The home store also changed to box in upler right of screen instead of across bottom. You can scroll choices faster (3 in a column instead of 1) but less screen is visible when designing.

I don't like it much.
Guess it depends on which size the tablet has. If it's a smaller one, you get the phone-interface. Leah described the differences at this topic.

I'm happy that it hasn't been changed for my iPad Air!
I just didn't get why they changed it for my Kindle and tablet. Both were plenty big for the tablet display, it's not like they got smaller since last update!

Is anyone else missing content? I'm missing the Le TV so far, haven't looked much further than that.

Checked a FB group, they're complaining about missing clothes and spa items.

The tops, pants and boots we got in Grand Garages Update have disappeared from the wardrobes.

Le TV is still there in my game, but it looks different at the home store - the screen used to be black, just like it is when it's placed. And I had a look at my Spa house. I can still buy all of the items. But this may be different in other games.

Might be just that camera angle, but that TV looks smaller than it normally is...

None of my TVs look like that.

I have the same clothes missing too.

UPDATE: Sent in a ticket to Firemonkeys about my missing TV (cause I really like that TV since it hasn't got any additions to it, just a wall one):

I am missing the Le TV since the latest update Family Furnishings (July 2019). I would like it to return to my game please as it is my favourite TV.

Five hours later (is that a record for their quickest response recently?) I get this response:

Greetings,

Thank you for contacting Firemonkeys Support.

As I understand that you've lost some of your progress in the game. I can imagine how inconvenient this could be. Don't worry, I'll try my level best to help you out.

Please let me share that we're unable to retrieve your progress. However, I can definitely help you with the in-game currency as a compensation so that you can quickly rebuild your progress level.

Sorry to say but this is the best we can do in this context of lost progress.

Please do let us know, if you wish to have this resolution for the trouble.


I don't want compensation! I want my TV back! :lol:

(There was no compensation btw...)

Le TV is back, but now got the same issue as Erin, along with the OTT TV too.
