I've had this since last night. I was moving a lot of my town around & it's that whole section that is now animated. Flags flying, butterflies flying, steel mill lit up. Flags & trees in other parts of town are not animated so I assumed it was because I had moved them? Nice to see the animations. I tried moving the flags in other sections to start them flying but it didn't work :(

I have this in my town every once in a while. It's been going on as long as I can remember.

Is it any specific area of your map? That is, for those who are experiencing this phenomenon (AWESOME, btw) maybe it is the same area on many Springfields. Like, is it near your Landing Zone? Or do you need to move toward the water, or toward the mountains, or toward the corner where the water meets the mountains, or toward the end of the mountains furthest from the water, or ??? Can you describe, in general, where it is happening? I don't see it in my town, but I have no way of knowing whether that's just because I don't have the right decorations in the right, "animated" area.Would love to see it! :)

For me it's just random. I assumed everyone has this. I usually notice it when the catapult from CoC is repeatedly firing a cat or the marge tetherball thing is going, but it can be anything with its animation on autopilot. I often have Sequel Stop or the windmills from CoC, anything really.

Yeah, another possibility is that it's being triggered by a particular structure. Like, everything within a certain radius from the Nuclear whatchamacallit plant or towers. But to find that out, we'd need screencaps of the animated area in a sampling of affected towns, and then play a game of "Where's the aura coming from?" Or maybe EA is testing out something awesome, like keeping our towns animated, but they haven't fully implemented it.

Yay! :D

It's a great topic!

Thanks neighbor! Love your town, by the way. I always go there first thing when something new is available, because I know you'll be the first one to get it..

I know - I'm terrible that way! Thanks for the compliment, though! I actually just visited you about 10 minutes ago - I'm a little jealous of how organized your town is looking (in a good way, of course) :D
