Question: How does one get Homer to fly around in his santa sled and reindeer? I’ve seen this a number of times, and can’t see how you get a “Santa” Homer. Also, there are a number of people who I see in this thread who i have not had anything to tap when entering your towns. So, either you aren’t playing, i have come into your town right after you’ve cleared everything, or there is some small glitch in the system making some folks appear as if they aren’t playing. I have a number of people who are not part of this thread that i am going to delete over the next week, so if there are any new players in here, and you aren’t on my friend list, make yourself known and I’ll try to add you as I delete folks that have disappeared. ---

Santa’s Village gives Santa Homer. Just place it to unlock the skin. The Santa Homer in a sled is his 24-hour task. Santa Homer is, I think, a premium character - his 24 hour task pays 1000 instead of 600, so I go with it as long as I can stand seeing him fly around. ---

Okay, so now it seems like I am getting kicked off of the game every time someone visits my town while I’m logged in. ---

> [@Fair\_Rarity](#): > > There is a game you can play in Krustyland that can earn you donuts from time to time. That is the only good reason to start KL early. If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t have started either until I finished everything else up, or at least gotten much higher in levels. Well, I’m glad I did SP at the time because I got a ton of tiles during the glitch, but having it doesn’t give much more money and it was a huge drain getting it started. It was so distracting, trying to do regular quests, special event quests, and build both at the same time. > > We might be having another event in a couple weeks for St Patrick’s Day, then I wouldn’t be surprised if Whacking Day came back around Easter. So there might be lots to do in the next few months, making starting KL and SP overwhelming. > > There is a new glitch out there. You put Kang and Kodos on the 10-hour “exchange protein strings” task and when you get the thumbs up, you immediate go to your character locator and put Kang on his 8-hour task and click on friends or KL shuttle. That traps Kodos in the UFO and every time you leave your main town and return, the money and XP show up like the first time you got the thumbs up. I don’t know if I explained it well and it didn’t work the first time I tried it, but today I had a day off so I grinded them out while I watched tv. I got a ton of money and xp, but it was tedious. Not quite sure if it was worth it, but it wasn’t like I was doing anything else. Anyone had luck with the Kang and Konos thing yet? ---

> [@Folly](#): > > So if my goal was to maximize the amount of clickable buildings for visitors, I would clear the handshakes and only the handshakes and maybe clean up the graffiti? Yes, but I clear up most of my buildings, leaving just Kwik E Mart, Krusty Burger, my brown houses, Flanders’, and Simpson house unclicked. With everything else, the generation time is long. I figure no one ever will have NOTHING to clear when they come to my town if I check it out often. You can leave all your buildings untapped, but you might be hurting yourself in the long run if you leave too much untapped. > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > Anyone had luck with the Kang and Konos thing yet? I got it to work and I’ve accidentally tapped Kang a few times and had to re-do it a couple times. I have gotten tons of money. It’s awfully boring, but if I’m just hanging out online, I can one-handed tap my friends icon, then home, lather, rinse, repeat, while I surf with the other hand. I got enough cash to buy a ton of weather stations, and I should roll over to get donuts tomorrow, and I just got some yesterday or the day before. ---

I tried adding a few of you tonight, I am jameyd28 on there. Let me know if you want me to tap anything specific. I seem to be getting way more friend points from people spray painting my town, so if you go there please spray away! ---

I thought the Singing Sirloin has more of a quest – it appears that it just has Moe sing there the one time. I just got Snowball this morning. ---

Username: JSteck13 Username: Folly312 Username: tabereins Username: tomtildrum00 Username: jcage710 Tom, I thought you weren’t playing anymore! I swear the last several times I visited there was nothing for me to tap. I think I hesitated too long with the Kang/Konos thing, so they wandered off before one got trapped. Will try again and tap immediately on the quest list menu, and report back. For science! ---

With this latest update, there is a quest that requires the using of Cletus’ farm to make a new crop. Unfortunately, I started a new corn growing season a week ago. Is there a way to cancel the current grow, and replant something else so I can do the quest, or do I have to just wait until the corn comes in to complete it? ---

Yeah, You can put Cletus’ farm in storage, and pull it out agsin. You will start everything over, but you will lose the money you paid to start the corn crop. I haven’t decided if I am going to stop my corn or not. I’m not sure this task is worth the stopping of my corn.
