I know my code by heart, so that I can zap it in when needed. With both versions glitches started to happen...which I said I personally attribute to my Treo. I was worried about housing whwn the third frame never appeared. For some reason, it MUST be a builder who sees it and starts building---the third hut then appears to all.
As far as my magic flowers...if they are watered and appear is "iffy". My crops are the first thing I attend to since the berries don't last forever. I don't even show the villagers the crop field once I have enough points to purchase it because then they will stop foraging and uselessly water the crops...the crops will appear anyway.

By the time the crops are gone, I make them forage and stop their silly watering while their food goes down. By about the third cycle I'll have enough points to get them fishing.
Oh yes, I do alternate foraging and crop people so that they all have experience and don't panic when I plunge them into the water.
