I 'gave-up' and started farming...

Not all people that jailbreak thier devices do so to obtain infinite amounts of cash and donuts on this game. I have jailbroke every iphone that I have had. I dont jailbreak to steal things from developers in my eyes thats the same as going to the store and stealing a pack of gum. I jailbreak my devices for the tweaks/customizing. So not all people that jailbreak thier devices do so for this game. Jailbreaking was around long before TSTO was ever thought of. Also just a note about jailbreaking alot of the advances Apple has made in developement of the idevices has been from some of the jailbreaking tweaks and Apple has even hired a few of the developers of these jailbreaking tweaks

Yes absolutely, I've always been adamant on this subject. Jailbreaking is no longer illegal and has so many advantages other than hacking games. I hate the bad rap jailbreaking gets, there should be nothing wrong with wanting to customize your device beyond apple's heavy restrictions. When I updated to iOS 6 it reversed the jailbreak on my device, but I plan on jailbreaking again eventually. It feels impossible to do certain things without it, like typing, selecting text, copy & pasting etc is soooo much easier with applicable tweaks. Same with accessibility, SB Settings which gives you safe mode, task manager to clear ram, and toggles for wifi, power, location etc, widgets for weather, twitter, Facebook, and so much more... Not even gonna get into the amazing themes. The possibilities are nearly endless when it comes to what can be enhanced. Hacking games is a very small and incredibly stigmatized aspect of jailbreaking. Most jailbreak forums don't allow it to be discussed and will ridicule those that do discuss it.

I know people often are actually referring to game hacking specifically when they say jailbreaking, but they're two different things. To hack you must jailbreak, but not vice versa. That's like saying, people steal from walmart, therefore walmart was made for people to steal from it. Or something like that.

Xrobot- exactly my point so thank you for backing up my statement. As for IOS updates I always wait for a jailbreak to be available before I update so hence I am still on 5.1. And like you said many jailbreak forums don't allow and even go as far as censor any mention of tweaks that allow stealing of apps/in app purchase hacks.

Congratulations, Jarci1, you've created a topic that is categorized as sizzling hot! Stride with pride on the dark side.

If you house farm you are a demon. :cry: :evil:

I should point out that I fully plan to hide all houses as soon as I get to a million or something, but it just got ridiculous where I couldn't build anything the way I wanted to. None of my new buildings look good anymore because I can't afford the space.

I only play once or at most twice a day so it was literally over a week for a new plot of land. At that rate my city was going to be the way I wanted it this time next year.

I made a choice I guess...

In my humble opinion, it should not cost progressively more money for land. That is the only reason I am having to do this.

Not sure I get what it is about this particlar topic that pushes people's emotional buttons. :?:

Play the game as you wish.
I purchased multiple houses early on in the game to get return on my investment faster and now I am in profit mode.
Don't buy houses now as I have enough but while I do have rows of houses they are spaced apart and all have roads.
I buy land now as part of beautifying my town, but I'm proud of my town as it looks nice - you can have multiple houses with a great looking Springfield.

Ugh, farming. Not only do certain farmed towns look horrible, but people's dander gets all uppity here when it comes up for discussion.

I agree with what a lot of folks here have already said -- its your game, play as you will. If you find it takes too much time to accumulate cash, then build some houses and reap the benefits. And I also agree, it takes an awful lot of tapping to collect all that money.

But for the love of pete, please at least try to change things up a little. Yes, a block of identical brown houses might be easy to erect, but it will look like a tenement. I've seen at least one town that made some rows that looked like townhouses or semi-detached, so it wasn't too bad.

Personally, I've got about 25-28 houses (can't recall exactly) and I've tried hard to randomize the order of them for each "city block." Its like living in my real life suburb, where the developer has only 4-5 models and just spaces them out.

Am I missing something here? You guys are getting worked up responding to a thread that's been dead for over two months.
