I find it interesting that overnight, no more fires spawned in my town, except those that were arson (neighbors).

I find it very interesting that the layout of the park in Wanda Guangzhou seems very similar to IOA. (Which is not a bad thing!)

I got the ventriloquist earlier this morning. Now it's time to concentrate on donuts. And I think my "Nero's Palace" came out pretty good. Nero's Palace

In the beginning, I bought the players card (90 donuts, I think) that gives you double when you visit friends. I got Nessie this morning. I'm at over 32,000 chips right now. I've only been crafting things that give the most Players club points. I only need 265 more points for the Black Diamond Tower. I just save my coins throughout the day, and play moe's slots. Cletus' dice game takes too much time (I'm lazy). I do like this update though. Still fun to play.

We've also been given an extra strip of land, though it is expensive. (Not an issue as I'm now over 143mil!) The best thing is now the editing tool!! You can now move or store whole sections of your Springfield. Just hold your finger down to activate, adjust the size you want to move (or store), then move it! This is really cool if you've made an area you really like and feel like you're stuck with where it is. Nice touch.

Trust me, I will checking it out very thoroughly, and scrutinizing it as best as I can. I seriously doubt that the helix, (v1.0 with the dip in the middle) will ever reappear, as that element itself was doing some serious damage to the structure that first year. But, by the looks of the pictures, with more banking in specific outbound curves (towards Beach Blvd.), it may have not only smoother transitions, but carry more speed on that final run before the helix. I'm looking forward to it. It used to be my #1 coaster. Now it doesn't even crack my top 100 wooden coasters. We'll see.

Should we rename Barney to Chris?

New update today. Involves a rocket launch pad, and talk of asteroids and nukes.

The dialogue is pretty funny, and a few tasks that you can send everyone on. I don't think that he'll ever play a larger part in the game down the line. Hit or miss. Up to you.

After having tapped on M.aggie 2 days in a row (and not hitting her somehow) I finally hit her today. Decided to check the boards and see if others were having the same problem. Yeah! Apparently, the "hit box" (where you have to tap to get anything) is not actually M.aggie, but the building she is on. That's why zooming in really makes it more difficult. So zoom out and aim for the center of the building, and or the front door area. That should make hitting her much easier. (And much less frustrating!)

No doubt. Today I found her in about 5 seconds, and spent the next 1:55 tapping on her to no avail. Sucks

There are a couple of things you can try that have helped in the past, and even currently (with the monorail). In the case of the monorail not awarding track when you pass the amount needed to get new track - you just have to visit Krustyland, and go back to your Springfield and it catches up. In "most" other cases, putting whatever building (that awarded the character you need to trigger) into storage, and then replacing it, will cause it to reset and continue on with the next quest. In your case, I'm thinking about putting Cletus' farm in storage, and then putting it right back "should" do the trick.

^After that (or possibly congruently) there is a story line starting (and mostly) with Homer about a New Years Eve celebration.

That's the thing, I never have people on tasks anymore, unless required by the game.

Anyone else have the Springfield Convention Center with balloons randomly flying out of it?? It happens to me every couple of weeks.

Just got M.aggie. Not sure how, but she's there, now going to the zoo w/Marge.

I noticed that last night. I wondered if it was a glitch.

Ok. I've maxed out, and got all the prizes. So, if anyone wants to drop "naughty" presents in my town, I will tap them as nice so as to give you max ornaments. BTW - if you complete all the weekly tasks, you do get 20 donuts, like we did during Halloween.

Found a couple more things: both "Santa's Little Helper" and "the Abominable Snowman" have jobs now. There is a glitch when using the office of unemployment, it is now taking characters off of tasks they may be currently on when you use it, so don't. In case you missed it, we got two more strips of land (at the bottom) with last weeks Springfield Heights (time killer between real updates) update. Total cost is about 22mil.

For whatever reason, M.aggie was replaced with Magnum. Don't know if that's a filter or what.

I've been cruising the usual boards. EVERYONE is asking this question. The common answer is that we do get only 5 presents every 24 hours - though NO ONE has got a second set of 5 presents yet! FYI - only give nice presents. Otherwise, you end up screwing your friends. If you both choose nice, you each get 15 stocking caps (or whatever it is). If one chooses naughty and the other nice, then it's 25 for one (not sure which one at this point) and 1 for the other. There is a LOT of content now, and a LOT coming. Lots of new characters, buildings, skins, decorations, etc… Maggie appears after the New Year. Other Characters: Sophie Krustofski (110 donuts), Patches and Poor Violet, Dancing Reindeer, Baby Gerald, Ling Bouvier (110 donuts), Kearny's Other Son, Mrs. Sinclair, and R.O.S.A. (a robotic Funzo). Some of the other new things: Ski Chalet, Chocolate Shoppe, EFCOT Center, Buckingham Pay-less Motel, Orphanage, Abercrombie & Rich, Victor's Secret (85 donuts), Duff Center Arena (200 donuts), North Pole Station (for the monorail, 160 donuts), Animal Shelter (60 donuts), Gingerbread Mansion, Slightly irregular X-mas tree lot, Exotic Petting Zoo, Reindeer Burger Truck, Fortress of Lonelitude, Moonshine Shack, Giant Outdoor Fireplace, Fancy Igloo, Ice Sculpture Couch Gag, Christmas Clams Sign, New Year's Ball, Your Picture on a Rembrandt Cart, Leftorium Express, Giant Snow Globe, Pig of Paradise Pen, Wooly Mammoth Pen, Land Octopus Pen, Ayn Rand School for Tots, Playdough Factory, Wall E. Weasel's Pizza, Slide Factory (100 donuts), Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers (120 donuts), Bear Cave (100 Donuts), and a Slide. That's all I've found for now - So there is a LOT of content, but no answer to the common present dilemma. There is so many things you can do to move forward. Though nobody has quite figured out any kind of a strategy. Hope this helps.

New update out. All it does is clear out the Halloween stuff. No new content that I see (yet). You can still buy (with donuts) the blob, the disco mummy and the star spawn (octopus thingy). Why?

^^ I think I'll be cutting it close. Definitely, not sure.

Always. Your headlines help me find all the good stuff.

I agree with what Joey says, but this part above, I've especially noticed. I just don't always remember. My campfire is only at level 7, but I do have all prizes so far. my daily task today was to upgrade my campfire. I'm still 60 rabbits away. And… the update comes tonight, along with the next session of getting monorail tracks. The completion of the tracks usually only takes me about 1.5 days, so I do get the 5 donuts.
