The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Yeah the last payout for the gingerbread house is 'generous' so this should get you over the line

BTW neighbours beginning with the letter 'S' you should all have presents in your Springfields, most of them have dropped behind buildings or decorations so get hunting!

How generous...



Oh, as you've mentioned presents behind buildings, can I use this as an opportunity to apologise to anyone here who's dropped a present in my town that I haven't opened? I'm awful at finding them...

Wait, we have to open them ourselves?

Ah FFS!! I thought they opened automatically! :mad:

What's the screen that pops up when you log in about then?

That screen shows you the results from other people opening the boxes you've dropped in their towns. You've find all the ones other people have dropped in your town individually. Bit annoying if you've a cluttered, large town.

Hiding the buildings makes it easier to find them.

Got the orphans woohoo

Yeah, looking forward to more craftable items in act II, it doesn't look like I'm going to get the bonuts for surplus santa hats, the targets are very tight this event

speaking of hidden presents, I've been slowly getting back into the whole mono-rail track layout task that I've been planning to finish since the event finished and I was trying to complete my track today but it wouldn't allow me to put in the final piece of track . . .

turns out there was present behind the building I was trying to place the track behind, connorosullivan84 please take a bow for sneaky present hiding!

No more Santa hats in act 2. Which is annoying because I was saving them for new prizes. Mistletoe it is! Snowman just earns money now. 10h for the first task in the petting zoo and only 3 levels though; maybe EA realised it was very tight last time? Then again there are more attractions to build in this act, but not having to check in every 4 hours is a big help!

There's a christmas tree sales craftable in the menu. It gives mistletoe every 4 hours. There was no prompt to build it so some may not notice it's there.

There's all new craftables too. I havent looked through it yet to see what I like.

I hope people didn't craft this like I did. The first daily challenge is to craft it. I've already done it so the challenge is now impossible.

I'd imagine it's a glitch. They've a week to fix it. Here's hoping we get credit for the one already built. I don't want two of the feckers...

Try storing it in your inventory and placing it again?

I also had it crafted before the weekly task.

Damn, normally wouldn't craft things unless the event told me to, so I've no idea why I did

Don't worry too much reports are in that EA are working on a patch!

Can not be sold and only one can be crafted!

MrsFlushdraw

Came on about irregular Christmas tree as well, seems we were all crafting away!

Can folks that didn't do it and are able to go to the next days tasks let us know what we have to do so that we can keep on top of the challenge?

Once it can be dumped in KrappyLand once the event is over, I'm happy...

from another site, including picture above wrote:

There's a glitch with Maggie! Do not start her questline until you have done the 4pts of Burning Wrath of Fire or you will miss 400 mistletoes.
Once you start Maggie BWoF will disappear and as each part rewards 100 mistletoes you will miss out on them if you start Maggies questline.
Mags quest is a continuation of Act two and apparently skipping ahead (with the early release) and doing it out of chronoligical order is not possible. Wish EA had not done the early release or halted Maggies quest, making it required to finish act two before it triggered.

Marge prompts it. It can sit in the book but do not start it.
