As good as the "neighbourhood switching is...

Yours don't go in order? If I start at Other Springfield and keep hitting the Right arrow sign, I just go through my whole list of neighbors, in the same exact order I visited them last time...

Actually, my visit rounds to a person depend on their time zone in lots of cases. Not so important during this event --- but, for on stance, it made a huge difference if I tried to help them with gremlins, which expire, or handshakes that might be overwritten and wasted..

If it's evening here in California, it's middle of the night in the UK, and Sweden and Norway, and I don't know what time it is in Australia except that they're on the wrong day and need to get their calendars fixed.

So, no, I don't visit in the totally random sequence generated by EA. The new arrow is great for those who do! It would be spectacular to have a sort of "fast-forward" button that would take those like me to the next available friend. The existing improvement helps the vast majority, which makes it the best for now. :)

Thanks Annette, by the way I'm an Aussie and it's 5:42pm on Saturday here.

Okay, now I'll remember it. You're six hours earlier than I am, but you're on the next day. That's like the old pancake syrup commercial from my childhood, that said "our rich, thick syrup pours out twice as slow as our competitors." When you figure that one out, let me know. :)

I'm agreeing with the concensus. No-one is complaining about it, just saying it would be nice to have a sort feature. Loads of people have mentioned this before, if you could sort by:

Most recently visited by
Most recently visited (by you)
Number of times visited by (total)
Daily Actions Pending
Date added as a neighbour

And even also if you could assign a custom 'favourite' order too, although harder to do and would need modifying the UI.

Remember, these are just simply queries in a database. These data columns exist already, you can see 2 of them on the main friend selection screen already (Daily Actions: and Come back in:) - it's just adding the queries and a drop down that allows you to apply one.

I don't always visit my neighbours in one go. Sometimes I'm interupted by real life. I don't always want to do it late at night etc.

It's just a suggestion. A not even a new one.

Holy crap, thanks for this answer :shock:

Love it, it is what I had in mind on steroids.
I seriously wouldn't need that many options though. :D

I like the "Sort by Daily Actions Pending" option however.

I cant sit down and visit all my neighbors in one sitting so I just visit 3 groups through out the day and I find it easiest if I just visit everyone in order so ill sit out a day if I need to so I can sync everything up and streamline my visits.
