Obviously Hacked Springfields

Prev1
Two Mayan Calendars are possible, I think. If it worked in the same way it did with the Balance Beam then that particular user could've logged on to their iPhone to find a Mayan Calendar in their inventory, and then did the same with an iPad.

Same with two Waterfalls.

Probably worth finding out what a more experienced user thinks. :P :lol:

    If you look you can see Christmas lights on the apartments too. This particular Springfield had all the Christmas lights up and a lot of duplicate premiums. So either it was a hack or a very lazy designer who spent lots of money and got very lucky with the duplication, not once but twice :?

    It would have been cool if we were able to receive more than one waterfall, while that might be a hack, I do like the way they have the Buddhist temple in the middle

    Yeah, the 2 waterfalls is possible with the device switching glitch, although I've seen screen shots of people with 3-5, lol. But 2 Mayan calendars isn't. We had to collect pieces to put it together, plus that device switching glitch didnt work back then. That's like having 2 Duff Racers, or 2 O'Flannigans(someone on my friends list used to have 3 of them, (I mean, come on??) but I think only one is out now.

    I had neighbors who have a multitude of waterfalls and bat signals saying they "bought" their items from an app that was downloaded in an app store in Sweden or Thailand? I mean first of all you only get one for free, ****. If they have to lie, make it believable, right? I deleted them but I kept a list of names so I know not to accept their requests. Not very good at remembering names :P

    One neighbour had 25 limos, 20 police cars, 15 canons, 6 waterfalls, 30 burn's limo's 12 Lard lads, orange and apple trees galore, too numerous to count. But the neighbour has long been deleted.

    As there is no interaction, other than friends lists on this game, I can't see why this is always a topic. These people are only cheating themselves really by not achieving things through fair means. Although EA say its a social game it isn't really. At best it's a comparison game.

    I have a neighbour whose town takes about 8 seconds to load. He/She appears to have everything, and 10-100 of everything you can get more than one of. Pretty sure it's all legit, though, because they've clearly put a tonne of effort into their town's amazing layout.

    The waterfalls, balance beams etc. were glitches in the matrix ;) there were a few lucky people who by switching between devices got two of each item, this was stopped by EA by doing a patch! So those were not hacks!

    The Christmas lights doesn't mean it was a hack either I still have my lights up on Cletus farm mainly cos "he" too lazy to take them down :lol:

    The easiest way to know a hacked town is seeing where the town is at if they don't have certain buildings like I duno GNB but have things that were limited items then you know it hacked. Also people who have LOADS of prem cars etc like 20 of each, doesn't always mean they hack, I have one person on my friends list who used to be on this forum LeFreeze he spent a small fortune on this game.....he even once posted his iTunes bill to prove it :lol:

    Although I don't personally agree with hacking, each to their own on how they want to play the game really, as long as games are released people will always find ways of hacking them

    I like that logic
    Good cheating any bad cheating....
    Isn't cheating just cheating ?
    Fundamentally bad thing ?
    It's like the wife.would say:
    I just cheated with your best friend.not a complete stranger so that's OK isn't it?

    Actually, you're wrong about the 2 Mayan Calenders. It is possible. I for one have two of them in my Springfield, without cheating.
    I had all the puzzle pieces for the caleneder, but didn't bother to assemble it at the moment. So.. Once the halloween was over, the game just gave me one assembled calender in my inventory and i did the other one too. Pufff.. 2 calenders, simple as that.
