Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Halloween just left us (about a week ago) and Thanksgiving has already arrived in Springfield! Woohoo, finally a purpose for all that corn Bunny’s been growing!
So login to your game and get the update! More details as we discover them…
PS this should auto start for you 🙂
Update #1:
The Thanksgiving update will auto-start for you with a dialogue between Lisa and Homer. Here’s the dialogue:
Homer: What’s this weird paper stuff in the mailbox?
Lisa: It’s called “mail.”
Homer: You mean they invented a paper version of electronic mail? Science is amazing! Ooh! A big “mail”! Maybe it’s full of more “paper”.
Lisa: It’s a Sacagawea costume I ordered. I saved up all my Sacagawea dollars to pay for it.
Homer: Honey, the dollar doesn’t have Sacawhoever on it. It has George Washington, the inventor of money.
Lisa: I wanted to dress up as Sacagawea to celebrate the rich cultural history of Thanksgiving.
Homer: A white girl dressing up like a native American? I don’t know, that sounds a little racist to me.
Lisa: Just give me the costume.
Once complete you will unlock a FREE limited time Sacagawae costume for Lisa! Woohoo free stuff!
This does come with a questline, which we will cover in a different post. 🙂

Update #2:
Thanksgiving Turbo Tappin’ is live! You can check out the quick walkthrough (dialogue free) here. For those that love full dialogue, don’t worry it’ll be up shortly 🙂
I can’t find the costume in there and I didn’t get any dialogue with the update
I have looked and I can’t find it in there
Hmm it’s possible that it won’t trigger this late into the event. But try some other methods outlined in this post here by Bunny. Many have found those methods to help “trigger” the game to start the dialogue and unlock the skin. Hope it helps! 🙂
Am I to late for this up date I mean I have done the up date but I didn’t get lisas new costume??
It’s still Thanksgiving in Springfield. Have you checked your inventory for the costume? I’ve heard reports of the costume sitting in many Tappers inventory. 🙂
I didn’t get a tribal chief after I finished Lisa’s Thanksgiving quests. I read somewhere that a new character us supposed to unlock. Any advice anyone?
The Chief comes with the donut purchase of the casino. Not with Lisa’s quest line. Sorry.

The new “character” is her Sacagawea outfit.
And a Turkey 🙂
My Sacagawea Lisa is missing; does anyone have any solutions to this? I went online this morning to do a quick search and found this site. I’m a little happy that the costume went missing, this website is awesome. 🙂
Welcome first of all 🙂
Secondly…don’t panic. It’s been effecting a lot of people. So far I’m seeing the “trigger” method helping. Essentially go to another location. Neighbors towns. Krustyland. Etc. Try going to your Krustyland. See if she pulls up there.
Other methods are log out, restart device, log back in. Lemme know if it works.
Thank you! I’ll give the triggers a shot and hopefully that will do the trick.
Welcome 🙂
Keep us updated
It’s November 18 and still can’t get the update. I open the app, a pop-up saying the “gimme gimme gimme” new update. Press the update button and takes me to EA webpage. No update on the AppStore whatsoever. Help fix this issue! Please!
Sorry. Hang in there.
Standard troubleshooting… log out, restart device, log back in. Next…uninstall then reinstall app.
I would suggest contacting EA beyond that. There are many issues with the update. It’s good to alert them of the issue so they can fix it ASAP.
i have the costume in my storage but it says that i need to build the simpsons house i tried moving it(cant store it) and restarting and visiting other springfields but nothin
Hmmmm…tried uninstall then reinstall the app? If none of the standard methods work…Contact EA. If this issue keeps getting worse, they’re going to need specifics from those effected to resolve it.
my simpsons hasn’t updated to thanksgiving it down loaded content and has not got no new features help please.
That happened to my “b” game. Try hard closing the app and restarting it. That’s what worked for me 🙂
I am so EXCITED about all of this. It is all super cool. There’s honestly nothing as exciting as the Mayflower. I mean,its sooo hard to get anything new to help expand the Squidport and they give us this thing? Ridiculous in a good way.
Oh and stop by the forums y’all. I just started the Holiday Buying Guide for Thanksgiving 2013. Starting with the Grumple Parade Balloon. More will come in the following days with the addition of the staff and maybe more by myself since I feel the need to sell the balloons to you separately. 😛

