Another update today, 12/20

I got the update. Barney has 4 hour task now, and the game is just a little bit faster. Gil has never appeared in my Springfield.

probably just a stability thing

Can't be that. The game still crashes like crazy.

being as how the update happened roughly an hour ago, how can we prove that in the past hour the game has been crashing like crazy? either way theres no noticeable difference other Gils christmas tree balloon being gone (which mine was showing a double speech bubble, not sure if anyone else had that or not).

now lets blow this popsicle stand and get a beer...whos in?

Every since the Christmas update, my game crashes almost constantly.

Click on a character or a building and it's like playing Russian Roulette - you never know if it's gonna go "BANG!" (but it's just a matter of time before it does).

I keep hoping these updates will fix the problem, but they never do.

You speculated that the update added stability. It didn't.

My game crashed twice when I was collecting some money from houses.

Two crashes in the span of about three minutes (including the time it took to load the game after the first crash) kind of suggests to me that the update did nothing to address game stability.

But as always, your results may vary.

(As for Gill, I have no idea about him as he's not slumming in my town. I bought Santa's Village the first day, so there's no need for him to be hawking the deal to me.)

I haven't gotten Gil at all. Do you only get him if you haven't gotten Santa's Village? Play several times daily, up to level 24.

I'm just glad I can get Barney sobered up for 4hrs. He just looks so damn cute.

sonny you nailed it! i didnt even notice what you said before.

barney used to have two 8hr tasks...drink at moes for $275 and sober up for $175. someone made a comment that EA wants to keep barney drunk because they pay more for the same length of task.

but after the update barney sobering up is now a 4hr task!

Whether it was this update or a prior one, I just gambled on a mystery Box and received a Homer Buddha, and inside that--

a green trash bin.
:roll:

After the update, Gil stopped being annoying but I also lost the 1 donut I had.

All I notice is that Gill is less annoying.

Be thankful for small blessings.

You can get much higher than $400 a tap using this method.
