Springfield heights is (has been) such a chore

I loathed SH in my RTTF town, because I knew I had to get through it. I have only 65 million in my main town but I am enjoying it more. I just leave my tablet open and do other things at the same time. When I get tired of it, I come back later. At my rate, it may take a a few years to finish.

I did just enough grinding to buy all the SH land, but otherwise I've ignored it.

Sometimes characters like Nixon or drunk Smithers will wander up there and get lost, and I'll forget to tap on them for days.

I'm a touch over 200 million on mine. When I first hit level 30 and was able to start SH I worked on it pretty hard until I managed to get my full 50 level 1 buildings and then got one of each of the 5 types to level 5 to get rid of all the get building type up to level whatever tasks out of my task book. Since then I've taken it easier. When I have a spare 25 or so minutes I squeeze in one awards, 2 pills, 3 mats plus how ever many electronics, coffee, furniture I manage to get done in that time.

Finished mine just before the Halloween event. Made a big push to do it before the event to free up characters that would undoubtedly be needed for that event.

It's long and drawn out, but just stick with it and completing SH will be achievable. You have to learn to block off all those little distractions: your job, your wife, your kids... your personal hygene...

kuki send to his task I continue to take coffee with the characters loose but for now sh is the area dedicated to events, area it was Halloween, area is thanksgiving, become area Christmas
In the future I will return to collect

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!

All about stradegy, I dont understand whats taking you so long.
I m done ages ago...
Butt I guess nobody is so crazy like me :mrgreen:

Tip

Just upgrade the modern house sometimes combine with others and buy alle land.

I haven't really paid much attention to SH yet l, what are the main upsides on upgrading and expanding it?

Still slowly grinding out SH to get the final prize. I love that there is no deadline. Aslo just got krusty oil rig for 8mill.. I am broke now and I am planing on earing another 25mill eventually so I will have all the aspriational buildings. I am glad they have given us this in the game as it gives us something to work on when were on the max level earning free doghnuts and have down time from finishing event earily. THANK YOU EA!

I don't mind SH, but I think we need more land :D to make it look nice. But, I admit, I decorate a lot!!

But I got bored with the monorail, so that is in storage. Would like to do something with a Krysty Burger, an the Krusty Station parts, but I havn't figured out what yet.
