Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Itchy and Scratchy Land hit are games yesterday and wowsers is this event full of issues or what?! Reminds me of the “old days” of TSTO, back when every event promised to be Simpson filled and bug riddled. For those of us who played TSTO between 2012-2015, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.
It’s been relatively calm in the world of TSTO, when it comes to bugs, for the last couple of years. Sure there have been a few…and the rollback one is a HUGE one…but it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as it was a few years ago. Well…Itchy and Scratchy (always looking to destroy something) sure changed that!
From reading your comments, and boy have you guys been commenting the last 24hrs, the general consensus is the vast majority of you are pretty pissed off. Whether it’s your game freezing, your game lagging, you’re just generally pissed they eliminated Krustyland or something else there’s a lot of ticked off Addicts around here! So let’s get to some of your general complaints and see if we can help you fix some of the issues you may be experiencing…
In the interest of full disclosure, I’m going to start off by saying *knocks on wood* I’m not experiencing any of these issues. My game is running fine, I’m not upset about Krustyland and I’m not confined by item limits, in 5 years of playing I’ve never seen an item limit warning. And for those curious, I play on my Android Phone, Samsung Galaxy S8. It’s a 64GB phone and I currently have 20 GB free. In fairness, I do have an external SD Card to move a lot of photos/videos to…which does hold another 20GB atm.
So while I’m not personally experiencing issues…I feel your pain. I can read it in every one of your comments. So I’ll do my best to display your outrage as best I can here. Also, this means the tips/suggestions to fix some of the issues I have not personally tested. They’re coming directly from the comments, which you guys have posted worked. So don’t shoot the messenger…
Now on with the issues…..
Bugs/Glitches
I want to preface this by saying a lot of the crashing issues and lag issues are happening to iOS players. So it could have something to do with the program and iOS compatibility I’m not sure.
First, the major one…
MY GAME KEEPS FREEZING/CRASHING WHEN I TRY TO NUKE KRUSTYLAND!!!!
This is the biggest issue we’re seeing right now and unfortunately, no one can quite figure out what’s going on. (it’s not impacting everyone, but it is impacting a bunch of you) You get to the part to nuke Krustyland, it shows you K-Land blowing up on your neighbor screen and then BOOM game shuts down/freezes. It happens every single time you try to do it. So now you can’t progress to the actual event itself. What can you do?
Well, you can try some basic steps first…
-Try storing ALL of your Krustyland items BEFORE blowing it up
-Try sending your characters on 1hr tasks
-When you get to the blowup animation on the friend screen hard close your device and restart it.
-Try it on a different device if you have one (i noticed a lot of you are having issues with this if you use iOS, but it’s still happening to some on Android)
If none of those options help it’s a matter of either waiting until Monday when everything will auto nuke OR waiting for a patch from EA. It’s not worth contacting EA over this one because the Customer Support staff doesn’t know what’s happening either. It’s already been reported by tons of players and they are working on a patch for it. Here’s some info that came into the comments from Glen..
Many of you are finding out that our games crash when we Nuke Kristy’s shambles of a park.
Some of us get to the friends page and watch our parks go Kablooey and then e game closes and we are back to where we started with no new event for us. I’ve tried 17 times. Of course EA has been very helpful on the phone and through email. They can’t figure it out but they are working on it. A patch for the issue is coming but we don’t know when. It sucks as I’m a player who’s spent $$$ on this game for the last 5 years and I always land on these events like a fatty on a buffet table at Golden Coral!
Alas. Not now. I’m hoping this is not, as Kevin at EA games thinks could be an issue, that my IPad 4th gen is out of date and cannot accept iOS 11 and higher. I may be forced to upgrade my device and THAT is a class A bummer!
So to wrap up on the freezing when nuking issue…try the steps above. If they don’t work either wait for a patch or wait until Monday (or it could just be your device needs more memory…this game is a MASSIVE suck on memory and data). In any event, it’s not great but it’s options to try. So far the BEST option I’ve seen with the highest success rate is trying a different device. Not feasible for everyone I know, but that’s what seems to be working best.
I CAN’T PROGRESS IN THE QUESTLINE! CRAFTING/NEIGHBOR ACTIONS AREN’T STARTING.
