And my last save was 18 hours ago. I hate myself so much right now.

This just happened to me, too. Except it was about 220 LPs. :shock:

On the Doctor and previous updates you would get a pop up saying you didn't have the required amount of resources for a trade and would you like to use LPs. This doesn't happen on the Halloween Update so everyone, please be careful!

Thankfully I had saved my game an hour before and was able to reset it to get my LPs back.

I did this last night, with about 200 LPs, and my save was almost a full day previous. I lost progress on the market place event, Halloween event (which I did last year but didn't finish because of collecting candies, ugh) and badges for 4 sims. I weighed the pros and cons of keeping or resetting and decided to reset and lose all that progress. I don't regret resetting, but I am definitely still kicking myself for that one.

Same thing happened to me. I lost at least 200 lp but decided not to reset since I didn't want to lose my progress. I'm still bummed about it and I'll definitely pay more attention next time I'm trading resources.

Me too! Super bummed. Had to not look at my lp total for a few hours.

:o :shock: :? Makes me very grateful that I only lost a few LPs. I only hit one extra time (I tend to sell resources in multiples of 5) because I turned out to be only short one. I was annoyed that I'd spent them when I didn't mean to and was wondering how it happened. Now I know why and it ticks me off majorly that they removed the pop-up. Way to go FM! Any way to try to make players spend real money! :evil: :twisted: :evil:

How do you reset your game? And I never knew you could save a game's progress manually. How do you save your game? I accidentally lost 25 SPs just now by pressing the Quartz Event Spin Plant Coin Flower Patch, the one that says "Social Points for Constructor Coins." I am so pissed off because SPs are harder to come by than LPs (more expensive too) and I never really cared for this particular spa event.

Thank you for the link. I went and read through it but it doesn't say if you actually get back any LPs or SPs spent since the last save?? And also, if you've already visited the party boat since spending your LPs does that mean you've saved over your previous data and can't retrieve the LPs?

If you tap on the cloud icon, it tells you on the bottom bar how long ago your last save was. If that time was before you spent the LP's or SP's, you'll have them back.
