No Need to Overcrowd the Heights

I've noticed many neighbors cramming Springfield Heights with multiple Level 5 buildings.

You get and keep the realestate value when you build and upgrade the Classic Mansion, Modern Mansion, Business Center, Deluxe Condo and Valet Parking. Once they reach Level 5 you can store them if you choose and your Realestate Value will not go down.

This is the same deal for all other SH buildings and decorations. Once they're placed, the value is earned and you don't have to keep them in place unless you're trying to increase task payouts.

it's just the same as when you first started playing tapped out, we all had to cram everything into a small space but once you bought more land the better it gets!

But apparently keeping them out gives an XP bonus to the rest of Springfield :-)

Really? What kind of bonus are we talking?

1-5% bonus to XP, depending on the building.

Condo 1%
Business center 2%
Valet 3%
Classic mansion 4%
Modern mansion 5%

This info is from the Simpsons wiki.

I wish we could choose which level we'd like to display like the burns money mountain and radioactive man statue in the town. As if any of us want to display 10 of each building that all look the same. I know I'll be storing some of them.

I plan on storing most of them after I earn the credit. The condos are ridiculously obtrusive -- blocking the skyline unless you place them right at the edge of the map. I may keep one or two of the level one condos beach side.

unfortunately I suspect that this is a bug, and will be fixed

you don't keep righteousness or vanity or whatever whenever you store an item...so eventually the same will apply to SH :(

I'm slightly confused about what you're saying, as I said above keeping them out is what gives you the bonus, LP has seen this coded in the files, so I don't know what bug you would be referring to.

ok i'm just wondering whether this is intentional by EA, or a bug


so this bonus only occurs when the item is upgraded to level 5, and then added to storage?
how do you know it exists? :? the % bonus number remains the same
