_Shrug_ I don’t know what the problem is on your end, but I got it fine. And I’m using Android.
Anyway, for people who don’t have the game on them, here’s some more info:

I won’t be spending donuts myself, but I am working toward the decoration.

I just got it. Maybe the android update hit first.

I got the Springfiled Falls this morning. I had Homer in the middle of a Monkey Marathon yesterday so I couldn’t get it until he was free.

Oooo, a waterfall.
wow
do I get money from it? No.
do I get XP from it? No.
Does it spit out donuts at random intervals for my collecting? No.
Does it look out of place anywhere I put it? Yes (I guess I’ll surround it with trees so it doesn’t just look like a rocky mound with a waterfall on it - where’s the water coming from?!?!? Underground?).
Lame.

If you put it up against the Springfield sign it looks pretty good.

Heh yeah. I got the waterfalls then I realized that it doesn’t quite fit in the rest of my town. I put it in the Northernmost corner of my game behind Krustilu Studios. I put some parking lots near it and I’m planning on surrounding it with some trees so it looks a little nicer.

Yeah, mine is in a “holding area” for the moment where I’m putting out-of-place stuff while I figure out what to do with them. I guess I could just put it in storage along with the other items for the time being, too, as I’m not losing any XP or income from it.

Ooooooooooo!!! Just got the Whacking Day update! I just sent all my guys on their overnight missions so I can’t start the mission yet. I wish I knew before I did that. I thought the update was coming tomorrow.

Hey kids, I got the update last night (thank God the dog got up and pooped all over the rug, right?). You may find me as **jsteck13**.

I tried to add you but it appears to take a long time to search.
Maybe if I have a few minutes at work I’ll run through this thread and post all the names.
Oh and so far, I have Homer wacking Snakes and Ned damning them to hell. Lisa’s in the middle of going to school with Milhouse so I can get Bart, so she didn’t do her Wacking Day Quest yet.

I just tried to add you, but on and off this morning I’ve been getting the “Failed to send request” notice. I think the servers are a bit overloaded with new friends. I’ll try again later.

Am I doing the visiting other people’s towns correctly? Other than looking at the cool cities, it doesn’t seem to be that much reward. I get $10+$5+$1 + 2XP for every thing I click at, but a 25 HP bonus after clicking three. Is that all the money and XP you get from this?

If you’re doing it every day for 100 friends in Origin, it adds up (but takes a damn long time to do).
