Springfield Heights 101: Modern Mansion

Advertisements

Hey there Hoppereenos!

With all the New Additions and items added to our games for Springfield Heights, it can be difficult to keep track of what each individual item has to offer you in the game.

In this post, we are going to be taking a look at some of the Buildings that you can Upgrade to not only add to the look of your town, but to also help you with Real Estate Points to unlock even MORE items. Buildings like the Modern Mansion


HOW DO I UNLOCK THE BUILDINGS?

First off, each one of these Buildings will require certain “Unlock” points in the Springfield Heights Questlines. So it will take you some time to get through all the Questlines and Dialog to completely unlock the access to these Buildings. No worries. It is a permanent addition to our games, so you have all the time you need to get to them. No need to rush.

Just take a peek at the Springfield Heights Menu. You will first see the Real Estate Requirement to Unlock a Building.

Then once you have reached the Real Estate Requirement, it will then show you the Questline Requirement to gain access to the Building.

 

 

Now let’s take a look at this Building, what it will take to Upgrade and what you can get out of those Upgrades.


MODERN MANSION

The First Modern Mansion will Unlock for purchase once you Collect 6.2Mand get to Cubical Dream Pt. 1. You will need to have also accessed the Coffee Shop and sent a few Characters on tasks to make Latte’s to be able to purchase the First Modern Mansion for 25 Latte’s. Each of the 9 Additional Modern Mansions will cost 25 Latte’s.

Once you place the First Modern Mansion and it completes being built, you can then tap on it to see what it will take to Upgrade it to the Next Level.

 


LEVEL UPGRADES

With this Building being a bit different, the Level Upgrades will NOT change the Appearance of the Modern Mansion Building. So all Upgrades will look the same.

Modern Mansion Level 1 – 5

The game will actually notify you when you have enough Material to make an Upgrade by showing the Upgrade Icon over the Building.

 

 


ADDITIONAL UPGRADE ITEMS

Because this Buildings Main look does not change, options to change its appearance are given instead. Not only will you gain Real Estate Points when you Upgrade, but also access to additional Decorative Pieces for the Buildings that you can use to add to the unique look of each one. Here is the Breakdown for the Additional Pieces.

Level 2 Pieces:

Modern Garage

Modern Lower Balcony

 

Level 3 Pieces:

Modern Side Building 1

Modern Upper Balcony

 

Level 4 Pieces:

Modern Side Building 2

Modern Fountain

 

Level 5 Pieces:

Modern Middle Building

Modern Pool

 

You don’t even have to use these items for the Modern Mansions, you can pretty much place them anywhere in your game and add some cool looks to multiple other Buildings or even use them by themselves to add some cool features to any area. You will only gain access to these items by Upgrading the Modern Mansion.

Some places that you can add these items to are the Zenith Items from the Superheroes Event and even Scandal-gate Hotel. Or you create a “Modernistic/Futuristic Area” with Locations like Zenith locations, Ultrahouse 2, Frink’s Lab, El Chemistri, Super Collider, and Springfield Knowledgeum.  Even the Business Center fits in with the look.

Here is a progression of the “extras” surrounding the Superior Squad HQ and adding from there. 

 

 


ADDITIONAL MODERN DECORATIONS

There are some additional “Modern” pieces you can purchase in the Main Menu as well to add to the overall look. You can purchase as many of these as you want. Keep in mind though, some of these also will have specific unlock points, Material costs, and Real Estate Payout for placement.

Modern Solar Panel: Unlocks at 6.25M Real Estate, Cost 10 Yoga Mats, Payout 30K Real Estate

Modern Art Statue: Unlocks at 6.25M Real Estate, Cost 12 Yoga Mats, Payout 36K Real Estate

Modern Awning: Unlocks at 6.25M Real Estate, Cost 50 Latte’s, Payout 150K Real Estate

 


UPGRADE OVERVIEW

Here is the Basic Overview of the Modern Mansion Upgrades.

First Modern Mansion: Collect 6.2M &  Reach Cubical Dream Pt 1 & Pay 25 Latte’s

Modern Mansion Levels Upgrade Cost Payout
1 25 600K
2 5020 1.5M & 2 Pieces
3 2530 3.29M & 2 Pieces
4  3015  9.26M & 2 Pieces
5 3020 21.19M & 2 Pieces

You can see by the chart that you will need to have Unlocked the Coffee Shop, Institute of Technology, LA Body Works, Pharm-Er John’s Pharmaceuticals, and the Springfield Heights Theater in order to fully Upgrade the Modern Mansions.

Also note the amounts required. That also means you will have had to increased the Storage Capabilities in each location to have enough space to Collect the amounts needed to Upgrade too.

 


HOW MANY TOTAL MODERN MANSIONS CAN I HAVE?

The Buildings all have a MAX Total of 10 Each. You can keep track of how many you have purchased and how many are left by going to the Springfield Heights Menu and looking at the Counter Icon on the Building.

 


WHY CAN’T I UPGRADE A MANSION?

There are several requirements you must meet in order to be able to Upgrade your Building Levels.

First thing you need to look for is what you need to Upgrade the Building. If it is a Material from a Location you have not Unlocked into the game yet, you will have to wait until you gain access to the Location and those Materials before you can go any further.

In this Example, I did not have the Coffee Shop Unlocked yet, so I could not get any Latte’s to help with the Upgrade. Due to this, the “Upgrade” button was grayed out.

You will also see this if you have the Location but your Storage is not high enough to cover the amount. For instance, if the amount was 50 Latte’s and I only had my Latte Storage to 20… I could not Upgrade. There has to be enough room in Storage for the amount Requirements. Tapping on a grayed out “Upgrade” icon will just tell you that you need to gain more Storage in order to Upgrade.

 

If you have a Location Unlocked, enough Storage space to cover the amount of Material you need, but have not earned enough of that Material yet… you will have the option to use your Donuts to process the Upgrade. I would advise highly against this. You will get there eventually and this is here to stay, so save those Donuts for other items that will be better for your game.

 

If you have the Location Unlocked, plenty of Storage space, and enough of the Material you need… you will see the “Upgrade” button turned to Green.

Tapping on the Green “Upgrade” button will bring up the Confirmation Screen asking you if you are SURE you want to spend the Materials to Upgrade the Building. Tapping on “Yes” will complete the Upgrade.

So if you can’t Upgrade a Building, check out these points:

  1. Do you have the Location Unlocked that makes the Materials?
  2. Do you have enough Storage space for the required amount of Materials?
  3. Do you have enough Materials Collected?

You can find the Details for the Locations on their own Posts:
