Random Changes: Yard Sale July 2014

Hey there all you summer slackers! 😉

EA decided to do that usual Summertime thing everyone loves to do… a Yard Sale. With it they brought back some items from the past. Really cool stuff I think. Now, we all know that new updates usually bring changes…so here we go…

First thing I noticed, as well as many of our awesome readers, is the change in size of some items that many of us had already. It was especially noticeable if you had an area planned out.

Helter Shelter: Originally it was blocked out on a 5×8 area. It is now on a 4×6. The original I had didn’t have the grid, but you can see from the sidewalk alone the size change. Also due to it is purchasable now with donuts, the payout on it is also premium. $500 & 45XP Every 24 hours.

 

 

Mr. Sparkle Billboard: It still sits on a 1×4 area, the difference is in the Billboard itself. The height of it ran 5 squares diagonally up and length 5 across. Now it is 4 up and 4 across. So kind of condensed slightly.

 

 

Ultrahouse 2: Some readers had stated they thought the size changed, I checked and verified pics of original from Halloween 2013 and now side by side. Still on an 8×9 area. Height unchanged as well as length (unlike Mr. Sparkle where both condensed). Due to it is purchasable now with donuts, the payout on it is also premium. $200 & 22XP Every 8 hours.

 

 

Payout on Cool Brown House has also changed. It pays $6 and 1XP every 5 minutes.

 

Characters Tasks Paying Premium Now: What was once free or earned is now donuts, so that means donut level payouts on tasks. Here are the new prices.

You know what comes next. 🙂

With so many people having technical issues with their games. Uninstall/Reinstall, Clear Cache & Data, etc… do NOT forget to check the Confirm Donut Spend. It will reset. For the rest, just make sure all your settings are still where you want them to be. (Items Menu, tap the lil Italic “i” in top left corner of menu next to vid camera). Those pink sprinklies are precious and it sucks when you lose them.

Got the typical “ROLLBACK” glitch that occurs with some updates. Try the usual Basic Troubleshooting, and if need more help…contact EA.

So there are a few random changes. I am still looking to see if anything more pops ups. I will update this post if I do. What do you think of the new to YOU stuff? Buy any yet? Any changes you see that we have not listed? Let us know.

 

Til Next Time…
