"Thanks for your explanation. I have already reached Level 60 but didn't take the dialogue too seriously... and simply thought that the Level 60 stays the same. So instead of receiving free donuts once a next "level" is reached, one now gets ranked up without receiving new content."

You're welcome.

There's no new content as in adding more characters and buildings along the levels, there are still some stuff to be unlocked as one level up like the upgrades of the Homerlayas. The level up donuts remains. You'll get 1 with each level up from levels 61 to 939, from then on the usual donut boxes appear.

"What got me confused was the fact that one of my neighbors hit Level 83 instantly... he must have had a lot of EX points I guess."

Just a high multiplier and perhaps the XP Collider activated. The Tennis Courts available during a short period for Springfield Heights currencies, and Wailing Walls craftables during the Treehouse of Horror XXVI Event helped a lot of players to increase their multipliers in a "free" way.

Another factor is that the amount of required for levels 61 to 100 is 40,000; the completion of the Googolplex or xp farming could perfectly made that jump in a short time.

"After they fixed the XP bug, I went from level 60 to 66 in a matter of hours, so it doesn't surprise me that someone is already on 83. Another poster claimed to see someone on Level 939, though, which I seriously doubt unless they've hacked their game."

Not necessarily, XP farming is really a thing and many people have been using it to increase the amount of free donuts they can get, especially house-farmers. When level 60 arrived, after over 6 month from the latest, many players that were at the top level for a loooong time, were able to amass large amount of money and used theirs to "force" the level-ups. The requirement of only 40,000 to level up in all levels (pre-patch) made some players reach it in a very low amount of time. Even after the patch players with either, a big multiplier, or the XP Collider active, or Xp farming, or all of them, can still "race" through the levels without much difficulty.
