SuperShawn Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 ^ I couldn't figure that out either.... I am Guessing its a glitch or not activated or something strange.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Love the additions so far! Of course you can all thank me for the update since right after I set everyone for four hours it came out! If I remember the Halloween 'goo' wasn't available right away till you finished a couple of tasks. Perhaps this is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 You can't drop gifts to someone that hasnt updated yet. Once they update, there is the similar icon in the upper right corner to the gremlin drop button. 5 per town, just tap the button when its there. If its not showing, then the person hasnt done the Christmas update yet. I have already dropped 8 gift bags in towns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilSaint Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The arrow to go from town to town is awesome. It's so easy and quick to get through my whole friend list now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barge84 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Downloading the update now. I'll mess around with it tonight. Random question... Do you guys have to sign in all the time? I feel like it logs me out almost every time. It's pretty annoying. I'm playing on an iPhone 5 and my iPad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperShawn Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 From the AE forums it sounds like gift dropping gets unlocked once you collect 3 gifts in your Springfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy T. Koepp Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I get kicked out probably once a day. Sometimes twice, depends on how many wireless devices are using our internet at the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arby Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Yay, I just got the update! Feel free to add me to the front page, too - arbyrocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azza29 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Updated! Liking this so far - seems like they keep refining the drop/collect mechanics with each update. I like that there's no 'hunting' for presents since they all seem to appear around the tree. Anyway, there goes my lunch break... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Looks like after 3000 gift cards you get the Springfield Mall. I wonder if it will just be a decoration or if it will be more interactive like Krustyland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azza29 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 So far I've found that Flanders, Bart, Homer and Lisa have tasks that reward with gift cards. Visiting friends' towns is definitely the easiest way to earn cards though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Actually, looks like you do have to hunt for presents. Just found a handful hidden around my town and even had to make my buildings invisible to find a couple of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCTom Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Ooooooooo YES! Character finder and Arrows to go between friends towns?!? BEST GIFTS EVAR! Plus when choosing tasks it defaults to the longer choices. With these three changes they've really improved the gameplay experience I would say.

OldJJman Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I finally got home and had the chance to update. Looks cool so far. My big question is: how do you get more gift bags to drop off at your friends. I only had 8, dropped them and I can't seem to find out how to get more without spending donuts. Got any ideas?

Guy T. Koepp Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I'm hoping as you finish quests and acquire buildings, you will have more presents to give out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azza29 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 ^^Presents you open in your town randomly drop gift bags, about 10-20% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Once more and more people start getting the update and leaving gift bags, it should help increase the amount of gift bags you get. I ended up getting 14 this morning from all of the presents waiting for me. I like how every town has gift cards for you to tap, even people that haven't played the game in months. And the two new add-ons to improve game play or amazing. I can't believe it actually came from EA!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Also, if anyone is in my town, my Boardwalk tile is ready for tapping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Maybe I've totally missed something but I can't figure out how you drop off bags in other towns. I had like 6 of them but I don't get any sort of icon or ability to drop off a bag anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 Well, you can only drop 5 per day, per town. Also, you cant drop into towns that havent done the update yet. Other then that, I dint think there is any reastrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arby Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Right. If you have bags it will show up as an icon in the upper right with the quantity you have. When you click on that icon it will drop a bag if they have run the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJJman Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Right. If you have bags it will show up as an icon in the upper right with the quantity you have. When you click on that icon it will drop a bag if they have run the update. Not quite. The number of bags you have to give away is next to the amount of gift cards you have collected. If you go to someone's town, that HAS updated, then an icon appears in the upper right. That's how many gifts you can drop in that town (max 5 per 24hrs), IF you have them to give. Ex: say you have 3 bags, go to a friends town that has updated - the icon shows up with a 5 on it. You drop the 3 bags - now the icon has a 2 on it. So, if you get more bags (within 24hrs), you can go back to that town and drop 2 more. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
