It’s hard to search online in general or the forums for this question because the results are unhelpful, but anyone have any good ideas for spending in-game cash? I have over the limit and sometimes I do the rat trap truck thing, but it takes forever. I have all the stupid high dollar things, like the escalator to nowhere. I don’t send characters on jobs any more or collect my buildings but I still rack (wrack?) up the cash ---

With my bonus @ 4035%, I spend cash on bloodmobiles (132k/each) which earn me 1.7 million XP per. It’s a far easier way to harvest donuts than Qwik-E-Mart harvesting. ---

New event which may solve this issue for you: exchange in-game cash for donuts, use those donuts to boost your %, wash, rinse, repeat. This new event… something about music artists, I’m not really paying attention… has a ‘Bourbon Street Band’ available for 20 donuts. The band adds a whopping 4% to your bonus, making the % increase .2% per donut, easily the highest ratio in the game. (For comparison sake, the 5-donut chalk outlines net you .25%, or 1% for 20 donuts, or .05% per donut spent. This band is 4 times more profitable.) So, I bought bloodmobiles… $132k each… net 1.7 million per in XP (~5 donuts). Earned enough donuts, bought enough crowds, so now my bonus is over 5,000% and each bloodmobile nets 2.4 million in XP, a 700k gain since yesterday. ---

By my calculations, I’ll need another 25k donuts needed to buy the 1,250 crowds needed to get me to a 10k %-boost. This would require me to purchase (and sell - bloodmobiles can be sold, which is why they are perfect for this trick) about 1,250 bloodmobiles. Probably fewer than that (the % will be increasing so the # of donuts per bloodmobile will slowly increase), but y’all do the math. Of course, the question of whether I want to fill my Springfield with 1,300 drunk Mardi Gras revelers remains unanswered. 😉 But the path to 10k is there. ---

I had a tsto dream last night. Instead of a building that generates donuts or cash or land tiles or whatever, I dreamt I got a building that generated cats. Lots and lots of tsto cats. ---

Someone else found it for me. There was a thread where someone said they find an avatar for you, and I wanted a change from my little Monopoly terrier. I asked for a name that was relevant to my username. I thought it was from the show. I’ve never really been into these city building games, and my Simpsons knowledge is spotty due to not being allowed to watch the show as a kid. ---

It was probably in the show at some point. Most things in the game originated in the show. By the way, The Simpson’s are still doing new episodes on Sunday night’s. I haven’t watched newer episodes in years cuz they sucked but lately they’ve been ok.
