I saw some comments that don't belong on the suggestion thread, but since I don't like silencing thoughts unless necessary, I'm moving them here. Questions don't go, nor do comments on people's posts. So voila, they're moved here. If something turns into a big discussion, maybe we'll give it it's own thread.

For people who are opposed to animal cruelty, no, this wouldn't make sense. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would be opposed to this.
And, yes, Morgaine. Suggestions are taken straight out of the suggestion thread. Big things, little things....once I commented 'Please give us a gold bracelet for the 'other' wrist and boom gold bracelet. Then of of course the biggest thing to come out of the suggestion thread......Babies! We said we wanted babies and we got them. So from the small to the big, glu plucks suggestions out of the suggestion thread, and introduces them into the game. Oh, we said we wanted to take our pets out with us. We got that. Any suggestion in particular you're wondering about?

See, for me it isn't so much the fur, but the baby lion in the Dubai home. As we know, big cats/exotic animals shouldn't be kept as pets, and this is a pretty serious issue in the UAE and in general with people that have more money than sense and end up mistreating them.
It bugs me every time I tap that baby lion. This shouldn't be normalised
Way many more than I can even begin to count, and that's the God's honest truth. For myself, I've asked for things such as purple shoes to match all of our first batch of Balmain outfits--boom, we got 'em! And they are perfectly gorgeous--I immediately loved them! Jewelry. I asked for tons of jewelry, plus certain different types--did we get more jewelry? Bam! Sooo much jewelry! (I think I died 500 times over it all!) I've asked for certain types of evening bags, such as to match Balmain metal treatments, for example--bang! Evening bags! I wish there were some way to thank the designers for creating such magnificent little things, they are really incredible mini treasures, and I use *everything*, and I use them constantly; the designers are so above par here. Glu and particularly these designers deserve notice and gratitude for being so great about it. Someone (I don't like to put other people's names), asked to have the pilot back on the tarmac--yes! He came back! There's big things such as Koko mentioned, and then even the little things that really, really do mean so much. Some people asked for flats, look how many flats now! Forum members asked and asked for a destination in South America--Welcome, Republic of Chile! Glu does listen. You might not think it, but they are here and they do take these things seriously. They try to give us so much that we ask for. And maybe because some of it seems small to others, and there's things people don't even notice, or many players are unaware someone--or many someones--asked for, they do want players to be happy. And when even the little things, when even the smallest details matter to them, I think that's pretty dang nice to say the least. So yes. Many. Many, many suggestions have been put into the game; from the large to the tiny, Glu has put them there.
EDIT: Need to add--there were also requests for Iceland and Cuba. What do you think happened *there*?
In fact, I was told that somethong we've requested for a long time is coming. Nothing more than that. ANd by the way, those purple shoes are wonderful.

I understand what you're saying, but I need to add, because I believe that fair is fair and both sides should always be heard, regardless it may not be what I personally would think, that in keeping with the traditions and customs of a particular country, and being true to a culture and their practices, always in tune with the most minute of details, this is how it goes. Has anyone noticed in the field in Chile the horse is more a nag than a stallion? Because that's not a place where a stallion would be found, but the horse illustrated in fact would be. I will not say it isn't a beautiful horse, though maybe I'd rather it was. A beautiful horse doesn't fit there, and making it such would be incorrect.
I guess my point is that the game is a game and is based on Hollywood, where they are known to turn a blind eye when it's inconvenient to their lifestyle. My doll is a shallow getaway where I don't have to worry that my private plane is adding to climate change, and I can divorce my husband because of the hat he won't take off.
But hey, speaking of Glu reading our suggestions, do they ever really address the issues like the current false advertising where they offer to pay us stars but then we get energy instead? Or address the $4,000 box petition, or the pay to play SYS complaints?
I know we get a lot of what we ask for, so it's weird that it's complete radio silence on complaints.
I have decided that the lack of response *IS* the response. The fact is, they are trying to make money. So they tweak stuff and add things and switch things up in order to provide revenue. A SYS event becomes pay to play when they see that 30 kstars isn't deterring people from participating. People still buy gift boxes even though its known that some contain kash. Not saying anything about people who do that - I pay to play SYS every week and happily open gift boxes.
I guess we just have to remember that complaints aren't always going to lead to a change in the game. Even if it seems like the whole forum hates something, if Glu sees that overall their revenue is helped by a certain feature, it's gonna stay.
Koko: Just delete if you like. Really only needed two or three sentences to make the point, but didn't want it to come out as "Well you did, so..." and had to write a few circles around it.
This rationale doesn't hold water for me, personally, since there are a great many things they do IRL that do not, and never would, make it into the game. I don't really want to argue about this though.
You can say that again!
My doll doesn't wear fur.
I won one in a daily giftbox. It's like it doesn't exist.
I'm closing this thread, till another post comes out of the suggestion thread that you might want to talk about.

Can we all agree to not say "It's just a gameeee" to the complaints of others? Yes, it's a game, and people spend money to play it, and lots of time, and they have opinions about it. And that is perfectly fine. Minji, when you post about not getting events and other things, you aren't told "it's just a game," you are given advice, or at least commiseration.
True. But I was just so annoyed at that time. Sorry.
Or patting her hair. It looks fine, good grief.
Oh yes! Whenever I put earrings on my doll she puts her hand up and I have to wait until she's done patting so I can actually see the earrings on her. It's really annoying.
I'm asking as a real live breathing person, please don't protest my doll dressing in fashionable faux fur. No pixels were damaged in the production of the images that clearly are not animal based in nature, and clearly no animals were hurt either. I'll picket with you in real life against the cruelty to real animals, I'll sign your petition, I'll even donate to the cause. But we are talking about pixels, that you say represent real animals, that I say represent the synthetics garments manufactured by the company my husband works for.
So, can we please continue to have fake fur in the game?

I used to hate on fur and think it was stupid both real and fake... then I spent a winter north of the polar circle. After one day out in the cold/windy/snowy air I shut up forever about the topic, sat down and quietly clipped the fake fur rim back to my jacket (that I had only bought with the rim because it could be taken off) and since then I have a deep appreciation of those fur rims. They're not just for decoration...
This. It's just pixels.
That's why I was so annoyed.
In real life I'll never and ever buy a real fur and I don't have one at the moment, I really loathe that business.
However in the game I can pretend and I truly think that the furs are fake and so my doll wear it if I win or buy one.
