And that’s it my friends! What are your thoughts on the new mini-event? Thoughts on the prizes? Building locations? Sound off below, you know we love hearing from you!
Isotopes Stadium – hey who doesn’t mind another Stadium with Character Tasks (got to ♥️ that Kiss Cam Screen)
Marriage Counseling – lol I thing more than Marge needs a permanent Character Task here (it’s in my Medical Buildings Zone)
Couch World – goes swell on my Springfield Squidport Pier (along with a lot of other Shops / Restaurants) and it figures Homer gets a new place to nap
Mitchell Mansion – it EA would just open up more Land in the Springfield Heights Zone, I’d have a better place for this
These are a HUGE improvement over Dumb Decor as Event Prizes 👍🏻
The Stadium and Mansion are way too big. For those of us playing for a long time, free space is getting sparse. I think I might have to take down 90% of my Springfield Heights in order to place buildings there instead. EA, please expand Springfield Heights land.
Eliminating Springfield Heights original Content is the only way I can make space for new Mansions (unless EA does the right thing) 😉
Even though the mansion would look perfect in my classic section of SH, that’s full- so all new fancy/futuristic buildings are going in the Cypress Creek pile. My Springfield proper is pretty full too so more generic looking buildings are headed for the Shelbyville pile. No time like the quarantine to actually work on those.
I’m quite happy to see an event full of free buildings since the last was very limited on free buildings.
Isotope Stadium is almost twice the size of Duff Stadium and rather than facing south (towards the ocean) or facing east (opposite the mountains) like most items, it faces southwest or northeast. It wasn’t difficult to design but does need enough land for it to look nice. I like the animation here of the stadium lights, flags and rats kissing on the kisscam, I hope Buck Mitchell has a permanent task or 2 here instead of one just for Bart because of the animation. 🏟️🐀💋
Marriage Counseilng is an ok looking building that does look a bit generic but it does work with other buildings. Not a bad animation since it looks like a couple arguing or something in the windows. I wish more characters than Marge could use this building like Kirk and Luann or Buck and Tabitha. I also wish this was categorized as a shop or business so Wise Guy, Weird Al etc. can go there. ⚭💒💑
Couch World is a fun looking building that works well next to the Marriage Counseling building. The animation is a bit disappointing with just the lights going on which could’ve been couches entering/leaving the store. I wish Homer wasn’t the only one with a task here and Couch World was categorized as a shop or business. 🛋️🌎💤
Mitchell Mansion is a beautiful looking building and one of my favourite buildings in this event. I plan on putting it with the other mansions in the heights. The animation isn’t bad since it looks like Buck and Tabitha in the windows. I’m glad that other than Milhouse, Tabitha Vixx also uses the mansion for her tasks and hopefully Buck Mitchell has a permanent task here as well. ⚾🎤💲
The COM of Mitchell Mansion, Couch World and Marriage Counseling are so random. MM improves vanity when its a home so it should be indolence instead. CW improves indolence probably because its where the couches live. MC improves tree-hugging probably just to save paper. 🏠🌲📝
I agree 💯 about having more than just 1 or 2 Characters with new Tasks at the new Buildings (come on EA Bob, or Barbara, you’ve got some decent requests here).
