Springfield Heights - DONE!

Hated Crafting... Hate... first time in my life I used that word and meant it!

So I walked away from it years ago and got on with wasting time playing this game....

Not sure how, but recently discovered that you can get Bonus percentage from placing SFH buildings...

Looked around.. I had maxed out all my stupid SFH crafting stations.. started placing the building down and watched my Bonus grow quite quickly...

Then I saw that I was just 450,000,000... hmm... upgrade this building... now this one... oh.. back to crafting we go.. hmmm... 8 hour tasks... lets just do that...

Thought using this technique I'd get to the end of this hideous quest by the end of 2019...

Then Started sending characters on their initial tasks.. set the iPad up to go dark after 15 mins.. I'd keep it in front of me while working... I get to work from home.. thus Multi Tasking!

Very quickly.. and I mean by that same afternoon... unlocked 'Ziff Mansion'

Hmmm... if we keep at this... maybe done in a few months?

Kept at it.. and a day later began asking myself... maybe by the end of next week?

Now remember this started this past Thursday... Very little interaction over the weekend...

Monday morning... hmm.. progressing nicely after the morning upgrades....

Kept going and just after noon...

'Billionaire Haven' acquired... along with the most pointless and useless character.. Paris Texan!

With the news that EA has said Crafting is dead, I really wanted to just get this done... I was on a mission...

Along with Krusty Land.. this aspect of the game is now officially... DEAD TO ME!

  • the only benefit at this time is that you have the $2b on your neighbor leaderboard. i maxed in one town in case they open up the SH land though

    I'm one of the few who loves the SH area. It's the ritzy part of town where the larger mansions and exclusive restaurants etc go. It's due for an expansion.


    I like SH as a wealthy area to build on. I just don't like the SH buildings or the mind-numbing grind to upgrade them. The next SH update (If there is one) should include actual show content instead. I wouldn't mind another grind if the content improves.
  • I just today before I saw this post remembered that I never bought all the SH buildings in my crawl town and wanted the multipler from those buildings too so I placed my first building there in ages.

    Yeah I don't like them either. I managed to combine a couple of every SH building with regular buildings and make the area look cohesive, but the rest of them are shoved to the back edge of my map like an architectural junkyard until time comes that I can afford to give up their % value.

    Like a lot of folks I did the SH grind before the 8hr tasks were on offer... ugh, the pain... I wouldn't mind another one now, it'll be a doddle.
  • I'm just shy of the 2billion mark. I kinda got lucky in that when i stored some of the buildings, they reverted back to level 1. So i had to re-upgrade them all again. Which helped me get to the higher numbers with out thousands of polo fields.

    I imagine you weren't so happy back when you first discovered they reverted to level 1 :)


    At first no not at all. But since i was already working towards the 2B mark, i took it as an advantage as they add allot of revenue during the upgrades.

    ETA: now i store them every soften after updates to see if it happens again so i can finish the 2B easier.
