What makes a good neighbor
Unless it's during an event, I'm not that bothered if neighbours visit. For me it's more important that they have well designed towns that provide me inspiration. Also unconventional uses for items

- State Farm Insurance, yeah definitely having State Farm is all you need.

Question for you kids - what qualities do you look for in a good neighbor?
Neighbours who dont have their music loud all the time and are nice not a pain!
Oh wait you mean the game :P
Good neighbours to me are ones that tend to visit a couple times a week and visit often during the events :)DamnedDonuts wrote:
Basically what ever doesn't annoy you. If anything your neighbors do or don't do gets on your nerves then delete them. There is NEVER a shortage of people needing neighbors so.
It can be anything from selfishness during events or the way they spell their name or decorate their town or whatever. Only you really know what pleases and displeases you and that's for you to decide.
It's a game that is meant to entertain you and make you smile. I know some people stress over if and when they should delete a neighbor and why.
Now as far as your behavior and being a good neighbor yourself then it's important to visit your friends daily if possible during events. In between events it's dealers choice. If you have the time and want to visit then feel free.
Sometimes there are pointers that apply to a specific situation that are neighborly to follow. For example the tapping of the lodge that gives your neighbor 5 instead of 1 emblems. The extra taps on squidport tiles, farm etc., stuff like that.
Just tap away and be happy. :D
Pretty sound advice.- I don't care if you house farm, assuming it doesn't cause my game to crash. I don't love Arnie or Homer in the sleigh, but not everyone uses them every day. I don't care if you graffiti my town or lodge tap or KL tap. I don't expect visits every day when there is not an event or new content. I didn't care if you didn't give me tons of eggs or gift cards or drop gremlins.
Just clear your own damn towns and visit during events. dhlennon wrote:

Thank you kind sir or madam. :-)- Mostly all good & pleasant neighborino advice...
Really dig seeing those w/highly creative townscaping, lakes/ponds, & intelligent use/scaling of housefarms if in use. Just to note to my groovy neighborinos: I'm running bit short in emblems so began lodge-tapping for final week w/both my town's (zxtrm1 & zennglenn), so nobody get pissy; will always complete the 3 taps by midnight 8) - Buildings for me to tap event or not I visit daily for free donuts...... Mmmmmm donuts
- I look for neighbors who visit regularly when it matters OR who have great towns. Occasionally, a neighbor will fit both categories -- this is even better.
For this event, it obviously helps to have neighbors who visit regularly. Most of my neighbors are really awesome about visiting, so I'm flush with emblems and don't really mind the inactive neighbors. That said, I have had to cut some inactives and a few parasites recently. Specifically, there is something un-neighborly about tapping the lodge once and not coming back. I don't mind it if you're still trying to get the prizes, but if you're over 35k and have all of the prizes, there's no reason to play in the most overly douchey way possible when neither of us need the extra points. Your neighbors have helped you get to where you are, so have the courtesy to come back and finish your taps.
One guy in particular was a monster visitor before this event. I noticed he was only tapping the lodge once each evening, so I put him on hide for a week in the hopes he would change his ways. I finally had to cut him loose as he was pushing 50k emblems and kept at it. - Have a neatly laid out Springfield to make it easy to find things.
Also try to keep your Springfield relatively compact.
All the distracting zombies, pets, etc. should be removed when they aren't needed.
Try to keep buildings, trees, etc. from covering too much of the sidewalks and streets so things aren't hidden.
Visit at least every other day when quests are active.
I don't care much for extravagant designs like 3-D creations, mazes, etc., but I do appreciate small details that make your Springfield interesting.
Don't do anything that adds more work or frustration, such as tapping buildings in Krustyland or the far corners of your neighbor's Springfield, or hiding things behind tall buildings, etc.
Use some of the skins for characters to keep things interesting and so I can see some of the skins I don't have.
When they aren't doing quest tasks, try to have your characters do visible tasks when possible.
I hate large 'house farms'.
Helicopter Arnie and Santa Sleigh Homer can be annoying, but they aren't deal-breakers for me (but the EA programmers really need to fix how both show up in the game).
Edit: Keep all the real tall buildings (like ClausCo and the Springfield Sign) at the top or along the left so they don't cover anything. - Have stuff I can tap on when I visit, participate in events.
Not playing for >48hrs = bye bye.
I dont care or monitor how often they visit me. I have stated house farms are ugly but that wont cause me to unfriend them. I do like a nice town layout but thats not a requirement.
