So, I posted this on the Bug reports of the EA forums. EA deleted it.. twice. So I contacted the wikia team and they encouraged me to post it here.

So here goes...

Hey-Diddly-Ho-STO-roonies,

Discovered a bug for unlimited boardwalk tiles. Not sure if this one has been reported. But I'm sure EA's aware of some of the issues regards to the boardwalk tiles.

The way this bug works is by continuously collect selected “ghost” tiles and adding them to your inventory. There are a few other glitches that follow once your reach past 999 boardwalk tiles. For this bug to work, there are a few things to setup first.

(1)	All of your current placed tiles must have a building or decoration on the tile piece. So all the tiles should have something placed on it. Using up a part of tile space. Place all other unused tiles in your inventory. (2)	Place down enough boardwalks tiles for the Soilant Red building to rest on. For this bug, I’m not sure if other buildings or decorations might have the same effect. So for this example I used the Soilant Red Building. (3)	Next step was to start collecting boardwalk tiles under the Soilant Red building. If the Soilant Red gets selected, unselect the Soilant Red building and select a boardwalk tile that is under it.

[]

The first boardwalk tile is selected and normally placed into the inventory. When selecting another boardwalk tile underneath, the past known location you placed your tile becomes selected. It is selecting the ghost tile. With nothing there but a blank selection and the option to place a tile in your inventory.

[]

If you still have any other open tiles placed elsewhere, the game will jump to and select the next available open tile, thus, failing to get the bug to work. If this happens, place any other open tiles in your inventory and try selecting the tiles under the Soilant Red building.

[]

Continuing the cycle of selecting the Soilant Red building and the boardwalk tiles underneath and adding selected ghost tiles to your inventory will give you unlimited boardwalk tiles.

[]

Moving the camera around might select other real tiles underneath; these will be normally placed into your inventory. Selecting again, a new ghost tile will likely be selected where you last added the real tile to inventory.

A Warning about this bug: If you pass 999 tiles and go beyond the 1000 tile mark, then you will not be able to place any tiles! An error message will appear telling you don’t have any more boardwalk sections and to make more tiles at the Squidport. You cannot make more tiles are Squidport because your tile limit is reached. Another problem is the yellow submarine will continue and add boardwalk tiles, even if you reached the boardwalk tile limit.

So I am stuck gaining more tiles without the ability to place them. Lucky there are two types of tiles. I did not go beyond the 999 limit with the Springfield heights tiles. I used those instead and safely placed them from the inventory.

You don’t really need more than 800 tiles to fill in the bay area. Unless a seaport expansion is in the works. So after evaluation the bug, a few things need to be tweaked around the boardwalk game mechanics. -	If the player reaches the boardwalk limit, the “Make boardwalk section” button should be removed. -	The yellow submarine shouldn’t add more tiles. -	Stuck with over 1012 boardwalk tiles in inventory and cannot place them or sell/delete them.
