Visiting Friends

Love this idea but yeah, doubt it will be implimented :cry:
At the moment, I have a spreadsheet. I am trying to have the best friends I can leading into Christmas :)

Interesting idea, but I doubt I would use this much to reward specific friends who visit me often. Really all I want from a friend is for him/her to be active enough that there are always available buildings to tap when I visit. This means I can just go straight through my friends list in order and get the maximum possible reward, and don't need to worry about finding specific names in the list who are active or who visited me. If my friend also visits me, that's great but not something I am willing to take the time to keep track of.

I like the idea. There are times that you want to reward specific friends and this seems a good way of showing who the active ones are.

Yes, that would be a lot more convenient than the grey pop-ups and random notifications.

I agree, it would be nice to know who is visiting, especially during special events, where visits from neighbors give extra rewards. That said, I don't think EA will devote programming time to a non-revenue producing activity.

I made a list of neighbors and checked off names during Stonecutters and was a little miffed to find out that nearly 2/3 of my list didn't bother to visit during the week I kept track. Using the forum, I found more responsible neighbors and replaced all the non-visiting neighbors.

Yes, forum members do make the best friends for an SF.
I found the same in the past, this time I have been monitoring I would say 2/3 of my friends have been active :)

Good to see so,e feedback I'm surprised that at the time of this writing 6 people are opposed to the idea entirely. I doubt it will get implemented but just a suggestion.

It really wouldn't make much difference to me. I visit all my neighbors at least 6 times a week. The only time I don't is when my start time gets too late and I have to reset it. I don't really care if my neighbors aren't visiting me, although I do get lots of handshakes.

I currently have so few buildings I'm surprised I haven't been dumped by half my friends. I have a small Brown House farm, but some days I just can't get into the game often enough. I can never seem to generate enough cash to buy all the buildings the game offers me as I level up.

The game needs some task or building (like Cletus' farm) that lets you build up your cash without gaining experience. Yes, I know... They want you to buy cash with donuts... Not. Gonna. Happen.

It would be nice. I do try to visit all my firends, but sometimes when I'm really busy, it would be nice to focus on those friends who are great at reciprocating. I look at the names but I don't keep track, so I'm relying on my sometimes faulty memory.
