The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I’ve been dutifully plugging away even though the last prize was out of reach, thinking that an extension might be possible. Today it’s telling me that there’s an update, so I have to wait until I get a chance to go to Starbucks to see what’s up.

Unrelated question: For those of you who have Princess Kashmir, what is her testimony at Freddy Quimby’s trial? I’m in the midst of that questline just now.

The extension is 24hrs which means if I had been pushing I could have gotten the final prize but I wasn’t and so it doesn’t help me much.

I’m going to plug away but I don’t think I’ll make it on the last one. Maybe I’ll be low enough to use the few donuts I have lying around. Not sure yet.

The (447+ MB !!) Update today looks to be voluntary, so plug away while you can!

My update was only a mere 248MB.

Oooh, the canon still shoots elves, for no gain but your own pleasure.

…its good to see green grass again! I had done a bit of remodelling while the snow was still falling down: and my Springfield didn’t look that great (IMHO) but it looks much better in green. Put everyone on 24 tasks then closed it. Not looking at the game again for a day!

I just started playing this game! How do I hook up with y’all? So far my only friends are the ones from F’book.

What’s your Origin ID? We can ad you if we have that.

Mine’s Jsteck13.

I don’t have one. I guess I’ll make one when I get home tonight.

Episode tie-in content available today. Just an fyi for anyone taking a break between events.

Featuring Slave-Labor Willie! It doesn’t get any more downtrodden than this, folks.

Question: how does Sideshow You work?

Does each balloon have its prize determined independently, or is there a fixed set of prizes (e.g. one 50, two 25, three 10s, two 5s) in each play? The Wiki says the first one, but I have never gotten either two 50s or three 5s, so I have a feeling it’s the second. Then again, if there’s only one 50, then there has to be three of one of the others, but I also don’t remember ever getting three of the same number.

From the beginning I’ve assumed Sideshow You was just randomized, like a slot machine. As soon as you tap on the building, your fate is set. Popping the balloons is window dressing. I have no proof, but I don’t think there are specific prizes behind the balloons.

I think I’ve gotten multiple 50s etc.? I’m pretty sure that the doughnut prize isn’t randomized and appears after many (300?) taps.

Okay, who else bought an Electric Car and parked it next to the Stonecutters Lodge?

Think about it…

Anyone else looking to add friends?
Just started playing a few weeks ago (ruining my life, as advertised).

I’m ClaredeLoone there too, no spaces.

Thanks.

Just sent you a request. Welcome! I started playing about a year ago, and I have only just recently “caught up” to the game’s most recent levels. You will have a lot of fun in your future.

who’s befriended me!
It’s fun to see everyone’s layouts.

Does it take a bout a year of daily playing to make it through all the levels now? I have been playing 2 years(in a couple weeks, anyway) and I have been at max level forever now.
