robbalvey Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Elissa - I just visited two friends and I got the Santa coins. I had 68, now 74. Yeah, looks like it was a glitch in her game. Let's be honest here.... it's EA.... it's gonna be buggy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldJJman Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Found a cool glitch - at least I think it's a glitch. Â I added a bunch more brown houses, made them christmasy, and they ALL inherited the same time frame for the Santa coins as the ones I started yesterday. I only have 1 hour left for my first batch of coins, and all the houses I just added (about 10 more) now only have 1 hour left on them. So with all these extra coins, I'll have my "Mapple" store before the end of the night. Â Another tip (If you didn't already know) tap a normal Homer 10x and you get a Jebediah Springfield statue.

If you go into my town, you'll see that I now have about 25 brown houses to collect the coins! I really was trying to play the game without doing too much farming by making "slums", but with the limited time on the coins, you kinda have to now...

jray21 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 (edited) I was excited about that as well, but it ended up only giving 5 coins per house type, not the number of houses. So even though I have about 8 brown houses, I only got 5 coins total. Too bad. Looks like visiting friends is going to be the way to do it. One little tip, when visiting your friends sometimes they don't have any decorated houses available yet. Usually, the Simpsons house is the only one. You can just click on it, then leave and come back every 45 seconds and it will regenerate so you can get you 3 coins from each player, even the ones without that many decorations. I'm going to just use my coins to decorate the houses first, to build up my coin 'return' in the future. the Mapple store is available, but it costs 150 and isn't a limited time option so I'll wait until I get all the decorations up first.

In a way that makes me feel better about the game overall. Having an exploit like that would have been kind of obnoxious. So yeah, gonna really work on adding people, I guess! Â People! GET YOUR XMAS LIGHTS UP!!!! Â I'll leave a couple of rows of brown houses so that people can come grab the coins at least... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They generate lots of xp and $, if I can harvest all the time. I can live with that for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Share Posted December 8, 2012 ^Dont forget you can always sell them once you've earned your money back. Â Also, if you accidentally change your Xmas house back to regular and then back to Xmas, you have to start over on your 24 hours!!! Gah! I did that to the Simpson house by tapping too fast :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimace Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Another tip (If you didn't already know) tap a normal Homer 10x and you get a Jebediah Springfield statue. Â Did not know that!

jray21 Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Oh, one other thing to help save time when visiting friends. You don't have to manually click on all the individual money, XP and coins after you click on their buildings. Once the items pop out of the house/building then you can exit and it will automatically collect all of the coins/Money/XP, and also collect the final XP bonus for clicking on three things. If you do a building with spray paint or a mop, you have to wait for the 1 second animation to finish and for the stuff to pop out before you leave or it won't register it. This will save you a ton of time when you have a large amount of friends. You can just visit, click three buildings real quick, and leave without having to click all the goodies or the final thank you XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that's the limit. I'm at the point now where if some of the other Springfields I have on my list don't have XMAS lights by tomorrow night, I'll replace them with others. Was able to collect 150 Santa Coins pretty easily today with all the friends that had XMAS lights so far! Â --Robb "Thanks neighbors!"

I was a little higher, but I deleted anyone who hadn't logged in for over 2 weeks. I'll also start deleting people who don't have Christmas lights. When I try to add someone, the "Results Loading" screen just keeps going and going. Every once in a while, It'll work, but it literally takes about 2-3 minutes of waiting. Gotta love the EA servers!

I didn't really think I would ever really use my Origin/EA account so I came up with a ridiculous name. But anyway, anyone is free to add me if they'd like! Â I have 3 houses with lights up right now, working on getting more of them done. So please bear with me in the meantime and I'll try to get everything lit up!
