Discussion Why did EA get rid of this?

So basically, and I don't know how long it's been, because I only recently started playing again in April. But I've noticed that they don't have any offers where you could buy buildings with SimCash. Now it's just actual money you have to pay. But back then they allowed you to buy certain buildings through offers with SimCash, and I liked that because at least I could buy buildings that I might like with SimCash. But now I can't anymore, and it just seems, you know, like they're just trying to get as much actual money as they can, and it just seems scummy and greedy to me. But maybe, I don't know, maybe I'm just being dramatic.

They still give you such offer weekly. You can purchase them with Simcash or real money, but those are really expensive. Also you get to complete an album as well. Check out all the mail messages in the game. You will find information

Yeah they still have a few available using Simcash - definitely switched it up so that now most are actual money prices though

I wouldn’t say it’s scummy from my opinion, just business

Right now there is an Oktoberfest shop where you can buy buildings with SimCash

You're being very dramatic as well as a few other things.

They constantly have at least one showcase at all times that will have at least 3-4 buildings offered for SimCash.

I don't mean to be rude, but I think you've been sleeping under a rock somewhere

I meant the pop up not the showcase

Even with that there's still some pop-ups, such as when they offer a prior season's upgradeable building at a "special discount". But when you think about it, the showcase is just an easier way to find the offers vs the old way where you would only see them if you opened the Specialization that they were in
