait (though it likely wouldn’t have mattered for a token glitch victim). It was a fun event, with lots of free stuff that I love, but I am sad that the spot I created between Costington’s and King Homer’s skyscraper is going to be empty. WhywhyWHY couldn’t they have offered the wheel prizes for the 10 donuts they gave us for Christmas? or the bazillions of dollars we landed upon ad nauseum?
:::sigh:::
on a more positive note, I am happy to report that the Present Depot, the Holiday Tree, and even Santa’s Workshop *all* fit behind King Homer’s. So now that non-earning decoration is actually earning quite a bit… (Elf House would have fit behind it, too, but I made a home for it in my hedge maze of storybook strangeness.)
They also changed how you add your friends.

The snow’s gone 🙁
Seeing as we dont have to update just yet, would you guys mind helping me reach 30K gift cards? 😀 Would be immensely appreciated <3

FYI: If for some reason you want to delay this update (for example, you are close to 30k Gift Cards, or something like that), you do NOT immediately have to update.
You likely have anywhere from 1/2 day to 2 days before you will be forced to update (from past experience).
(or until the Bunny sneaks in and changes all while you sleep) 😉
The update details are… Interesting…
xD
Oooh, the way to log into my Origin account has changed!
Or, at least, it looks different now!
