I've built the lodge, spied on a neighbor and started Homer on the unlock 908 quest or whatever it's called. But I don't have any special icons on my scene and I don't have access to any new buildings to buy. Is this just that I haven't gotten to the right phase of the tasks or did it not completely download?

You're not there yet.

So I've visited a few friends, clicked on the cameras, and I get money but no emblems. Is there a limit on how many I can click at a time?

Yep. You only get 60 actions which is 20 friends, but you should still visit all your neighbors anyway to help them out since they'll get emblems for you visiting.

And after the 60 actions, you can get donuts:)

When does it reset or does it not reset?

Once you fulfill the FP meter you have a chance to win donuts while visiting neighbors. Some of the players on the TSTO forum have said they usually get 1-4 donuts while visiting. I rarely visit outside events and new FP tasks so I can't confirm.

Ah, OK! I'm usually maxed on FP. I had thought EA was just being freer with the donuts.

No, sorry. And I did say "can"not "will".

SBP, yes. Unless you want to cheat a bit and look at the tsto forum. They have a list of characters that will be randomly assigned a task during this event.

Okay, so am I right that the best strategy for this stone cutters download is to keep your characters as free as possible in case you need them for a specific task.  I generally give all of my characters tasks that match up to roughly the same period of time (2 hrs. 4 hrs. 24 hrs) depending on when I think I'll be back into the game.  But with this promo, it seems like you never know when you're going to need someone (right now, I need Apu, but he's "busy" for several more hours).  So just let them wander around and only use them if the stone cutters need them for a task?

I guess this is only relevant to the "virgin Springfield" players.  If you have unlimited donuts, it's irrelevant.  I'm just trying to figure out how to get everything I can without the reddit download because now that I've avoided it for so long, it's like a goal all on its own.  DON'T USE REDDIT.  HOW LONG CAN YOU MAKE IT?!?!

I am a "sullied" player and that is what I do.  I am hoarding my donuts in case something really good comes up.  

And I am basing the time frames on the daily tasks set out by Number One.  So this morning, everyone is doing a 4 hr task since that is the time of the first task.  If someone didn't have a 4 hr task in the list, I gave them something shorter, never longer since I may need them once the 4 hr task is done.  That does mean that sometimes a few are wandering around taskless, but I am OK with that.

This is what I am doing, as well.

I am ok with forgoing the extra money that I would be earning by assigning all my people.

I am not against this.

I went to look for the list, and I lied. They just have a list of everyone categorized into the groups you can use for the tasks.

I'm going with setting tasks at the same time limit as the No 1 task or shorter. I'm am worried that the tasks are getting longer each day...

Stupid errors! C'mon servers!!

[humpty]

asdfjkl just in case you didn't already know when visiting friends the stonecutters lodge gives five emblems vs the one you get for all of the other buildings.

Because I keep forgetting to look it up here, I've just been setting my guys to tasks of the same length as the one the doing number 1's tasks. So everyone has been set to an hour a lot lately. With some of the characters I kind of assume they won't be called for anything specific (Kumiko, for instance) and I just let her go all day.


I'm a little sad that I won't be able to play in Puerto Rico. I want ALL THE THINGS!!!

You could have one of us log into your town while you're gone. 

You might end up reddited, though. muah ha ha!

>:(RAGE!!! I accidentally clicked on some dumb character for the boardwalk, and it took almost all my donuts.

[panicked]

Anyone having issues visiting friends? I was able to get to three of my friends and now it crashes everytime I click on a new springfield.

[Jermys]

Anyone know what the scroll of the day is all about? Smithers cracking the whip? Moe doing...something? I'm stuck.

Smithers

I was just about to come and ask this very thing. Smithers cracking the whip may be it.
