I hate this game for turning me into a brutal slum lord.

Even better when you have the full row of high level dream jobbers in a store and there comes the poor guy with the same dream job but low skill. "Come here, have the job of your dreams for 1 second. *ka-ching* lol bye, get out of my building."Lord_Nergal said:

Will download in a couple of hours if there are no bugs in it :lol
I can't access the Tiny Tower thread on Something Awful now, it was a good barometer of "is the update safe"

I know the feeling. I'm around 110, and I think there's something like 135 floors (before the update that's about to hit).
I can't build floors faster than 1 per day, so that means I'll still have to play at least 25 days before hitting the cap.
If you are not having fun anymore, you might just quit now. :/

Taking ages to load and it's a bit temperamental at the moment, but HERE'S MY TOWER!
One point for every business from a movie/game/tv show that you can identify. One bonus point for every business you can help me fill in if it's still set to the default name.

But it looks super-cool!Wario64 said:

But why would I waste time playing the elevator game at 100+ floors? It's pretty much useless. I have all my floors upgraded with 3rd level stock take at least 2 hours and 30 minutes to restock. Whatever that quantity level is.
499/3*75 = 12475 additional stock quantities I can pump across all floors.
12475*3 + 12475*2 + 12475*1 = $74,850 additional revenue I can get without having to needlessly check into my tower

There needs to be an option to sort by bitizens that are employed to a floor but not currently stocking anything.
Also, an ability to horizontally scroll the alert icons. I usually don't bother with food floors, so the bottom of my screen is always orange "!" icons. Or maybe just make it so that new alerts show up on the left side.

You're going to spend like 50 Bux to speed construction of a floor to save five Bux filling it? =/Jasoco said:

thank you so much. maybe I shouldn't worry about the elevator!
There's more than one way to play the game. You let the game play itself. I use the elevator when I have time (watching TV or doing something else). Every one of my residential floors has 4 people in it, so whenever I deliver someone there, I get 2 space bucks from a dream job. I also see plenty of VIP's, which can lead to 90,000,000+ instant gold (I upgrade the floor once every time I get a big spender) or potentially 10 space bucks if I get the residential VIP. I use the extra space bucks I earn to restock floors too.Wario64 said:
Lol, oops, I got carried away with the zeros there... Should be 90k+. I reserve the Private Eye for the big spender, but the dr's office works as well. I don't restock the floor. It's constantly waiting for the big spender, then I restock lev 3 and rush it when he arrives. Currently it's only level 4. Level 3 stock is 15,225 x 2 = 30,450 x 3 = 91,350. Only started upgrading it recently, since I couldn't decide what to do with all my extra space bucks. Once all my stores had a minimum restock time of 1 hour, I wasn't sure how to proceed.Chopper said:
Just updated and whoa, way more costumes than I expected.
I'm at the gold elevator right now and, even though the next one does feel like a big waste at that price, I don't think I'll stop upgrading it simply because I'll probably never stop using it while I'm still checking on my tower. It's the perfect mindless choice for when I'm in a quick waiting line, watching TV, etc. It allows me to keep clicking on something and scratching that itch at moments where I can't fully concentrate on something meatier, and it's still rewarding enough (coins, VIPs, bux tipping, someone moving in with a dream job for a business you have).
There's no real challenge in this so it's pretty much "more than one way to play" like Eggo said. If I stopped messing with the elevator I feel it would kill a good part of what makes this zen garden personally work for me as a nice distraction.
OT: I introduced TT to a friend, she liked it but almost instantly started cheating by advancing the clock. I told her it's more gratifying to let the game roll normally and check once in a while but she didn't seem to care. I don't think she'll be playing for too long, lol.

I was about to download the update but I stopped myself once I remembered how buggy all of the major updates have been! I miss the SA thread.toythatkills said:
I'm at 133 floors. I'm getting kind of bored with it, but I'm close to the end so why stop now?
I can see custom names in my friends' towers.Meier said:

Rushed construction on a retail store I built after the update and got one of the new floors.
. I'm guessing you can keep building empty floors after that, but you'll have nothing to put in them.

Last update that added new floors was just under 2 months ago. I doubt they'll add more floors in the ~2 weeks it'll take me to reach the end of 1.4.hirokazu said:
Max number of floors is nowxbhaskarx said:
145
144 not counting the Mezzanine.FerranMG said:With this update, I think there's 18 floors of each type (ie, 18*5 = 90 shopping floors).
You'd need 54 residential floors to fill each shop, so that'd make a total of 144 floors.
edit: well, 145 if you take into account the lobby, which is floor 1.

Anyone stuck with unlaunchable game now? I've seen a few instance of it.
Also, no more iTunes music while the game is on?
Weird to get these bugs over and over again.
