Damn you Springfield Heights, just when I thought I was done with you, you got more land. SH is such a pain but I want more land along the mountains to place the Monorail tunnels. I wish that the SH side would extend all the way. Stupid florapope.

The flu thing? Pretty much nothing at all. You just got the fifth virus cloud floating around.

Xamovo does thank you.

I do go into Other Springfield and then “left” every time just because if I crash or get distracted, we at the end at least get some visitors.

I haven’t logged in in over 24 hours. Feels realllllllly nice, even if I miss it a little.

I haven’t played in awhile and started fresh on a new device. I caught most of the tourist thing, though I could not figure out how to advance the virus thing despite clicking on the cootie cloud and visiting friends.

I like that it seems to give out more donuts now.

The monorail seems cool.

What happened to Krustyland?

Krustyland still exists, but the only time I go to it is when I have to for a daily task. I think the developers have completely dropped it otherwise.

I’ve become a Krustyland ignorer as well, which is unfortunate because I think it’s neat and building the place was fun (especially compared to Springfield Heights). There’s no real incentive to go back though except for an occasional daily task and they even hung a lampshade on that when they made the Duff Gardens build storyline. They used to give random tasks for different characters in between the events and I wished they would do that again but include Krustyland tasks to generate interest in going there.

I go every day. Twice. Sideshow You pays donuts from time to time. I do wish our occasional mystery boxes gave KL prizes or that we could put more of the useless crap from the neverending events in KL.

I use KL to grind out some extra cash. 30k tickets = $100k, iirc.

As long as you registered the game you’ll be fine.  
My game is logged in under a user name, rescue e-mail and password, so I can play it on a few devices.  
If you have been playing anonymously.

I got her, and she’s great. Keep at it.

No, as long as you set up an EA account, it lives on EA’s servers (I can’t remember if the game allows you to play without setting up an EA account or forces you to do so). Just sign in with your EA ID and password on the new device.

LEVEL 12 3/4 here.

I’m a complete newb.

Pissed away almost all of my donuts at first go, but climbing back out the abyss.

It’s not clear how the sharing aspects of the game work but. I CAN LEARN!

Pm me. Please?

If you don’t have an EA account. If you’re logged into EA, your game is saved on their servers and you can log in on multiple devices (albeit with annoying “Your game wasn’t saved properly” warning messages). If you aren’t signed into an EA account, you delete, it’s gone.  
eta: Whoops. didn’t see everyone else answered too. My bad. Sorry for redundancy.

I guess they really don’t want to let more than a week go between some sort of event anymore. I am cautiously optim-excited about the spy storyline though.
