Hello Fellow Tapped Out Addicts!
When Levels 30, 31, & 33 were introduced into TSTO fellow Tappers saw, less than regular, Simpsons characters unlocked and they they were all voiced (Eddie, Lou, Wolfcastle, and even Herman!) But, Mrs. Krabappel, Martin and Milhouse are all regular characters on the Simpsons, yet their voice is strangely absent from The Simpsons Tapped Out. Why is that?
In all honesty? I don’t really know but I’m sure it has a lot to do with royalties and licensing. Here’s what I do know, so far the only characters in the game that are voiced are those that are voiced by the 6 lead Simpsons actors – Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, Yeardley Smith, Hank Azaria, and Harry Shearer.
Wonder what that means for future characters added to Tapped Out? Well here’s a list of characters that are voiced by the main actors. With this list we should be able to figure out which future characters are likely to have a voice and which ones will be permanently on mute!

So based on this list you’ll see that Milhouse, Mrs. Krabappel, Agnes Skinner, Hank Scorpio, Fat Tony, Rod Flanders and Martin are not voiced by a main actor and are also not voiced in the game.
Also, you’ll see that there are not a lot of female characters voiced by main characters (aside from the Bouvier family) this could potentially be a reason why there haven’t been many female additions to the game recently. Of course speculation would be…maybe EA is trying to work out a deal with the supporting actors to have those characters voiced?
Here’s hoping, because this game is way more fun when you have a sarcastic comment coming back at you from a character you just tapped on!