This is one popping up more and more lately. You finish one task but the next one won’t prompt. This, once again, harkens back to the “old days” of TSTO. Back when you needed a character to physically be free in Springfield to start a task. My suggestion is to look at the Turbo Tappin’ Post (linked here), I always start each part of the questline with _____ starts. So look to see who starts the next part of the questline, and be sure that character is free. (if that character is free but it’s still not working try storing and replacing the building they’re associated with. So for Quimby it’s Townhall, for Bart it’s his treehouse etc. This will not work for Homer) Once the character is free you should see the ! popup.
MY GAME IS SUPER LAGGY/FREEZES FOR 30 SECONDS BEFORE STARTING AGAIN.
This is another common one we’re seeing. Based on a great comment from Jenn and feedback from others who have tried it…so far this is the best method we’ve found the fixing the Lag/Temporary freeze issues…
My Springfield was lagging badly. I turned the corner track on the Injury ride, the the track isn’t continuous, and the lag vanished. Just in case that helps anyone else…
So basically, once you finish the task to fix the Injury 500 track pull that track out again so it stops the continuous animation (post about fixing the track can be found here). I remember something similar happening with the Monorail when it first came out. The continuous animation (combined with having an older device and/or having a ton of items in your Springfield) creates that lag.
So give it a whirl and see if it helps, what else do you have to lose?
While we’re on the topic of Injury 500…
HOW DO I FIX THE INJURY 500 SO I CAN COMPLETE THE TASK?
If you’re stuck on that part of the questline (The Itchy-Est Place on Earth Pt. 3) check out the rundown post here for details on how to fix the track to complete the task.
I’VE STORED ALL MY KRUSTYLAND ITEMS, NUKED IT AND NOW I’M MISSING A BUNCH OF ITEMS!
Best thing I can tell you to do if this is happening to you, make a list of what you’re missing and contact EA. If you get a competent representative they should be able to restore the missing items for you. Unfortunately, there’s no quick fix to this issue they’ll have to be restored by EA.
This also applies to buildings that were in process of being built and have disappeared with the nuke.
WHEN I TRY TO GROUP PLACE ITEMS IN STORAGE FROM MY KRUSTYLAND MY GAME FREEZES.
This could be for a variety of reasons and a big one could be item limits. The item limit warning is there for a reason and if you’re seeing it it’s possible your game performance can/will suffer. Try holding off on group placing items from K-Land until some of the other issues are resolved and see if that helps. You can also try following the same steps for general lag/temporary freeze (disconnect part of the Injury 500) and see if that helps.
I HAVE TAPPABLES THAT WON’T DISAPPEAR WHEN I TAP THEM!
It’s likely you’re not tapping an event tappable, instead, you’re tapping a Krustyland Visitor. Krustyland Visitors will now appear in Springfield and cannot be cleared by tapping. They’ll just roam around and earn tickets, just like they did in K-Land.
These are event tappables:
If they don’t look like that, they can’t be tapped. So if you’re tapping and nothing is happening, it’s like that it’s a K-Land visitor and not an event Tappable.
PRINCESS PENELOPE IS MISSING AFTER MY NUKE OF KRUSTYLAND! HOW DO I GET HER BACK?!
Princess P is tied directly to the Giant Wheel that was placed in Krustyland. So to get her back in Springfield place the Giant Wheel from your inventory into Springfield and she’ll reappear.
Also, check your inventory for other characters. There have been reports of other characters getting stuck in inventory after the nuke…but Princess P is the only one directly tied to a K-Land item.
Ok, I think that covers all the bugs/glitches..let’s work on some general tips/tricks…
Tips, Tricks & General Knowledge
–The Injury 500 Does NOT Earn event currency
You’ll only earn event currency from sending characters to Staff Rides (via tapping Itchy and Scratchy gate), tapping the event tappables, neighbor actions and daily challenges. Sending Bart/Lisa (even Homer or Marge) to the Injury 500 will not earn event currency. (yes I know there are other ways to earn currency, like the premium Minefield…really just making a point about Injury 500 NOT earning currency)
–Krustyland Shuttles Now At as Teleporters
Missed out on the teleporters? Now you have a set for free. The Krustyland Buses now act as teleporters between each other. So place them in various sections of your Springfield to quickly move from one end of town to the other.
