So our old Q&A post was about 3 years old and full of thousands of comments (nearly 10,000..) so I decided it was time to start a new Q&A thread. Comments on the old thread are now disabled BUT they’re still there are viewable for anyone looking to see something they previously asked.
You can find the old Q&A Thread here

Do all of the buildings earn money?
No. While almost all of the buildings earn money there are a handful of buildings that do not earn money but have other tasks. Cletus’s Farm does not earn money as the other buildings do instead it earns money through growing crops, Channel 6 earns money through news broadcasts and Open Air Stage earns money through characters performing. While Springfield Downs earns money through betting on the Dog Races.
Town Hall, Moe’s Tavern, Springfield Elementary & the Police Station do not earn money. However, your neighbors can vandalize those buildings with spray paint while visiting and you earn money from cleaning up the spray paint.
Finally, Springfield Retirement Castle is the one building that does not earn money, has no tasks to earn money, and cannot be vandalized. However, it’s a building you must purchase in order to get Grandpa Simpson.
Of course there are more, that I’m sure I don’t have on this list..but the bottom-line is, no. Not all of the buildings in Springfield earn money.

Today I won 5 donuts in «Sideshow you». But I did not get them. Did someone experience this before?

Curious – I thought I tapped what looked like a land token in a friend’s town, but didn’t see any available to me what I returned to my town. Did I just mistake something for a land token in my friend’s town?

It is likely their Golden Goose. You aren’t rewarded for that.

Hi. Please help me get the golden goose. I’ve been playing ever since the game began. I, somehow missed it. It was 400 donuts. I have it. I’m a faithful player. I play daily. Every 4 hours. Please tell me how to get it. Forever grateful Rey777

We cannot. It’s not currently available. You’ll have to wait until it returns to the game

Why can’t I access more land in Springfield heights? There’s no way I can fit all these buildings onto the available in and there’s no option to buy additional land although there is plenty of green grass where land could be. I’m sure this is been asked before sorry to be redundant

It hasn’t been released yet. As far as an actual why it hasn’t been released, well that’s an EA thing you’d have to ask them.

I was wondering the same. I really miss the way thenold challenges/tasks were. With different tasks and visiting neighbors towns. I wish they would make them more interesting and interactive again! Seems like its getting a tad boring now.