heheh yah…the Should I Buy are coming. 🙂
My Lisa Sacagawea costume is also missing. I tried deleting the game and downloading again, but no luck! Did anyone find a fix?
Hmmm….those are the go to methods. To uninstall and reinstall the app. At this point, I may suggest contacting EA just to ensure they are aware just how wide spread the issue is.
Thank you for your help. Nothing seemed to work, so I’ve emailed EA. Hopefully that will work😬
Is Lisa in Krustyland on a task? I’ve been hearing reports of other tappers having a problem with the costume if Lisa is on a task in Krustyland.
I know this sounds odd…but also try to “trigger” the game. Go to a few neighbors towns. To a few Krustylands. See if that makes any difference at all.
I found it in my storage while lisa was in KL…might check that if ppl still have problems 😉
Phew…sometimes the “triggers” help out.
PARADE BALLOONS !!!
So cool !!
Are you going to break down the Thanksgiving purchases and recommend the best ones to buy? So many that I don’t know what to buy first! A lot of donuts for the Mayflower and casino…wondering if they’re worth it…
Working on all that now…as we speak. “Should I Spend Donuts On”. LOTS of info coming really soon. Just keep an eye out 🙂
Buy the mayflower it is so cool.
Lol…I really think it is gonna be a favorite. 🙂
Is that your SF with the Mayflower pictured? It looks AWESOME! Idk if I have room for it tho, I’d need a water expansion prob. I just bought land for my town hall and I’m going to build that and put parade balloons around it. Very patriotic and parade-y. 🙂
Alunited’s looks cool. I have one in my alt town too. No design as of yet on it. After I finish all the details here I will start playing round with it. 🙂
I updated the game and now i can buy the new decorations but i can’t see the new outfit of lisa: the first mission is of sacagawea and when i tap on go i can see her actions and let her do the action of 1 hour, now that she has finished i can see only the actions of sacagawea and i can’t make the change between lisa and sacagawea to make lisa do one of her actions. Someone else has this problem? How can i solve this? Thanks
Sounds like the typical new update glitches. Try a reset. Log out, restart your device, when it powers back on…log back in and see if that resolved the issue. See if both regular Lisa tasks and the new ones are available.
There is a + and a – that expands and collapses the option to switch skins in the task menu. Maybe yours in just minimised?
It is actually disappearing for a lot. I saw this during Halloween. Like some would only have Witch Marge but no regular Marge. The glitches are so odd. But yes…also the + – can minimize it to just one if you are not keeping an eye out.
no, i’ve already watched and there isn’t + and -. I’ll try the solution of bunnybud. Thank you
Welcome 🙂
The next quest after Lisa sulking is homer hunting a turkey at Cletus farm for 2 hrs
when it auto-updated, lisa was already on another task (babysitting) but the sacagawea lisa still appeared and is on her first task. weird?
Gotta love new update glitches. Lol
what comes after Lisa’s one hour task?
After she sulks? Homer will start into next part of quest.
Done update who starts the event????
It should be an auto-start. If it doesn’t auto start for you try hard closing the app and opening it again (I had to do that on my tablet (B game), but it auto-started on my phone (A game). 🙂
There is nothing new after the updated
There is a bunch of Thanksgiving stuff. 🙂
I check nothing I am going to cry
Yeah.. I got a mini update an hour ago but didnt see anything new. No quest prompted or new items for sale. Im gonna cry if I dont get new stuff NOW (im such a child)
It did auto start just after putting Lisa on a 24 hour task doh
You can follow the tips here to knock her out if needed 🙂
Many thanks it worked I couldn’t work out how to store Lisa or Homer before
Doesn’t work for Lisa or Homer (can’t store the Simpson House)
It will work as long as the task isn’t in the Simpson house. Sorry I should have clarified that. You’ll have to store the building she’s in (as long as it’s not the Simpson house) to knock her out.

My most favourite decoration
Pretty freakin sweet, huh?
Couldn’t say it better. no honestly I couldn’t say it ;p
Man I’d hate to be the one trying to navigate that outta Squidport! Looks really cool though 🙂
Eagerly anticipating your review of the limited time casino
Coming very soon! Just working on the quests now 🙂
