How is it fun?

I don't mind, while you are still levelling up if things are not perfect. I had times where a lot of items had been just dumped. I still dump occasionally but never looks as bad as it once did. Once I could afford enough land and had enough cash I started to set things up. It's a journey but well worth the wait. even once I had all the land, I had to wait for cash to accumulate to decorate however I wished.
