Stuck Rooms Glitch Resolved

Boy, am I glad to be reporting on this!

For weeks now there's been a glitch in the game which caused the game to lock up and/or "hit a snag" when you moved a room to the edge of unpurchased land.  This glitch appeared to affect few and far between until the land expansions became available.  Then, the bug was exposed to thousands upon thousands.

What happened was that the wall that would be touching unpurchased land would disappear.  This allowed weeds to grow in your room and you couldn't move it because the wall would be missing portions, so the game didn't recognize it as a complete room.


See?  Weird.  More frustrating was that the workaround was to buy new land, place a room next to the bugged room so that the wall would complete itself, and then you could move it.

Any of that make sense?  Doesn't matter.

Finally, today, the administrators on the official forums say the glitch has been fixed.  So if you've had rooms you couldn't move... try now.  It should be all good.

(Here's the thread that most people were posting in concerning this issue:  http://forum.playfish.com/showthread.php?t=2548501)

The Sims Social Land Expansions Guide Here

Hello, fellow Sims Social players! Playfish has decided to bring some happiness to our virtual Sims Social homes by unlocking a series of Land Expansions in the game, after teasing the new feature just a couple of days ago. I am sure you are curious to find out everything there is to be known about the Sims Social Land Expansion, so read on in this article for a complete guide.

The land expansions available in the game will be introduced to you by a simple mission, Landing Party:

There is a total of 9 land expansions available for us to purchase, and you will see the "For Sale" sings surrounding your house:

Clicking on any land parcel that you wish will bring up the purchase menu and you'll see the requirements for your purchase. In the case of the first land expansion, it costs you 2,000 Simoleons, 3 Contracts and 1 Signature (for these later two items, you will need to ask your friends):

However, don't you think that for all land expansions, the same requirements will apply. As you purchase more land expansions, their prices will increase, so start gathering as many Contracts and Signatures as possible in The Sims Social!

So here we have it - Land Expansions are finally available in The Sims Social. Are you happy about the release or you were expecting something different, maybe?

Land Expansions Might Be Coming Soon to The Sims Social

Initially, it seemed that we had all the space in the world for our houses in The Sims Social but now, after getting more money in the game and building up the rooms, things are different. So it hasn't been long before The Sims Social players started to ask for some land expansions. But nobody actually expected them to be released so soon. At least this is what a few hints suggest.

First of all, we have one announcement made by The Sims Social development team themselves: "We're going to be adding something very cool that will help you build your dream home. What do you think it could be?"

And the obvious question would be land expansions (although some people are still thinking that we're talking about a second level added to the house). Still, our friend Coz Baldwin noticed a thing we missed:

You can now move around the "out of bounds" area a lot more? Unless I've just not taken notice to it up until now, perhaps they're gearing up to finally release some extra land to us to build on.

And this might indeed be the case. What do you think, though? Will be land expansions coming soon to The Sims Social or the developers were maybe talking about something else?
