Springfield heights is (has been) such a chore

I'm having a blast in SH in my MAIN town. I'm not making progress toward the big SH prizes, but I love the area, and the craftable objects are a great addition to our inventory. I LOVE that the decorations from SH can be used in SF, because those gates, fences and trees add some great options. :)

I even love the styles of the shop, theater, gym, and Institute of Technology. That Pharmacy building makes me crazy, though. The others seem to "belong" in SH. The Pharmaceutical thing is so ugly, and spews out that smoke, and I hate even the rooftop of it. I tried to hide it in my main Springfield way in a back corner of SF itself. Behind my King Kong Building and big Springfield prison but it still shows up behind them. For me, it made no sense (stylewise) to include a building like that as part of an introduction for an upscale area like SH. It could have been nicer to look at. Plus, I can't imagine a RL pharmaceutical factory putting out that much smoke. (There's a joke in there somewhere)

Maybe one dose of SH is enough for any sane person? :lol:

I agree about the factory - doesn't belong in SH. In my main town I've made a bit of an indusrtial estate with the pill factory (inhale that lovely smoke, it's bound to be good :lol: ), steel mill etc. the decos are great and it's nice to have some other options. I am addicted to the little potted plants.... Perhaps that's because I only have to look at a potted plant in RL to kill it :oops:

And you've very nicely proved the point that it doesn't matter how long it takes (unless you've sold your soul...... :wink: ). It's not going any anywhere and it shouldn't be a chore. So anybody who isn't enjoying it, my advice is to stop for a bit. It'll still be there next week, month, year etc. the world won't stop turning and life's too short :D

You're calling me insane AGAIN, aren't you?! :lol:
I have got to 1 billion in my race-to-the-finish town (yes I sold my soul to Annette too! ) but I am enjoying SH more in my main town, where I have just over 600 million. Each time I log in to my main, I just do 5 to 10 minutes on SH doing the shorter tasks, but it's surprising how quickly you can accumulate materials. I too like 'buying' items from the shop to decorate my town. Just take things at your own pace, there is really no rush to finish!
