    Yes I did. Go to the build option, and in the bottom left corner is your inventory (the box). It's in there.

    I've been playing this game regardless of connection issues since launch, and I've been haing fun with it. Until last night.

    For some reason I have the mission to build the Simpsons House! It just turned up after collecting stuff off some friends. Now, I am completely unable to build the Springfield Elementary that I have saved up for, nor partake in any other missions! To make things more annoying, the mission status states it is "Done", which it obviously is.

    Pleeeeeaaaaase tell me there is a way of sorting this out.

    if they kicked out the multiplayer, always online server crap.
    Removed the iap, there is probable a good single player game here.

    I finally found it... took a while to appear in the build list. Pretty annoying.
    Sorry to hear you're having trouble progressing... If I hear of a way around it I'll re-post.

    They seem to be updating the Tapped Out Facebook page pretty regularly with updates. There are alot of people there who have the same problem, so I'm quietly confident it'll get fixed in the update when it's re-released. In the meantime, I filled in the troubleshooting survey they released for the game.

    Are the servers still completely down for North America types? I haven't been able to play in days.

    Pretty sure I missed out on Bart, Homer finished his first plant shift and there was a cut-scene but no quest to build Bart's treehouse. Still hasn't come... I'm a level 13 now

    Can anyone help me with a couple of questions please?

    1. Is there any way to rotate the camera angle/view of my Springfield?

    2. I am trying to visit a friend, but I get a message saying that they have a newer version of the game than I do. It then asks me to update my version and takes me to EA.com/ipad, but I don't see any update option. Nor is there an update in itunes itself. So how do I update it?

    (I am using the iPad version BTW)

    So far this game has been hit/miss for me. On my Canadian account, there's been no problems, but on my U.S. account, the servers never seem to be up.

    This is probably one of the most botched EA launches ever. Also is it me or are the buildings ridiculously overpriced on IAP currency? Gah... this had the potential to be such a good app.

    It's not on the U.S app-store anymore, so I would assume that servers would currently be down.

    Does anybody know how to restart the game new? I'm sick of logging in and its either one game or the other - never the one I want. Both games are progressing at different levels. When I started I was playing anonymously and then created a Origin account and moved that game over when it prompted me. But for some reason that is never the game I get.

    So I figured - forget it, i'll start from scratch and log in from the beginning and play that game, but I cant seem to find a way to reset the game. I tried deleting it from the iPhone then downloading from the Cloud within the phone - that failed (presumably because it was no longer in the store) and so I then synced it from iTunes on my PC but even that failed and started me from where I left off.


    Anybody know how to get scrap everything and start again? Thanks!

    I have this on an ipad2 and an iphone4s.

    the 4s had tons of trouble, not a problem at all running this on the ipad2. All the problems with getting into the game, things loading funny, etc. always work fine on the ipad2. This is with the same origin accounts and exact same tapped out version pulled from the cloud(purchase history). super annoying.

    interestingly, i'm running version 1.0.0, in that survey that was posted a while back I saw it asked about version 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3 as well. Interesting that they released in in the us with version 1.0.0. I never saw in update for any of the others before it was pulled.

    eventually i'm sure they will work it out.

    they really need a game reset. signing up for new unity account (requiring new email address is really annoying)

    Since today I got a message to build the Simpsons house, but I'm already level 13! Now I can't build anything or give jobs to anyone. I can only collect money from houses. And I've got a lemon tree in the inventory and can't plant it!!!
    Very annoying!!!!!