You may need to pull the other shuttle out of inventory. If you tap on the shuttle already in your Springfield and hit teleport it’ll give you the option to find the one in storage, and take you right to it in storage. (so you don’t have to search)
-The Item Limit Has Been Increased
Late yesterday EA upped the item limit. It’s now 11,600. But remember, you could have performance issues by maxing out your town. So if you’re still getting lag after following the tips above it could be because you have a lot of items in your town.
–Quickly Find Tappables By Using the Level Up Option On the Crafting Menu
They’ve brought back levels for crafting with this event. While that in it of itself stinks, it is nice because now you have a quick way to find tappables in your Springfield. As long as you have LESS crafting currency than is required to level up simply tap the level up option in your crafting menu, followed by Do It and your game will quickly take you to the tappables in Springfield….
–You Do NOT Need to Purchase Scratchy to Complete the Event.
I’ve had a few of you ask this, no Scratchy is not required for this event. If you choose not to spend the donuts you won’t lose anything…well except having Scratchy as a character.
–Don’t Place the Krustyland Entrance Unless You’re Sure You Want it In Your Springfield.
Once you place it you can’t store it again. So don’t place it unless you’re 100% sure you want it in your town.
As a side note…some of you are asking what to do with your tickets once you’ve purchased all the land in K-Land. You can either save them to buy K-Land items (they still hold value), convert them to cash (you’ll need the K-Land Entrance for that) or do nothing. You won’t lose them.
Ok now that we’ve covered the bugs, tips & tricks it’s time for some rants…
Rants
These are basically things I see you guys yelling about in the comments…
Scratchy is 300 Donuts?! Are they freaking kidding me?!
Yes, he’s really 300 donuts. No, they’re not kidding you. I’ve been saying this for a LONG time…this is the product of donut farming. The more free donuts that are out there the lower their value becomes. Thus destroying the currency value for those of us that actually spend cash for donuts.
Don’t be surprised if you see more characters coming into the game at that price point…or higher.
I’M REALLY MAD AT EA! I love my Krustyland and I worked hard on it! Why can’t I keep it? If I skip the event can I keep it?!
No. Come Monday Krustyland will no longer exist. Whether you continue the event or not your Krustyland will disappear on Monday. So you can either roll with it and move it to your Springfield or quit TSTO over it. Those are your options and the choice is yours, but keeping Krustyland as is is NOT an option.
Don’t be mad at those that hated it. Don’t be mad at EA. It’s part of the game, you’ve got to roll with the punches in this game (and in life). Things don’t always go your way. It’s been 5 years and I’m sure it created a big lag on their system. By eliminating it they get to remove that entire section from their servers, which may, in turn, help the game out.
I’M REALLY MAD AT EA! They should have told us BEFORE nuking that we should buy all the Krustyland Land to get more land tokens! I nuked before I knew about it and I missed out on the extra land! I shouldn’t have to come to a site like this to find out stuff like that!
Yes, yes you should have to come to a site like this to find out things like that! That’s the entire purpose of this site! We give you tips, tricks and other details that you can’t find in the game! We rush ahead to find out information so you don’t make the mistakes. That’s the ENTIRE PURPOSE OF THIS SITE!
There are a lot of things the game won’t tell you…who to keep free for the next task, that your Krustyland shuttles are now teleporters, how to farm donuts, what premium characters do and so on. That’s why you come here. That’s why we spend hours upon hours playing a game and writing about it…to give you information the game doesn’t provide!
No game gives you all the information you need. Hell, go all the way back to freaking Nintendo and Zelda games. Weren’t their magazines put out to give you tips and tricks to playing it?! Come on! Don’t get mad at EA or anyone else because you sped through something before reading the tips and tricks to completing it successfully. The post telling you to buy all the land was literally up the second the event hit the app store. You chose to wait to read it, it’s on you not anyone else.
Again, the ENTIRE PURPOSE OF THIS SITE is to give you tips, tricks and other info you can’t find directly in the game. We play ahead, figure it out and give you the feedback so you can save your time and donuts.
Rant over…
And that’s it guys. I believe that covers just about everything we’re seeing in the comments from glitches and bugs to general tips and tricks to a few angry rants…
What are your thoughts? Questions? Share them in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
Wow. I’m not talking about bugs here, just the update content and concept of nuking Krustyland. I LIKE IT. And, BTW, I have become a huge crank about this game. I am rarely pleased with EA and usually post here to gripe and vent them. (TSTO is great, BTW. It’s just the venue to scream at EA.)
