Land Expansion

It is unlikely that we will get more land soon . With the heights area fully open and all land available obtained , I still have lots of space, and i have been playing 10 plus plus years.

We went a long time with no land added prior to the back end of the heights being opened.

If you design in an even moderately compact way there is enough land on the current map. Sometimes you have to ration space - ie I don’t have a future Springfield and I just stored my pagan area to free up space for the golf event - but personally the design challenge keeps the game interesting for me.

I also crave more land. These guys saying they have plenty may speak for themselves. I am squeezing in anywhere I can at this point. All intentionally undeveloped land is being consumed. All padded parking and forest areas are being concentrated. It is becoming impossible to add new designs without tearing up and condensing existing. It is challenging and sometimes frustrating. I would love more land, and have been hoping there's still one last row and column available.

That said, I expect nothing. The last 2 expansions were huge compared to the history of them all. It seemed they were giving us everything they had. Could they add more? I'm sure they could. But will they? I doubt it. Once again I hope im wrong for everyone's sake.

I agree with all of this. I'm getting fed up with destroying designs to fit stuff in. Maybe if they put something like krustyland in a different space it would make more room. I could see it working well ?

I would like more water, my whole entire water area is full, or there are items that are too close together for my liking.

Now, if it happened that they DID add more land in the future, would that mean for all of us that have bought all the land for now and the golden goose reality produces cash instead of land tokens, would GGR start producing land tokens again if we got more land?

Another thing, any tips for how to stop the lagging in my main town? It’s big so that might have something to do with it…

YET ANOTHER THING, i have considered nuclear bomb my town to rebuild it, any advice before i do that so i dont regret the decision?

Omg, think long and hard first. My original town was screwed at one point, and I had to work with tapped out support to move everything to a new duplicate town- everything went in storage, just like a nuke. It was awful. It IS Awful. It’s been a couple years since that implosion, not of my own causing, and my town still has not recovered. It’s soooooo messy, it may never come back fully. Unless you want to devote tons of time to reconstruction….. better to move chunks around, box small sections to do what you need…. I’d say no based on my past to present issue. But for sure, look through the threads - we talk about this often, get opinions before deciding to do it ?

@4junk3000 you are the great exception to my comments. Your detail and story lines are brilliant. For an average user there is lots of land currently, but the last few events have given us huge items. I have tried to balance decorating with item count, so I certainly use less land. More water would be a definite bonus.
I do worry that much more space will create too much lag in the game. It definitely lags with high item counts.
That all said, as soon as I can see my buildings again I am going to look at storing some areas to allow for a couple of design ideas I want to try.

Yes, 4Junk is one of the master builders in this game. I don't plan ahead - I usually just plop down a building where I have room and then move it to a more appropriate location later. I actually put about 40 characters in storage at one point, BEFORE the big land rush in Springfield Heights. Most are still there and I am pretty sure having those off the board has helped speed up my TSTO as a whole. I don't miss them, either.

OMG Thank you for such high praise, @surefirein93 ; @Willy9292 !!!

Honestly, I appreciate all of you long term tappers! It’s one of my greatest simple pleasures in life, just sharing the challenges of this game with YOU. Many newbs come n’ go; but those who stay and become part of this community, contributing insight and advice, are the people i look forward to hearing from every week. Thanks for sharing what’s new with you and your SF.

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

If you love Tapped out and designing your Springfield then you know you love designing and need more land space. If I could be teleported in my Springfield it would be a beautiful thing.??. I love it that much! Thanks for advocating with me. I hope we get what we requesting… character aren’t cheap. Btw all my characters are on land. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I never thought about nuking my town to start over ??. Anxiety overload thinking about it. Good luck with that option..
