99 is the limit? I think it stopped at 30 for me, but perhaps that was before the Android update. ---

Is there a new update? Can’t visit the towns of Trion, Fenris & Mahaloth because of newer content. You guys on ipads? ---

Yes, Krustyland is available now and you start with Krusty and Homer and Cletus building the ring-toss game. To work! ---

And to think, I put off updating because the permissions were odd. Like, why does it need access to my phonebook? Oh well, it’s updating now. I assume I’m going to have to spend a bunch of money now. I was \>\< this close to a million dollars. ---

Nah, Krustyland has its own currency. Just need $50k for the shuttlebus. Although at the end of the 41st part of the quest, you can trade tickets for dollars. ---

I don’t have enough land to build a Krustyland, so it’s probably for the best that I haven’t gotten the update yet! Making some money for land expansions… ---

Too bad I only have 30 k and Homer is tied up for 25 more hours ☹ ---

Fantastic! I’ll try to leave everyone free when I get home tonight and they’re done with their 12h tasks, and hopefully I’ll have gotten the update by then too. ---

I noticed with the update I/we lost the ability to tap on multiple things at the same time. I kept my houses packed together so I could click ‘between’ them and clear them out quickly. Can’t do that anymore. I always thought it was odd that you couldn’t do that when you went to other people’s Springfields. I wonder what the motivation was for that. Or rather, I wonder what the motivation was for programming in the ability to click on two or three things at once to begin with. ---

When I clean my buildings now, I see the avatar of who grafitti’ed them in the first place as well. I like that update. Keeps me informed who is still playing. You can visit other people’s Krustyland to get tickets, folks, just like money in the main game. ---

Haven’t seen the avatar thingie yet, looking forward to that. Didn’t even know I had an avatar! where can I see my own? Sorry, by avatar I mean you can see their screen-name. I don’t know why I said avatar there. When you click the mop and bucket or on the handshake button, the name of who visited your town briefly appears. This is a new feature on the ios version, anyway. ---

This is a new feature on the ios version, anyway. That’s interesting. I notice a lot of people complaining about “inactive” players and getting rid of them. I don’t really understand the problem. They won’t do anything in your city but you can still do things in their city. ---

You have to update in the App Store on iOS. Not sure if the equivalent is true on Android devices.
