Springfield Hts quests impossible!!

I don't get how it's so impossible. It's been pointed out you can't use all 6 characters for all 6 buildings over an hour's time.

The Hollywood awards are the most minimal resource needed (7 pieces of land, only 50 max for office upgrade . So you really only need to send 1-2 characters max. If you have Bumblebee man, always send him.

I only send 2 for the awards, so I make 3 of them at a time, and still bank 3 pharms. That way both increase gradually. Sometimes I only send Bumblebee man and bank 5 pharms. Really useful to get the office upgraded to level 5. Only when I was farming the land out was I using all 6 for awards (after a plentiful stock of pharms was acquired). While the mats are required for the pharms, typically you still get out ahead as you bank 1 and over extended periods you get a full cycle added in.

My devices and furniture has always stayed near 200 since there's nothing to really buy or upgrade with them. For furniture I typically empty out for a gold tree or 2 plants and start over.

The way I see it, the office and valet parking offer a huge reward bonus. So I've been upgrading those.

Trying to upgrade the buildings as per the MANY quests is proving impossible (at least without spending $ on thousands of donuts). How are we expected to upgrade, when several buildings need mats, pharmaceuticals, etc? And, to make pharmaceuticals we need to use mats...to make Gold theater figurines we need pharmaceuticals, etc. I cannot see how on earth these quests can be achieved. Those who have reached 200M and even 1B surely must be rich in donuts, because I fail to see another *free* way to be that far, this soon.
Any help on how to get a handle on these upgrades??? Please?!?

Time is $..
Materials = $

Time + Materials = everything.

Don't rush it.. It will get done.

It's not only possible, it's certain. Just kick back and enjoy pure pixel Zen!

Wise words! It's possible without spending one delicious donut!

The only wisdom missing from Ghall is Taco

It can be done. I haven't spent a single donut yet on anything related to Springfield Heights, and I just passed 338 million. I don't play the game all day long and I even started SH late - not until the forced update - and I have missed a few days since then as well.
My strategy is simple. Set aside time each day (mine is early morning, I may get lucky with an hour in the evening). Set your simple goals for the day - whether it is upgrading a single building, accumulating constructables, or land expansion - and just really work towards that goal. Some goals can multitask if they don't interfere with each other. And just tap away! Don't worry about your ranking or property values. There are days when mine doesn't really budge at all. It will eventually go up.
Also, if you collected the limit of a constructable, don't just let it sit idle - get a decoration with it and put those characters back to task working for those constructables. For instance, I must have at least two dozen gold trees and a few jet skis because I collected the max for chairs at the furniture shop. Those decorations can, in the end, earn a lot of property value for you!

I have all the land, ten (or more) of each building, and I'm almost at $400 million REV and I have not spent a single donut. I have the fortunate ability, as a graphic artist, to be able to leave my game running all day long while I'm at work. I glance over every little while and max out my supplies. Start with coffee and chairs and mats, then when you build a bit of a supply, start building phones and pills. You don't need as many gold statues, so hold off on those for a while if you want.

At the end of each day, I spend my supplies on building upgrades, which has jacked my fortune up at a rate of about $70-80 mil each day. This is not impossible, it's just tedious and a little ridiculous.

I finished without any doughnut. But I'm like Jedi and I can work and play the game at the same time. I just set up a notification in my Outlook to go off every 15 minutes to collect.

I started late because of the donut glitch, but I have been playing SH at my leisure - it's not going anywhere and I'm just enjoying working on it in bits and pieces. No need to spend donuts on this - just sit back, tap when you want/can and enjoy the game - there's too many other things in life to worry about, and this game is supposed to be fun and enjoyable :D
