Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Yeah, I definitely use the "hide buildings and decorations" trick, but I find it much less useful in KL with all the NPCs wandering around.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Ugh, this new post-police quest uses four KL characters. Fortunately I had them all free, but then I got confused and started assigning them in Springfield instead of going back to KL first. I was able to free up a couple, but at least one is not in a building and therefore not un-task-able. :brickwl2:

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

LOL! Yeah, we need to start using Microsoft Project, or at least Excel, to manage all the time from our characters.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Anyone else experiencing a lot of crashes today? You know, more than usual?

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Mine crashes 2 times each time I play, after that it seems fine.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Definitely a lot more crashes lately. I've taken to immediately tapping up all the money and XP to make sure I get it in case the game crashes on me while a big pile of it is sitting above the house farm waiting for an automatic collection.

Which leads me to this question that I've wondered for a while: when is cash and XP actually collected? As soon as you tap it off the buildings and people? Only when it's tapped or automatically collected? I wonder because I play on my phone and every once in a while I get a phone call while I've got a bunch of money sitting there and I wonder if it's all lost because of that. I keep meaning to stage a test somehow, like take note of my bank, purposefully have a bunch of uncollected money, and then call my phone from my wife's phone to find out.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I think it autocollects even if you leave the game (not sure about crashes). As an experiment, I tapped on a house, then jumped over to KL. When I got to KL, my XP reflected the XP from the house.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

This afternoon, I got a random quest to make Moe water down beer, so that's what he's doing until lunch time tomorrow. And now, wouldn't you know it, guess who I need to trigger the next quest in the Unusual Suspects storyline. D'oh!

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I get crashes all the time. There have been times where I've had to recollect things that I collected a few minutes before the crash. I've also had it crash after going through a quest dialogue and I have to go through the dialogue again. I don't know how game progress is saved but it's pretty annoying.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

About once or twice a day I have to log in on my Iphone 4. It keeps signing my out for some reason. I only play on my Iphone so its not like I am playing on different devices.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

It should autocollect. E.g., I can tap on a neighbor's houses and immediately leave to find another neighbor and it will collect even if I haven't tapped on them. Crashes are another matter--I don't think we lose anything, but I know I've had to go back and retap things that I had tapped before the crash.

I've resigned myself to leaving some money/tickets on the table this morning. I've had police, Sky Sphere, and KL quests all ending within a few hours of each other, and rather than (1) tying someone up when I might need them or (2) spending the time to optimize my tasks for each window before the next quest ends, I've decided to just fill like a two-hour slot with one-hour tasks, or even no tasks at all. Too many characters, not enough time on a weekday. :lol:

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Springfield Crackdown quest pt 2 :lol:

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

:lol: I got that one started last night.. I'm about halfway through it....

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Yeah..I'm in a holding pattern for the next 11 hours. Since so many got sent to the slammer.. I put the remaining residents on 24 hour tasks as well. Might as well have everyone free at the same time for the next tasks.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

The frustrating thing is I'm also in a holding pattern trying to build up enough tickets for my next KL quest, and now I have a lot fewer characters to do that. :(

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

That one took a bit of a back seat for me. I'm at about 7400 tickets. I need 10000 for the haunted house. I'm still getting tickets from the attractions I already have, the random park guests, and the balloon popping game.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

The good news is that it was easy to catch Sideshow Bob because the streets were totally clear. :lol:

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Anyone get any donuts from the balloon popping game? I think it's rigged like a real carnival game.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

No donuts for me in the balloon popping game.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Nope, and I've been a steady loser at Springfield Downs after an early win with the 99-1 dog.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

And its going to be that way for a little bit. ;)

After the Crackdown pt 2 quest,

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

My best balloon was for 50 tickets, just one time.

I earned just enough tickets to start my next KL attraction so I went from 20,004 tickets to 4. :lol: Then I had to earn another 250 to acquire some more real estate so said attraction wasn't piled on top of other things.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

i've got 50 tickets a bunch of times. probably at least 5, maybe closer to ten.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Just got a 40 mb update. Any details on it?
