+I noticed that the lemon tree (got mine in mystery box months ago) has a now payout of 200$When the tree was new, there was a payout of 1000$. I am pretty sure about this.

They used to give 3 parking lots in a mystery box, now they give one. Guess how I found out. :roll:

@TC exactly. I made a topic about how Lisa now says "Yes!" or "Alright!" when she's assigned a task. Moe and Martin's changes were also pointed out. The Java Server quest was only 10min for the first time you assign it, I believe. Good job listing them all. :-)

Good job listing them all. :-) Actually, before the level 21 update (when Martin was added), CBG's Java Server visit was always 10 minutes.I know this because I have Lard Lad and his 5-minute task there would pull in $15, but 10 minutes at Java Server only got you $17 (this is because Lard Lad is a premium item). (But, I'd sometimes send CBG to JS for variety.)Also, CBG's first visit to JS is the full eight hours, not 10 minutes. (I started a second Springfield later and by the time I got CBG in that game, the task time had been changed.)I also have the Aztec Theater and CBG's 6-hour task there pulls in more than an eight-hour job anyway, so I never missed not having an 8-hour gig for him.When they added Martin (who has a 10-minute job), the developers also switched Milhouse's puppy goo goo task to 10 minutes (from 30). So, I suppose they switched the Java Server visit to 8 hours just to even things out a bit.One other change I've noticed since the Halloween update is the animation of the Kwik-E-Mart.An empty store has closed doors and the A/C on the roof is turned off.Originally, a store with people in it would have a moving A/C and open doors.Now, a Southwest-facing store with people inside is the same as before (operating A/C with open doors), but a Southeast-facing store only has the rotating A/C fan. The doors remain closed...I used to have a Southeast-facing store and right after the Halloween update, the doors would open to allow a customer, but then immediately close. The closed doors bugged me to the point where I changed the building's orientation to see what would happen. And the doors remained open.Weird change, if you ask me.

Wow. Excellent eye for detail, Michelle. I doubt I noticed more than a third of the items you mentioned.

Something I have noticed within the last week or so is I have a row of brown houses. Well after I am done tapping and checking to see if I missed anything the brown houses change to different buildings I have in town. One time I had three Moe's in a row another time it was Willies shack. Nothing game changing but funny indeed

Springfield oddities / game changes you've noticed since you started playing.

I noticed that too when I needed to move one of my KEMs this morning.

Hopefully after the snow goes away, it will be the same.

One other thing the new update brought is an automatic synchronization when you log off.

Before, if you wanted to be sure your game was saved to the server, you'd have to go to the friends screen, then go back to your city (to synchronize), THEN you could log out.

The new automatic synchronization saves a bit of effort.

There's new graffiti on the school when you vandalize another person's town. Can't really read it. Anyone know what it says?

I think when you touch a reward (cash, thumb, etc), and the money and xp fly out, they fly out further than they used to. I used to have a really hard time getting rewards close to each other because money and xp from ones I'd already touched were in the way. Now I don't get that as much.

Both Bart and Kand need to be available for this quest. Very ET moment...

oh i totally understand and thats why i stated "when i send him on his quest to chase humans, barts quest is still locked." both are available and barts is always locked.

When your device went to sleep, it used to be it'd go through a splashscreen with donut spin, then would come up and give you a "Welcome YOURNAMEHERE" with the option to go to the EA account menu. You'd have to tap the screen then it'd go through another donut spin before you would get your game.

Now it goes directly from sleep to splashscreen/donut spin to your game.

Noticed a couple of more changes that came with the Christmas update:

Krusty now has a 2-hour task (Dining at the Gilded Truffle.)

Bart, Grandpa, Cletus, CBG, Quimby, & Luigi also got 10-minute jobs (getting check-ups at Hibbert's clinic).

Well, the snow is gone and the Southeast-facing Kwik-E-Mart's doors are back to being closed when a character is inside....

I was hoping they'd remain open (because the spinning fan rotor isn't all the noticeable), but since the game has stopping its constant crashing for me, I'm not too upset.

I could be wrong or have gotten so used to the snow, but the green grass looks weirder than it did
