Wookiee’s Favorite Halloween Moments

TREEHOUSE OF HORROR XXII (In the Na’Vi)

Hey there!  How are my favorite Addicts doing?

Well, the day is upon us…  Hallowe’en aka All Hallow’s Eve.  I am so happy people took the Celtic festivity and it metamorphosed into the event it is today. While I’m aware that America seems to take this to excess (we like to Super Size things lol), I’m glad we do because it includes The Simpsons TOH episodes.

3D 101: Outdoor Theater

Hey there Addicterinos!

Bunny apparently got grounded in the basement so I get to show you how to make a 3D this week.  There really is nothing quite like using decorations to “trick” the eye into believing there is something extra.

For this week.  I’m gonna show you the build process for an outdoor theater.

A lil Halloween Treat Courtesy of EA

EA has really been quite generous to us this event. Plenitude of donuts, lots of free buildings, game cash purchasable items, and much much more.

I guess they felt they wanted to toss in just a little more. So hop on over to your game RIGHT NOW as this item is only available today. Halloween.

Happy Halloween from The Addicts!

Hey Howdy Hey Ghostly Tappers!

Happy Halloween everyone! Today’s the day for Tricks & Treats, Pranks & Candy, Goblins & Ghouls…it’s the day we’ve been celebrating over and over again since October 1st (and we’ll keep celebrating until Nov. 7th)!

Here at TSTOAddicts Halloween is kind of a big deal & the Addicts writer’s have prepared a special treat for our readers today! Throughout the day we’ll be dropping in with little snippets and recaps of our favorite Treehouse of Horrors Episodes.

THOH XXI 1

So it’s all treats here at TSTO Addicts, no Tricks we promise! (at least I promise. I left Bunny in charge today…who knows what she might do!)

Mini Update 10/30-Preparation for Halloween

Hopefully most of you in both Android and Apple markets have got the mini update loaded to your phone by now (my Android phone went all sorts of crazy and jumped back to 1 then spun through all the updates a million miles an hour til it was complete. Lol). This should be in preparation for the “free treat” EA has planned as yet another gift for the Halloween Event. There was much speculation and many items that could possibly be gifted to us. Being the cruel and mischievous Bunny that I am, I will not spoil this one. Just make sure you log into your game tomorrow to get your treat as it will ONLY be available on 10/31/2013 (U.S.A).

You Put the First Church of Lard Lad Where?!

Hey Howdy Hey Addicts!
One of the decorations we’ve unlocked as a community GOO Collecting is the First Church of Lard Lad (no crazy orange robes or turbans, just jelly-filled underwear!) At 5 billion GOO this was the first item we unlocked as a community. What I want to know is where you put it and what you’ve done with it?

Here’s a few that we saw..
Here’s mine:

Not much I know.  Halloween and level 36 have hit my town hard.  A redesign is needed as soon as there’s a lull in updates! 
Here’s Wookiee’s:

Looks like King Snorky is going in for his dose of Jelly Filled Underwear! 

So, show us yours! Leave the link for your First Church of Lard Lad screen shot in the comments below. You can upload your screen shot to our Flickr Site or by using Dropbox.  If you need help uploading photos using either method you can check out our how-to’s here:  Flickr & Dropbox.

Look forward to seeing just where you put that Donut Church!

Halloween and the Conform-O-Meter

With time running out on the Halloween event (ends Nov. 7th!) I figured now would be a good time to take a look at how all of the new additions from Halloween impact your Conform-O-Meter rating.
The Conform-O-Meter is an important part of Tapped-Out because it provides you with a bonus boost in your cash and  XP from everything you collect in the game.  When you achieve a 5-Star Town (it’s max rating) you will receive a 5% bonus on all money and XP collected in your town.  If you missed the previous Conform-O-Meter posts check here for the basics and here for how many points you’ll need to reach 5 stars.
While the Halloween event brought no changes to the Conform-O-Meter requirements, level 36 did though, it did bring us a ton of new items to add to our Springfield.  Let’s take a look at how all of the new “goodies” impact our rating:
