Sims keep calling for things I don’t have

Before I unlocked another region, I was asked for fish but I did not have frosty fjords unlocked on my iPhone. I tried selling them to myself from my android who has frosty fjords and it does not give me the option to purchase ofc. But since I unlocked another region to not deal with frosty and their difficult streets, I unlocked a region I never had before and I love it. But another city calls me again for tuna, i would love to supply to them but unfortunately I do not have frosty fjords unlocked. However, I wish there was a way to relay to the game and tell them to contact the OTHER member in the mayors club and request the cans and he will most definitely give it to them. Anyways, I am heart broken I cannot supply but also confused on why the game keeps requesting it. Maybe I picked the wrong region to unlock for my sims. I probably completely ignore their request to unlock frosty fjords next. They have seen the other mayors in the club regions and it seems to me they love their casinos and they want some action too. The most I can do, is visit the other mayors region and hang out with their people and then come back. Anyways, sorry if I let them down but I want them to understand, it was hard to navigate through the android for the perfect design so they won’t see that region unlocked for a while. Unless the game suddenly just unlocks a region out of luck, then sure I’ll choose them and start small all over again. Just wanted to let you know “The crazy cat sims” keep calling asking for fish and tuna.

Update about an hour later: please for the love of god. Fix your ads on the iPhone. It will not get off the ad at all. Just keeps opening the App Store.

Best city game on the phone.

If we Could get a few more updates and add ons that would be great

Phone hot while using game

I love love this game im addicted. So much fun and thank you for not forcing me to be in a club. So unnecessary and not enjoyable for some. But the game makes my phone so hot. After 15 mins my phone is burning up. It won’t charge at all while using the app. It needs 10 minutes to cool down before charging resumes.
