Sensible does sound like weapons being locked and loaded to me, which seems anachronistic because they sound modern. I guess it _is_ a Fort (as in a military installation), but I just hadn’t thought of that. I just always heard the guns and saw the caption that said “Boring Schoolchildren”. I supposed they mean that school children are getting a tour of it. In my mind, there were school children there, like there learning or working or something. I didn’t really think of it as a military thing until now. ---

> [@Joey\_P](#): > > As far as “Squidport” is that the same as what I’m hearing about being able to buy property along the water? I’ve been trying to save my money for that, but I seem to be at a point in the game where I’ve had to spend a lot of money. Police station, Jail, Gilded Truffle, barbershop, two restaurants…all one after another. I’ve had under $500 at least once a day for the last week or so. But I’m not spending any unnecessary money. As soon as those properties open up, I want to buy them all up, assuming I like them. Yes, the Squidport update looks to be an expansion that has you rebuilding the town along the waterfront with new land opening up, and a bunch of buildings and decorations specific the that area. I think it runs along a parallel quest track at the 15th level. Nobody knows when it will start. Rumors abound. So you will need money for that. But buildings are fairly cheap - at least compared to things like The Skinner House. I would suggest saving up. And don’t worry, you will get to a point where the money comes fairly easily. ---

I see they’ve updated the wiki page from being just a rumor or even a poll about what the creators should do for summer to squidport being what it’s going to be. Not just that, it’s all planned out, they’ve got all the different parts, characters, buildings, costs etc. Obviously, someone knows something. > **[Squidport Expansion](https://simpsonstappedout.fandom.com/wiki/Squidport_Expansion)** > > "Squidport" redirects here.

> [@Trion](#): > > And don’t worry, you will get to a point where the money comes fairly easily. I hope so. I just sunk almost all my money into the jail (and a piece of land for the jail) and it’s about 8 hours away from being done and I was just told that I have to build King Toot’s. I should have enough money to build that by the end of the day and then I’ll be back to zero. It’ll be nice when I can sign on a few times a day, clear out all the money, start some quests, put all my characters into 4 or 8 or 12 hours jobs and be done with it. ---

I think I am accidentally hosing myself out of donuts. When I go to collect cash from my plethora of blue houses, I tap furiously and sometimes I accidentally knock on the door while doing so. I try to just arrow back out of it but I think a couple times after drinking that I must have allowed a couple donuts to speed up the transition. I only have seven left and I did have sixteen a few days ago. ---

The Whacking Day update was released April 10. ---

> [@Trion](#): > > The Whacking Day update was released April 10. So then if I had to take a shot in the dark, I’d say we have another week or two. Also, since there was an update today and nothing happened, it’s probably not going to magically start working at midnight unless there’s another update. I’m guessing there will be another update when the Summer Event get’s released. As I recall, Whacking Day was set to end around midnight and as people signed on in the last 6 or 7 hours of the day there was an update that ended the event. ---
