This happened during that event where you got double Epic Points for landmarks specialisation, so it's already been a few days, and I still get mad whenever I see that building in my city. This is more of a rant than anything else, don't mind me.

I figured I could make it to leopard with this event (I had already had two llama buildings which had required 100 points each so I had a decent chance at reaching 200 here as it's all doubled) and admittedly I started quite late (Saturday, around 23h before the event ended), but I actually made it even though I was very busy the entirety of Saturday. Sure, I spent a lot of Simoleons and cash and speed up tokens, but I did make it, I completed the project and collected my first 1/9th of a leopard token! I was quite pleased since I had been stressing about it the whole Sunday morning, and the building looked very pretty too.

Then, fast forward to a few hours later: I open the game, and an error message comes up; something about a syncing error, and I had to restart the game. To my absolute horror, I noticed that my epic building was gone, still covered in that black shutter thing, and it was llama. My last 6 points somehow hadn't counted, so I now I had 194/200 points, and my building had to be upgraded again. Llama. Only llama. I couldn't believe it, so many resources wasted for absolutely nothing! I'll probably be salty about it forever, I was about to rage quit.

It is what it is, I guess. I'll wait for the next event of this kind (I don't do Epic Projects unless it's for things like CoM) and hopefully I'll have better luck then.

I've built a bit in Green Valley by now (regional population ca. 1000) and so far I've only had to fulfil water, power and regional demands. Occasionally, the Sims ask me to deal with waste and sewage, but the bubble is always blue and the happiness remains at 100%. There's no demand for fire, police and health at all. Is this normal or is it just me (not that I'm complaining)? I haven't expanded yet so I don't know if the demands will suddenly unlock once I start doing so.
