The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I'm liking this last phase of the event. The statue is cool. Really hope it doesn't get destroyed at the end! :P

Overall in this event there have been a lot of new buildings. Makes space a bit of a priority again, although I still need a few more millio to get all the available land, but I don't have much more to get. I tend to put all the stuff from specific events in the same area, some more untidily than others (past valentines/easter/haloween events specifically), and I should get around to doing a proper clean up or storage of it. Pity you can't sell a lot of the clutter like stupid fences though.

I was reading that after the event the statue will have multiple skins (like the christmas decorations on houses) so you should be able to choose the level of destruction you want.

Hopefully there will be a bit of a break now that this even is effectively over and we won't be launching straight into an easter event. A small thing for a couple of days over easter would be good, but hopefully not a month long thing anyhow.

I'll skip the Easter event if there is one. Easter prizes are always crap, unsellable, unstoreable, and undumpable in KrappyLand.

Right. Event finished. See y'all at the next one.

coolisin · 28-03-2015 11:32pm

I was enjoying the event, my biggest gripe is you really had to log on multiple times a day to get through it.
I didnt get through all the prices once the hole collecting thing started, I slowed down playing.
Not enough characters earning event currency.

But I really enjoyed the last part.

Harrison Wells II · 29-03-2015 3:05pm

All in all that was ok.

MrsFlushdraw · 29-03-2015 10:03pm

Absolutely no jobs being given out. Don't want to put them all on 24h ones in case a task comes up.

Still no win at the dogs! I choose the bottom one every time, think this is the longest I have gone without a win.

Any character can be taken from a task by storing either them or the building they came with temporarily, with the exception of anyone doing a task in the Simpson house as that can't be stored, and neither can Homer/Lisa.

As for the dogs I'd say I've placed a bet on that only about twice in the last 2 years.

During this lull, I think it is time to clean up my freinds list. Anyone looking for friends add me.

blue haired lawyer
30 donuts

Where can you buy mystery boxes?

I've bought three in the past. Got newspaper dispenser, large hedge, and fences....

Edit: more fences...

Mars Bar · 01-04-2015 9:39pm

I'm not seeing any star shaped icon!

according to the tapped out forums those are gone from the new ones. you HAVE to update to get the new ones though.

it's in this icon:

wnolan1992 · 01-04-2015 10:02pm

I don't have that icon.

But hey, probably better off, I just got my mystery box for playing on consecutive days. F*cking large hedge.

endacl · 01-04-2015 10:07pm

The new post-update mystery box rocks! Had 30 donuts, and just thought why not...

News van, blue haired lawyer, bomb shelter, news van, khlav kalesh stand, 10 donuts, tire fire, minnow pond, 10 donuts, Kearney, 30 donuts, khlav kalesh stand, bomb shelter, I&S billboard, minnow pond, chalmers car.

News van, lawyer, kk stand, tire fire, and billboard are all new items that I didn't have. Well worth the 30, most of which I still have left.

when you click on the build menu button, (bottom right corner) you get this:

swipe right where it's circled and you should see it

(also UPDATE YOUR GAME FROM THE APP STORE)

Mars Bar · 01-04-2015 10:19pm

It worked once I updated!

Woshy · 01-04-2015 10:20pm

I got one mystery box today for playing consecutive days and got the news van, happy days. Then I decided I'd buy two boxes after reading this. Got another news van - grr (although it gives 2% bonus xp and money) and blue haired lawyer (yay!).

I kind of want to buy more now. I had 103 donuts, now down to 91. Hmm..... Should I? .

I bought 16 at 6 donuts each. And got back 50 Donuts in prizes. Plus a load of premium items.

Course you bloody should!

Woshy · 01-04-2015 10:35pm

Ok, I decided to let myself get down to 50 donuts. I won 30 so I spent them as well. I got Kearney, Squeaky Voiced Teen, the Tyre fire, two billboards, another news van (grr!), 2 Khav Khalesh stands, minnow pond, and 2 chalmers cars

Not a bad haul plus it was fun

ShazGV · 01-04-2015 11:53pm

Won Chalmer's car on my free box, then decided to get spendy.

