Stacking doesn't work like it did before. My popularity hasent changed but jobs that were getting me 1.5 millions are now getting me only 50k

Here are the results of my new numbers. I have six SE's and these are all businesses. The first number is what I get for a four-hour job; the second number is what's listed in the stats.
Booyah - 7,231 (2,980) Google - 16,286 (8,203) Apple Store SF - 6,773 (1,136) Ebay - 7,517 (3,982) Facebook - 20,061 (11,987) Apple Computer - 20,968 (9,420) Yahoo - 7,308 (4,403)
My return is, on average, 9,000 bucks less than what I was getting before, so it seems to be in line with the overall drop in pop. The stacking is still working like it was before; it's just that since the numbers have dropped, so, too, have the amounts earned.

I see your town Jenn. Think this one is for Booyah to sort for you. Thank you so much for checking:), I've emailed them twice. Now how will I make it for the next three days? I guess I better take advantage of my new free time and clean out those closets:) Katilyn replied and fixed it

Nothing is stacking like it used to on my end. My son has 18 VIP theaters, 2 circus and a playboy mansion, and barely more than a handful of change more for his jobs.
Be wary if you plan to upgrade and still want to stack.

After the glitch where my town was deleted, I noticed my Quick went up to 76,000 popularity when it used to be the lowest on my list, like 3500. Has this happened to anyone else?

I think we're in a "wait and see" mode. Not sure if all of the artificially high popularity businesses have been lowered to level the playing field or not.
If so, I will start updating the Top 30 chart again. I gave up on it before because the numbers changed so frequently and were too arbitrary.

Ok so my Mt Fuji does not work now. I shook it agin and again but nada. The vibrating motion is gone...it doesnt even collect coins. I exited the game and deleted it from the multi task bar. Still nothing. Might have to delete and reinstall. Wish me luck Edit: did a reboot, now it's back. Phew! That was close. ;D

I'm not really good with maths...but the stacking doesn't seems right. So I test a business from with no wonder to 11 SE with the office skin--all 3 minutes job:
With no SE: 70 coins 1 SE: 76 coins 2 SEs: 89 coins 3 SEs: 102 coins 4 SEs: 115 5 SEs: 128 6 SEs: 140 7 SEs: 153 8 SEs: 166 9 SEs: 179 10 SEs: 192 11 SEs: 204
The only thing I can tell is each SE is not giving an increase of 20%...but what's the formula that booyah uses for the stacking now is mysterious...
This is a test town with no other wonders for office income. The business is bought from booyah store and not a franchise...
I'm totally confused now...

Loading towns on the friends list was freezing MT2 for longer than I wanted to wait. Glad you rebooted before deleting the app. I've never deleted the app but I hear those stories and they scare me!

Sounds like they no longer want people to make millions of coins within hours or just a few days ... Welp, sounds like they fixed that loophole. *sigh* I wonder what else they altered.. Hope they didnt lower the franchising bucks again Going to test that immediately with my 2 ipads. EDIT: its still ok, still get the 50 bucks max. Wonder what else they changed..

Yea that was my last option. Considering how wacky the current update is, I rather not risk doing something like that, unless I have to. Who knows what will happen . Glad it's back!

Major updates can be very tricky. Did anyone else notice that the population gift icons now look much larger? Or that tulips and daffodils got switched? Also the remodel icon has a much glossier look now.

Is it worth selling businesses that have gone down in value and quickly franchising them again from Mayors that haven't upgraded yet? Or is the whole thing an unanswerable mystery?! I just sold NASA and rebought it from Wonderland to see what happens. So far it worked. I'll see if the popularity stays high or comes down tomorrow. Looked like 440,xxx at first and 577 in your stats. Universal studios showed up around that high today.

Maybe they did it on purpose or maybe something is messed up. It wouldn't be the first time Booyah Math was altered after an update. There were some items whose population got messed up and they fixed it within a day or so.

Hi Ashley, I was curious and tried to figure out if there is a pattern to the stacking boost. Using the values from your revenues, this chart is the result. The only thing that is clear is that after the second SE with 15% boost, the more SEs, the boost percentage drops.
# of SE / Revenue / Difference / % Increase
0 / 70 / 0 / 0% 1 / 76 / 6 / 8% 2 / 89 / 13 / 15% 3 / 102 / 13 / 13% 4 / 115 / 13 / 11% 5 / 128 / 13 / 10% 6 / 140 / 12 / 9% 7 / 153 / 13 / 8% 8 / 166 / 13 / 8% 9 / 179 / 13 / 7% 10 / 192 / 13 / 7% 11 / 204 / 12 / 6%
