Billionaire

Post by Jo Ferris »

I logged in (both mobile and laptop), and on my home page my sim $ says I have $1,000,000,000 (so many zeros!), which I definitely do not have (makes me feel great though). Problem corrects when I go to the transaction page.

lol. April Fools is meant to be shocking, not funny.

What if people spend it?

It sorta tells you what kind of person you are, if you wake up, are groggy, don't realize what day it is ... and your first impulse is ... "Oh, I have to do the 'Contact Us.' thing."

Now, if you buy buy 500 farms to sell later ... or whatever ... that's an entirely different kind of person.

I mean, imagine if a bank did that for April Fools? (Their customers would all be driving $200,000 cars, paying off credit card bills, umm, what else do people have to do, IF they had that kind of money? Oh, a cruise, while it's still cold-ish. Let's see. Yet another trip to Europe and New York. Pull everything you can out of the ATM.

Of course, this is all assuming the bank would actually let you withdraw the cash/spend it. I know a whole lot of people would say, "Make sure that check clears TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" And, that's assuming it's a 24-hour April Fools joke.

lol. Mine was the "Contact us." thing.

Any other thoughts out there ... on first thoughts?

I initially missed the extra 3 zeros at the end and thought that somehow I spent $1.5 million overnight and got a bit panicky lol!

Mine has not corrected...does that mean I’ve been especially good and can keep it?

I went to my transactions page immediately to see if it had been done via a transfer only to find my real amount shown there! :( (This might help out anyone struggling to remember how poor they really are ... Check your transactions page)

My favorite April Fools in the SIM was 2013. I had been playing the game for 12 days, I went to check on my horses and they all had zombie head shots. I was so new, and didn't read much of anything before starting to play. I thought I had messed up and all my horses were sick.

I thoutht this was 8.0.
Instead of all starting all over with $100.000. We all got to start with $1.000.000.000.
No more claimer entries to win 840$ in an unfilled race I thought..
Then I realized.. slowly..

Polk told me Lucas Davenport had bought all his horses for 1 billion! So he could start out fresh... And I was stupid enough to believe him until I saw my own Stable Profile... Oh, have to think about something vicious for revenge.... ;) lol
