What do Escalators to Nowhere, 50 foot magnifying glasses, Popsiclestick skyscrapers & benches have in common? No, it’s not that they’re all things to fall off of, it is that they’re all items in TSTO that add to your Conform-O-Meter’s Vanity Rating.
The Conform-O-Meter is an important part of Tapped-Out because it provides you with a bonus boost in your cash and XP from everything you collect in the game. When you achieve a 5-Star Town (it’s max rating) you will receive a 5% bonus on all money and XP collected in your town. If you missed the previous Conform-O-Meter posts check here for the basicsand here for how many points you’ll need to reach 5 stars.
So what other items help add to your Vanity rating? There are actually quite a few. Let’s take a look at how beautifying your Springfield helps your rating… Continue reading →
By now it’s probably safe to say that most Addicts are either neck deep in Level 35 or foaming at the mouth in their journey towards it. While I am happy to see Homer’s archnemises finally in the game… I thought about how easy it is to forget cool characters that we received just a little more than a month ago.
Kamp Krusty is a premium item you can purchase once you reach level 12 in Tapped Out. Once purchased a pretty funny questline is launched involving Bart, Lisa, Milhouse, Martin & of course Krusty! Here’s the walkthrough…
Prologue Auto starts
Marge: Bart drew magic marker tattoos on all of Lisa’s Malibu Stacys. Homer: Heh, heh, that’s a good one. Marge: Homer! Homer: I mean, that’s a good one to remember the next time we rat Bart out to his therapist. Marge: It’s summer and he’s bored. We have to find him something to stimulate his mind and channel his energy. Homer: I know the perfect place! Make Bart Hang Out at the Retirement Castle with Grampa– 12hrs Grampa: I heard you’re going to spend the day here so I thought I’d show you my extensive button collection. This shiny one came off the uniform of a Nazi general. Bart: That’s a nickel. Grampa: Wha? So it is. Well, that’s the whole collect. Bart: Now what’ll we do? Grampa: I know! I’ll show you my extensive button collection! Bart: Ugh…. Bart: Homer, I know that parenting isn’t your “thing”, so I took the liberty of making summer arrangements for me and Lisa at Kamp Krusty. Here’s the info. Homer: My God, what a glossy brochure! I can’t afford a camp that uses this kind of paper stock! Bart: Relax, I convinced them that we were really poor so they gave me financial aid. Homer: How’d you do that? Bart: Showed ‘em your paycheck. We’ll be back in six weeks with sunburns, leather tooling skills and a slew of new curse words! Keep Bart, Lisa & Milhouse free when complete
