Any really cool springfields?

Just to give you the heads-up, the reason why this question won't get many responses, is because you can only add so many people to your game (unfortunately). The average Joe/Jane fills his/her list pretty quickly. We learn to delete those who don't log in for a week or more, to free up space, but a few things happen after that. 1) You fill those free spaces with RL friends, or friends you've made online in threads such as these. You obviously can't delete those folks. 2) You notice that others visit regularly, and develop a sense of loyalty. Especially when they visit a few times a day. So... can't delete them, either. 3) Once someone has a really awesome Springfield and their game name is jotted down somewhere online, it's game over. They have virtually no people that they can delete to make room, and they're pounded with requests, constantly. I'd like to see EA create more friend spaces, allow in-game messaging, and also allow people to visit specific monikers, without actually being friends with those users. Wishful thinking. :)

    P.S. I'll free up a space for you. Though I don't have a really cool, over-the-top Springfield yet, I intend to eventually create one. ;)

    I'm in the middle of buying property all along the outside boundaries. I've also got a full square of radioactive waste.

    Is there a way you can see specifically who has visited you? Or do you just mean that you see your springfield is being visited by "someone" regularly, so you don't want to delete anyone? Thanks

    Heya, Jay. When I'm logged in, I can't tell who is visiting, and I'm not sure if that's possible. Maybe in your device's settings, under notifications? That's just a gander. What I referred to, is when I'm doing something else on my device, and I receive the pop-up notification that someone has visited (it names the visitor). Now usually, I don't pay much attention to those pop-ups (after all, I am in the middle of something else), but after a while, you start recognizing regular visitors' names. And then, once familiar with a name, you might notice that a specific person visited you a few times that day, but only if you were lucky enough to be on your device each time, and not logged into the game. That's all it is. I do wish EA could let you track these things better, just so that when you don't have much time to visit others on any given day, you could return the favor to the specific few who helped you. Sorry that I don't have a better answer for that one. :P

    Ah I see, I've never noticed a pop up notification for visits. Maybe I have them turned off. Thanks a lot for the info :)

    Sure, Jay, for what little I helped you with there, ha! Yup, you must have the push notifications switched off. I remember opting to allow them when I first downloaded the game, and am not sure how you'd opt to switch them on at this point, but I'm sure you'll figure it out quickly enough. ;)

    It's under Settings-Notifications on the device they are using.
