Tapped Out Walkthrough: Level 27

Rev. Lovejoy Starts things off

Buddha’s Got Back Pt. 1
After Tapping Lovejoy

Rev. Lovejoy: Ah, Lisa Simpson!  You wanted to speak to me about a spiritual crisis.  Perhaps you’ve come to hear a humble ‘I told you so’.
Lisa: Actually, I’m trying to find meaning in this world of daily drudgery.
Reverend Lovejoy: All you need to do is trust in the wisdom of the Almighty Finger. I mean, God.
Lisa: Actually, Springfield exploded and then returned. I’ve been thinking this might be proof of the Buddhist concept of Samsara –
Reverend Lovejoy: Oh Lord. Is this another conversation where you convince me Buddha was just a chubby Jesus?

Little Miss Mantra
After Tapping Lisa

Lisa: Now that the Buddhist Temple is back, I can continue on my quest toward spiritual enlightenment.
Marge: Oh, honey, can’t you just go to normal church with the rest of us? I don’t want us all to end up in different heavens.
Homer: Eh, let her go, Marge. The boy’s not going to be there anyway – it’ll be nice for you and me to have some alone time.
Lisa: Thanks, Dad…I guess.
Make Lisa Meditate– 30 minutes

Buddha’s Got Back Pt. 2
After tapping Lenny

Lenny: Wow, we suffered a fiery nuclear death and now we’re reborn!  I guess the Buddhist theory of reincarnation is right.
Carl: Yeah. And we came back as ourselves. Boy, we must’ve really screwed up last time.
Lenny: But we did everything right. Gave to the poor. Helped old ladies cross the street. Made sure our magazines were, at the minimum, barely legal. I was hoping to be reincarnated as you.
Carl: I don’t understand it either. We need to go someplace where we can contemplate the mysteries of our existence.

Buddha’s Got Back Pt. 3

Lenny: But Moe, all our money burned up in the explosions.
Moe: So did my bar tabs… but I still expect you to pay them!
Homer: If you need money, you guys should get your old jobs back at the plant.  Then you can cover for me when I’m never there.
Send Lenny to do a Plant Shift- 16hrs
Send Carl to do a Plant Shift-
16hrs
Auto starts when you send them on the Plant Shift
Smithers: Thank you both for reporting to work.  Unfortunately, with so few people in this town, and my recent raise, we only have enough money to pay one of you.
Lenny: Only one? Well, then I say give the job to Carl.
Carl: I say give the job to me as well.
Lenny: Hey! I thought you were going to do that thing where you say no, give him the job, and then we argue over something good.
Carl: Nope. Did that thing where I just take it.
And Lenny and Carl begin their plant shift – but only Carl will get paid (16 hours – Lenny and Carl will begin the next part)
With that they both start their plant shift, but only Carl will get paid for it.
Lenny starts the next part

Make Lenny Mope– 24hrs

Lenny’s Downfall Pt. 3
After tapping Lenny

Lenny: Hi, is there a problem officer?
Wiggum: There sure is.  For starters, it is illegal to kick a can in the town of Springfield.
Lenny: But that law is outdated.  It was in Season 16!
Wiggum: Also, you jay-walked back there, you don’t have a license for those suspenders, and you just talked back to a police officer.  Strike four!

Smithers: But sir, we only have two other employees. And one of them is Homer Simpson.
Burns: Then we’ll have to promote the other one.
Carl: Thank you, Mr Burns, but I’ve reached the phase of Buddhist enlightenment where I feel no attachment to material wealth.
Burns: I’m willing to give you a sixty-percent raise and a four month signing bonus.

Homer: Uh, yeah. Have you seen Lenny lately? ‘Cause if not, I have him right here.
Lenny: Hey guys, thanks for agreeing to meet me. I’d like to offer you a great opportunity to give me money. I need it to buy back my freedom from this guy I met in prison.
Carl: Jeez, Len, you don’t look so good. Or act so good.
Lenny: I’m trying to outrun the inescapable feeling of failure and disappointment. WHAT’S THAT BEHIND ME!?
Carl: I think you need to rest, buddy. And I need to think some things over. Soberly for a change.
Make Carl Meditate-4hrs

