The way new buildings are typically delivered in events now promotes the creating of town 'sections'... (as opposed to the more organic designing promoted by the making available of new buildings at level-up).I could work with this, but what I can't work with is that attaining new buildings often demands frequent, daily engagement with the game during event periods. It doesn't allow players to play at their own pace, but at EA's pace. I get why EA has done this, but it's not working for me.I've been playing this game since near release, and I love the town I've built. But I'm done with the grind of events. A New Year is as good a time as any to decide that I've had enough. This thread isn't a whine thread. I just needed to make it because I've invested years of my life in this game, and I felt it deserved some kind of obituary. RIP.

I actually like having different sections of my town, which is pretty much how the Springfield in the actual show is too. Biggest draw back is how much you have to move things around to make an actual section and not a strip mall with the way new land is slowly released. I don't really want another heights event, but I do wish they'd open up the rest of the room on the other side of the mountain to give us more to work with.I do agree with the daily grind and slow down on the events though. I haven't been wild about the event interfaces since they really started tweaking things from the western event forward.

Sorry to hear that. There seems to be a thread like this every other day lately.

I have gone though a couple periods of ennui with this game. I've contemplated quitting as well.Them I remember that it's a GAME, and not a daily vice that I must either be addicted to or committed to quit. That would be appropriate for something like smoking cigarettes or biting one's fingernails.Once you remove the addiction mentality, you're able to play the game more like listening to a radio station: you turn it on when you'd like some entertainment for the moment. But when you're done you then it off, with no concern for when you may listen again. But it's there, available, and you can listen for a few minutes any day without there being a meaning to it.Hopefully this analogy makes some sense to you and you learn to appreciate the game for its time killing abilities, which is all it should be. If not, piece out!

I definitely agree about the pace and town sectionalism.

But I am a compulsive personality, and I allow myself to get drawn into the events. I do enjoy them for the most part - just not as the main way of acquiring buildings, and the design thing :)

Being able to move things in chunks really helps. I have my forested outskirts, which includes the western town as well as a lot of the spooky stuff and aliens - and now the Pagan stuff. When we get new land, I just move it en masse, then fill in the 'town' area.

I prefer the "zone" style that my town is becoming.

Also agreed. If they gave us land in the form of clusters (4 x 4) squares or so, it would be easier to manage different themed sections of town.
I for one don't like the look of having my Future-world sandwiched between by Western-world and my devil-worshiping-world.

This +100!

I also agree. In fact I've done it. I have permanent areas now I've decided not to touch ever again. I may touch them up here and there but. The way the game is now I got no time to destroy it and start over. I feel its a overwhelming feeling that we get or I get at least....where I never know where to put the new items because I either got no room or don't expect to get more items so soon. Especially after a major event. Makes it harder to think of what to do....and I have to blame EA for this. As for the OP, I'm sorry and I understand your frustration.

A lot of people are getting bored of it. Mostly because the event mechanics and awful prizes.

All this repeat building rubbish should be stopped right away. We are meant to be building a Springfield not a housing estate.

I totally agree with your point.
