who actually needs more land?

Wow, that hair really takes me back....to the days of bad hair-do's. 8)

Oh and I didn't want to come right out and call the troll a troll but thanks for the pic. Got a chuckle. :lol:

Depends on whether the hardware can support it. On my iPad Mini, buildings near the edge of the field of view routinely disappear; it's more than it can handle. To populate more land, there would need to be an increased item count limit, which eats up more memory than certain (older) devices may have.

Personally, I'd first prefer to see better security. I've read accounts on here of people showing up in others' towns, selling everything that isn't nailed down and eating all their donuts. With the Nuke feature, completely trashing someone else's carefully-constructed Springfield would be easier than ever. I do NOT want to see that happen again.

I still have plenty of land to expand on and I have been playing since fall 2012.

I can understand the frustration of the people who desire more land, but won't that continue the technical problems that people are having with freezing, slow play, game rebooting, etc?

Loved his show!

Couple things from the mind of a professional programmer for over 30 years...

- The program can figure out what the device can handle and do the appropriate thing. Like say don't allow more land on a device that cannot handle it, or say don't load friend's towns that the device cannot handle.

- I use to love getting the job of writing a program that went over all the code in the system and gathered data or made modifications. It's a great challenge, especially if you are making mods to billions of lines of code. From reports I've seen on the forum lately, EA does indeed have such programs. The latest was fixing glitches regarding multiple items that could not be used.

I assumed "need" meant "want", and I'll get to the point where it would be a nice to have. So, Yes.

I've been going through the downsizing and it really stinks. My largest is like 4-6 plots for 2 larger buildings (combined structure). My town is getting ultra cramped. 90% of my land has like 2-3 buildings per plot.

I was hoping that the Anvil thing could go to Krustyland, but unfortunately it cannot.

Ironic, that you're calling others idiots in so many words while acting as one yourself through presumption.

My Burns Manor is actually fit into a pretty small parcel of land, probably about one "land square" or less, along with the money pool, the limo, the left-handed car, the Fruit-bat man signal, the fountain, and the Smithers statue.

There are many completionists like myself who've collected everything the game has to offer since the beginning. That said , I don't waste any of my land on lakes or forests that unnecessarily take up room. No, every bit of land is filled with all the buildings and decorations that've been released. I also don't double up on decorations or houses. I use only one of each decoration and house (no house farming or even doubles of houses), and yet am still just about to run out of land.

Once I place Devil's Anvil I'll have room for maybe two more buildings (and small ones at that).

So stop blathering about stuff you have no idea about. You only make yourself look like an idiot.

But how do they implement that for those of us who live in households with multiple people with multiple devices, some much older than others? (The devices. Not the people.)

Sometimes, our Springfield's capacity relies on whether other people in our household *cough* like spouses *cough* are using The Good Devices. How would the program handle that? :?:

Can't take a proper poll about needing more land unless you can also find out if the player is a premium or a freebie player. Poors obviously won't have as many of the premium items.

Or what level they are on. etc.

I would like more land for sure :) tbh if i re-arranged my town a little and took down some of the decorations i could fit more stuff in but tbh i dont want to take down the deco so more land please

I don't think you should have to deconstruct stuff in your town either. If you get something exactly the way you want it, why should you have to change it.

From the app description:

HOW FUN IS IT? LET US COUNT THE WAYS!
1. First, you can get it for free!
2. Make Springfield just like you want it.

The way you want it not the way you have had to settle for. I myself have been forced to put a strip mall in my town. I hate strip malls in my town and in real life. It's my only option at the moment. I need more land. I have several buildings crammed together on a plot of land. So do some of my old, first time friends. Their towns are decorated beautifully except one plot of land with 5 or 6 buildings crammed together because they have no where to put them. I can think of 10 of my neighbors with this problem.

I'm one of them. I'm currently trying to rearrange some buildings to fit the newer ones, but it requires cramming and overcrowding. I still don't even have a good home for my Stonecutter stuff yet. I can't even imagine what this would be like if I had all the premium buildings...