True Bromance Pt. 2
After tapping Carl

Carl: Excuse me, Mr. Burns, I was wondering if you could find it in your heart to hire back my good friend Lenny Leonard.
Burns: In my heart? Ho-ha, what a delightful jape!
Carl: Please, sir. Couldn’t you just pay me less, and use the money you save to hire Lenny?
Burns: But if I paid you less, you wouldn’t be making more money than you deserve… which means you could no longer be an executive.
Carl: Then I guess I’ll just go back to my old job.
Burns: Very well. Your compassion has taught me something… why I am ludicrously rich and you are middle class. You and your friend can have your menial, nuclear energy jobs. Now let your dainty sentiments never poison my ears again.
Make Lenny do a Plant Shift-16hrs
Make Carl do a Plant Shift-
16hrs
Lenny: Carl, you got me my old job back! You are the truest of true pals – it’s times like these when I wish we could do more than bro hug.
Carl: I realized I needed you, Lenny. Standing next to you is the only way I look relatively attractive.
Lenny: I wish there was some disturbingly grandiose way to show you my gratitude.
If you have the donuts and purchase Mount Carlmore here (120 donuts) this line appears
Carl: Thanks, Lenny.  Let’s go spelunk my nose.

Quests start right after the video of Homer blowing up Springfield Ends
-Square One
All dialogue spoke by Homer here:
“Hello, anybody here? Huh.  I guess it’s true what they say about atomic blasts—the safest place to be is ground zero. I wonder where my loving family is…and Bart.  Task book is then highlighted.  Whoa, whoa – if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s when you open books, bad things happen”
Prompted to build the Simpson House, 6 seconds.

Homer: “Lisa!  Thank God you’re here to guide me through this tutorial.”
Lisa: “ What happened?”
Homer: “Difficult to say sweetie.  The town blew up, I built our house and you showed up.  All we know for sure is, I’m completely blameless.”
Lisa: “Hmm.  Maybe if we keep building things, Mom and Bart will show up too.”
Homer: “I’m sure they will.  This thing would be way too sad if they didn’t”
Lisa: “Then let’s do it.  But first, we should clean this place up a bit.”
Homer: “You’re joking right?”

Springfield Cleaners Pt. 1 Despite his objections, Homer cleans up some of the debris left by the explosion (6 seconds – don’t make him clean up everything – just one piece is enough for this stage.)

Springfield Cleaners Pt. 2 Lisa joins in the Springfield clean up (6 seconds, Lisa finds a donut)

Lisa: “Hey, I found a donut!”
Homer: “It looks like one of the donuts from the break room.”

I Can Use Donuts to Buy Game Money, Why Can’t I Use Game Money to Buy Donuts?

Update 9/29/16….Since writing this post there are now ways added to the game where you can technically use in-game cash to “buy” donuts. Check out this post to learn more about XP and Donut Farming.

There’s no clear cut answer to that only theories but TSTO is a “freemium” game, which means that you can play the game for free and still have it be very enjoyable but there are also premium content additions that can take the game to another level. And if you want that premium content you have to pay for it.
It’s also doubtful that there will ever be an option to turn game money into donuts. EA is a business, businesses need to make money in order to pay salaries. The income from the donut purchases are what go into creating new levels and content for the game.

Keep in mind though they may still do a promotion where you can convert another type of game currency you earn into donuts, like they did last Christmas with Santa Coins.

Remember: Donut Purchases=new content 

It’s How Much For Donuts?!

Unfortunately, yes donuts can get a pricy and with new premium content being added all the time if can feel like you’ll never have enough saved for Kamp Krusty! But you have to look at it like this…donuts are what pay for this game. People buy donuts, EA makes money and new levels and content are released.

Donut Purchases=new levels.

That being said you certainly don’t have to purchase donuts to have an awesome town. The best thing about TSTO is that you don’t need the premium content in order to have an awesome town. There are towns out there with 0 donut purchases that look awesome, and some with all premium content that look like the store threw up on it. It’s all about the player and their creativity, that’s what makes the game awesome!

There’s also an option to buy a $0.99 Golden Scratcher at the Kwik E Mart where you’re guaranteed to win every time. Donut pay outs range from 6-100 donuts. More details on the Golden Scratcher and odds later.

Free Donuts: Everybody wants em’ but how do I get em’:

Update 9/29/2016….Since the writing of this post there have been LOADS of ways to add free donuts to your game from within the game.  Here are some quick ways to add them, with the breakdowns of how:
Click the links for more details

–Where’s Maggie Game, Maggie will unlock for you at Level 26 with the Play-Annoyed Grunt questline.  You’ll have a shot at 1,2 or 3 free donuts after you find Maggie 3 times.  Game resets every 16hrs.

–Daily Challenges. Each day you’ll be given a challenge to complete, frequently these challenges award free donuts!

