Remember when the game was FUN?

thanks for the reply!
im too scared to nuke my town lol there is just so much effort in it.
sometimes i do rearrange sections, especially when a new building or deco is released
(halloween zone, medical zone etc) but never all at once

hopefully a dev sees this! Defiantly need tapping events again.

I feel your pain. I miss the days when events had variety. Anticipation of the next event's format was one of the most exciting times.

Honestly it's been long enough they could re-release any previous event style now and it would seem new.

I suspect there's a bigger reason behind the lack of diversity in new events, but it's just speculation.

I have made my best effort to find "fun" in my game anyway. Even though my town is 99% finished, I still like to "play" in my town every day, by resetting my favorite visual tasks for certain characters that I find hilarious or cute. The rest of the characters I reset daily on 24hr cycle just for donut rounds.

I've also hidden my IRS building, and returned to individually tapping all the rent money collections. I do use the Skyfinger once daily. But yeah there is something satisfying about tapping again.

We have to be a little more imaginative these days, but im still doing it; and still having fun!

I really miss the friend-related events too. I understand the frustration with server disconnects though. It’s gotten worse over the years and I imagine trying to do one now would be a Bart nightmare. I also didn’t like that there was no clear direction on how to find new friends. A google search eventually led me to these forums, but that’s not really a user friendly solution. Before discovering the forums, I tried starting as many different towns as I could just so I wouldn’t be at such a disadvantage. It was rough. If EA could guide people here to fill their friends list and improve the server issues, friend events could be a great way to reinvigorate interest. In the game & the forums!

I also think they need to do SOMETHING about Road to Riches, and friend point levels too. If they have abandoned the ideas, at least update the wording so it doesn’t say “coming soon” or “so far.” Just tell me I’ve completed it and I can adjust my expectations. They can always add more to it later and alert players with dialogue or a kick-off quest.

Without friend events or updates to friend points, the only game driven reason to visit friends is to maintain 5 star socialism. I personally love seeing how other people are designing their towns, but that isn’t reason enough to visit on a daily basis. Definitely opportunity for improvement there.

When it comes to tapping, I find myself trying to avoid using the unemployment office when I have time. It’s nice to have the option in a pinch, but I hate it when I use it to send everyone on a 4hr task and 75% my characters are in Smooches on the Beach (or Chez Guevara for 8hrs). I’d rather manually pick the tasks so I can display the variety of animations. I also challenge myself by trying find every character to send on tasks without the quick finder. I can usually get about 450 of the 475 characters I have on my own, before giving in and quick finding the last few. Takes a lot more than 5 minutes to reset it all and is much more satisfying.

I miss the first Halloween event, with the Mayan god, and how it interacted with the show.

I still get some enjoyment out of the game, but the town building has always been my favorite part. I agree that it has gotten a bit monotonous over the last few years. I too miss the early events, especially THOH and Christmas/Winter.

People, please stop complaining. You guys complained about crafting in events, and they got rid of that. That ship has sailed. It isn't coming back.

The grass isn't greener on the other side of the fence. You don't know what you had until it's gone, etc. etc.

I do agree that the game is boring, but c'mon the game's been going on for a decade now (which is a helluva long time for a mobile game), and The Simpsons have 30+ years of material (which is also a helluva long time).

We should even be thankful that they still give us new content, they could easily pull the plug on the game and not even give us the time of day.

I don't like the overemphasis on mini-events in between the big, main events. They all blur together to me.

We need something to do between events. :D

I would love some kinda press release on the game's status from its creators. What they have in mind, how its going etc

I'd like that also. I listened to their quarterly call to see if they made any mention of it. But no there was no mention. I'd really like to hear the standing of the game and it's performance on the market.

A: Yes. And I think the game is still fun. I always liked the crafting portion of events. Which was actually a pretty good implementation. Tap npcs for currency. Use currency for new stuff. The dig sites were ok. I really like the polyvac mini game. I still find the game very enjoyable. It has good days and bad days. But the game as a whole remains the great cartoon prodigy. I love playing and have moments of enjoyment when popping in. The game is still fun. I think they will do something intricate again. May not be a event. But it could be something like the polyvac.

The game is still FUN!

I've only been interested in the design aspect so I still think it's fun. A lot less pressure to grind away at things now.
