One thing I have noticed that is different for me is that I can now collect Town Revenue from the Sea Voyage Boat. I started playing only a few months ago so I wasn't here when the Community Events took place. Before this update, I'm pretty sure I did not have a countdown timer for the boat, but now I do. A few days ago, the town icon told me I had S/XP to collect, but I looked all around my town in all the usual places and couldn't find it until I looked around my houses and saw I could collect from the boat. Has anyone else had the same experience?

I can place windows next to each other on a straight wall but not a corner. I tried different windows and it's the same thing for each. I've built many houses in the past with windows placed next to each other on corners. But since this update I can't seem to. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing or it is it just my game?
I have to move any furniture away from the corner and then place windows. I can then move the furniture back with no problem but if the furniture is there to begin with the windows won't place.
I‘ve got the same problem like SeekerDraconis. I wanted to replace a patio with a glassrom, so I removed patio and furniture, built the room and placed the windows. It wasn‘t possible to place the windows next to each other on the corners :(
Oh, man. This is really annoying and I hope it wasn't done on purpose. :(

I found a way around it!! :D If I use windows I had already placed on other walls of the house, those windows can be placed on a corner next to another window. But those windows had to have been on that other wall for a few minutes before I can place them next to another window on a corner. But at least it works! :)

That's good! So it's a glitch then and not done on purpose. That's a relief!

Is that a change this year? That hasn't been the case in the past.
I just (at around 2 am) got two prizes, the red wallpaper and a window. Which I think are yesterday's and today's prizes. I know I missed out earlier in the week. So I don't really know what is the usual thing now. I know for many things from EA, 2 am is my start time, so maybe that was it.

I decided to change my Mrs. Santa from the pseudo-sexy complete outfit to somethin more suitable for cold weather. Something odd happened. When I put on a new top, her skirt become invisible, but her tights stayed.

This remained when I returned her to the game.

It almost worked when I tried a long top.

But I decided to give her some black jeans.

well in my opinion, mrs. santa look a lot sexier with her weirdly vanished private bits, should've kept her like that. she'd start a massive fashion trend, i guarantee it! :D not to mention that you can't have a tingly, frozen feeling in your thighs and butt if they're nonexistent! a real plus in these weather conditions [rn we've got such a heavy snow, i'm worried if i'll manage to get to uni in time tomorrow. :S that weather machine in sim town sure would come handy in real life as well]
