Can anyone explain how the Righteousness stars work?

Does anyone actually know? The FAQS section dosent seem to have much information.
My stars dropped today from 5 to 1 and a half and I've had no graffiti or done anything diffrent in my Springfield.

Do you send your people to church or meditation ever? When my rating drops, i send marge a d a few others to church, it goes back up when they are done (after 12 long hours of prayer I assume).

Remove graffiti from buildings,
catch Sideshow Bob when you see him,
buy training walls

Church? Are you serious?

And how many training walls do I need to hide behind stuff? >.>

I used to have a big problem with righteousness rating as well, it would drop dramatically for (apparently) no reason. If you buy lots of training walls it helps to keep your rating high (just hide them behind other buildings if you want)

I'm a bit too slow as usual! ...For level 34 you need 141 points apparently and each training wall gives you 10 points towards righteousness. Buildings such as police station and penitentiary also add 10 points each...

I never had this problem until I added a neighbour who would almost always graffiti my buildings, so I find strange that it hadn't anything to do with graffiti in your case. But, yes, Training Walls are the only solution so far.

Anyone have a estimate of the number of walls needed?

When I had my righteousness go down to 0.5 stars (possibly due to the fact that my buildings get vandalized ~4x a day...), I bought training walls until it went up to 5 stars. I have 14 training walls now.

I never had training walls a year ago, and my righteousness rating was 5.

Oh, and my villains onky get to be villainous once a week also, otherwise i keep em locked up.

(Training walls didnt exist 8 months ago).

Pretty sure I have 9 (1 visible, 8 hidden) to keep me at 5 stars. I couldn't be bothered with figuring out how I went from 5 stars to 1 in half a day, so I hid the training walls and haven't dropped since. Now if I could just get my gluttony past 4.5 and my indolence past 3.

It's good to have people grafetti your buildings. It goes up in a few days.

When my righteousness drops I make it a point to clear graffiti in my neighbors' towns. It usually takes about 10 clears to get my rating up from a 2 to a 5. Keep in mind you won't receive gift cards for clearing their graffiti. But the Christmas event will be over soon and you still get XP so it isn't typically a problem.

My righteousness used to drop from five to zero stars every time I leveled up. I would wait for someone to graffiti me and cleaning it would bring me back up to five. It refused to stay there until I got training walls, though. I have them surrounding Fat Tony's and then I put one behind Herman's because I liked the way it looked. So I have about 18, I think. Probably don't need that many, per se, but my rating never drops anymore.

I dropped to one star today, but after visiting about 20-30 neighbors, putting graffiti on their buildings, I went back to 5 stars. Just visit your neighbors and either clean up buildings with graffiti or spray them with graffiti. Works like a charm and you don't spend $$ or have to put a bunch of police training walks in your Springfield.

VoodooGirl81

I keep a lot of inactive neighbors around so I can clean up their graffiti, and that boosts me right back up. Otherwise I don't think it's good game etiquette to steal your active neighbors mop icons. That's what I heard anyway.

sonomio1971

Yikes! I didn't know that there was bad etiquette to graffiti or cleaning up their buildings. Going to check threads now, but that us the first I have heard of that after more than a year of playing.

baddazoner

i got it to 5 with one training wall.. i only had 5 friends (at that time) and didn't graffiti there buildings..

anytime i had graffiti in my town i cleaned it i always caught sideshow bob (even in friends towns) and kept it to 5 stars until i added 20+ people from here for the christmas event where evetyone grafftits your buildings.. went down to 1 star and got it back up to 5 by doing what i mentioned before.

rwvolture

The Swat Van adds to rightousness as well and it depends on how much land you own. In my smaller town 8 training walls did the trick but in my larger town I needed 15

kimmie24

Thought you needed at least 5 training walls for it to go up. Could be wrong.

my righteousness rating has always been 5.

i have no walls or police vehicles. i have never done anything special to raise it, like I've added trees for that rating.

i DO send the Rev. and both Flanders to church fairly often because i use 12 hour missions most frequently.

so you should be able to achieve 5 as well.

graffitiing others lowers their rating but allows them the chance to clean up and recover it.

there is no stealing of mops or icons. anything multiple tapped just increases the bonus. ideally we want multiple taps and multiple handshakes on everything.