1) Many longtime players, myself included, didn’t visit Krustyland regularly. There was no new content and I decided long ago what premium KM items I was willing to shell out donuts for. I’ll get more use out of my KL now that it’s part of my Springfield.
2) KL shuttles are now TRANSPORTERS! Cool. I bought the transporters when they were first offered and use them all the time. Now I have another set.
3) There were two decorations that I was DYING to add to my Springfield and now they’re there: The crashed police car with spewing fire hydrant and Bumble Bee Man’s Taco Truck. I know they’re just decorations that don’t earn anything but they’re brilliant and I love them. Also, I’ve also thought a hotdog stand, popcorn stand and cotton candy stand would look nice on my Squid Port boardwalk and now I have them.
4) I maxed out my KL land squares before the update hit, in case EA limited them to tokens. I’m really glad to have all the land that opened up in my Springfield.
5) Krusty and all things Krusty are awesome. “I’ve based my whole life after Krusty’s teachings.”
Long story short, cranky old guy that’s played this game way too long doesn’t hate this event so far.
🤗❤
I think its a good point to left the game. I’ve really ejoyed it. Yesterday i nuked my donut farming town and started designing it but i instantly regretted it and i got bored lol
But yeah, that, and the rollback bug + getting a bit tired of it.
Maybe i’ll come back who knows. I’ll still read this site. I would like to know what ea has planned for this.
About 3 hours ago I visited 10 of my many more neighbors in order to get the extra event currency for today, and now I checked my neighbors again and it’s saying I do not have any. Restarting my phone did nothing and closing the app and reopening it did nothing. I guess I’ll have to add new neighbors all over again, unless it randomly fixes.
Just letting others know that this is another potential issue they may come across
Sorry I didn’t realize other people had just said the same thing, you dont have to post this
http://tstoaddicts.com/2018/05/31/missing-friends/
Admins. Maybe a post on why krustyland must die is in order. It was an aberration of a creation years ago. I was thrown off when they introduced it. They added like 2 rides that Halloween and xmas and then it died. It was essentially a game in a game like candy crush does. Tapped out needs a lot of fixing and this is part of that process. Notice how they introduced group store 2 weeks before the nuke? I have to believe that was on purpose and a larger reorganization is on the horizon. They clearly listen to rants because they are writing dialogue in to the game lately with great hilarious sarcasm. My kind of humor. I personally am going to buy every item and make a mega park. I just need duff gardens. I missed that one…
New glitch – all of my friends are gone. I can replace most but some were legacy accounts that I can no longer access – it was nice having friends I could ignore or count on for having easy access to whatever needed to be tapped.
Anyone else seeing this and any suggestions for fixing? Thx
http://tstoaddicts.com/2018/05/31/missing-friends/
Am I the only one who’s lost ALL friends? Is that a known bug?
http://tstoaddicts.com/2018/05/31/missing-friends/
Me too. No neighbors or as I called them, friends. Sucks.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2018/05/31/missing-friends/
Did anyone else lose all their friends/friends towns? Fixable, but super annoying.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2018/05/31/missing-friends/
I dont know if anyone else has THIS, but I just logged into my Springfield and ALL of my neighboreenos are gone. ALL OF THEM. I dont know what to do, this is getting crazy. 84 friends just disappeared.
Awesome… when will the freakin bugs end
🍩🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜
They’re after all the donuts😄
It’s getting ridiculous now. 6 years of this game they need to collectively pull their heads out of their butts and fix this nonsense
Seems like EA’s Executive Board subscribes to the current business bible…always hire younger, cheaper and stupider…the trifecta of profiteering that guarantees your customers will pay more for less every year, and have an increasingly harder time communicating any dissatisfaction. In other words…as long as the money is rolling in, they just don’t give a rodents ass.
Just look at their latest failure, SW:BF2
Sounds like you’ve been a vendor/contractor for MS or some other shortsighted tech company.
Nope…just a dissatisfied customer for so many tech (and other) companies that have slid down, down, down over the years. The last decent cable/satellite company (DirecTV) has now been taken over by ATT…and of course the prices have gone up and customer service is now a thing of the past. Just seems to be the future of business in this country, anything good gets gobbled up and made unrecognizable (if it survives at all).
