Level 33 is here (woohoo!) and with it comes the much anticipated Arnie Pye. I’m sure you’re asking “Should I Spend Donuts On This?” Well before you hit that confirm button, lets break down the Pros and Cons of adding Arnie to your Springfield.
Character: Arnie Pye
Donut Price: 85 donuts
Before you can purchase Arnie Pye you must be Level 23 or higher and you’ll have to have completed the Western Civilization 101 Quest.
Pros:
-Reasonably priced. At 85 donuts he’s the same price as the Rich Texan and less than Dr. Nick.
-Premium tasks that earn 50% more than regular characters
-Voiced
-Comes with a quest line
-Great outdoor quests, in fact all but 1 of his tasks are outdoor tasks.
-Unlocks a 2 day task at Channel 6
-Introduces the first ‘live action; mode of transportation in the game with his helicopter flying around your Springfield. (Perhaps a sign of things to come for TSTO in the future?)
Cons:
– Doesn’t come with a building, and his helicopter only appears during tasks.
-At 85 donuts he’s at the higher end of the premium characters that don’t come with a building.
-After his quest line he has no other interactions with other characters in Springfield.
Final Thought: Personally I think this is a great purchase to make if you’re looking at adding premium characters in the game. He adds an exciting new element to the game (with the helicopter flying) and comes with 5 tasks (4 of which are outside). Arnie is a character worth the donuts!
Arnie Pye doing a Traffic Report over Springfield
Arnie Pye’s Tasks:
| Task | Task Length | Payout | Building |
| Do a Sky Harness Interview | 1hr | $105, 26XP | Outside |
| Take Over as News Anchor | 4hrs | $260, 70XP | Channel 6 |
| Walk Newshound | 8hrs | $420, 105XP | Outside |
| Do a Traffic Report | 12hrs | $600, 150XP | Outside |
| Do an Investigative Report | 24hrs | $1,000 225XP | Outside |
I’ve unlocked him via the year book and I’m stuck on the task sky harness as it’s not an option in his tasks. How do I unlock it? I have channel 6.
Me neither! Post a comment if you find a workaround! Thx!
Also opens a quest with Declan Desmond if you have him.
How can I purchase Arnie?

now that accidentally tapping the copter doesn’t do anything, it may be a buy
Got Arnie pye in my vault 85 donuts and a 20 donut discount, a stonecutter as well, will need to buy this week, that would leave disco stu to complete all the stonecutters, 😁
i dont care what everybody says about this character i need him
i finally have him and ive never felt more alive
it’s almost 2 months later i’m still so happy about this you guys have no idea i 10/10 recommend
Really wish I hadn’t bought him. Have to send him on 24 hour investigative report all the time, but occasionally miss and send him on 1 hour weather report which means he’s constantly flying through everything.
I can’t find Arnie anywhere…
How can I spend donuts on this character (he does not appear in the store).
Could you help me please ?
Thanks

I cannot play the game anymore because every 20 seconds he flies across the screen for 10 seconds. How can I get rid of him?
Don’t send him on his flying tasks
I have Arnie on one of my games and it drives me crazy how often he moves across the screen in the helicopter. I play quickly and I accidentally tap him all the time. He’s more annoying than he’s worth.
Which task(s) involve the helicopter?
1hr and 12hr
Thank you muchly! 🙂
