Non hacked Vs Hacked

Good topic. I agree. I can always tell a hacked town, tons of stuff crammed everywhere with very little regard giving to design.

(Please don't communicate any sort of hack/cheat and how they are done or we will need to remove this thread.)

Carry on! :D

I have some hacked friends that make their town look super. I think it depends on the designer, the majority however have no regard to actual design.

There are also ppl with non hacked games that look like cr@p :lol:

I think that the towns reflect the mindset of the player. If the player is impatient enough to resort to hacks to get what they want, then it typically reflects in the lack of care they exhibit in their town. Granted, a few hacked towns may be pleasant to look at, but the majority just reflect the impatient nature of the player. "I WANT" not "I CARE".

Very nicely put. :thumbup:

I have several friends with hacked accounts as they all look like crap 20 plus of each vehicle all crammed in. I plan on deleting them once this event is over as well as removing anyone who hasn't played in over 10 days

I've seen many towns scattered with junk everywhere and I can't stand it I've played since August and played alot for my town I have all the premiums but I try and keep everything looking good to have an organized town and I think that playing the game naturally has made it that much better

I've got a few friends on my list who obviously have hacked towns (100 of each car, 10 Lard Lads etc) and all of them have very cluttered non-thought out layouts, with everything just crammed together to farm cash and XP.

To me that seems like a complete waste of time, the fun of the game for me has been waiting for things to build, waiting to have enough donuts to buy new characters and trying to make my Springfield look and feel like a REAL working town. It took me a long time to cave in and start buying donuts, but the scratch cards are just too tempting!

I've probably been playing the game almost a year now, slowly building everything up and making the town feel right - if i'd got everything all at once, i'd have had no idea what to do with it all!

I never understand why the players with hacked towns add friends in the first place.

Spot on. I've been playing since August of last year. Once upon a time I thought that Krabapple's Apartment Building was soooo much money! Now I have all three aspirational buildings (Escalator, Magnifying Glass, Skyscraper) and what I feel is a pretty well-thought out Springfield. And while I did have some relatively small house farms at the beginning, those are now spread out into residential sections surrounding the bulk of the businesses. And, yes, I have happily spent some serious bucks on the game in order to ensure that I can jump on the Premium offerings.

Part of the enjoyment of this game for me has been to patiently grow my town over these several months. But that's just me. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.
