The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I just got Costingtons (24 hour build). Since I have all the Christmas prizes, I’m going to renew my efforts to click Squidport tiles when I hit other towns.

Yes, that’s what happened for me.

On another note, I had no idea that Cletus’ farm stuff withered if not tapped. That explains why every now and then I lose a handshake for no apparent reason, I guess!

Just found out that crops, or at least Moonshine, wither and die after 24 hours, period. I’ve harvested it a few times, always leaving at least one handshake. Just came back to weeds, after leaving two handshakes up, right at the 24-hour mark. So I lost two harvests worth of money and XP, but net gained three or four.

Thanks! I finally saw the little guy. I was looking for something that looked like a stiffed bear, not something running around.

I’ve been wondering this also. I have no Barney, so do I win him and the plow king stuff or is my wheel always going to skip that spot?

This is good to know. I have one handshake on my moonshine, and I haven’t harvested it yet. I’m hoping for at least one more handshake. But I can’t remember when I planed it, so I’ll probably take it off the board sooner rather than later. I don’t want to lose the whole thing.

I just got a token (came in one of the big box packages) and won the ice sculpture. I was bummed until I realized it was 2.25% multiplier. If i knew that, I would have never won it.

Also, I added some tiles to my Squidport, so I hope this adds to the XP that people are getting. Let us know if you notice an increase in XP. Sorry for the delay in adding them, but i had to get $19k to buy the piece of ocean to build the boardwalk over.

I’ve read that if you get Plow King and don’t have Barney, Barney will show up on the prize wheel eventually. Which is good, cause I got Plow King too.

I finally found my first coin today. I just got lights or a Simpson snowperson. Forget which. I don’t the totem much, but I love the multiplier. When I clicked on Gulp N Blow, it was telling me I have a 20% bonus now, and I started December with just 13. Don’t know where the other bumps came from, but it makes me happy.

I spent some of my donuts (50) to buy a package of 10 tokens to spin. Got snowman Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, Grampa, Maggie, Santa’s Little Helper, plus the Christmas facade for 3 more houses, bringing me up to 7.

What do you guys think? Waste of donuts?

Kind of a waste considering what you got. However, had you gotten the buildings, it would have been a better deal. In my opinion, anyway.

A day or two ago, I bought snowball II snowman for 20 donuts, at the suggestion of folks here. Today I won it again on the wheel.

Do I get the multiplier for each?

ETA: is there somewhere that I can see what my multiplier total is?

I have not seen one, but would love it. I am pulling approximately 190% normal earnings right now, but I’d love to have it display the actual modifier total.

How do you know this?

Is this just what you’ve figured out by the cash returned from the gulp -n- blow?

I have no idea what my multiplier is yet.

I have 3% from the conformity meter in the lower corner.
I have 2.25% from the ice goddess
I have .75% from SLH ice sculpture
I have .25-% from a burning bush

And that’s all i know, and I’n not exactly sure if this is correct, but the next time the G&B is ready, I’m going to see if I can figure out the multiplier.

190% is incredible! You are basically receiving double for each payout… That is fantastic.

I think I’m going to buy the nuclear warhead for 50 donuts. It comes with a 2.25% multiplier, which is the best bang for the donut I have found so far. I’ll keep looking before I pull the trigger.

Does one of the tsto sites have the prizes all broken down by multiplier?

I have done rough calculations by counting the cash I get from buildings.

What prize do you guys most want from the Wheel? I want Clauss Co. so bad I could kill someone.

I better get it!

still seems like snowball II snowman is a better deal at 2% for 20 donuts.

Construction on Costingtons has begun.

Now the spins start rolling in.

If I don’t get my Mr Plow jacket by the time this ends, there will be…“repercussions”.

Does anyone else notice that more and more good stuff has become donut-based rather than in-game-cash-based? I’m sitting on $5 mil in game and would gladly use that for premium stuff.

Is EA that hard up for real money that we now have to spend in on virtual things?

Any word of a donut sale this Xmas?

Yes, there is a donut sale only on dec. 25.

I believe the deal is that all packs come with 25% more donuts.

Also, the rumor is that all gift cards and bags double for the 25th also.

The point of the game is for EA to make money. Why would you think otherwise?

good point :smack:

Well, I decided to spend a few real world dollars to buy some donuts to buy 20 spins. I managed to get most of the Simpsons snowmen, the Helter Shelter, several sets of house lights (enough to get up to 10) and Claus Co. I’ve spent worse money on games in my life.

I would agree. I must have missed this suggestion. Can one buy more than one snowman, and will that multiplier stay on after the holidays?

Is Costingtons one of the things you can win with a spin token?

True enough. If that makes you happy, $20 is relatively cheap for what you received.

Rejoice!

Hentor, i missed the edit window and forgot to ask… Did you get the double multiplier, (for having two snowball II snowmen) or have you not figured that out yet?

Also, do you know if you keep the multipliers after Christmas, when i assume the snowmen go away?

I don’t know if anyone who has played this for over a year knows this, but it seems from what i’ve read, christmas specific items that you have stay in your inventory from year to year, but they don’t stay on your screen after the holiday is over. Is this correct? If I want to leave christmas lights on a house all year, can i do that?

I hit Claus Co. yesterday. Would love to get Mr. Plow soon.
