Anyone else as fed up as I am with this micro task times..

And with the added cost of land in the new area it's taking forever to get a big enough portfolio to unlock the bonus buildings.
I think this is the least I've played the game in years as its so slow to progress

I haven't changed how I play much. But it does make for terribly slow progress. Generally set characters on 12/24 hour tasks. Do a bit of faffing about, try and visit a few friends towns and then clear off.

With this set up it's much the same. Except the faffing about is simply the short term tasks and if whatever on the TV that isn't being watched that closely, Great British Homes by the Sea Bake Off Designs in a log cabin, then it might give sufficient time to time unlock a character or get to an upgrade or buy a bit more land. If not then meh.

Hack?
I will look into that.

Also I just received 15 donuts with the message it was an apology for the game being broken. Mine didn't seem broken at all!

Level 56 update now out, with a new character, Lance Murdock (?), American Daredevil, coming with the Danger Pool.

I have to say that I'm struggling with this. I've googled it but I'm stuck for what to do.

I'm on Android

You buy it. It's enormous and useless, as far as I can tell. 150 donuts I think it costs

Yup - I have it. It opens up a quest line for Bart apparently, but has yet to do so for me??

With this new update landing I don't imagine many, if any, people bothering to carry on with Springfield Heights.
A shame as it could have been so much better..

My intention is to unlock all of the land and just use it to house some of my mansions and now Springfield gorge. some of the SH buildings don't fit with my plans for the area so will be moved to Springfield.

That's my plan also, I will have 2 main large complexes with the Modern Mansions and Condos then have all of my Mansions (Krustys, Radioactive man etc) moved up there.

Trouble is with the new update, is that there's too much for my iphone 6+ to cope with!

My Springfield has got so big/crowded (in fairness I have most premium items and all characters) , I can no longer coller money without it crashing.

Anyone else having issues?

Is that possibly just a limitation of the iPhone 6 only having 1GB RAM?
If so, there's not much you can do about it unfortunately

afternoon... embarrassingly only just found this thread!

currently 'enjoying' the micro-task ridden Springfield Heights update and haemorrhaging in-game cash on the ludicrous money mountain just to get that vest skin for Burns.

i've been playing TSTO on and off for about 3yrs, so would welcome a few more active friends to replace those who have sacked it off over the past 36mths or so...
