Multiple of Same Houses?

Ah, I didn't know that! So it pays off for those people... 'Wish I could've gotten in on the action back in the day. *sigh*

Don't get me started on a few other things that could be done back in the day... *looks at the tile stacking glitch*

We all miss something good along the way.

Brown houses are quick to replenish. They are useful if you want to be a good neighbor and leave stuff for them to tap.

This. I've got 7 brown houses (in a DIY "Kamp Krusty" area - I had it before it was cool(/available)!!).
If an event needs tapable buildings, I'll build another dozen or so in a house farm for visitors to tap.

Some things were awful back in the day though. I remember when I first started playing and there was no character finder in the top left corner. You had to manually look for each character in your town and tap them to set their task. It took forever and I always missed heaps of them.

+1

Think of how it would be now, a bigger sp with many more characters....

I,m happy with my little house farm, it now helps me build burns mountain. I did sell of half of them a while ago and thanks to ea changes i gained a lot of cash :p

So they have been worth their money, but now i don't know...

there's really no room to house farm anymore anyway if you're buying up lot's of stuff. I never house farmed but I have tons of houses in storage. I bought them to put out them out when we are in an event where I need lots of things for my neighbors to tap. Think last time they were needed was COC Event.

I have seen in other neighborhoods a bunch of brown houses and a bunch of purple houses, etc.

Besides adding a 'town feel' to the neighborhood, do the houses pay off in the long run? They are pretty expensive to build, but I didn't know if maybe some of you build them to actually generate revenue/XP.

Please share your thoughts. :)

At the start of the game, yeah they can be pricey, but also a needed source of revenue. Eventually, not so much. I have multiples of each of the basic houses strictly for that "town feel." They probably account for 3-5% of my daily revenue nowadays.

Also, initially I only had one of each type of building, be it house or shop, but I came to find out as I was working towards 5 stars that you couldn't possibly have a 5 star town with unique buildings. Somehad to be purchased multiple times, so I have a very modest amount of each house, but they are all clumped together. As others have pointed out, now I leave those houses uncleared for people to tap when they are visiting.

I guess my neighborhoods could be considered a mild level of house farming. I built them to generate cash and max out my indolence rating, back when they were cheap.
