I have got all the personal prizes now. When you get them all you then earn a spin token for every 1000 cards you collect.

Am hoping we get an update today that will fix the community prize problem.

Great. Was hoping it'd be that rather than the chance of 1,2, or 3 donuts again. They seem to have got a bit more generous this time round!

The totals required for unlocking all but the first item have been greatly reduced to what they were before so hopefully they will be far more attainable now.

I am really liking the tasks where you can send nearly all of your characters to do a christmas job and earn cards. Just had one finish and earned 2 coins from it! You only need 12 people to do the task, but I just send everyone eligible. Makes it very easy to collect when the task is complete when they are all in the same building too

Anyone else get a little update this evening? I just had one but I'm not sure what exactly has changed other than the global total suddenly being much higher than it was before.

(I'm genuinely convinced that the global total is bullplop anyway, during Halloween, you could make it climb really fast by clicking the little community icon in the bottom corner over and over)

Anyone else having problems logging in? Keep getting error messages.

Got Plow King yesterday on the wheel. Can't use it as I don't have Barney. Can't even sell it. Waste of a spin.

Got the Helter Shelter on the wheel yesterday which was a nice little prize!

And yeah I agree that the community total is probably bogus. I don't know how they can keep an accurate running total of everyone in the world collecting gift cards.

I've just started paying this game. It's quite addictive but I've only played just over an hour's worth today so I'm still fairly new to it. I have a couple of questions.

Where is my inventory and how do I access it?

What's the best way to make money in the game without spending real-world cash? So far I've got three of those brown houses next to the Simpsons house and I've got Flanders on the other side. I have Cletus' farm which I grow "Perfection" on. And I make the characters do the small tasks for cheap but quick money. Is it worth it?

There's something you can plant on Cletus' farm for $9000 and you get $45,000 back but it takes 3 months. Is it worth it? I've gotten nearly $4000 in one day and I haven't played that much if I'm honest so it doesn't seem that good but i suppose if I'm making a lot anyway then I should make that up in no time and then get a big return in 3 months time? I'm not sure.

Same as me. Is Barney's Bowlarama part of a task or a premium building?

Premium. 250 donuts. Never going to get enough for that or spend the money to get them either.

Press the button with the hammer and saw and your inventory is the box button on the left. Most people grow moonshine on the farm. 24hrs.

Best way to make money is not to waste it on things you don't need. Just build what they ask you to build.

Plow King isn't even a premium character in terms of money earned, and his 24 hour task is the same as Barney's. Ironically Mr Plow is premium, with jobs going up to $1000 for 24 hours.

If you were going to get a premium character, I'd get the twins over Barney, as they pay out double ($1500 for 12 hours/$2000 for 24h) and they have a fairly entertaining quest line.

Ok thanks for the reply. I shall do that.

Is it beneficial to add lots of People of this game?

In general play you can earn money and XP from visiting neighbours and tapping their buildings. Not necessary to do but will help boost your earnings.

If you want to take part in the events, like the christmas one happening at the moment then you really do need neighbours to stand a chance in reaching the goals.

A lot of us have put our usernames on this thread, feel free to add anyone. My username is G0gfumble (with a zero not a no).

Don't know if it's just me but my game is crashing a lot more lately and also I'm not able to connect to the server more often. Really annoying, especially as just now I was halfway through giving out tasks and now I can't get back in.
