Springfield Millionaires

With over 200.000 cash per day it’s a bit difficult NOT to be a millionaire. Note that I have only 20 white houses in my town and only 12 of them are carefully hoarded somewhere more for fun than need of quick cash.

Hoarding helps when you have not reached the maximum level. Of course sensible players do it either as a real town planning or try to have it as far as possible from their carefully designed town.

After a while you don’t need to hoard houses but a few of them don’t hurt.

The real boost comes from:

1) Multipliers!

2) Premium Characters!

I am a new millionaire @ 5m now. I started in December 2013, didn't do a lot of house farming (more like neighborhoods, some I still have and am improving with decorations). I bought premium characters and put them on tasks, usually shorter if I could handle it. I checked in a lot to clear buildings. A lot of friends could help, but you have to have enough buildings to clear otherwise the neighbors get frustrated with nothing to tap. I bought land - and have plenty of extra now (have it all), but don't have any of the aspirationals. I was surprised when I got my first million ( during Stonecutter's - where we could clear all buildings without interfering with friend visits). It happened fast. Now I am saving for the Sit and Spin, so still clear all buildings once a day and some of them throughout the day. I always leave something for neighbors to tap.

I can see why long-term tappers only visit once a day or less - but I'm not there yet. I still love the game and have lots of improvements to make in my town.

What made me gain money fast was to not do any of the quests. Instead I'd put characters on 8 and 12 hour tasks all the time and I used pink and blue house farms.

I don't get why house farms are considered a bad thing though. I love to see a lot of houses in my town make up an entire neighborhood. I make sure to have plenty of space inbetween houses so that cars could drive and I have lamp posts dividing the houses. I go for a realistic look so having lots of houses looks natural for all the inhabitants.

As a confirmed hater of House Farms (which is a little hypocritical as I have one small one and a Gulp-N-Blow farm), I would be perfectly happy to see house farms if they actually look like a neighbourhood. It's well known that to get five stars on the Conform-O-Meter you need to have shop and house doubles, but not as many as some people have, and not all scrunched together!! Your Springfield sounds great actually, can you put a pic up of your "house farm"? I bet it wouldn't look like most peoples definition of a house farm!!

To me, "house farming" is buying a ton of houses and placing them in rows with no spaces between them. That's basically how a real farm works. But having lots of houses that are nicely arranged on streets with lawns and decorations is not house farming. That's just creating a realistic-looking town with places for everyone to actually live.

While I don't like house farms (even though I had a modest one for the first few months I was playing until I got to max level), I don't like it either when I see people have only bought the minimum houses required by the game (one of each type). What kind of town has around a total of about twelve houses in it? Certainly not Springfield.

Anyway, I can't accumulate cash too quickly since I don't have a huge house farm nor do I have tons of premium characters and multipliers. I've been playing since October 2013 and have everything you can buy with in-game cash (except the $1 million+ aspirationals), all the land, and the entire ocean front. I've bought as many Squidport tiles as I care to buy, and I'm at about $8 million on my way to the Sit 'n Rotate.

In my opinion, I don't have a house farm and I have never farmed. I do have a eleven brown house for the neighbors to click, but that is the house style I have the most of. I do have quite a few premium items, characters and buildings. I own all the aspirational buildings and lI have been playing since whacking days.

The moment I became rich is the moment I bought the last piece of land. Right now I have 6 million, but at one point I had 16. It just happens if you click regularly and keep playing, no house farm necessary.

I didn't buy anything during the Stonecutters event and got to around 2.000.000 or something. I'm at the same point as the threadstarter (i built I&S yesterday though). No housefarming, low multiplier and 100% freemium.

None of the above.

For me, it was almost entirely thanks to the handshake stacking glitch with Channel Six and Arnie Pye, and awesome faithful neighbors. I even had a dozen or so who were willing to do triple-tapping. Do the math. At $7500 per tap, over $22,000 per triple-tapping neighbor ...

A gift from heaven. Had nothing to do with "hard work" or strategy. Just good ol' Arnie and good neighbors.

A huge advantage over those players who came along too late to take part. :(

Blue. House. Farm.

No doubt. The OP can say "ugh" house farming but it works and if you've got areas you haven't designed yet they're just sitting empty. Put that space to work. I've got all the apirationals and 35 million left over.

Rich players are a result of hoarding without spending since they have all the cash buildings and land. Some of them make lots of millions because they have a ton of premium characters with premium payouts, and a good multiplier that doubles/triples the income. House farming is not so crucial when you have 100 taskable characters and a 200% multiplier.

U have sum up my game pretty well, cos I'm completionist with over 200% multiplier, and I never house farm since day 1. After playing daily for 2 years, with 100+ taskable characters, I now earn about 2 million per week, and sitting on nearly 40 millions after buying all the aspirational buildings.

I've never house farmed. I have so much $ & have everything. I've also been playing since the game came out. I remember never having $. Now I don't even collect it
