I just got Smithers and 2 of his quests has to do with drinking. Well, one with drinking and the other about being tossed in the drunk tank for drinking. Seems kind of out of left field. I like the malibu stacy reference. I think they could have come up with better call-backs for his quests.

I’m having issues adding people – my invites keep failing. Can you try adding me?

Just now I keep getting the “\* has newer content than you. Its update time!” So I go to see if there is an update. There is. I guess they have to tweak something. I download it. Turn off the game. Turn it on. Still can’t get into peoples towns.

Nevermind. Had to power down the whole system for it to take.

Playing on the iPad, I always search for a person, get an error message, and then get taken to a list of possible matches anyway. The game definitely still has some bugs.
I’m also one of those who gets logged out, but at least for me it only happens when I leave the game running and turn off the iPad, then try to turn the iPad back on when wifi isn’t available. As long as I close the game before turning off the iPad, I can reduce the chances of that happening by 90%.

I’m leaving all my eggs in “Other Springfield”. That guy _never_ has any.

I do keep XP collected at other Springfields. This has been frustrating. I have tried reinstalling and it’s still doing it. Ugh. Anyone else having this issue?
I installed the update from yesterday and now am keeping all XP. I wish I could get back the ones I lost.
Someone gave me something like 50 eggs last night. Whoever it was thanks!

You were added. I think there was a hiccup a day or two ago that didn’t show all the friends.

I tried you and failed at that as well. There was an update at Google play so I’m hoping that will do the trick.
I let my 5-yr-old son place some eggs, so if they’re in odd places that’s the reason. Yeah, that’s it.

So I’m building the social club. But I wasn’t playing when they offered Fat Tony. I wonder if he’ll show up?

Two questions:
1. Has \*anyone \*gotten doughnuts from snake eggs?

Sorry about that; hit reply too soon
2nd question: The game keeps telling me I have five eggs, but I can’t see them even when I go into “Move” mode and shade out everything. I really don’t want to have to move every building and tree to see if there’s an egg behind it - does anybody have any helpful tips?
Thanks!

1. As far as I can tell from poking around on the interwebs, nobody has ever gotten a doughnut from an egg.
2. Concentrate on decorations. Eggs seem to be classified as decorations, so if one is hidden behind another decoration, both go transparent to the same degree when decorations are hidden and you still can’t find them. If they were behind a building, you would be able to see it through the building when buildings are hidden.

At 1% odds on a doughnut, I think I would have gotten one by now. I’m skeptical.
