The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I got all the things, this time with a day to spare!

I think buying the friends card really works out for me. I only have so many opportunities in the day to play, so getting the extra 500 or so whatevers from friends does make quite an impact. I was scrambling at the end of each act but I did get all the goodies!

And as soon as this last storyline ends, there’s a new update with the Pin Pals.

Yeah, a mini-event through the 23rd. Prizes are pretty meh for part 1. I do like the Pin Pals skin for Homer and the bowling lane decoration.

I got all the things from the spy event, along with some bonuts… except Scorpio’s black outfit. Not sure how I didn’t end up with that. Cool that the drone scan is still working, and giving items for Heights and monorail.
For the PinPals event, I was offered a 90-donut “refund” if I purchased Barney’s Bowlarama (total cost 160 donuts, instead of 250).
I had to buy some donuts… but now I have one of my favorite characters of the show.

“My name is Barney Gumble. I’m 40, I’m single, and I DRINK!”

I just got THE CLAW! machine. Otto has a task to play it and get 2 shoes as a reward.

Also you can play the claw machine and win shoes.

So, what does maxing-out the Conform-o-meter do for you?
If I buy a few more restaurants and a boatload of trees/plants/etc., I can have 5 stars on the meter… just wondering if it’s worth spending the money/donuts to get there.

Yeah try to max it out because it helps you get money faster as you conform better. And it’s kind of a fun part of beginning the game - the struggle of conforming.

Don’t spend donuts on it tho. Not worth it, unless it’s for a character or something you really wanted. But not, like, on a tree or a sign.

Earnings multiplier. My tree hugging maxed out at some point, and I’m not sure why; I didn’t buy hundreds of trees

And a new adventure involving Homer’s workroom has arrived.

Thank God. I was going crazy what with all the nothing to do in-game.

It’s a little misleading, I think. You build the bench and then nothing happens. Some people peeked in the files and something else happens in a few days, then a few later. Looks like an event next week.

Turns out I did have it after all - it was in storage.

Updates for the next big event are starting to show up for download. I’m downloading from google play now.

Did a money sink event with Cecil Terwilliger come up for everyone? I saw the payouts briefly before it bugged, and now I can sent Cecil on tasks but not the event screen.

Yes!
I think that it flashed up something about Springfield heights, then it disappeared.
I do enjoy a mystery.

Yes! Something that starts with a $20mm purchase. I don’t know how to get back to it. Cecil should be in your town now tho…

It’s not Heights related. It’s another long term expensive goal like Burn’s money mountain.

Some of Cecil’s tasks are now very expensive and progress can be can be seen as part of the ‘Daily Challenges’ button in the upper right. There should be a third tab labeled Road to Riches.

Thank you. Was bugging the hell out of me.

Thank you. I must have seen a flash about money and assumed Springfield heights. Between this and the dinosaurs, so much to do.
So much cool stuff to collect.
*waves goodbye to doing anything productive for the next few weeks.
