House farming? Come on... Be serious...

*yawn*

This rant has been done before. Was done better, too. 3/10, but knocking it down to 2/10 due to the rampant spelling errors.

I've deleted a very few friends with serious house farms during wacking day and this Halloween. For wacking day it was because there was almost no space for the snakes, and I couldn't wait for them to show up in that tiny space, and for Halloween I've deleted two (sorry!) because it just took toooooooo long to load their towns -- half the time the app would just crash and shut down.

I don't visit friends except during events like this, but it is nice to get decorating ideas and see other really nice layouts. I really need to do almost a complete re-design, but I've been putting it off.

This has been going on since day 1 of TO. House farming can be pulled of nicely, if some thought is put into it and decorate the houses with roads and gardens etc. not just plonked around like a kid has tipped out his toy box. Have some pride people. Otherwise IMO, defeats the purpose of playing.

My springfield is incredibly messy and haphazard. I'm not at max level yet, I haven't expanded completely land-wise, and the intent is to re-order everything once I'm situated. So I'm not one to talk but....

I have a few friends on my list with just horrible house farms. No roads at all, just like a 20x20 block of houses. Some with businesses separate, but similarly jammed together with no roads at all. They'll often have a block of trees and random vanity decorations just to fill the stars. I must admit...I judge them...and I don't usually give them more than one gremlin.

Some people do it just until they get all the land, which I can understand, it can take forever to save up enough money without spending donuts to get a high multiplier. But I don't judge my neighbors towns. I'm not going to delete a town because I don't like what they're doing with their town.

I could not agree more. I had a small house farm up until I could afford all the land. Then I stored all the houses except those needed for a 5 star indolence rating. Though at the same time, I have seen some that are obscenely large. They can be done tastefully and within reason, where you can still have a nice looking main town

BTW, your sig and avatar is really cool

Who gives a f***

It's their town not yours.

Ha, awesome. There is no right or wrong way to play this game. People * too much about other people's house farms. Why not complain about people trying to follow the compiled map of Springfield? Uh-oh, my Moe's Tavern is next to King Toots like in the show, I'm so lazy and uncreative :-)

It's simple, you will never stop people house farming. It was and still remains the fastest way to earn money as a new player.

That being said, I think if your at level 20 and still farming well............. But each to their own I guess.

I had a house farm but removed it to make room for Halloween stuff.... for me it was all about the free donuts on the bonus levels. I got 3xp from a brown house and I had 170 of those... so thats 510xp every 5 mins. It's lucrative. Of course it's easier to just pay for the damn donuts but if you're skint then it's a good idea. Of course it does ruin the look of your town even if it is out of the way.

I would've stopped house farming (mine is small, about 50 blue houses in corner of the map) a long time ago, but when they introduced the level-up bonus, that went out the window.

So I collect from the house farm so I can build and sell Kwik-E-Mart's and things like Chalmer's cars.

I'm going to be doing house farming for donuts over paying out real cash.
