It’s that time of the week again, time for the Addicts Weekly Open Thread! So, let’s get the conversation going! Oh and remember…just because this is posted here today doesn’t mean you can’t comment on it all week long. This open thread will still be open for comments long after today is over!
Here’s where you can talk about anything you want to talk about…TSTO Related, Simpson’s Related or ANYTHING. Just no Add me requests…those should go here. We’ll give you a few suggestions (like most Sunday’s you can talk about the current episode of the Simpsons or current Tapped Out event) but for the most part, you’re free to talk about ANYTHING your little Tapping Fingers desire…just keep it PG.
Who’s ready for what’s next in our pocket-sized towns? Well, you’re in luck because we’ve received our info packet from EA and we’re FINALLY allowed to share the details with you! Curious about what’s included in the next event? When does it start? How many donuts do you need? Who should you keep free? Want some major event spoilers?! Well look no further…we answer all of that and more here…
Just a reminder for our hearing-impaired readers, or those who check the site at work. You can totally watch this video without sound. Aside from the subtitles, I have TONS of detailed graphics on this video that will outline all the event details.
Thoughts? Excitement? Are you ready for it?! Sound off below, you know we love hearing from you!
As we sit here frakkin files, pulling pics, and typing a million words a minute to get our readers the latest updates and information…we sometimes find ourselves forgetting to stop and enjoy our own games. More so our neighboreenos. So we try to make it a point to hop in n out of the towns now and then to see what cool things YOU are up to. So we have decided we want to continue to focus more attention (as if we don’t already 😛 ) on YOU…our readers. From time to time we will be peaking into your towns, checking our Flickr, and also the posts in the comments below to see what cool ideas and designs YOU have come up with to make your towns unique and…well…YOU. So here is YOUR chance to show off all your hard work, time, donuts & in-game cash spent. Send us your work, no matter how big or small, and brag about it to the world. We want you to! Then keep your eyes posted to Addicts to see if YOU end up on our “SPRINGFIELD SHOWOFF”.
The event itself is set to end on Feb 1st at 14:00 UTC
The Shattered Dreams box ends on Feb 7th at 14:01 UTC
14:00 UTC is UK 2pm GMT and US 9am ET.
If you haven’t finished the prize track try and at least start part 5. I believe when the timer runs out you’ll see the message “Springfield’s Got Talent? is over! But don’t worry! You can still finish your current quest and earn its reward.” Continue reading →

If you’ve been zapping through your tapping or just want a reminder on what the writers got up to for this mini event you’re in luck. Here’s a post with all the dialog and tasks just for you.
Here’s what’s in this post:

Now it’s time to take a look at the prize character, Manager Nigel, who was the fifth and final prize.
Here’s what’s in the post:
• Basic info
• Questline with Dialog

All of you who’ve been tapping away happily will probably already have all these. For those who want a reminder or haven’t got there yet, or for future readers who find these things have come back as returning items, here’s a look at the first four prizes from this mini event. The fifth and final prize is Manager Nigel, and as a character with a questline and tasks I’ll get to that in a separate Walkthrough post.
Here’s what this post contains:
• Springfield Academy of Music
• 8 Track Shack
• Mike Pop’s Recording Studio
• Duff Gardens Stage
It’s that time…calling all Addict Designers! We’re getting ready to do the next Springfield Showoff, and this time around I want to see what you’ve done with the Springfield’s Got Talent mini-event stuff! With new and old buildings and decorations arriving with this event, show me how you fit them into your Springfield! So prep those towns…because we want to see what you’ve done with your Springfield!
As always please remember to limit it to 1-2 of your favorite areas/photos…we can’t show your whole town unless you want to send in your entire town via town portrait.
So use this time to polish up your town and show us how creative you can be! Send in your event inspired designs (by 8 pm ET Tuesday, January 31st) and we’ll be putting up the Showoff post featuring your designs on Wednesday, February 1st.
Remember, your designs can be anything and everything from Springfield’s Got Talent new and old, and how you worked it into your Springfield
So grab some screenshots of your town, or finish up those designs…just make sure to send your submissions in by about 8 pm ET Tuesday, January 31st can’t wait to see what YOU have come up with.
You can send your designs in two ways…either post a link to the image in the comments on this post or you can email them to us at TSTOAddictsblog@gmail.com. We won’t be pulling images from anywhere else, so please if you want to be featured either submit in the comments below or email your images to us.
Note: PLEASE try to limit your submissions to only 1-2 of your favorite screenshots. We like to try and let everyone showoff their town but it becomes difficult when some of you are sending in 7-10 images. Pick your favorite areas and send them in (or if you stitch photos together, that works too). We’ll try our best to get EVERYONE in, but please understand that sometimes we miss a photo or two. If we miss you one week, we’ll try really hard to make sure we get you in the next week. You’re always welcome to showoff your town, at any time, on our Flickr page. We know a lot of you have awesome towns that you want to show off, but please try to stick with this week’s theme. Remember, this isn’t a contest. There’s nothing to win. It’s just a fun way to showoff your town and get some design inspiration from your fellow Addicts. 🙂
Do you want to be featured on the next Springfield Showoff? Post your images in the comments below or email us your screenshots at TSTOAddictsblog@gmail.com. We can’t wait to see YOUR designs! (Need help with images, just ask.)
While this isn’t the usual Should I Buy here’s the details on the cash offering for this event. With a little luck that will help guide you but please share your thoughts and opinions in the comments.
Here’s what’s in the post:
• Basic info
• Questline with Dialog
