I was just trying this got to $800 per tap and my game crashed. Worst time investment ever! :lol:

Just successfully used this trick without any crashes, felt like Scrooge McDuck in his moneybin when I saw the total. :)

Then I spent it.. Ah well.

was reading about the posting for getting more money from visiting neighbors.
i tried a little experiment. i have two different Spring fields on an IPad and IPod.
with my low level town i visited with my premium town. i did not collect from any houses ,
just kept going in and out of the premium town.
after doing it for awhile , ( got bored and finger tired out, lol ) was able to collect 25xp and $370
from each of the three buildings from my neighbors

anyone want to try to see how high the money and XP from a building can get up too

I have a question since you did this with side by side devices. Did you get the visitor notification over and over in your premium town. If yes that can be annoying to the ones we do this to. :mrgreen: Try an experiment and turn on the notifications in the premium town (if they are off). I am curious as to what happens.

Where did you read that Mr Burn's mansion will cost $5m? It seems unlikely to me.

I remember the thread... Someone joked in an idea thread that it would be great if Burns Manor cost $1mil. (I even commented that that was an awesome idea, since cash is so easy to come by at top levels.) Then, in true forum fashion, that idea was repeated without the appropriate context and was taken seriously. Ahh, the birth of a rumor.

I have gotten up to around $4750 per tap. I have a neighbor eeno (who shall remain nameless) with 120 burning bushes at .5%, 11 news vans at 1%, 6 world broadcast news dishes at .75%, 40 orange trees at .5%, and the Springfield sign of course at 4.5%.

That is roughly 100% bonus each tap without the benefit of the other premium items that I failed to mention.

My game usually doesn't crash when visiting friends so it has been fairly easy to collect $1M+ each day.

This neighbor doesn't even play anymore, as there is no hospital or Hibbert office or ambulances.

I just lucked out I guess.

This has been discussed at length but I'm too lazy to link to the threads right now.

Personally I don't need money but out of curiosity I tapped up one of my friends with all the premiums until I was starting at $1000/building. I didn't take note of the XP. 50 friends + an hour came out to around $166k. Not bad, and if Burns' Manor ends up costing $5million I may use this trick.

Sorry, I didn't read that anywhere. I was just using that as the only example I could think of to get me to spend time on the bonus.

Newb question here: aside from just speeding up the game experience, you don't really need to do this right? Meaning when you play the game normally you are not typically sitting around trying to make cash so that you can build/ buy your next thing or is that not the case? This is really for people who want to power through a bit.

I've definitely had some points where I was short of cash when new buildings were introduced (and also for land). This trick isn't necessary but might be good to keep in mind if you find yourself in the same predicament.
