I feel your pain. When the wheel came out the yeti was the only thing I was really stoked on getting. It was the last thing off for me. At one point I hoarded all of my spins for the day(7?) and ended up with money every time. Almost rage quit, hahaha. Naturally my girlfriend cleared the wheel with sub 50000 tickets

I gave up and bought spin tokens with donuts to get that stupid tower. I swear the wheel is rigged to only give you money. So frustrating.

Heheh, I like the snow people! Especially Bart's. I always thought that episode was done really well. Had some real emotional impact. Anyway, I like them better than the stupid house lights, except that they help you finish a quest.

I only have 20,000 tickets though, so I won't see a lot of it.

What does the tower do?

Pretty sure EA extended the Christmas thing to the 14th instead of ending on the 7th just to torture everyone with that damn thing.

All I have left is the yeti and I'm trying everything. I'm at the point where I'm trying to calculate where the wheel stops with the speed of a flick, and then line up the yeti so with the same speed of flick it should land on the yeti... its not working.

feel free to add me if ya'll want, it's Teejaye88

Just a quick note, EA increased the odds for the spin items. 5% for the building, 6% for ice statue, money and homes 14%.

Hopefully this helps people get the remaining items

I have the buildings left and once ice statute.

I keep getting money or gift cards. It's super annoying, but once I learned that the wheel was predetermined I no longer played with the starting position or got too frustrated when I got a stupid prize. I'm glad I got the characters, and I had all the homes from last year.

If you want to add me feel free: Jonny_P19

I'll admit I only visit others' Springfields when I get bonus items (such as gift cards at Christmas or goo on Halloween). If you want to visit me you're always welcome in my city.

I feel everyone's pain. I almost rage quit too because of the stupid wheel. The Yeti was also the last thing for me to get, and I'm pretty sure I had to play it 20+ times to finally get it.

It produces money and xp like any other building. Nothing special.

Aside from the wheel I found this event almost too easy to complete. It took me 5 or 6 days to get all of the gift card prizes with minimal grinding. Halloween was at least a little bit of a challenge.

Here's a question. Who actually spends money on the game?

I haven't spent a dime and am very happy with my Springfield. Over $4 million in cash an 193 donuts saved.

I know some people that have dropped hundreds on the game though.

Is anyone else of Scottish descent myself, or spend wildly or something in between?

I saved up for a full year and had 132 donuts (whoopee!). Then this Christmas my brother said he could get me donuts if I gave him my password. Next day I had 10,000. He must have found a glitch or something.

Anyway, now I spend them like crazy but my expanded town isn't as nice as it doubled in size in a few weeks.

In the year and a bit I've been playing about $5 of my real money has been spent. There have been a couple of occasions where I've been trying to get a premium item and have ended up a few doughnuts short. When that happened a golden scratcher was purchased. The amount of money some people have spent on this game astounds me..

I've played for 6 months and haven't spent a dime yet.
I have been tempted to especially for the bonus donuts during special events.

Rhettzky can you find out how your brother did the 10000 donut glitch?

Do people actually reject friend requests in this game?
