This comment was made prior to them fixing it (or so I thought). The shelf was added to my wall decorations tab, and the furniture was in that tab. However, I got my fireplace on Classic and it is still not in my dock on Next despite all the rest of the theme showing up after they fixed it. I hope this is remedied soon.

Hi – check your decorations – you may find it there. Mine was there.

Although I won’t personally be using it, I am really pleased to see this accessibility feature become available and I hope it really helps those who do require voice control to use a computer! However, I do agree with others that it would be nice to have a setting to ‘hide the microphone icon’ as it can look a bit cluttered for those not using it.

I never experienced this problem before the update. The only freezing I have seen was when I would take my pets to another property that I have. However, that was able to be fixed when I took my pet to Kinzville or any building in Kinzville. I am not sure if this helps, but I managed to make my pets move again by uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

I appreciate your continuous innovation to make “Next” more fun to play but there are so many long term bugs (ie purple static in pets rooms) that we would really like fixed instead of this microphone. I play with the sound off too.

I thought we were going to get our friendly froggy awards from the acorn collection on Classic with this update? I don’t have any of my prizes in my dock on Next and as a longtime Classic player, accounts are linked. This is the feature I was most looking forward to with this update.

Today I realised that I can fill my pet’s hearts on Next by feeding and exercising, so I thought, yay, finally I can fill their hearts without having to wait for the requests. But whatever I do, I only get from 75% to 87% and then of course I have to wait for the request anyway. I tried the bath, the pool, trampoline, bed and everything that works on classic, but it is not enough to fill my pet’s heart, and playing with the baby only counts once. What a shame, I wish they would change THIS instead of the microphone bit.

Every time after the update, on the desktop, it takes me at LEAST 12-13 tries until I see the update button. It says “must update your app”, then I go to the microsoft store, then there is just the play button (no update), when I press that, I get “must update your app” and round and round, for at least 20-30 minutes each time, before the update button appears. It is easier on the tablet.
