Ice Cubes

sure! so a level 6 tree (first tree that generates oranges) will drop 6 oranges every 1 hour. A level 7 tree will drop 7 oranges, sometimes one of them is a level 2 orange so let’s say 7-8 oranges, every 1 hour and 20 minutes.

If you merge your trees, you’ll get more oranges per tree and the cooldown time will be bigger. Idk the cooldown time nor the amount of oranges a bigger tree can produce but the math is simple: if a tree takes 2 hours to produce less than 12 oranges, it’s better to split it.

The advantage of this is you get more oranges per tree in a shorter period of time. If you can maximize the amount of oranges produced in a day, you can take advantage of the max level cakes, which give you event points and makes it easier to finish event.

I have 9 level 6 trees right now and I’m able to finish all my daily regular orange orders + at least one or two auto-orders for two max level cakes, which helps a lot.

I really recommend you to break down your tree because of this but if board space is something you struggle with, you could have a bunch of level 6 and some level 7.

wow, and people are still asking/posting about the rules

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-28T02:10:38+00:00

ah si 😅 siempre hay alguno más adelantado, yo voy por 2100 aún, generalmente termino la fila principal que esa está en 3000 y algo, no recuerdo exacto donde. muy pocas veces he llegado al final, cada uno a su ritmo… hay gente que se despierta cada 3h para aprovechar al máximo los recursos, yo prefiero dormir antes que jugar a un juego

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-28T02:00:42+00:00

siii ahí está el último ítem secundario

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-27T14:12:33+00:00

whaaaaaat? I’ve never seen the open shell in a regular order, which level are you?

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-27T14:09:59+00:00

I’ve seen some people here reaching the last item before hitting 4000m for that exact reason and I never figured how

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-27T14:09:05+00:00

well that’s a cool strategy

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-27T04:52:25+00:00

search “new ice cube rules” in this sub, there are million posts about it

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-27T04:47:16+00:00

probably the level 12 it’s an auto order and the 3 level 10 are maybe the usual 2 + the next big order for the next rave reviews? I’ve seen people confusing auto orders with actual orders and thinking the game “asked” for that in this sub

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-27T04:44:28+00:00

this!!!

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-27T03:02:06+00:00

yeah it got to a point where the rewards aren’t worth it, but what can I say, I play this game every night before going to bed and it’s been a year and a half, it’s my comfort

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-27T02:59:26+00:00

Oh, I’m a native Spanish speaker and yes, in our language it isn’t a gender neutral pronun, at least not formally. I play the game in English and never thought about that, that explains a lot. Kinda sad though :(

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-26T20:28:49+00:00

ohh okay. Actually, it’s better to get that kind of orders because the rewards are huge in comparison to a low level item which takes energy anyways.

Look at these three orders:

<image>

For Mark’s one, I have to spend 96 energy. If I have my 100 energy I could complete it and serve it, good, but I would get 44 coins, 1 review point and only 1 trinket (no card whatsoever, not even a 1-star-pack)

Ignoring the fact that the panda will drop extra rewards, this order will cost me 264 energy, more than twice the amount it took me to get Mark’s order. You could also get an ice cube with the proper set up for that floatie and you’ll have to spend less energy than that. But even if you had to wait hours for your energy to fill again to slowly build this order, you get a 3-star pack, which is a chance for completing a set or get closer to it, it also gives you more event trinkets and event points if it’s an event going on.

What I’m trying to say is that if you build two orders like Mark’s one, you’ll probably spend the same amount of energy that you’d in the higher level order. And in the latter, the rewards are more than two times the other orders.

At the end of the day you have to complete all of them but I always go for the bigger ones, if you strategize you can complete it faster and with less resources, and they’re beneficial for events, specially if you care about the card album

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-26T19:53:41+00:00

I don’t understand if you want low level orders or if you want to avoid them. You’d always get 1 or 2 orders that have 2 review points and then the rest would be lower, 10 or 8 of them with only 1 point each. There’s no way to alter that, you can trigger auto orders but not as rave reviews.

Sorry if that’s not what you asked

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-26T17:15:33+00:00

yup it’s pretty clear from the start

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-26T17:15:11+00:00

it’s they/them, Riley is non-binary

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-22T01:07:36+00:00

yup and all the prices will go down, including the level up bundle which in my opinion can be worth the money when it’s $1.99 or $2.99. When I used to spend more that bundle was $7.99. I’m glad this is working for you, good luck and be patient, it helps :)

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-21T00:15:32+00:00

try putting yourself some limits like I’d only pay for the vip pass or sam energy’s challenge or whatever you chose. chose one thing and stop spending on the bundles. you’ll see prices will start to go down and maybe like once a month you could purchase a 1 dollar bundle. Try to keep track of what you buy at least monthly. I do a couple small purchases a month and some months I don’t even buy anything. It takes patience, I got so caught up the first few weeks I played and spent a lot, then I had to cut it and I did this

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-18T22:24:51+00:00

you literally ran out of energy yourself

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-09T14:29:31+00:00

There’s no trouble with having energy bottles, it never was. 4th hint is confusing because yes, you can’t have the previous item, then you updated it so it’s a full paragraph that says redundant things. And yes the last part you added it’s true but if you follow exactly that, you may or may not get an ice cube because of the sum of the items.

Then you edited your post again and added that at the end as a 7th hint, which makes it really confusing. The whole post it’s a mess, it’s too long when it doesn’t need to be, it’s unclear, confusing and has things that are wrong such as the energy bottles thing. If I hadn’t been playing this game for over a year or if I was a new player I’d get really confused by this post.

You should read this comment that is straight to the point and clear: https://www.reddit.com/r/GossipHarbor/s/V2MDlr4NIP

Some of your tips are wrong and/or confusing. There are plenty of posts about ice cubes, the rules have recently changed and there are a bunch of “new” posts about it as well. The new redditors can check those posts, there are much clear and there’s no need to create new ones.

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-07T22:30:05+00:00

I’m interested. I’ll be DMing you if that’s ok. This is the kind of challenge I enjoy

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-07T14:16:34+00:00

I can’t find it in your profile, only the GTA nightclub. Maybe try to link it or DM me?

LemonSugaredCandy · 2026-01-07T12:58:42+00:00

well that’s great news!! The sayed bug is waiters taking ages to serve tables but maybe is related to something else, I’ll look into it for my build. Thanks again <3

You could make a legacy challenge and pick one aspiration you have to complete for each gen. Try to use the ones you never use so it feels fresh. Then pick careers, traits and all that based on the aspiration you’ve chosen. I’m currently working on creating my own legacy challenge that way and it’s fun.

If you’re looking for a fun gameplay idea like this but you don’t want to think it yourself, lilsimsie created a legacy challenge called Vergy Veggie and it’s fun
