what year did you start playing tapped out?

I started playing in the middle of the 2013 winter event. At the time, I was undergoing cancer treatments and needed something to pass the time. I had just purchased my first tablet and was looking around for a game to install. I've always been a Simpson's fan so when I came across TSTO, it was an obvious choice. By the time the Stonecutters event started, I was really hooked plus I was back in the hospital for major surgery. The nurses didn't like it too much though when I told them I was too busy to get my vitals taken! :D
I didn't have any neighbors until Halloween 2014 because I didn't think my town was up to par and wanted to level up more. Later, I realised that I could have leveled up a lot faster if I had gotten neighbors sooner.
Special thanks to all of my neighbors, past and present. I appreciate all the help and design ideas you have given me through the years! <3 :)
