Game running very slow

Amazingly my friends visits go by smoothly

My town however lags terribly when I go to collect from, well, everything

33 minutes to visit 10 neighbours this morning, 28 to visit the next 10 this evening.

I gave up trying to harvest my own town after about 11 minutes. I am sure this is going to be a great event but if things dont improve in the next few days (or we at least hear from EA with some sort of explanation) then I reckon I will bring forward my planned nuke and use the rest of this event's time to remodel before christmas event.

I suppose the blame will be laid at the door of too many decorations or overcomplicated towns..... but I know its those bunnies......


oh, and thanks for the comments on my previous post :lol: I needed to let off steam!

I have an iPad mini 2 and a 5s. The game was painfully slow on both. I decided to try storing some items and now it's very playable. I stored all my Springfield heights buildings, all my monorail track, every npc and the burns gold pile. I'm going to get a mini 4 just so I can put all these items back in my town. Hopefully it will be powerful enough.
Neighbour visits are still time consuming with multiple crashes.

Everytime I click the campfire when its finished, major lag spikes to a freezing point.

And if i click on zombies/snakes/bunnies/skeletons i lag also