And appealing to EA is futile. I’m just one amongst many. (Samsung Galaxy 7 Android. lots of space. Had no problem until Springfield Jobs Heist)
I started playing during just before the Rigellian Event. At the end of the Clash of Clones, I think it was. What, 5 years or so ago? it was a good run, I guess… 🙁
The same thing happened to me. I had them earlier now they are gone.
That happened to me too, hopefully there will be a resolution.
Thank you for this, I have been super frustrated with the Event so far, I really liked my Krustyland and there is no way I can get enough room in my town to get it all back. But you have shown me there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I will probably like this update once everything is working properly.
Did anyone else loose all of their friends?
Am I the only one that lost all his friends with this update??
I have no friends!!!
No, wait, let me re-phrase that….
My friends and their Springfields have all disappeared. All I have left is “Other Springfield”. I had to step away when I was visiting friends towns. When I came back, I opened up the game.. and all my neighbours were missing! Tried closing and re-ooening with no luck. Is this a new glitch, and how do I get my friends back?
Lost all my friends. Only have the default.
I keep getting message saying that my game cannot connect to the server.
Ditto. About 1115pm eastern
I’m in and working fine, but I see I have no neighbor Springfields anymore. Yeah, server problem from the looks of things.
Has anyone else been logged out of EA and not able to log back in? Whenever I try I get an error that says “An error occurred processing the login. Please retry.” Any advice?
Try resetting your password.
Yes! I am having the same issue!
Only thing that worked for me was to uninstall and reinstall. I reset twice. Now it won’t connect to the server. Ahh good ole tsto
I’m having this issue too. Password reset did not help.
I am too. Password reset did not help. I tried on phone and tablet. I can log into ea.com just fine. Very annoyed at missing time. Hope they extend the time frame a bit to make up for it or something.
Did you try the steps?
http://tstoaddicts.com/2018/05/22/bug-report-5-22-18-log-in-issues/
I did. No luck. But I just tried a force stop followed by clearing all data (from app manager) and it is working… for now… 😉
I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and I was able to log in for now…
And a new bug just appear just now… so I opened the app and I was told I had to log in (weird cause I never log out nor use multiple devices) I entered my password and email and it says invalid. I know I’m entering it correctly because I have it saved on my iCloud so I don’t know what’s going on with this buggy update. It was definitely working in the morning.
So I just logged out of one game and tried to log in to both of my other games and it said an error occurred while processing your login, please retry (or something like that). Any one else having this issue?
Sounds like a server hicip.
Have read a lot of tapper comments about this since yesterday. No solutions posted, so if it continues I would go to the EA home site and try to log in there. If you can’t get in, use the “forgot password” procedure to reset your password and then try to log in to your game with the new one. Good luck😊.
Thank you all for the work you do on making this site! Ignore negative ranting, you and the whole team are awesome.
That tip about buying KL land was AMAZING, and worked like a charm! I’ve never been a huge fan of KL, and nuking it was so enjoyable. Hopefully EA will patch it so everyone gets to experience the same joy.
Looking forward to this event. Bummed I can’t store KL, but I was thinking of doing a mixed KL and I&S Land theme anyway.
The only thing I find annoying is that they took away the tasks to earn tickets in KL as well as the possibility to buy additional tickets. Even if I hold out til monday, there is no way I will be able to earn enough tickets to buy the remaining land before nuking.
Seriously?? It’s land… not gold. Again… if you didn’t have many tickets stockpiled… then you didn’t go there very often.
It’s. A. Game. Chill.
Why such a mean reply? Other people were nice enough to point out ways to earn some more tickets. I, like everyone else who has been playing for a long time, am always short on land, hence my being annoyed. Not angry, just mildly annoyed. Sorry if that isn’t allowed here. I’ll try to restrict my comments in the future.
I don’t think he was being mean. I think at the time we fielded a TON of comments with people complaining about the land in krustyland that it just became a sarcastic response over it.
Place the items from Krustyland into Springfield that have character tasks attached to them. Then send those characters on their tasks that earn Krustyland tickets. EA moved the ticket earning tasks to Springfield. Sideshow You can also earn tickets – you can still pop the balloons. Good luck.
Thanks for the heads up, I wasn‘t aware I could move stuff over before nuking!
Sell decorations for KL tickets, I got one more high end land token for that.
Good point, thanks!
I hope they fix the issue of not being able to store the Krustyland entrance.
