The 5 Star Guide

I've checked and I can get 5 stars if I build another 6 houses, but sadly I have to decline this very tempting offer as it would mess up my town's layout pretty badly 8)

Guess I have to settle for 4,5 stars max. :wink:

By the way, is there anything special happening when a player reaches maximum conformity bonus?

Yup, I too am content at 4.5 stars until new content is released, as I have a personal preference not to double up on buildings.

As for anything special at 5 stars, no, not really, just the 5x multiplier for money and XP, which isn't a big deal versus my current 4.5x multiplier. It's just something to shoot for as a completionist, since I've bought every character, building, and decoration (free and premium, and all LT stuff) there is.

I'm just hoping its possible to reach 5 stars with one of everything in the near future, as it sucks to basically have to use multiples of the same building just to get those 5 stars.

It's not a big deal, just bragging rights, I suppose. ;)

I missed out in some LT items only reason I do not have 5 instead I'm at 4.5.

And of course, there's the shops. 20 shops are needed for the maximum Consumerism rating. Currently there are 12 (4 of which are LT, so only 8 regular/premium item shops that are still purchasable). Those are:

Jake's Unisex Hair Palace
Herman's Military Antiques
Android's Dungeon
King Toot's
Aztec Theater
Kwik-E-Mart
Try N Save
Sprawl Mart
Mapple Store (LT)
House of Evil (LT)
Howard's Flowers (LT)
Sir Putts A Lot (LT)
The Itchy and Scratchy Store
Malaria Zone
Just Rainsticks
Turban Outfitters
My First Tattoo
Crypto Barn

So that gives us 18 altogether of individual shops, close but still shy of the 20 needed for the 5 star rating.

I have 5 Stars in every category but Consumerism. And while I do not yet have the Crypto Barn, I DO have three KEMs in my Springfield, along with every other store on this list, including the LT items. Yet my rating is only 4 Stars for Consumerism, and 4.5 Stars overall.

I remain baffled by the Ratings system.

Are you Level 30? If so then I'm confused also, but if not, it's due to the fact the required number of buildings for each category (to get the 5 star rating) is scaled based on level.

So while at level 20 you may have 5 stars, by 30 you may only have 4 or 4.5, even if you have everything, free/premium/limited time.

But yeah, if you are level 30 then I have no idea. Unless you don't buy premium items, some of which are shops related to Consumerism, that could also be a factor.

I'm at Level 30 (playing since the relaunch of the app in August 2012) and have EVERY premium.

Does anybody know what affects righteousness? I've tried everything I previously believed and I still only have 1 star :?

You have to carefully go through each of your neighbors towns to make sure they don't have any graffiti and if they do then you have to clean it up otherwise it will affect your righteousness rating. Don't leave any graffiti behind when visiting or don't visit at all if you don't want to have to worry about it.

Man, that is strange. Either it's a glitch, or you merely need more Kwik E Marts for Consumerism. And how many Squidport buildings do you still need?

In terms of your other buildings, how many houses do you have? I'm assuming you used multiples of some to get your Indolence to 5 stars?

I hope the Springfield Mall get's released soon! I don't want anymore than 2 Quikemarts!

I'll stick to 4.5. I refuse to have multiple buildings that are the same.

Wow... so to max out Consumerism if you're new and have no limited shops... you'd only have 14 shops after completing SP, and would thus need SIX Kwik E Marts?

Wow. We need more shops lol. Maybe KrustyLand needs a mall. ;)
