I agree, I hate this event. There's nothing remotely Simpsons about it and the changes to the gameplay are so drastic it feels like they've cancelled Tapped Out and are making us play something else instead. It's better than the Easter event in that the prizes can be gotten reliably, but the gold comes in so slowly that it's frustratingly tedious. And what's worse, the prizes are every one of them only useful for playing the new game. Once the event ends they'll be useless. Well I suppose the castles will probably produce cash, but that's it. And we're not getting any proper rarely-seen Simpsons content like the Yes Guy or the Gingerbread House, nothing that's going to add to the theme. The castles are ugly, I'm building walls and towers around the main one but the other two I'm only picking up just enough additions to get through the main quest line, and those I'm hiding behind tall buildings to keep them out of sight like I did with the Easter and V Day stuff before I could dump it in Krustyland.

Last summer was so exciting for Tapped Out, you had both expansions and a new level every couple of weeks. 2013 was an exciting time generally. But 2014 has been so lame since the Christmas event ended. You had well over two months between Level 38 and Level 39, a frustrating V Day event, a St Pat's event that produced almost no new content, a downright sadistic Easter event, and a week and a half when the game was buggy to the point if being unplayable. Then along came the Stonecutters and I thought things would be looking up this summer, but not really. We've had two new levels, both of which produced nothing but obscure one-off characters whose proper place in Simpsons lore is as answers to high-level trivia. (It was nice finally having a major overhaul of Krustyland, though.) The Fourth if July event was all right, but Rex's quest was almost identical to last year's. And now this nonsense.

SonnyWeg, I don't even notice the prices if buildings anymore because my cash reserves have reached escape velocity, but well do I remember being frustrated by the lack of correlation between building price and building value when they weren't. The SWAT Van costs more than the Police Station, Jail, and Town Hall combined. Think about that! But for limited time buildings that's really unforgivable. I feel bad for those who couldn't buy the Daycare Center. I would, however, humbly suggest that that's what Reddit is for.