Havnt exsperiance any other issues or have any other rant….. My 1st thought was to buy scratchy but now gona wait for the should I buy (I’m not a farmer)
I’m confused as to why this is a problem…is there some penalty for having a legacy gate? I’m just making tandem parks.
I like that idea to Patric, I am having the ‘old’ Krustyland in Springfield but I am using I&S Land as a themed area within the park… I wonder if other themes would work in the park such as Wild West? Looking forward to seeing what everyone does!
I am also going to place some of the food booths etc down along my ocean front. Kinda like “the shore” in New Jersey.
Yes! I have always wanted to place them in other locations… so much redecorating to be done (in a good way!).
I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to move my Injury 500 to my go cart/auto area or move my go carts to my I&S park. So many new possibilities!
Thanks for the tips but they haven’t worked for me. Annoyed that I’ll be 4 days behind on this and probably have to use donuts to catch up.
Ignore the haters. So bloody grateful for the addicts community!
Just a tip, sort of. Itchy has an 8 hour task that earns event currency. It is not as efficient as doing a 4 hour task twice, and it is not effected at all by increasing your enterence bonus % but if you’re gunna be away for 8 hours (like sleeping for example) then perhaps you can take advantage of that to get a some extra currency.
ATTN Alissa, Patrick: you might want to highlight this. I HAVE MADE TWO DISCOVERIES, which need to be shared… A little off the topic of this thread, but all eyes are on this post.
There is a new mystery box: Summer Concert. Contained therein is one, and only one, prize that I want: Bleeding Gums Muphy/Jazzhole. I do not want any of the other prizes, especially for 80 donuts. I’m in luck (sort of), and so are you.
Here are my discoveries:
1. I have found a way to try for a prize and undo the donut expenditure if you do not get what you want.
2. Additional attempts will give the same prize 🙁
Here is how it works. First you will need a Laptop, Bluestacks app player, and your parent’s permission (jk). Start by removing your laptop’s battery and connect the power cord. This will allow you to “undo” your donut expenditure if you do not get whatcha want. Load the game via Bluestacks and make your purchase (ka-ching). If you get something you do not want, pull the cord -the power cord that is and when you log back in you will find that no donuts have been spent. IMPORTANT POINT: DO NOT PLACE OR STORE ITEM. I do not know if doing so will affect your ability to “undo” the purchase. Pull the plug right away when the prize is revealed (unless you get what you were after of course).
The bad news is that the same prize appears every time you try. In every one of seven attempts I received Alcatraaaz. No Bleeding Gums for me. No loss of donuts either though or character/decoration that are’t worth the deep-fried dough to me.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!
That is super hard on your laptop! And not worth saving a few donuts. I thought you were joking at first. But apparently not… again…eeek! A lot of crazy for a couple of bucks worth of donuts.
I’ve posted about when I nuked my Krustyland well over a year ago that my bought with donuts Itchy and Scratchy got permanently stored. I’ve been unable to take them out since.
I thought that after getting the ultimatum that we will have to nuke Krustyland, which I did and brought everything out of storage would also let me have my Itchy and Scratchy characters get back into my game. This has not happened. I click on them and they just make a noise. That’s it.
How can I get them out of storage and back into the game?
Thanks.
I am missing several characters Sherry Terry, Kearny, squeaky voice team, and another one I can’t remember. Inventory. Does anybody have any idea where they are?
Inventory, character section…
Never mind, found them
The only complaint I have is that they did not bring back the happy little elves in panda land for the mystery box or store
It’s from one of my favorite parts of thesimpson ride at universal studios
lol every so often I need a good rant…
Pulling the track apart worked the game isnt laging now, thanks 👍
Deb
Firstly – thank goodness for this site. Followed all instructions and had already purchased all Krustyland available so have lots of land tikes now! Decided on a switch around so moved Springfield Heights to new land, and put Krusty /Itchy in Heights area!
Have massive lag issues, have to shut down and restart constantly and now group select then store/move freezes game for over a minute a time (or crashes iPad ), but know that is because my iPad is now nearly 4 years old , so ANCIENT by today’s standards, as I played recently on my iPhone 8 and it sped through all tasks etc with zero lag.
Thank you for all you do and for taking the time to maintain this site , is my first stop before each purchase and to learn how to get the most from my game play.
