The problem with neighbor requests continues to be a problem S8! Practically all the players requesting on the same day is gonna be a load on the servers. I'm sure that's why my game has been giving me problems for the last 2 days & I never have a problem since I'm on a stable wifi network. But the game takes forever to load. I force close every time after I've finished a session so reloading has been taking forever...much, much longer than normal.
This time it would have made much more sense to have that request in an early chapter since who gets a building permit after the building is practically already built? You have to have that thing first...lol.
