some time ago I bought the last piece of land and cleaned the nuclear waste. Since then Homer's and Lisa's task to clean up Springfield are locked (of course ;-) ). Sadly it is also not possible to buy the land on the left side next to the river. I would like to connect my branch to the main river, which is not possible.
What I did not know: I am a "house farmer" :-) I have 364 blue houses on the right side, so I can earn over $54600 (plus some %) ever 8 hours. I collected about $2.5 million. But what for. There is nothing, I can spend it for, because I am stuck at level 23 an nothing happens. :-) After the Thanksgiving update I always get the same tasks for Grandpa and Cletus.
I can exchange 5 valuable donuts for $500 (what a waste!). But I can not get a single donut for $ 1 million. Since I do not pay so much for donuts, I will have to wait a very very long time, to collect 110 donuts for the Lard Lad Donuts. :-)
I would be glad to hear your opinion.
CU!
my opinion is that you should sell off your extra farm houses and build a proper Springfield.

I have enough space to run a house farm AND bulid a nice Springfield with all the donut-free buildings, a river which leads (alomost) to the lake and some premium items. The problem is: Until the next update, there is not really much to do.
You have all of the land, and enough money to play around... you can take a cue from MoopsDude who, apparently, *never* runs out of things to do! Check out his ridiculously amazing optical stairway: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/9117001.page#25884396
seen a lot of new players buying up a ton of land early. seems like a bad way to spend money that soon. you don't need it til much later. save your $$$ for buildings that earn you more $$$
Personally, I don't want all of the land until I actually have something to put on it. All the really big Springfields I visit are crashy and I don't want to have to scroll around that much to find my people. I also have a problem where, once I buy one block, I have to buy the whole row so that my town is perfectly rectangular - can't stand to have peninsulas jutting out.

Thx for the tip!! Great pictures. Perhaps I can post there something, too. Somewhere else I saw a nice pyramid. 8)

After hitting level 23 and getting Channel 6, I purchased a few (30) sections and built a road maze; and then moved a large chunk of my house farms int it for decoration. I built a road maze because I wanted my characters to walk it; and except Quimby, they do. He walks through buildings, on the grass, and on the water.
I am currently plotting the entire town with the intent of turning all of Springfield into a maze.
The sections of house farm that get in my way I've been putting into storage if they can't be re-purposed.
I don't have the land nor the money yet but some time in the future I'm turn my little crop of house farms into an American Flag.
I figure a square block of blues in the upper left hand corner then alternating rows of white and orange houses. That way I can keep the house farm and consider it decor.
But yeah, I trying to keep my game playable not adding too much decor to the neighborhoods and buying up all the free plots.... for now. Hopefully EA will make the game more stable in future updates.
How many folks have bought all the land? With about $8m needed to complete this game in let's say 3 months, you need to earn around $100k/day, which is like 200 blue houses.
I'm planning an expansion of 9 grids across the bottom and 8 down the side and I figured it would cost me over 300K because I'm at the 40 - 50K stage. So I'm putting my prison building off till I get that land. I don't house farm (I do have multiple houses but not a farm....not even close) so I only make 35-40K a day.
Thought I had it measured out (in my head, and on the device) at 12x12. Wrong-o!!
13 by 13 is nice, but I think my Springfield will stay planned for 12x12 until it HAS to grow (its actually only about 60 percent unlocked right now, so plenty of room to unlock still.)

I've found 5 donuts in my land expansions and I'm at about $77,000 for my furthest land expansion. Just got one more today!
13 by 13 is nice, but I think my Springfield will stay planned for 12x12 until it HAS to grow (its actually only about 60 percent unlocked right now, so plenty of room to unlock still.)
Plus, staying 12x12? 2 million cheaper.
Thanks for the great posts/research.
I got 10+ donuts already from land expansions.
