Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Thanksgiving has arrived in Springfield! This Limited-Time event will only be around a short while (we’re guessing it’ll be gone by December 1st), so make sure you get those Limited-Time decorations and buildings while they’re still around! For a little extra incentive let’s take a look at how the new additions to Tapped Out will impact your Conform-O-Meter.
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 basics and here for how many points you’ll need to reach 5 stars.
While the Thanksgiving event brought no changes to the Conform-O-Meter requirements, it did bring us a ton of new items to add to our Springfield. Let’s take a look at how all of the new “goodies” impact our rating:
| Item | Cost | Category | Points | New/Returning |
| Caesar’s Pow-Wow Indian Casino | 150 Donuts | Consumerism | 10 | New |
| Caesar’s Pow-Wow Sign | 40 Donuts | Vanity | 400 | New |
| Mayflower* | 100 Donuts | Vanity | 1,000 | New |
| Rusty Balloon | $5,400 | Vanity | 440 | New |
| Poochie Balloon | $20,000 | Vanity | 870 | New |
| Stampy Balloon | 40 Donuts | Vanity | 400 | New |
| Grumple Balloon | 25 Donuts | Vanity | 250 | New |
| Scratchy Balloon | $1,000 | Vanity | 180 | Returning |
| Blinky Balloon | $16,500 | Vanity | 790 | Returning |
| Santa’s Little Helper Balloon | $30,000 | Vanity | 1,070 | Returning |
| Snowball 2 Balloon | 15 Donuts | Vanity | 200 | Returning |
| Itchy Balloon | 30 Donuts | Vanity | 400 | Returning |
*Note: We believe the Mayflower is not a limited-time item.
Because it is a very decoration heavy event, just about every item impacts your vanity rating. However, the Indian Casino will impact your Consumerism Rating (one of the hardest to max out in the game). It’s always nice to have a NEW building to impact Consumerism!
Which Thanksgiving items have you purchased? Let us know in the comments below or post a photo to our Flickr photo stream!
I think your table is messed up in the cost column. Free with ray gun? 8000 goo?
Whoops, all fixed now! Thanks for pointing it out! 🙂
Is there a post on what to tap in your friends neighbourhoods? Whats the logic behind squidport, crop, channel 6 etc?

Hope that helps answer your question
When I spray paint my neighbor-eenos buildings, does it hurt me and my ratings? I gotta know!
It can effect your righteousness rating. It helps if you back out of the town and return to clean it up again. To combat this…I just put up a bunch of training walls. They have kept it at a 5 constantly. Even if I miss Sideshow Bob. Lol 🙂
Unfortunately, I’m only lev 30, so no training walls yet…I guess I’ll stop spray painting them! If I collect money instead (or tickets in KL) will that affect the meter?
Well hurry up. Lol 😛
Best thing to get is their squidport tile, crop, channel 6…or other slower generating buildings. Or tickets if you need them. 🙂
Strangely… the righteous one is the most fluctuating one of them all. It wont really matter til you get those walls. It can be at 5 then drop to 1 in an instant
