1STAR for the same issues which everone've been posting in the past 2 months. I pay to play for the special challenges, but the glitches reset tasks and made sim's missed the deadline. their site has BS explanations of how to avoid it, it helps until you forget to do it the one time then u lose a few days of work again. 1) if you don't plan to pay, it is still a fun game, but don't hope to win any challenge on time. 2) if you plan to pay, DON'T! The glitches will cause you to have to pay more!
