I got everything done in act one plus one round of bonus donuts, with 2 or 3 days left over.

It was easy enough, I find it easy enough to take my cell phone out every 4 hours or so to check my town. I even missed a day because I was doing Ned's 24 hour task from the ski lift the same day I finished the snowman, so I had to wait to start the gingerbread house questline.

What stops everyone from being able to take out their phone? If work has a policy against it make a quick bathroom trip or smoke and lunch breaks, start when u wake up, hit it up again at lunch, and again after work and you can easily finish.

What if there's no Wi-Fi or phone signal at work? What if I was a miner, deep underground for 10 hours? (I'm not) but it bothers me when people assume they know all about everybody else's work conditions :-)

Yep, I can play when I first wake up, and when I get home from work, I have a smaller iPhone (16gb) and there's not enough room on my iPhone for TSTO to be installed (and yes I've deleted so much but the apps I need on my phone for work are large and are kinda more important), so my iPad is the only option, also I'm a doctor, kinda poor bed side manner if I was to say to a patient, hold on I have to check my Springfield real quick, I'll take care of that pain just as soon as I have Homer look up the word exotic. And what are bathroom breaks exactly? Let's pretend I stop that long to pee, I'm not carrying my iPad in there with me, and at lunch I'm usually typing patient notes between bites, must be nice to get a lunch "break". But I tear it up on the weekends!

I did not get to the end of act 1, I unlocked the dancing rain deer, and I too was caught off guard by loosing the craft items. I missed the ski chalet because I wasn't expecting it to leave! But now I kinda want the Epcot or the frozen Simpsons on the couch so I'm good with it.

That being said I love my Simpsons town, it completely blows my mind how some people have "feeder" towns as well, first I had to figure out what that even was, then my next thought was how do they have time for that?!? I've been playing close to daily for over two years and I'm almost to the ending of the levels but I realize I play a lot less often than most people on here.

Some of you guys seem upset with me, I thought I was posting helpful advice while asking what stopped people. I guess I could have worded it better. Couple things here, I'm a truck driver, my "lunch break" generally consists of eating a sandwich while operating a split ten shift in NYC gridlock. I'm unsure of your questioning a bathroom break, are you telling me the hospital or practice you work for thinks you never have to go number two, there is more than adequate tap time while having a healthy bowel movement ?

Honest question, you're a doctor and can't afford a bigger SD card or newer phone, or even a secondary non work phone, to that I would say darn you really need a raise for your work! I usually give away my old phone every other year when using my upgrade and if your on a plan like that you can keep the spare phone unactivated and still run apps over wifi. I would understand why you can't pull out and play a video game while helping a patient, but I do not believe that you have zero downtime, I know you guys tend to work long hours and are very busy but I can not think you are unable to peel away for the 5 minutes it takes to clear out the town at least once during a shift.

Anyway best of luck in act 2 and thanks for being a doctor and helping people.
