Hi:
I have been in one of my neighbours' town today and I saw that she has all the beach plots of land (is this correct?) unlocked. As they use such a huge amount of TEMs I am aghast.
For those of you who have unlocked them all: how did you do it? Did you use plain and old diamonds for purchasing the TEMs?
Thanks.
I have all but 1 beach plot open. It's as simple as not unlocking many of the town land ones, as well as hoarding LEMS. I have used diamonds once or maybe twice I believe when I was about 4 or less maps away, but having loads of townies giving out presents, I ended up with lots of maps. I was also getting mallets and stakes like crazy from the paper as well as tapping/harvesting
I did LOTS of scouring the DD, hoarding any TEMs I did find, and then using diamonds when I got close enough to buy the last few remaining pieces that were missing for each expansion. My town cycles in spitting out a certain TEM...after a while it will change and spit something else out in spurts. I definitely would have taken longer had I not used any diamonds.
And yes, I concentrated on the beach almost from the beginning, opening the last few land plots last.
Thanks a lot :)
I also hoard the DD but sometimes it is impossible to find anything LOL.
Hi allegra. Perhaps you are talking about me? I unlocked every single one of my beach plots in less than a week and didn't use one diamond! Not a single one :). I traded away all of my bems & sems :D it actually shocked me how fast it could be done if you just put your mind to do it.
Now if I could transfer that hayday momentum to my gargantuan closet reorganization project...

Took me about 3 or 4 weeks to unlock all lands. But I didnt use any diamonds, and I did trade a lot of maps for BEM too. So it took a little longer than expected.
But if you play a lot and serve all visitors right away, you get a lot of tools.
I unlocked all of my beach land first - just because I love the beach! Didn't use any diamonds or do any trading, just used the TEMs I got from visitors (although I had saved up a lot of the regular LEMs in anticipation of the town opening up). And once I read that we could fit all of the current town buildings in the town without expanding any town plots, I was happy to just focus on the beach. Am now slowly opening up town land, think I have about 4 more it's to go. The beach rules! ��
I didn't use any diamonds to unlock land, I did use some diamonds for slots in shops at the beginning.
I cleared all my town land 1 to 2 weeks ago. I have never traded.
I must be more lucky than most as I got and sold 15 maps yesterday and am selling at least 8 maps a day usually, but I am rarely turning away people have my NH train every 1.5hrs with 7 people in it (but back then I guess it was 5) so it's just volume of serving people with me as I don't think I get that much more than others.:confused:
When you get higher levels you get more people so get more presents and more chance of getting maps.
For those of you who trade : do you have any tips to share? I have never traded, but I have read some ugly things here in the forum and I'd love some insight about how to do it.

I hv unlocked all of mine thx to my townies gift (they gave quite quantity of maps per day), trading, nh and dd.. But mostly from trading with my regular traders :o
I expand my land 1st, then the beach.. I think I'm done within 7-10 days..
In the trading thread, there is a first post that explains trading. Don't trade unless you can live with losing what you are trading. There is definitely risk. I'm an experienced trader (although not as experienced as some), and I've lost a few items trading. Most losses don't occur due to unscrupulous traders; most losses occur when people happen upon your rss during a trade and scoop up the goodies (knowingly or unknowingly). Not having ads active during trading helps reduce but not eliminate that risk.
All my land is unlocked and I never used any diamonds. I received most of my map pieces from townie gifts and 15-20 from DD. I've got 9 in my barn right now. I think I'm one of the lucky ones getting map pieces, but honestly I'd rather be lucky finding bolts and planks. I'll always need those. Map pieces have limited use.
I just finished unlocking my land yesterday but have only unlocked two beach spots, mainly because I don't care for beaches in real life. (I'm a snow-in-the-mountains kind of gal.) Still, I would have been able to be finished with them too except I help my daughter with maps because she works full time and can't farm as much as I can. So my land is completely unlocked but I still have 3 or 4 beach spots to work on. I harvested all maps but 3 which I found in the DD a couple of days ago. My townies give me lots of maps.
I've unlocked all my land, beach and otherwise. I did not use diamonds, nor did I trade to get expansion items. (I do trade, but not for land expansion items.)
I had most of the normal LEMs already, because like many, I had been saving them in anticipation of the update. So I really just needed to get the map pieces. I found a few in the DD, but most of them I got from serving the townies. The town has been my priority since the update. I don't do truck or boat orders any more, unless they're asking for things I want to get rid of. I almost never turn a townie away, though.
Now my land's all expanded and I still have 10 extra map pieces.
I have only unlocked 3 or 4 of the land spots... i'm only town level 7 and farm level 38 I'm looking to unlock a beach spot
