This means I save up and buy land as needed and work harder to cram all my buildings in and I've found this has worked quite well as I don't waste money demo'ing plus it's buildings that are still generating money and awards.ĭid you do the update? Do you have a bat flying in place above your pier and is your cruise ship now a large pirate ship that doesn't come/go but sits in place at the dock? If you have these and no monsters roaming around make sure your have road built from your pier to your roadways. My approach this time is also not to demo buildings unless I absolutely have to. Also, remember that when upgrading your facilities or moving them to your store/warehouse the money you've collected goes to zero w/o collecting so I never move to warehouse or upgrade until just after I collect to maximize my income. Bottom line is check your awards often and be working towards those and clean your friends islands once a day to get all that $ and XP. You also get more buildings that collect more often which helps to get the rewards that require you to collect more often (collecting, yellow sign & green sign) as well as repairing awards. That way you get all those out of the way early on when you have space. Find out what the secret awards are for building items, start with the cheapest one and then go to the next and so on. Leave your phone plugged in with the game on even when you're not using it because the time-in-game award gets quite lucrative the higher you go. Upgrade your facilities to the 5th level until you start getting the more expensive facilities because the higher levels on those are expensive with lower return on investment. Move a tree back and forth while you watch TV or something to get the award for moving facilities. This time around I focused mainly on them and have found that I leveled up MUCH faster than before.

The first time around I kind of sort of did the wards as an afterthought. Make sure that you are working towards your awards as this is where you get your XP & cash for leveling up.

Make sure you are building the larger buildings as they provide more income which is what you need since your XP required for the next level gets exponentially higher. For me (since I've done it twice now) it isn't until after about level 10 that things start to really pick up.
