Trees count as items.

SH buildings must be out to count for the hidden xp multiplier, but they don't have to be in the SH area of the map. They can be anywhere on regular land there is space

Don't you have to display the Heights buildings to keep the real estate value? I have ZERO room in my SH area as it's taken up by SH buildings everywhere. It looks messy and I hate it. If I stored everything, I'd have way more room to build regular houses and stuff without having o buy more land, but as I said, I assumed that doing so would take my value (and hidden multiplier bonuses) down.

Last question - do trees count as items toward your maximum? I keep getting warnings that I have over 7100 buildings (right now I have slightly over 7700) and the game may not run as well. However, I design my city as realistically as possible and as such have many, many trees. If I sell or hoard some, can I drop back below the warning limit?

If you display all of the SH buildings the hidden multiplier is 153%.
I've store quite a few of the ones with a lesser % because I wanted more room. I decided to go with something that pleased my eye and decided not to care if I lost 20% of the multiplier.
I do have almost all the land and I could design in a more economical way to fit the rest, but I like having room to breath. :smiley: There's no time limit to try out new ways of doing things.

Deluxe Condo 1%, Business Center 2%, Valet Parking 3%, Classic Mansion 4%, Modern Mansion 5%.

Everything apart from roads counts as an item, some of them even count as more than one item (like the Townsquare ones).

I just went through this with my wife in her game as I convinced her to spend her donuts on mystery boxes. I am telling her the "average"is around 8-9 per percentage point only to watch her pass 10 go through, what I consider a round 8-9 donuts. When I had her go anound round, repeating the average part to her. I was tossed again by what ssemed to be another round nearer the 10 per cycle number.

Kept thinking it was my imagination. Or just the variants (likely not correct term) of the average 8-9 cycle. Still not sure it was not one of the above, but @kherrerat your comment makes me wonder.

@girl22721
First so fabulous and impressive a job doing what you have done.
Never broke down and spent even a dollar, or another currency, on a scratcher? Sometimes I just have to do one to shake off an itch, ha.

Anyway, as I have been working to be all KEM and multiplier in the last 3-4 months trying to refraing from spending anymore of my own cash. I was wondering if you have a post on your general or specific strategy on how you managed to climb/grind your way to such a great position from which to enjoy the game.

Currently running 50 KEM's, a 602% multiplier, and 2,500,000.00 ish IGM.
I killed my cash early on when I switched to playing this way by still wanting all th shiny prizes, putting up too many KEMs, and taking my cash down to below a thousand.

Any information would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Sincerely,

PS: anything I have that generates IGM or adds to my multipler is placed somewhere never stored

I took a mystery box and got the Clamphitheater that guaranteed a 70 donut return.
How does that earn donuts?

Wrong type of mystery box, I'm afraid. You chose the event box, which gives you a random old item for a discount - they have a guaranteed value of at least 70 donuts (or did when they were first available).

The box you want is at the extreme right of the homer Buddha section (premium) of the shop. It has Mr Burns holding a box and costs 6 donuts.

Thanks for the answers, goodbye 65 donuts

@willp_70 Sorry if this is not good information, but just in case it's relevant, the 'Guarenteed 70 Doughnuts' is a reference to how much the prize would be worth normally if bought from the shop, in your case, the Clamphitheater would've cost 145D if bought individually from the store, so you have "saved 80D" by "winning it" out of the mystery box.

@Jabba0the0hutt was the first person in this forum to give me advice on how to build my multiplier and make my town "work". We were neighbors for a while but I had to delete him because his town made my old phone crash when I visited.
