I deleted Tapped Out

Sorry, EA, but because of the Springfield Heights Expansion I have deleted my game.
I had 151 donuts remaining, over 70k cash, and was level 40. I did not enjoy the Springfield Heights expansion, so I chose not to play it.

However, when I wanted to not play it, I was still inundated with notifications to send people to make chairs, coffees, cell phones, yoga mats, and pills. In order to avoid these notifications, I attempted to store those manufacturing buildings. However, I am not able to do that, so the notifications will not stop.

I am unable to easily send my characters on their regular Springfield tasks, because these Springfield Heights notifications come up first with an image of a Chair, Coffee, Yoga Mat, etc. to send them on those tasks rather than their Springfield tasks. This interferes with my ability to play the game the way I want to play.

I cannot delete Springfield heights.
I cannot store store Springfield heights.
I cannot disable Springfield heights notifications in any other way.



Therefore, I am no longer going to play this game.

I will check the boards periodically to hope in the next update you will allow players to either store, delete, or disable Springfield Heights or its notifications

Can you not go into Settings on your device and turn off notifications?

Edit: I've just checked on my iPad, and by going into Settings, then Notifications, you will see Tapped Out listed, where you decide the type of notifications you get from the game (Alerts, Banners or None). You can also, at the top of that page, change "Allow Notifications" from the green "on" and slide it to "off".

    Not those types of notifications. The types of notifications where at the very top of your task bar rather than showing available characters, an image of a craftable Springfield Heights Item is on screen. This means you are prompted to send your characters there FIRST and you have to click through to return back to the select menu to send them on their regular Springfield tasks.

    I see it, but that's still not what I am saying. I am not complaining about Tapped out sending notifications to my tablet. I am complaining about the Springfield Heights expansion dominating my character select screen WITHIN the game.

    My game is now sometimes cycling through these icons on the top left. I think EA is trying out a new thing with that. Still not exactly what you want but thought I'd mention it.

    If i didnt already spend money on this game i would have deleted it also, this update destroyed the game for me along with their lack of tasks to see building animations, especially for the buildings we bought for donuts.

    It's starting to get to me, I just spent a whole day getting nowhere now it's all :-
    Produce yoga mats to make pharmaceuticals...
    Produce yoga mats to update buildings...
    Produce yoga mats for the next land expansion...
    Produce yoga mats to unlock the next character :evil:

    No one in Springfield does yoga :roll:

    Doesn't the icon in the top left stop appearing if you fill up the storage for that item? That's what just happened for me when I reached 50 out of 50 lattes.

    It might take a while if you've expanded the storage a lot, but I think if you fill them all up and don't spend them anymore, the only impact you'll have left is any quests left in the task book.

    Some people in Springfield obviously do Yoga. In the episode, "My Fair Laddy" when Groundskeeper WIllie has become a maitre d' at the Gilded Truffle, Krusty requests to sit at the table where he can see the ladies in the Yoga studio.

    I guess if you wanted to delete it, there's nothing we can do to change your mind! :? Hopefully you come back soon! :-)

    Doesn't the character select thing go away when you run out of storage?

    Frankly, you've been whining for a long time about the game so I support you deleting it. You clearly aren't enjoying the game.

    That's what I was thinking. This guy is constantly bashing the game for one reason or another. It's getting annoying
