Yeah me too - I even have another squeaky-voiced teen that I can do nothing with - can't sell him or use him!

Contact EA about the duplicate squeaky voice - this is a Krustyland bug.
They should remove the duplicate from your inventory and credit you with the donuts instead...

My mystery boxes have been a gazebo three weeks in a row now. It's a far cry from when I got a Lemon Tree in my very first week and the Squeaky Voiced Teen in my second.

I find upgrading the Squidport and Krustyland to be infuriatingly slow. I wouldn't mind paying for premium content to speed it up, but it all just works out so expensive.

After you build the tooth chipper yeah. or possibly after bart rides it.

they swap at about $3:1ticket

will have to see how the tasks stack up. whether it's better working people in krustyland and converting the money or not.

I guess that depends on your bonus multiplier...

I guess.

i haven't looked though. I don't know if the payment rate for tasks in krustyland compares well with springfield after conversion or not.

Going by your screenshot, the best exchange rate is for 30,000 tickets which will give $100k.
It will take me a few days to earn 30,000 tickets at my current rate (just built the hotel), where as I can easily get $100k in less than a day of normal play.
It looks like it will definitely work out better to keep the characters in Springfield, but I expect I'll still let some have a change of scenery in Krustyland!
Comparing task for task:
Cletus will earn 52 tickets for operating the Radioactive Man ride for 4 hours.
He would earn $175 for de-lousing his young-uns for the same length of time.
On maximum bonus for KL (just 5%), the task would be boosted to 55 tickets - still very low compared to the $ for the same task duration in Springfield (where the bonus multiplier is unlimited).
Even if you use a premium character like Squeaky Voice Teen, he can only earn 78 (82) tickets versus $260 in Springfield (assuming you also have the Aztec theatre for his 4 hour task).

At least there is something to do with the tickets after the expansion is finished though! I might get to that point in the next few weeks (not rushing it).

Thanks for that tip! I've just had an email back from them and they're going to credit me with 6 donuts. Not a lot but it's better than none!

I've finally caught up! Got to Level 34 the other day and had the picture of a present at the end of my XP bar which I believe is the bonus donuts in lieu of a new level. The next day they went an released Level 35 and I'm back playing as normal! But soon I shall have those bonus donuts in my sights at long last! Anyway, gonna bump my game name in the thread if anyone wants to add and connect up: Jimadee

See you there, neighbour-inos

You have to build the main quest line building from the previous level first for the next levels quest line building to be available.

In this case you need to start the Rod and Todd quest line first.

They said they'd give me 6 donuts and actually gave me 12, and now I've just got 30 in a mystery box! Only another 2400+ needed to get all the premium buildings!

Only thing is I don't fancy getting rid of all my KL tickets only to find EA issuing some new attractions that means having to save from scratch. I'm OK for cash just now so I'm keeping the KL tickets where they are for the moment.

If Squidport is anything to go by then I wouldn't expect new attractions anytime soon but who knows, I could be wrong.

I've heard about that happening a few times recently... I've only won tickets though!

In other news, Halloween is coming - there is a little job for Lisa to do first
