I did some visits, found a couple of brooms, came back to my town, and was up to 4 stars. Went back cleaned a couple more neighbor towns, and bada bing 5 stars back. Seems odd that this is a variable? Would be nice if programmers would release a comprehensive manual of all these weird little oddities they have written into the code.Thanks for posting this, although I don't think this information is new.

I don't get why individuals are getting in a spin about righteousness. It goes down if you fail to clean up graffiti or fail to remove Sideshow Bob before you either close the app or visit someone's town, it goes up if you clean graffiti up in yours or a friends town. Apologies if this isn't right for all but that's just how simple it is with my town and I hardly see it as a "fix" it's just how it works. Also certain tasks may affect it but they aren't as influential.

What I noticed is if u graffiti ur righteous goes down so if u vist don't graffiti my has stayed at 5 stars without having to vist towns. The only bad thing was at valentines update when no one was graffiting buildings :?

The righteousness plunge has nothing to do with neglect. It happens to me often, and it occurs after I have just been vandalizing AND CLEANING neighbors' towns. I clean both my own and neighbors' towns constantly. Yet it just happened again. It could be that I am missing Sideshow Bob, but if so he's doing a damned fine job of hiding, as I've not seen him since the beginning of October.I have been able to detect no reason associated with the drop. The one thing I can say for sure is that it is damned infuriating, and I would like it to stop. Yesterday. I am sick of being penalized FOR BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR. Having your bonus drop is a disincentive to help your neighbors.

Mine was set back to about 1 start randomly - I put Snake on the Task "Do time" a few times and it went back up to 5. ALTHOUGH I do not believe that was a major factor - I have heard plenty of theories.

I haven't changed my game play in months.

I keep Snake in prison and Wiggums on patrol.

I dutifully vandalize 20 neighbors everyday (I have a life outside this game and do not have the time to visit all 60 on the same day so I rotate through).

Yet my rating will go from 1 star to 5 star to 1 star and back to 5 all in the matter of a 24 hour span. Nothing has changed, still get the same amount of vandalizing in my town (I've got good neighbors).

I haven't been able to figure out the magic code to keep it at 5 and I've decided I really don't care. The percent increase is nominal compared to the increase I already get from having all the premium items. I have a 50% increase, so don't care if my rating is a 4.5 or a 5 star.

Even with Snake incarcerated and Wiggum patroling, my righteousness goes down to one star once per day. It might be right after I collect my daily bonus cash... I'll have to test this theory tomorrow.

It doesn't seem to go back up again until I've cleaned up my own town several times. This would be sooner if more of my neighbors would vandalize instead of tapping the Simpsons and Flanders houses. :(

Once my rating is back at 5, it does not drop again if I spray paint in other towns. I try to hit at least one building per neighbor. Sometimes I get 4 or 5 by taking advantage of lag. I tested that just now, and my 5-star rating definitely did not change!

i just try to keep Snake off the streets. he may rob the Kwik-E-Mart now and then, but most of his time is at the police station or prison.

i had a harder time getting to 5 stars on gluttony.

This is the exact same situation with me. Ever since I started the game late August the rightousness drops dramatically to 1* and then dramatically rises to 5*
Even though religiously I visit neighbours spray can and clean up.
I keep to this method for quite a few days without change and it remains at 5* then suddenly it drops to 1*

Spray-canning other people's towns reduces both your Righteousness and theirs. Graffiti- and Righteousness-wise, you should only clean up your town and those of your friends.
