SPOOKY… EA ACTUALLY LISTENED TO US! (NEW LAND PLUS MORE!!!)

Most things in life that you think are deja vu are just coincidences or luck (or the computers changing something in The Matrix), but every once in a while in the life of an Addict, it feels like our pusher (aka EA) is actually listening to us.

So cool that we got more land with this update. It unlocks after you are done building the Gypsy Fortune Teller Shop as well as adding Lions, Tigers and Bears… Oh My. What’s that Alissa the Amazing? Oh, we’re not talking about current Happy Meal toys? Sorry folks, apparently it’s Ghost, Gremlins and Goo… Oh My! My bad.

I talked a little about the Gremlin here. Add to the 3 Gs, the option of haunting buildings and possessing characters in your neighbor’s town. One word… INCREDIBLE!

Here’s a little chart I came up with to help you with the new land prices for our new present. As someone who was full up on land other than my 2D palette, this addition was so cool. It gave me space for adding decorations temporarily without giving up my 2D Addiction. Can you say Redesign Mark 5? If the image seems tiny… just click on the image and it gets bigger. (Apologies in advance if that sounds dirty.)

NEW LAND

In addition to more land, we actually got back the following items from last year’s Halloween update:

Jack-o-Lantern

Cauldron with Witch Marge Skin (60 Donuts)

Spooky Tree

Dead Tree

Pumpkin Patch

image

Mausoleum (60 Donuts)

Don’t forget it looks like the Crashed UFO will be back with Kodos. Who has two furry thumbs and can’t mask his excitement? This guy!

For the lucky few that already had previous decorations from last year’s Halloween Update… our old decs started immediately giving us ghosts!

Lastly, the Trick or Treat Tasks are back from last year with the same characters (Bart, Lisa, Milhouse, Martin, Nelson and Witch Marge. From what I’ve seen so far, Marge, Homer & Burns all have Halloween GOO Tasks! STay tuned for more info on taks later! Happy Spooky Tapping Addicts! Wookiee out!

Keep Your Friends Close…

This was originally a thread for the Halloween Update and for quick use of Gooey Neighbors….below is a list of prizes that were unlocked with the 2013 Halloween Event:

GOO list

Ghosts, Gremlins & GOO…Oh My!

For those of you around for Whacking Day, the thought of collecting items to win prizes may either bring up fond memories or send you screaming for the hills!  But don’t worry, this time around the Addicts team is here to help!  We’ve got you covered, so that plus the more than a month you have to play the update should help you achieve all of the goals!  Let’s get right to it by breaking down the “game inside the game”.

Just call yourself the new Ghostbuster, because that’s what the Simpsons are asking you to do here!  The object is to “Pop” (EA wouldn’t dare use “whack” and stir up those flashbacks!) the Ghosts to collect their GOO.  GOO is the new in-game currency for special Halloween items.  Occasionally a Ghost will spill out a Gremlin (they’re attracted to GOO after all)  when you pop them.  Gremlins are collected to put in your friend’s towns , they’ll help you collect more GOO (since Gremlins are attracted to GOO).  Confused yet?  Don’t be…let’s break it all down step by step Continue reading

Cue the Spooky Music and see the forest through the trees…

“When hinges creak, in doorless chambers. And strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls. Whenever candlelights flicker, where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror, with ghoulish delight!”

“Your cadaverous pallour, betrays an aura of foreboding, almost as though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis. Is this Halloween Event actually upon us? Or is it your imagination, hmmmmmm?? And consider this dismaying observation, this update came with no spoilers and no end date in sight. Which offers you this chilling challenge, to find A WAY (TO ROCK) OUT! HAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!! Of course, there’s always my way…”
