We are testing a fix now. If the testing goes well, we should have a fix available soon.

Thank you for the update. I hope the testing goes well, so it can be released soon.

Thanks, LadyCFII, that's encouraging news!

Any news on the test yet?

Just to confirm, if I have updated my game, and I see version 1.00.09 on the screen, this bug should be fixed? Because when I started the game after the update, I saw a mail icon flashing, so I saved the game (paused it, went into my other name game, saved, went back into active game) and the mail icon disappeared.

My singleton has spent 3 years already wandering round the house, with no proposals. She is gen. 31 and has three kids (somehow). I hope this can be fixed, as I am trying to get 'rare' kids, and I am almost there. I was using the 'save' trick to keep getting proposals so I could pick a suitable mate, and now that doesn't work.

That bug has always been there. If you don't answer the mail before switching families it won't let you go back and answer it.

And it happens. Just try to keep a watch out for a proposal and I suggest you answer it before she turns too old

Not for me. As soon as I heard the *ping*, I would save the game, then answer the mail. If I didn't like the look of the suitor, I could pause, copy the saved game from a backup folder and go back and try again. I read about that trick on here somewhere, and it saved a lot of time waiting for Mr or Ms Right to come along.

oh wow, that's never worked for me. *shrugs* Cause I have the weird PC LOL

There are several kinds of emails, and they don't all behave the same. The flashing email icon doesn't necessarily mean that there's a marriage proposal waiting. It could be another type of email. And it's not a bug that leaving a game (by switching slots or quitting) resets emails. Many things are reset by leaving the game, by design. For emails, it all depends upon what type of email it was (and you can't know that without opening it - sort of a catch-22, huh?)
