The toughest thing was getting over the mental hurdle of dropping $99 on a mobile game.

I had that same hurdle. But when I really thought about it, I've had way more play time and enjoyment out of TSTO than almost any Xbox or PS game I've ever bought... most of which were $60 ea.

It was made a little harder by the fact that whatever pack of donuts I bought for me, I also had to buy for my wife. :shock:

Exactly. The dollar per entertainment hour far outweighs any console game for me.

I eventually decided to buy donuts, and went with the boatload, too. It is the best value, and I play everyday, so it's worth it to me. It's the only game I've ever felt like paying more than five bucks for.

So welcome to the club, and have lots of fun!

I hope you already have Otto, Crazy cat lady and Marge's mom, because you must have them! Anyway I would have saved at least 400d for christmas.

I actually made Otto my first premium purchase after grinding it out!

Welcome to the club!! There is definitely no going back! However, I also agree it is a good idea to stretch out some of these purchases. Your task book will be loaded, but just remember they are all optional.

I thought Crazy Cat Lady was limited time? I bought her already, so I am not positive. I know Marge's Mom is limited time, and I would recommend purchasing her while you can. I love the building.

CCL was released during Easter, but was a normal release (or was changed from "limited time" tag back).
Either way, it's still able to be bought.

Decided I enjoy the game enough that I would buy some donuts. Like everything else I do, I went for the best value and get a boatload. I ended up with 280 left, and bought:

Volcano Lair
Cracker Factory
Lugash's Gym
Barney's Bowlrama
Krustylu Studios
Lotto N' Liquor
Community Center
Frink's Lab
Stu's Disco
The Happy Sumo
Duff Brewery
Springfield Coliseum
The Hungry Hun

Everything I bought was building + character. I'm very happy with my purchases thus far!

If you would've waited, you would have saved 295 donuts during the Black Friday sale. But none of us knew what it was going to contain. But you nabbed yourself a great deal of goodies, and your game is going to make you much happier because of it.

On the other hand (mine), I wound up spending 965 donuts during this 'sale', and saving 335. Actually, if I decide to go for Little Lady Justice and the Film Set, it'll be 1,105 spent and 390 saved. Premium is a slippery slope! I haven't even tried to add up how much I would have saved by waiting til now for all the premium items I've purchased since May. But as I said, the game is happier... And EA is richer for it.

That's a paddlin'!
