Forum Discussion
from what I posted in the can we all agree to be nice thread: (also thanks AO for setting this up again)
summary:
I only got event currency from around the first 15-20 neighbors (I hadn't done friend visits since SH part 2 happened but I did drop 5 presents as well (in case that's a factor)-- it definitely wasn't 30 neighbors (I was skipping towns without wandering elves
also of note is that some people have reported the naughty or nice menus makes them look not as nice as they've been (so keep that in mind, maybe don't prune based on redness of the bar right away until we see if it's a glitch)
also, I was away from game for 4 hours and came back to a your town is full message but I hadn't fully cleared the town the night before (as the elves were hard to spot at midnight) so there's at least a no more elves left and a too many elves message (but I don't have spawn #s
long quote from last night:
each tap of an elf in a neighbor town gets you santa hat and blue ball ornament (3 taps in each town but there aren't any wandering elves if the town still has floating money so just skip those neighbors to not waste the visits
it looks like you can earn hats/ornaments from a limited number of neighbor visits (I stopped earning hats sometime around 15-17 neighbor visits, it might have been after 15 visits but I just counted the number of towns I visited and by town 20, all that dropped was cash -- note: I haven't done neighbor visits since SH part 2 launched so it's not a case of me using up visits earlier today/yesterday)
elves can walk on pavement (they tend to stay on roads but in towns with very few roads, the elves go everywhere/grass included
town landing zone is simpsons house (so presents tend to appear there although I don't know how to generate more presents) (I know there is a max to how many presents your town can hold (it might be 10 or it might be more-- my guess is 10 but I don't have the math to back that up)
since money stops floating once you get to the elves wandering in your town I think it's safe to clear the rents from your buildings (leaving some for slower to update people if you want)
things to look at : do elves in your town eventually head towards you if you leave the screen still?
elf spawn rate in general (I know that I've seen them in SH so they wander a bit)
max town capacity (I know that once you get them all you get a popup saying no more
confirm how many neighbor visits payout (it could be a glitch)
