I have the post-event feeling of emptiness

Me too hope something comes soon.

Me too!

Have put all the buildings in storage. They've no characters associated with them and since we can't play the games anymore it's not worth having them take up so much space!

That was an easy event. I also enjoyed the fact we didn't have to visit anyone else's Springfield as that always just takes too long.

Fire station update is here!

I've notice tapping neighbors does not guarantee a medal, does it only work on active players?

If so i might need to hide some neighbours

I don't know if it's on purpose or if somebody at EA f***ed up, but you can only get a measly 16 medals a day! (You get more for tapping two fires - not the buildings - in your own town!)

If it was on purpose, I don't know why they bothered really. These mini events are usually very easy to complete in the time. I'm almost finished part 6 and have barely been playing really.

I do think there should be higher rewards for visiting friends towns. Including all the loading screens it's the most labour intensive part of the game.

I know the medals for visiting friends isn't set well, but so far this morning I have collected three donuts when visiting less then twenty friends towns. Woohoo!

Anyone know how to make money fast? I have loads of land I need to buy and would I be better off sending all the characters on 24 hr jobs or smaller jobs through the day?

If you can regularly log in then smaller jobs will generate more money than 24 hour jobs. if you don't have the time, put them on jobs that will last till you can get back to it.

If you haven't already, add me: RCortez91

Cheers.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think these more-seen characters are still to be added:

Ms Albright (The Sunday School teacher)
Sarah Wiggum
Lionel Hutz
Bill and Marty (KBBL radio)
Wendell (Springfield Elementary)
Richard (Springfield Elementary)
Allison Taylor (Springfield Elementary)
Lewis Clark (Springfield Elementary)
Charlie (Nuclear Power Plant)
Jack Marley (Nuclear Power Plant)
Alice Glick (Retirement Home)
Sam (Moe's Tavern)
Larry (Moe's Tavern)
Judge Constance Harm
Mr and Sylvia Winfield

Let me know if any of these are in the game (I may have just missed the opportunity to get them).

I would like to see 'Michael Jackson' added, you know the one in the mental hospital who thought he was Michael Jackson

It makes that line from Homer in the current event - "They've already introduced everyone" - a little odd.

How do I get righteousness up for my town? It says a ot keeping criminals off the street and reducing graffiti?

It does.

An idea I'd have would be to have a Springfield Mall expansion where we place the stores inside the mall (rather than just have the Mall building which they released) like Lionel Hutz's office (and the character), Ned Flanders' Leftorium, Marge's Pretzel place, etc.

There's a list of stores on here we could have:

Then design the rest of it with different floors, escalators and lifts, foundations, plants, benches, etc.

(In some peoples towns at least) there's no way of getting 5 stars in Righteousness without simply buying and placing Training Walls until it gives you 5 stars. You may need 10+ of them, but you can put them directly behind bigger buildings like the high school so they're not noticeable.

Wow, this mini fire event has really dragged on hasn't it?

I only recently twigged onto the 5 free donuts from the railyard weekly tasks. Usually takes until Friday to get it done but its the priority thing to do now.

Could do with them adding a new level.

Badlands expansion coming soon

I've got over 500 doughnuts now. if no worthwhile sales come by November I am gonna be spending a lot on the black Friday deals

Yeah - but we were promised that was coming before we got the Fire Station mini event. We still don't really know what we are getting from this Badlands update.

BTW - heyrehair, thanks for the bonus donut when I visited you at the weekend. Much obliged

What's Badlands?

New update!
