Up next? Nothing. You’ve finished the Act 3 prize track. Nothing to do but sit back and wait for Act 4 to hit on Tuesday, January 4th.
Thoughts on act 3? Prizes? How are you doing with the prize track? Still, working on it? Sound off below!
Is the “You Forgot-Me-Nots” building going to be producing gift cards forever, and therefore “producing” 3 donuts daily?
Goes to cash
Finished act 3 and have a long wait till act 4, I believe I will be finished my Christmas break and back to work before the final act starts, just putting things into perspective EA,and all addicts 😡🤪🏴
Even this sleigh gets used, how come the old Sea Captain’s sleigh is the only one that its character can’t use. Am I the only one annoyed by this ( I know it’s not a current item but it still bugs me).
I am very annoyed by this 😠😠😡😡😡😠😠
that was one of my gripes, too …. there are times EA does great and thee are times they do the L-EA-Z-Y (Sea Captain’s 🛷 is just L-EA-Z-Y!)
At least I enjoyed 2 out of 4 (technically 3 out of 5 when you include Elf Moe!)
Sideshow Mel’s Sleigh – I ♥️ sending as many Characters in their 🛷 ‘s
You Forgot-Me-Nots Building – I like the Building (doesn’t take up Real Estate, has good animation when in use), the 3 Hour Character Task for Marge Simpson is nice (hey it’s another Prize from a 🎃 Treehouse of Horror Segment!)
I enjoyed Act 3, regardless of 2 Crap Prizes (there is Returning Content worth spending 🍩’s on!), and while I hope for less Crap in Act 4 ….. it’s just awkward doing a Christmas Event into January (they really need to end by New Year’s Eve!) 🤔
