The looks great Lissa!

Thank you!

Can't wait to see your finished town when you are done with your redesign.

I bought more real estate in preparation for the update.

So I've been waiting for 2 weeks for the new buildings in order to re-arrange the South of my town and hope that the wait will be worth it in order to expend more. Don't buy only one building of all in order to keep it nice and tidy. I've noticed that many of my friends are inactive for a long time now. As the Coins bonus is almost over I would like to add people that have some interesting towns. I would say that mine is great (too good for my own sake) so feel free to add me for more ideas and so on. Hated to take part of forums and stuff but if this is what it takes...

Here are some print screens... for teasing... reply or pm if you would like to add me in order to free up some slots.

You tease!

LOL I told ya that I don't have any more room for friends (try to keep it down around 50 to keep my game stable) but now you've got me curious. Alright....I'll nibble....better be worth my while (KIDDING! LOL). Looking forward to checking out your SF.

Well that's interesting... I've put the xxx but it didn't showed up...

How come that it works when you do it? :?:

You have to be promoted. Keep posting (try to get around 100 posts before the massive upgrade) and around the 22nd of this month you may get lucky and be giving the golden PM that states that you were promoted. Just be active and stick around till the 22nd.

I can tell you how I made my game more stable with 100 friends. Removed all the "labyrinths" and "3D" stuff... just left my Good Ol' Ant Tower and then it worked great... hat to remove lots of trees too but it looks better "trimmed". The Buildings Est of the iStore are just temporary there and left some spare places for new items. Also after reading many threads I don't expend the land only when I really need it. Hope the Burns Manor will be in the update and I'll buy the whole Est for it...

If its a zero sum game, I'd rather keep all the things that make my town beautiful than drop them to maintain 100 friends.

Once I'm no longer getting free stuff from EA via coins, my visiting is going on hiatus.

Awww....I'm sorry. Gut it! LOL it's so cleansing seeing that vast expanse of white. Then it's panic time because you can't figure out where to put everything.

Well I never liked the 3D stuff that much anyway... and of course the 100 friends were needed only during this "free" frenzy from EA... but I'm sure that just like the Detroit-Windsor bridge the new buildings will cost from 300 Donuts and up :) ... cause that's the way EA likes it... I've sent you an Friend-request too as as you seem to be an Okay Lad... Now let me check and judge your town!

I like your town. The prison is cool but my favorite part is the hospital, it made me laugh what you put behind it. And DUDE! That is a massive Christmas tree farm you have going there. What are you going to do with them after Christmas? I wonder if they will generate cash like the Halloween stuff did?

I'm gutting my town today to prepare for the update. I'm paranoid that it's so big and complex that I'll get locked out so I'm putting things away. Hoping that by having less things, I won't have any problems when the update comes on the 10th.

Figured this was a good time to also do that redesign I'd been planning.

The Simpson, Flanders, brown houses will be in the center to make them easier to find.

Just wanted to let ya'll know that if you see a sea of white? LOL it's intentional!

I've got big plans!

Feel free to "borrow" this thread if you have also gutted your town and want your friends to know.

I did a big re-design much like yourself and at first I was crashing when I moved across my town and then it went all laggy but stopped crashing and now it's all fine.
I think if you do experience these sorts of issues, just give it time as I think it's to do with the servers needing to save your game a few times and then store it to the memory bank, so I'm all good for the update with no need to hide things. So if you do decide to do a big re-haul just give it time afterwards to catch up on the change around and you should be set. At least a week, mine took a week and a half to sort it self out but just as a guide should you wonder.

Just thought I'd share my experience :-)

:( not happy anymore with my town, i redesigned so much , that it looks ugly at this moment, pfffff i want the snow to be gone, not funny anymore