–Rail Yard.  The Monorail will unlock for you once you’ve reached Level 20.  Each week at the Monorail you’ll be able to earn tracks and other prizes..and the fifth prize (with the exception of a couple of times) will award free donuts! (typically five free donuts.  But some of the initial rounds will award 20 free donuts)

–XP/Donut Farming. This is a method of building/placing some items in your game to build up your XP quickly and level up rapidly.  Each time you level up you’ll be awarded at least 1 free donut! This method usually involves turning on the XP Collider.

–Friend Visits. After you’ve unlocked all of the social prizes there’s a chance to earn donuts from tapping in a neighbor’s town.

-There’s also often opportunities to earn free donuts during various events.

-Oh and one thing I forgot to mention in the post below is the 10 free donuts from the Easter Egg in the Jeb StatueEaster Egg in the Jeb Statue…
“There’s got to be a way to get free donuts!” Well, unfortunately, because the fried deliciousness treat is the premium content for the game (i.e. the only thing in the game that costs real world cash money) freebies don’t come easy. And anyone who tells you they can get you donuts for free (or discounted) is most likely using a hacked version of the game…

-First and foremost sign up for an origin account…you get 2 FREE donuts just for creating an account.

-The best way to get donuts is by leveling up in the game. So far every level increase comes with a bit of sarcastic humor and free donuts. From levels 1-7 you receive a 1 donut bonus for leveling up and once you hit level 8 2 donut bonuses for leveling up start to appear but you don’t get 2 donuts for every level.

Here’s the breakdown (as of the Krustyland Update, levels 1-32):
Levels 1-7, 9-10, 12, 14-16, 18-19, 21-23, 25-26, 28-30 & 32 all have a 1 donut bonus for leveling up
Levels 8, 11, 13, 17, 20, 24, 27 & 31 all have a 2 donut bonus for leveling up.

So that’s 40 donuts right there, just for leveling up! That’s pretty easy right?

-There is also a 3 donut bonus once you complete all of the level 30 quests, a little present from EA since the level 30 update was not exactly their best.

-If you haven’t already done so, do the Jebediah Springfield Statue bonus (see the “I saw _______ in my neighbor’s town, but I can’t figure out how to add it to mine” post for details in how to complete it). That little trick comes with 10 free donuts, plus you get a free statue of Jebediah Springfield for your town!

So we’re at a total of 55 donuts guaranteed in this game, JUST FOR PLAYING, not too bad. 

There are some other ways to get donuts in this game, but the quantities are not guaranteed:
-You usually find a few donuts when you clean up your Springfield. Personally, I’ve found a total of 8 donuts while doing this but it does take a while.

-Sometimes EA will run a promotion that comes with free donuts (they did this at Christmas and Halloween). So be on the lookout for those!

-In Krustyland you earn 5 donuts for every 299 games of Sideshow You that you play…playing this game perfectly every 8 hours would result in 5 donuts every 100 days.

-Bonus Level Up, between 1-3 donuts. Bonus level appears when you’ve maxed out available levels and you continue to fill you XP bar. More details on this later.

Aside from going behind a bakery when they close to dig out the donuts that have been trashed for the day, those are all the, non-hacked, free ways (that I know of) to get donuts.

Donuts, Donuts, Donuts….mmmm Donuts

You may be asking ‘What are donuts?’…well they’re sprinkly, frosted, round, fried deliciousness mmm donuts. Oh wait I’m sure you knew that already, you probably want to know what they are in the game.

Well, donuts are the premium currency for TSTO. Using donuts will unlock a whole different way to play the game and they can be used to speed up tasks and purchase premium content. And unlike real life you can have all the donuts you want without worry about your waist size Wink

Question about donuts?  Just ask below Smile

How Do I Get the Lemon Tree?

Not to sour you on the topic (haha) but the lemon tree can ONLY be won in the Mystery Box. (Please know that anyone who claims they can get you a lemon tree can only achieve this by a hack) 

The sweet thing about the lemon tree is it’s another item that provides cash for your town! Every 6 hours the game hands you a basket of lemons and when you click on them they turn to cash!

When the game first came out if you saw a lemon tree in a friends’ town you could steal it from them and plant it in your Springfield. Then, after 24 hours any of your friends could steal it from you!

However, with the October 2012 update the ability to steal the lemon tree was disabled.  EA describes this as a glitch and say that they hope to get this ability restored in the future.

Have you been lucky enough to get the elusive Lemon Tree?
