I was wondering what other people are working toward? I still have not bought the new land. This is something I am working toward but at the moment I am focusing on saving up in KL. I have just hit enough tickets for me to be happy to nuke but am waiting until I have a day to myself. Personal goal after that is the earn enough cash to buy all the land up and nuke my SF. I have all of the aspirationals so not working on that and premium things, well I don't set goals with them as I never know when I will have donuts. I'm slowly trying to buy all the land in my SF. I still have a few strips to go. I'm also spending this time building lots of crazy terrain. I'm actually enjoying that a lot more than I would have a v-day event. As for aspirationals, I still don't have any but really only want the wig sphere, escalator, and oil rig. The others don't really interest me.

Am currently waiting for a replacement kindle fire. I'm not used to my new mobile yet as it isn't a week old yet.Until the kindle arrives any planting or moving of objects is on hold. Therefore I currently have over $270,000 Still need lots of land however plus a few shops :)

I just bought the oil rig and that pretty much depleted me. So now I'm trying to get back up over 10 million, so I can buy the rest of the land and maybe the escalator and Sunsphere.

Love it though. Barzap - I actually get more satisfaction from achieving my personal goals than completing an event. I think because my goals seem a larger task. djcenturio629 - Accumulating cash does not hurt. I have 5.9mill at the moment. I keep wasting money on silly things, like over 600 hieroglyph walls :roll: Need a fair bit more for the last of the land and nuking though. Looking at possibly post Easter even.

I still need more land and most of the Aspirationals, so that's what I'm working towards. I also want to build up the residential area around my Mall.

I've been told it's smart to stock up on the walls as they look good as basic walls and gives a new look to your SF. Mine is just saving up money and finally getting to quests I've been putting off.

The town design part of the game is my favorite part. Events and new levels are a nice change every once in a while but I always really like the long breaks where I can focus on my designs.

As luck would have it, I nuked my KL the same day the winter event arrived. It's still a mess, and I made an even bigger mess of my town during that event. My goal has been to fix things up better than ever. After a depressing number of bad ideas, my goal now is to make sure nothing is too embarrassing when neighbors visit. Hmm, I guess that makes my Springfield exactly like my guest bathroom.

:lol:

Save those bad ideas for your side town, that way nobody will ever know!

I was going to do some stuff today but think after reading this I may do it in my other SF that gets no love at all.

ink19810- that is a lot :shock: Says my 5mill - I bought more walls before they disappear so have not gone over 6 this week.

Barzap - think a lot of my neighbors are like that. It inspires me to have a better SF. I am desperate to get my town sorted out a little better, which is why I am working toward that nuke. I just can't figure it out otherwise.

JimJ- I have been experimenting with 3D and now a few tips to add to current designs to make them more effective. Just don't have the room at the moment to fix things up properly :(

Lightninghound - we all go through that once in a while. Currently I have a very active friends list and the one player who is not very active is forgiven as I know why. I did last year though only have about 40 active players at one stage. I did a huge wipe (know I accidentally deleted a couple of people who I can't find again though). My refreshed friends list is amazing though.

Oh and Showcase is amazing for design tips :)

I bougt the new land and did some major redesign without nuking my town. I moved a lot of stuff, including my Christmas Village to the foot of the mountains. I've been working on my various shopping/dining areas and downtown, and so I keep moving buildings from one area to the next.

I've done that before but I am wanting to have several buildings located near each other. that can't even see each other right now. Iwon't be able to make the room without tearing down half of what I love, I figure, time to redesign with new things I will love that will be a much better lay out :) Have been taking so many screen shots though.

If we get no update today I'll just dive into my town and redecorate what I have been holding off from redecorating. No need to delay any longer, just going to go for it. Hopefully it isn't a futile effort like the last ones I tried :roll:

My personal in game goal is just to save up for all the premium characters and then work my way through to the other premium items.
