Gameplay Tips

  • When using offline mode you do need to log back in before the event ends to make fast forward happen. It is run by your computer currently, and if you do not load the game back up, fast forward will not take place.
  • If you use Fast Forward check in often, the longer you stay offline, the longer it takes to bring your town up to date.
  • Always make sure the game is the ONLY TAB in the browser it’s running on.
  • Don’t fully cover the browser window with another window or program if you are actively playing. If you do, make sure to relaunch the game before trying to play again.
