What are you doing during this event break?

Hey, good post.
I took the time earler to really zoom in on my town and stroll around the streets at zoomed in max view.
With all of the capturing of elves and what not going on of late I have not taken the time for a closer look in ages.
There is some sweet detail in this game, nice to have a bit of time to check it out.

Me too! :D
One of my favorite things to do with this game, is take some extra time when reassigning tasks to everyone, vs. Tapping the character locator and selecting the 24hr task as quickly as possible.

I love to zoom in tight, still use the locator tool, but instead just watch them walk through town a few seconds each. It really makes it feel like watching some raw footage from the show itself. This is one of the primary reasons I love my town modeled like scenes from the show. To have the "camera" follow Lisa as she passes CBG standing outside his store, for example, makes me wish the text box listing their task choices was not dead center of the screen

But this particular break I decided to hook up my PS3 and take another stab at GTA4. I got it as a present when it released but it was giving me motion sickness so I didn't get past the first mission.

After 5 hours of continuous play I think I better go to bed. And that was after 2 hours of practicing guitar with Rocksmith. Heh but what a difference in game play, trying to learn 30 different functions on this six-axis controller; or a real guitar, vs. just tapping a screen. So much more involved and exciting.

I sense a huge shift in how my free time will be spent over the next few weeks. A welcome change.

:D

Doing nothing! not even visiting my neighbors, after the Christmas Rat Race.

Sorry to say I don't even care if we'll get a new level soon or another horror event for Valentine's day. Well, that would match the Valentine "celebrations" Bah, humbug :roll:

Every single time I view this image, I feel like I'm playing a dangerous game which will include what I can only describe as my "butt water" breaking. Yeah, that definitely sounds better than "I nearly crap my pants every time I see that!"

Yeah, definitely sounds better. And I know what you mean! The Showcase forum has been great lately, and I've been spending more time there during the event break.

Enjoying better battery life on my phone! Well slightly better, damn Boob Beach

Wondering what I'll have to put into storage to accomodate the building(s) with the next level update and event.

stopping by my town on occasion, mostly taking a break.

Debating what to do with the new land. When I built my Springfield, I did not account that part of the map to extend out, so it typically involves shifting. Not looking forward to shifting the town over.

I've been contemplating a nuke, but really against it as I definitely won't want to rebuild. Or it would take ages to rebuild.

I'm laughing so hard right now. I complained about being bored and like 3 minutes later my game updated with Level 49. :)