Got a Khav Khalesh stand, another Chalmer's car, Kearney, minnow pond, 30 donuts, Blue Haired Lawyer, bomb shelter & another 30 donuts. Nice haul!

Those are some really nice prizes though, I hope it's a sign of things to come, and not just an Easter Miracle!

Cool. I have all the premium items there now then. I purchased Kearney by mistake ages ago when I had donut spend confirmation off due to a reinstall, and got squeaky voiced teen and lemon tree in a mystery box.

I've everything on the list, bar lard land.

I'm at this game too long...

wnolan1992 · 02-04-2015 11:58am

Finally got it updated. Only had 17 donuts, and got Chalmers' Car (yay!) and a Khlav Kalesh cart (ugh, had two of those already). Tempted to buy some donuts for the first time to avail of this chance to get those premium characters... $:\$

CSSE09 · 02-04-2015 11:19pm

I was very very lucky with mine, first box I got bluehaired lawyer, followed by Kearney, news van, chandlers car, pond, 30 donuts, lard lad, tyre fire. Grand total of 12 donuts spent.

wnolan1992 · 03-04-2015 4:10pm

I hit the Store All button, as I'd felt my town was getting to be a bit of an unmanageable mess.

I just spent 15 minutes creating a park in the centre with the Jebediah Statue, and have little or no desire to rebuild.

Oops. :pac:

It's a smashing park though in fairness...

:P

Chance to get 15 donuts by doing the Easter bunny's easy tasks.

Edit: As pointed out below it's 20 that you get. Overlooked the first 5.

Spent 12 of them on two mystery boxes. Won lard land and 30 donuts.

Now have all the mystery box premium prizes. Score.

wnolan1992 · 05-04-2015 5:43pm

I got 20 donuts. 5 for building easter fences, 5 for a Lisa job, and 10 for tapping the Easter float.

Had 20 already, so spent 40 on the Egg Council Guy.

What a waste. Doesn't even have jobs, just walks around.

Woshy · 05-04-2015 5:53pm

Yep, I got 20 donuts as well. I'm going to save them

Sunny Dayz · 05-04-2015 6:25pm

Got 20 donuts aswell. Got enough for blocko shop. Also spent on mystery box, got a bomb shelter.

The_B_Man · 05-04-2015 6:49pm

I'm getting a good few donuts in the mystery box. Dying for Old Gil to have barney's bowlerama on sale. Between him, Hank Scorpio and Frink, they're the premium items I want the most.

mrsoundie · 06-04-2015 12:20pm

Has anyone seen the price of the purple house? 216000!

wnolan1992 · 07-04-2015 5:27pm

Town more or less rebuilt, and looking pretty damn snazzy! Although I don't have room for a few buildings such as the race track and Burns' Prison (why would a town have two prisons, and I need the one for Snake...)

Question though, I was reading TO Addicts, and they have a thread specifically for people who want neighbours who won't vandalise their buildings. What's the downside of graffiti? I just use it whenever there aren't 3 buildings I can tap on....

Ice Storm · 07-04-2015 7:44pm

I read that too about the graffiti and I think that the problem people have with it is that it can affect your righteousness rating?

But my righteousness is at 5 stars and friends graffiti my buildings so maybe it's changed... I dunno.

I won top prize on the dogs today, woo hoo!

endacl · 07-04-2015 10:13pm

Does cleaning graffiti off your buildings not increase the righteousness score?

corkie · 08-04-2015 11:15pm

Level 51 - In game update!

Level 51 is here: Dr. Marvin Monroe and Frank Grimes!

Is "Grimey" worth the 160 donuts????

From the good episode "Homer's Enemy"

Building Training Walls will prevent that rating from ever dropping again!

So that's why mine has gone down recently, because I've stored the multitude of those that I had. I must find somewhere fairly discrete to put them again. I knew there had to be a reason I had so many in the first place.

Our internet is broken (a lorry took a load of telephone lines with it through our town yesterday!!) so I'm trying to reserve my data and now there's an update and I can't play unless I download that update.
