Should I Spend Donuts On Circus of Values?

Posted on December 11, 2018 by | 6 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Grab your Santa hats and break out the tinsel because it’s Christmas time in Springfield! Yes the annual TSTO Christmas event has arrived in our pocket-sized towns, covering our usual perfect weather towns with a fresh blanket of bright, white, snow!   Of course, by now, we all know that a new event means a new excuse for EA to fill our stores with limited-time premium items to tempt us.

As we all know, that limited-time label can tempt us to grab everything in sight because it’ll be gone soon.  But don’t sweat it!  That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.

Wondering if you should add Circus of Values to your Springfield?  Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this episode 1 throwback to your town…

Addicts Want to Know: 2018 “Year In Review” Main Events

Posted on December 11, 2018 by | 15 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Well, we’re nearing the end of 2018.  Another year in the books and another year full of events in TSTO.  As we prepare to head into 2019, we’re one again planning on doing a very special Addicts Live for the end of the year.  This will be pre-recorded, so nothing to tune in live for.  Just like we did last year, this year in review episode will feature a discussion about 2018 in TSTO.  We’ll talk about the events, share our opinions about each event & we hope to include your opinions as well!

So in preparation for that episode, I’ve prepared an Addicts Poll…a place for you to break down just the events of 2018.  This way we can keep Addicts Live interactive, despite being pre-recorded.

Last week we covered the mini-events, and now we’re breaking down the main events.

So please, take a moment to answer the poll questions below about main events in TSTO during 2018, and as always feel free to elaborate your thoughts more in the comments below.

We will share the results of this, and the mini-events poll, on the episode of Addicts live that will air either New Years Eve or New Years Day. 

Thank you!

Christmas 2018 Week 2 Is About to Start

Posted on December 11, 2018 by | 52 comments

Note: If you’re having trouble with unlocking your Pageant booth it’s not the game…it’s you.  Please read this post.  There’s even a video to watch on that explains it.  I can’t help you if you don’t want to read or watch a video…

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow morning, Wednesday, December 12th, Week 2 (Act 2) of Christmas will be starting.  The official start time is 10am ET (1500 GMT).

While the Week 1 questline won’t be going anywhere, so if you haven’t finished the prizes you’ll have a chance to complete it even after Week 2 starts, some of the premium items will be leaving the store.

So if you planned to purchase Kathy or the Acrobat (SIBs linked) do so before they leave our games tomorrow morning. (It doesn’t appear that they will help with Week 2, they’re unique to week 1)

Also, here’s some inside info to help you prepare for Week 2 to start…

As we know Bart will be telling the story during Week 2.  Characters needed for week 2 tasks are:
Homer
Lisa
Bart
Marge
Grampa
Maggie
Wiggum
Krusty
Mr. Burns
Martin
Nelson

There will also be three new premium characters introduced during week 2, all three of those characters will be able to help with the currency earning.  (524 donuts will be needed if you’d like to purchase all three characters)

And that’s it my friends!  Be prepared for Week 2 to start up tomorrow morning!

Thoughts on week 1?  Ready for week 2?  Excited to see where Bart takes the story?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
