Springfield Heights… meh?!

Anyone else just think its ugly and boring, i’m tempted to not ever start the quest and just leave it. Does it stop any other game progress if you don’t?

  • But think about all the hidden bonus's the building provide :)

    and the land
  • @fuzznugget77 - it's a bit of a grind to start but you will eventually unlock 8 hour tasks that help it flow a little easier. The land and bonus already mentioned are handy, at least at first, and you'll get two free full characters - Cookie Kwan early on and Paris Texan at the end of the prize track.
    I'll add - I built up my bonus in my second town and stored all of it, only used a few items in my A town in the last redesign and they'll get stored eventually too.

    @Castiel19x - it's not just a hidden XP bonus any more, it shows in the CoM and boosts cash too now.
    You'll often find me on tapped-out.co.uk

    Yeah, I agree that the buildings are ugly and they end up in storage but many of the building upgrade pieces have proven invaluable to me when designing (my airport is made almost entirely of "modern mansion" pieces). I think most of the other SH decorations are pretty nice and useful so I'm glad I suffered through the grind.

    There's a lot to like about SH, but I'm glad I ground my way through it when I did - I don't know if I could be bothered if I had to do it now.

    You forgot Lindsey Nagle.

  • It's currently a dumping ground for things I don't want in SF for me. But that will all change IF THEY GIVE US MORE LAND OVER THERE!!!

    Care to share a photo of your airport? 🙏🙏
  • I use the SH's land to store a ton of xp items. That's all I keep over there. I'm interested to see how JJR2112 uses those modern mansion pieces in an airport though.

    Head over to the Springfield Showcase. I enjoy seeing @JJR2112's designs 'cause they're very similar to how I like to design but so much better in the original use of assets and humour :)

    Either way you'll have a nagging eyesore on the other side of the mountains. So, you might as well get the land and bonus XP as mentioned. And, there are some pretty good decorations. Some cool topiaries, jet skis, other oddities you might find interesting.
    Make Nightmare Pile like Zombie Sandwich. All kids trick or treat at once.
  • Wish there was more of it. In both directions. Or just let us move the mountains.

    Do something, at least.

    Here's my airport I was talking about. Any pilot will tell you this is the runway of doom but they didn't give us many pieces to work with :#

    Here's a blurry grab of my spaceport where I think they worked so-so.

    @JJR2112 Your airport is ridiculously awesome
  • They should open up the rest of the Springfield Heights land one way or another
