Is anyone else unable to select certain clothes out of the wardrobe after this update?

Since I have an iPad 2 and am still on iOS 7 I was expecting the same issue after updating and my game did crash. Repeatedly. So I updatied my device to iOS 9 and hoped that my Game Center still worked.

Updating to iOS 9 has, it seems, fixed the crashing - my game hasn't crashed once. And Game Center is working normally. *keeping fingers crossed*
Good to know! I am on iOS 8.4 though. I am wondering if I should wait with updating or not. It seems that several issues come with this update, such as the wardrobe problem, the orb inventory tab missing, the crashing, the new flooring (I hope it was a mistake to replace it instead of adding it)... It might be better to wait for the fix.

I think you should be fine with iOS 8.4 in regards to the crashing. FM updated their top issues and said about the crashing:

This could be a problem for me, I'm still on iOS 6.1.6 and I have no way of updating without buying a new device (which I'm obviously not going to do just for this).

I haven't updated yet; I like the look of the new costumes, but if it makes the game unplayable after updating, it sounds like I shouldn't bother...
(and correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no easy way of reverting to an old version of SFP if I do update is there?)

Anyone got any advice?
Thanks!

(I've noticed the game crashing more since the last update but it's still playable at the moment)

Unfortunately I updated already and as far as I know there is no way back. I can't update to iOS 8 either.
So, all the players on iOS 7 and lower have to wait for a fix that comes with the next update if we are lucky. But presumably later or never?
That's a bummer! The game is really unplayable.

You are right. Fortunately, the game did not crash so far.

Unfortunately...

- I noticed that the 'haunted sound' was gone during the flickering of the house. Then I found out that my teen idol didn't sing, while she normally does. I tried it with the music on, but that was not the case (the same goes for the sound of the keyboard). This is really stupid, the sounds are gone!

Hey, you also found that out! Apparently more sounds are missing...

- The 'inspired sim' icon is often at the wrong place (through the entertainment icon). And the grey cupcake icon also looks pretty ugly... it's not really in line with the other icon/bar and I see half of the cupcake.

- Indeed, the Medium Rock tiles automatically changed into the new black with gold tiles. I like the new tiles but they should have added it instead of replacing an older one!

My iPad 2 is still running version 6.1.3.
I updated the game more than a day ago and I haven't experienced any crashed nor other errors.

I'm on a Gen1 iPad and so far ::knock wood:: I haven't had problems with it crashing after updating to M&M. All the tiny little bugs (lack of some sounds etc) are about to drive me round the bend though.
