BeemerBoy Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Erik and Joey, thanks! Oddly, it took a couple attempts, but things seem to be back online for me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Am I correct to assume Lisa needs to be free to start the Buddist Temple quest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 ^Yes. Rev. Lovejoy has the convo with her as well, but I don't know if you need him to be free. I tapped them both at the same time cause they were both on tasks at the Church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJJman Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 ^ Thanks! Am I correct to assume Lisa needs to be free to start the Buddist Temple quest? I guess I'll have to wait to find out, as all my characters are on 12hr duty till 5pm. Ah - The joys of "Hurry up and wait"!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuurvogel Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I only needed rev.lovejoy. Lisa can still be in task. This does mean that my escalator will be poseponed for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Yeah, you need Lovejoy free and $222,500 to start the Temple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Started building the Temple and made a zen garden for it. I also got Mount Carlmore since I have a bunch of doughnuts from the harp of death. The 2% for 40 doughnuts cars are still the best deal, that's why I have 3 police cars parked at the Lard Lad Doughnuts Also, my friend tried to do the Springfield Downs glitch today and said it seems to be fixed.

OldJJman Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I also got Mt. Carlmore and started the temple. Down to 39 donuts. I'm going to put the temple on a faux hill (I've seen a few people do it - looks cool) and make a garden of rabbits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldJJman Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'll do it tonight when I get home. I took a few, as I thought it looked cool and I'd want to do it someday. The temple is perfect for that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 How can you stack fences and stuff like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJJman Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 How can you stack fences and stuff like that? I just tried experimenting with some fence pieces I have in storage. Just stack them on adjacent squares, starting with a corner, and play with the height to get your own desired effect. Pretty much gives an "M. C. Escher"-esque effect, on a forced, false perspective, in 2D. On a side note - the person whose Springfield that I took the screen shots of, caused me to crash when I visited sometimes. That kind of ties in to when my Springfield caused me (and others) to crash as well. According to the EA boards (I went there to see why mine was crashing. Verdict - building too many things at the same time.), some people have way too many trees, or in this case, fence pieces, and that somehow eats into the available memory. So when I do try this effect, I plan on doing it in moderation. It will probably take quite a bit of time for me as well, as I am very artistically challenged.

televisedconfession Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Oh, so it's just perspective to make it look like you're building up? I thought you could really build up there for a second, that looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Just sent Lenny and Karl on their first quest. Love their voices and sayings so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 ^Same. I am unfortunately starting to get burned out playing. Although I am still sending my characters on tasks, I have completely stopped visiting other towns. Also, kind of wish that they kept the drinking at O' Flanagan's Pub. You could send a dozen of them on that 4 hr task and then they were all in the same place for rapid tapping. It helped me be lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekRx Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yeah, I don't like it when they take away places from the list of tasks, like the mini golf course, Butterfats, florist, El Chemistri, etc. at least Tom can still go to his pub though! Hopefully they give people a good reason to visit other towns again soon, as I've really slowed down in doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
televisedconfession Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I can see how people aren't visiting my town as much as well... I've been getting MUCH less graffiti recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkeyman18 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 One thing I would like to see being added is the people's names who are visiting your towns. like during valentines day when you got the hearts it said who it was from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 ^Yeah, I agree that would be cool. Like Robb had mentioned the game really needs a 'mini-game' component as well. Amber was over watching KT yesterday and showed us a game she's been playing which is very similar to the simpsons but then you can take the characters and do little mini-games with them to earn money or XP. Very simple and adds a whole other level to the game. Imagine a game with Bart skate boarding where you had to jump over obstacles and collect coins or a Tapper game in Moe's Tavern.

Very simple and adds a whole other level to the game. Imagine a game with Bart skate boarding where you had to jump over obstacles and collect coins or a Tapper game in Moe's Tavern. Exactly! And it's soooo easy! Especially when EA owns a shit-ton of games in their libraries that could be easily adapted. The name of the game Amber showed us was "Dragon Skies" by a small development company who have done no other notable games. They totally got the mix between the "building a town" aspect and "mini game" right. I don't understand why EA cannot follow suit. Wearing my "game developer" hat, there should NEVER be a time in any game where you go "Well, I have nothing to do in this game right now, so I need to stop playing", that just goes against everything I ever learned while working in the video games business. Right now, like Eric said above, I've pretty much lost interest in the game. I still play every day, but I check in, set my guys on a 24 hour task, and I'm done with it. I just simply don't have anything to do in the game right now, and setting them on the exact same tasks over and over again, to see the exact same animations, to get XP and money that I don't really need right, has made me lose interest. Sorry EA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJJman Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Just started building the "Adult Education Annex". It's 182,000 and a 36hr build. I got it right after both Carl and Lenny finished their 16hr plant shift. Tonight I'm gonna build up my Buddhist temple!! (Yeah. I lead the exciting life.)
