No Need to Overcrowd the Heights

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?

I'm not sure if you have to be level 5, maybe LP or another file reader could shed some light on that, but the point I'm trying to make is they have to be in your town (not storage) for the bonus to apply. I don't know why you think you get the bonus from having them in storage.

how do you know it exists? :? the % bonus number remains the same

This bonus only applies to XP that's why it doesn't show up on the conformometer page, as that is XP and money, its in the files and according to LP is working

well if SH gives XP bonus then i'll cram it completely full of level5 buildings and end up with so much XP that I get donuts rewards every couple of days :D :D

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.

Is this true? I can scroll through my different Radioactive Man statue skins, but not my money mountain (which is at max level).

I can't change what the money mountain looks like either, I think hot4 just got confused.

Not surprising, I guess - such a massive update with so much to get a handle on!

My conformity meter and money accumulated hasn't changed after storing various crafted buildings. Hopefully this helps. Storing your vineyards will deduct though.

I made my Simpsons farm into a vinyard. Looks nice.

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.

Thank you for posting this. I've noticed some of my neighbors have moved everything out of Springfield Heights and are using it for the land they've always wanted for their extensive mansions. I will probably keep all the SH stuff there, near the crafting materials, to see easily what can be updated. But once I get all the prizes, I'll move the stores to the regular Springfield, and just keep one condo, mansion, and modern mansion in SH with the high end Springfield buildings. It's nice to have options - and also nice that we don't have to overload the land with too many buildings.

I didn't know the thing about the bonuses, but I did notice that you'd keep the money if you store buildings. The one thing I'm not clear on is if it's at all necessary to use all the attachments. Though I never did the actual math it appears that you still get the RE increase without placing them.

As long as that is the case part of my plan is to build out one Modern Mansion with all the stuff, and then jam all the others together into one giant apartment building, probably with a courtyard area of some sort.

Stuff like parking garages and extra condos will probably get stored though.
