How things have changed in 6 years

I still have my original 12 Brown Houses but they have been progressively moved further and further to the far eastern edge of town. That little neighborhood supported all the successive purchases for months and still pays off every day. Homer's house, Ned's and the Millhouse residence are in the same place where I started the game many years ago and will never be moved. My monorail is now four separate sections - each of which is something around an 8 minute ride and I have over 5000 rail sections in storage. And yes, I still dabble with TSTO several times a day. What else do I have to do at 74, eh? Thank you EA for the years of (sometimes) exciting game play.

Just got my 8th anniversary badge in October and was quite surprised that its been so long since this game has come out and still going. A lot more fun back in the old days then it is today.

My 8th anniversary badge is coming up in February :o :)
My first Memory of the game was frantically trying to get Edna and her apartment building during the first Christmas event so I could get the X-mas lights for her building. Sadly I did not get her lights till the following Christmas. What did we have, like 10 characters back then? :D

Hey, old timers, remember the Harp of Doom glitch? That was fun...

I joined at the start of Whacking Day. That event is my favorite. I miss the interaction of visiting neighbors towns to either leave or search for items. The game used to be a lot more fun and more challenging. You really had to work hard to finish the challenges on time. I still play every day, but only visit a few neighbors, because I know where the buildings are that I can tap to graffiti. Haven't been able to leave handshakes for a long time now.

stackable thumbs was fun too. We used to put markers for people to tap the right things so we'd get the multiple points and bonus. I can't even remember how that worked now. Did it release one at a time? The trick was not to clear them all.

one at a time. you were to always leave at minimum 1. than you could for example get over the limit boardwalk tiles.

Been here since the beginning. Game released on March 1st 2012 in the US App Store. I downloaded it that same day. It was released in the middle of February to other countries first. Fast forward to today, I have played pretty much every single day.

Back then there was only 20 levels and that’s it. Game was removed from the App Store 2 days after it was released on March 3rd, so literally only few people had the game. And there was no updates at all. I remember thinking to myself “I really hope they update this game to add more content”. The forum back then was pretty dead. You could go into neighbors towns and steal their Lemon Trees. This item was really rare back then. So a lot of had to either hide it or store it. Eventually the feature was removed. After months and months, the game returned back to the App Store middle/end of August 2012. First content update was Level 21 on September 21, followed by the first ever Episode Tie-in on September 28 & lastly the first ever major event on October 3rd (Treehouse of Horror XXIII)

I remember that back then if I accidentally clicked rush for tasks for donuts, my face would turn white due to how sacred and scarce donuts were. And there was no cancel button for rushing tasks.

Remember that time well, donuts were a scarce commodity back then, very difficult to get for free.
