Christmas Update Is Coming!

Posted on December 10, 2019 by Alissa | 12 comments

Update: Just getting this out of the way now so all of you who are going to gripe about it can gripe about it before it actually hits…this appears to be another 4 week multi-event. Starts tomorrow, ends January 8th.

Also, please don’t complain and say this event already sucks, or it’s the worst evet until at least week 2 of the event. And I especially don’t want to see/hear people complaining about it before it even goes live in games…

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

A bit of good news, and holiday cheer, for all of us….the Christmas update has hit the files! Everyone let out a collective sigh of relief…

This will likely follow the same pattern we’ve seen with updates…it’ll hit the files now, hit the app stores within a few hours (maybe even within 30 minutes), and then go live in-game tomorrow (Wednesday).

We have NOT received update info from EA, at least as of right now, but I’ll start working on pulling the files to see what’s incoming. Any info I find will be updated on THIS post. So check back often for updates!

Until then….“Snow. Snow. Snow. It won’t be long before we’ll all be there with snow”…

Hey Addicts, Caption This!

Posted on December 10, 2019 by Alissa | 10 comments

Sometimes TSTO gives us humorous little moments when we capture our characters doing rather strange things. These posts are all about those strange and funny moments!

When we can, we’ll be posting a Caption This! moment where we want you, the Addicts readers, to put on your writing caps and come up with what you think is happening in the screenshot. Post your captions in the comments below. We can’t wait to see how creative and funny you guys can be!

Hey Addicts… Caption This!

Super Safi’s Monday Morning Math Mayhem 31 – Paycheck Math

Posted on December 9, 2019 by Safi | 19 comments

Morning Mathematical Monsters & Maniacs!

(Today’s post is sponsored by the letter “M”)

Hi, I’m Super Safi and you may remember me from such stats and strategy posts as Kwik-E-Mart Farming and the advanced losing-to-win Superheroes battle strategy.

Over the past 600+ episodes, The Simpsons has taken us on an amazing mathematical journey involving fractions, probability, Fermat’s last theorem, and hundreds of other aspects from the wonderful world off mathematics.

And what better way to start your week, then by discussing math Monday morning?

Are you getting your final paychecks of the year? Have you ever looked at paycheck in detail? You ever use your weekly paycheck to calculate your annual salary or hourly wage? This week we take a look at our favourite patriarchs paycheck to calculate his hourly wage and annual salary.

Addicts Open Thread

Posted on December 8, 2019 by Alissa | 39 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

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) but for the most part, you’re free to talk about ANYTHING your little Tapping Fingers desire…just keep it PG.

So, here is your Open Thread…..

No new Simpsons tonight, but don’t worry they’ll be back next week with a new episode! (the Christmas one…)

Still, no Christmas update in TSTO, do you think it’ll hit this week? What do you think we’ll see content-wise?

How’s your holiday decorating/shopping going? Finishing up? Just getting started? Or waiting until the night before to do it all?

How’s your designing coming? What are you doing with your town? Share some photos in the comments below! (If you need a refresher on how to add photos to the comments check out this post)

And finally, how was your weekend? Do anything fun and exciting?

So chat about the Simpsons, TSTO, Update fun, or anything else you can think of! (Just no politics, it never ends well) Can’t wait to chat with you all, you know we love hearing from you!

Have Fun! And happy Sunday!

Ugly Christmas Sweaters and Another Addicts Shop Sale

Posted on December 7, 2019 by Alissa | 3 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

So, last week we ran an Addicts Shop sale for Black Friday. I had hoped to have some Ugly Christmas Sweater designs finished and approved by the time the sale went live, unfortunately, they took a bit longer to get approval on than I would have liked.

So….because of that hold-up, and the fact that the shirts were FINALLY approved yesterday afternoon…I’ve decided to run another Addicts Shop Sale! All items are 10% off (the biggest discount they’ll let me give)! Now is a great time to add some Addicts Swag to your wardrobe, or to get that special gift for the Addict in your life!

And the shop is now featuring 4 new Ugly Christmas Sweater designs…all Simpson/TSTO themed of course!

You guys may recognize some of the themes…

I’m particularly a fan of the Golden Goose one…I know a bunch of you are wishing EA would drop the GGR under your TSTO tree!

So check out the Addicts Shop here, and grab your TSTO swag! 🙂

Use the code HOLIDAY19 to get your discount in the shop! Sale ends December 14th!

And just as a quick note on the Addicts “swag”…I created this stuff because I enjoy doing it and the stuff makes me laugh/smile, and I thought you all would enjoy it too! 🙂

P.S. I’ve also extended the sale in the Laugh it Up Shop as well…

Use the code CHRISTMAS2019 for the discount in the Laugh It Up Shop…sale ends December 14th!

I don’t have any non-TSTO Ugly Christmas Sweaters, BUT there are a few fun and festive Christmas shirts! 🙂

Like these two…

Friday Filler – I May Have Killed Christmas

Posted on December 6, 2019 by Patric | 71 comments

Thank Grog It’s Firday!

I am starting to suspect that the lack of a Christmas Event in TSTO may be my fault. I know…I know…I’m just another blogger with an opinion. But, the correlation between game play and real life is starting to make me lose my freakinshirt!

This is the first year…ever…that there are some huge changes around my favorite holiday in our household…I mean huge.

Just like TSTO, “something is off” when it comes to tradition, and following any kind of regular schedule. And like TSTO, we are waaaaaaay behind on checking the boxes for this year’s celebrations.

But, even more terrifying to someone like me, who loves Christmas, is that it is starting to feel like the boxes are not only not being checked…but are being removed by a power outside of my control! It’s as if TSTO and life have suddenly changed, in ways that I never expected, nor really wanted! And, it may be MY FAULT!!

Springfield Showoff: All American Auction

Posted on December 4, 2019 by Alissa | 16 comments

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. 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”.
