Guess it will be Maggie with her birthday offers for house, truck and RSS on Saturday. Let’s hope the prices are not to high. Attachments:

First of all, thank you ducktown2021 for sharing the screen shot. Now I'm tempted to change the theme of my Main Farm from Solyent Green to Birthday Bash. ;-)

Maybe Maggie is partying in London during the Queen's Platinum Jubilee? There's two more days of celebration left so she'll be back in Helsinki on Monday ready to fulfill our customization requests. ;)

Just came on to see if there'd been another mistake. Not sure why there would be a grand announcement, then no Maggie? Strange decisions SC have been making recently!

I bought them all, too. After I took screenshots of my favorite combination. Fortunately, my favorite is relatively cheap to rebuild.

If I wasn't saving for a yogurt machine,
(I'm at around 600 thousand at mo)
Then I might have been tempted.
But I know I will want my own designs back ASAP!
And the cost of that means its not worth the change...even for 10 gold 😆
I may eventually want to change my designs but it took me a few years of trial and error to find the combo I have now, I love seeing it when I load the game!

Oy. Not to my taste. Oh well, I am sure many will love it! 😁 Not my thing either. Tried to see if parts of the decorations was to my liking, but ended up passing them all. I have looked at random farms from DD and farms I follow or who follow me, so far I have only seen the decorations on Gregs farm. It is a bit sad, but perhaps the people who bought it will use it for the 4th of July celebrations?

I was going to jump in and buy them all - especially as the offer on the house is so fantastic at just 10 coins for each element. But...... - I've just been wiped out of coins (again) since the yoghurt machine. In fact, I'm always playing catch up with coins, the another machine comes out. Of course it will cost coins to revert designs back after the birthday event.
- I am desperately trying to save vouchers for the new-ish animals, guinea pigs. Again, as soon as I seem to have a stock they get wiped out. Especially short of purples. Again, a cost to revert back after event.
- Diamonds, well they always go quickly. I've rather got into the habit of employing Ernest and Rose and find the game a struggle without them. And again, more diamonds to revert back.
- I've just remembered the costs of getting back my original and favourite House, Shop and Truck after the recent muck up. I know SC tried to compensate us, but I really still lost lots of resources getting back my original designs. I LOVE the themed Maggie designs, Birthday, Halloween etc and would be much more likely to buy them if I could revert to my previous favourites at a reasonable cost.
How about Supercell let us BANK ONE favourite design for each the shop, house and truck which we can revert to at a minimal cost after events. Like 10 coins, or 1 diamond, maybe even 1 green voucher? I would be much more likely to use diamonds, coins, vouchers if I new it was just a one off outlay, and I don't want to be stuck with the new designs after the event... Of course check back later, I may have caved and bought the whole lot 😂 But am holding off certainly for now.

That is a brilliant idea! I would buy any and all new designs that came up each week to fill the book if I knew I could switch back to my one chosen favourite design of each for minimal cost Or If there was a buy but don't build option!

I agree. I kinda like the farmhouse, truck and RSS although it's a "little bit" eye-catching. It's beautiful and you can see the love for detail. But I have the same problem like BauldersGate and perhaps some other members with expensive design. There is no point for re-buying the fav design for a lot of coins, vouchers and sometimes with diamonds. Sorry, but I won't be a party to that. Additional, the offer is only attractive for the part of the farmhouse, truck and RSS are expensive. Not thought through properly. In my opinion.

My understanding is that, once you have bought an item from Maggie, you will not have to pay diamonds again to restore it. There will be a cost, of course, but it will be 75% off the original price, and no diamonds. I have bought the new designs so that, once again, my collection book is complete. EDIT: I've been through my collection book and have confirmed that there isn't a single item that requires diamonds to restore it; they are all vouchers or coin, so my understanding was correct. As an example, the truck's birthday wheels cost diamonds to buy, but restoring them at a later stage will cost 12500 coin.

Maggie is at my farm today with the red white and blue decor. Way to loud for me. Might buy to keep in storage. Just don't think I Would use it. Seen it all on a couple farms and hoo boy it's glaring loud.

Cowslips You're right. No diamonds for re-buying a design. THX for correcting this point. However, despite of 75% discount my fav design will decrease my amount of coins a lot. I know that certainly since it's not long ago when I had to re-buy my design after the update mess.

Your right donkeyfan at a combined cost of; 237,500 Gold coins, 17 Green tickets, 32 blue tickets and 3 pink tickets To restore all 3 parts of all 3 things to my 'normal' It's not something I plan on doing again anytime soon 😅

Maggie is at my farm today with the red white and blue decor. Way to loud for me. Might buy to keep in storage. Just don't think I Would use it. Seen it all on a couple farms and hoo boy it's glaring loud. I found a way to balance it that worked for me. Most recently I had a blue roof on the house, with the walls that are half stone on top/half blue planks on the bottom, with the dock base. I kept my blue roof the same, and switched the walls so it’s just a couple of shades of blue with a touch of red on the window, and it has the star. No huge amount of dark red/dark blue that hurts my eyes, lol. I switched the base, which is pretty neutral. i got the truck, which reminded me of ones decorated as a parade float. For the shop, I got the fair themed base and walls (or whatever it’s called) but left my yellow canvas roof on it. Star theme present, mostly blue but not the crazy overwhelming number of red and blue balloons, and the yellow with it I find more calming. So I have something to celebrate the birthday fair, but didn’t get the things I found overwhelming just for the sake of it (only to have them take up storage space and have to “pay” to replace).

I also want to add the costs for re-designing if I'd choose to change my design: 2 purple vouchers 1 blue voucher 1 green voucher That sounds not very much, but the coins are immense: 375.000.... for my fav design. That's the main reason for skipping the opportunity to buy the current offer. And due to the update mess I made some concessions (wheels from the truck, roadside shop base) because I failed to see to buy something I already owned. It's ok for me now, but I'm staying reluctant and I'm considering more than I used to whether to participate on something or not. Be assured, if the re-buy wouldn't be that expensive, I would accept Maggies offer, also the diamonds. I like it very much, as I mentioned. But sometimes the heart has listen to the head.

Dear farmer, I think I have to clarify something. My above posting wasn't a complaint, and neither a begging for money. I beg for pardon if you got this impression, this was NOT my object. It's more a personal thing. I have plenty of coins to get the offer from Maggie and to rebuild it after some time. Also I'm able to buy the last machine. But I won't. Due to some reasons. One of them is a place problem due to a permanent lack of scrolls. But this is only MY problem and is not supposed to bother you. At this point thank you very much for your contribution.

One of the really good things about Maggie is the number of choices. Very nice. I truly feel there is something for everyones taste and liking. And I love that we can change things up when we want to. I often change the porch and gardens and sometimes the entire building. Lol. While it is costly at times, like Donkeyfan, I have accumulated enough to do that when the mood strikes. So, whatever our reasons, tastes, and moods, some ideas (eg. Halloween) truly filled me heart with fun joy and others are... Mmmmm... Not really up for that one. I may regret it down the road but.... There is always something coming up that I will love!😁

greenleaf Very well summed up. Yes, different approaches are possible, and that's indeed ONE of the strengths of the game to do what pleases you. And vice versa to avoid what gives you a hard time. That's the spirit of the game.

Thank you! After all these years 9f playing, I have learned to ignore things that I don't think are fun. It took me a while to realize I don't have to participate and complete everything. So finally I have learned that valuable tool and play the things that I enjoy and buy things that work for me. 😁

I restored my current favorite design three times in the past 4 weeks. Yes, I bought Maggie’s offerings, but, for now, I prefer my favorite design. No idea, if this makes sense.
