    It's great if you've got a whole apartment to fill. It's basically five free Bux, because you don't have to spend that filling it yourself.

    That's true, but I find that I rarely have a completely empty apartment, much less have one when the agent shows up. Given the way I play it's much easier just to spend the bux to fill out the apartment (and once you've got more than half the businesses, you can make your bux back quite easily doing the Dream Job Shuffle).

    I just wish the construction VIP appeared more seeming as it takes 1 day and 20 hours for anything to be built at the moment :(

    Does anyone else choose not to buy the costumes and wait for them to move in instead? Because I feel like if I buy the costumes, then everybody will have a costume and then the novelty wears off. But instead, since I'm waiting for them to move in, they're more special.

    That being said, it would be cool to make some costumes exclusive and not purchasable- instead you have to wait for them to move in.

    How long do you think you'd have to play to find this bitizen:

    a) Mapple genius costume
    b) Mapple Store dream job
    c) 9 in retail
    d) wants to go to an empty apartment

    I'm thinking probably 100 hours solid of no sleep and just constant elevator play. Then you'd need to do it twice more. Or I could buy the costume and do it in thirty seconds.

    So no, I don't do what you do :p

    I thought if a bitizen moved in and you hadn't bought the costume, they got changed out of it when they moved in anyway.

    Well, not everyone has the requirements you do :p

    And yeah, the costumes used to disappear after they moved in, but now they remain.

    I love the Real Estate VIP. Just because you don't keep vacant apartments doesn't mean we all play that way. It is my favorite VIP behind the construction VIP.

    Is upgrading the floor gonna reduce the restocking time? if not, whats the benefit of upgrading the floor (other than not having to restock in a short period of time)

    No other benefit, the whole point is singly to not have to restock so often.

    It takes longer to stock an item, costs more coins, and you get 75 units extra of stock for each item, per level.

    The more levels, the longer it takes to stock, but the longer it takes to sell out.

    so if you keep checking the app, there is actually really no need to upgrade your floor.

    Nothing.

    For a given item, for each 15 units of stock, it takes 1 minute to stock it. Upgrading a store increases all stock units by 75; the rest of the math follows.

    If you enjoy constantly tapping away at a bunch of different stores.

    Chances are, though, you are not optimally efficient in stocking. Over the long haul, a person with higher stock counts who checks from time to time will make more money than a person with lower stock counts who checks constantly.

    ^what is the ideal floor level upgrade?

    and isn't having more stores with low level with frequent checks is better than having higher level and less stores with less check?

    How?

    And there is no ideal, the higher the better. It's all about how you prefer to play, though. If you level them up to 1,000,000 you'd only have to check it once a year and you might not get much out of it, then.

    So if you have a dream job does that mean leveling up means more stock plus being doubled so even more stock

    Yep, dream job on top of an extra level gets you 150 stock per level.
