I've had similar issues with my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9. If I go in and play it will sometimes just close the game at random whether I'm visiting negibhors or not but often it happens when I'm visiting neighbors. My solution has been to do a restart. Again, this is on a Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 (3rd Gen) so things maybe different on different devices. I hold the power button in and I used to hold it in and count to 20-30 or so (the device will shut off part way through) and then turn the device back on. But with this device I've found that I can hold the power button in and eventually after 30 seconds or so, it will automatically turn back on by itself. So, I just hold the power button and hold it until the device shuts off and then eventually turns back on by itself, then I let the power button go. Then, the game will usually play normally for me.

However, I have  a different issue today. Today when I go to play the splash screen comes up of Homer running and then eventualy it says "Synchronizing" and then the game just shuts down. I start up the game and it does the same thing. It goes to the "Synchronizing" on the bottom of the screen and then the game shuts down. I've gone in and done a "force shutdown" on the game by going into Settings>Applications>Manage all Applications>Third Part Applications>Running Applications  then choosing the applciation (Simpsons Tapped out) in this case) and doing a force close (I'll usually clear the cache as well).  Sometimes though the program isn't listed so there is nothing to force close.  Either way it doesn't seem to help. I've also checked to make sure there isn't an update since I've had problems logging in when there is an update waiting to be installed as well.  That isn't the case this time (at least it doesn't show there is an update waiting in the Amaon App Store).  I've been trying to log in since about 4-5 AM this morning and it's after 12 PM now and it's still acting the same.  It's acting a lot like there is an update out there waiting to be installed but again, the Amaon App store doens't SHOW any update waiting. At least not yet. If anyone has any ideas please post them.
