Happy Turkey Day Tappers!
We’ve already brought you the Turbo Tappin’ version of the Thanksgiving Event and now it’s time for the full dialogue walkthrough!
The walkthrough starts with the unlocking of Lisa’s Sacagawea costume and continues with Lisa’s quest for a Turkeyless Thanksgiving! Some really funny moments in this quest, hope you all enjoy it!
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.
New Costume Unlock!
After tapping on Sacagawea Lisa
Lisa will have to be free at this point in order to start the main quest. Lisa starts the next part. Again just dialogue, no actual quests just yet. Continue reading

Thanksgiving has arrived in Springfield! But, with all of the new Thanksgiving premium items that are limited-time it may be overwhelming trying to decide which items to buy and what to pass on. With that limited-time label on items I know it can be tempting to just buy everything you can. But, have no fear! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth your donuts & what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add the Indian Casino to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button, let’s break down the Pros and Cons of adding this combo to your Springfield.
Character & Building: Tribal Chief & Caesar’s Pow-Wow Indian Casino
Donut Price: 150 donuts
Pros:
-Comes with it’s own 10 part questline
-Adds 10 points to your consumerism rating
-Chief will earn premium rates in cash and XP for all jobs
-Something new and different to add to your Springfield
-Voiced, but not really. Mostly just “hmm” and grunts.
-Chief will use the Casino for tasks once the main quest is complete
-Building makes Slot Machine Noises when tapped
Cons:
-Pricey. At 150 donuts he’s not the most expensive character and building combo (heck Disco Stu was 180 donuts), but it’s still a high price.
-No character interaction after main questline is complete
Final Thought:
Personally, I think the Indian Casino is a good buy. It’s got a lot of features to it that make it a nice addition to Springfield AND it’s something different in your town (makes a nice addition along the beach front). If you have the donuts I say go for it, but if you’re a little hesitate I can understand you wanting to wait just a bit. Just remember this is a LIMITED-TIME item and once it’s gone, it’s gone…so be sure to get it before the event is over if you’re thinking about it.
Tribal Chief’s Tasks
| Task | Task Length | Payout | Building |
| Shop at Kwik-E-Mart | 1hr | $105, 26xp | Kwik-E-Mart |
| Attend a Corporate Meeting | 4hrs | $260, 70xp | Pow-Wow Casino |
| Embark on a Vision Quest | 8hrs | $420, 105xp | Pow-Wow Casino |
| Learn about Springfield’s Culture | 12hrs | $600, 150xp | Simpson House |
| Hand Out Expired Vouchers | 24hrs | $1,000, 225xp | Outside |

This was originally posted back in early September 2013 but we thought some of the newer Tappers joining after the Halloween Update could use some insight on just how to build a better Springfield.
Envious of your friend’s Springfield’s? Wish your Springfield looked as cool as theirs? Well, we’re in-between updates right now, so while there is a little lull in the game why not consider reworking your town to build a better Springfield?!
Here’s the Addict’s Guide to Building a Better Springfield:
It’s All Good In The Hood: Consider The Neighborhood
House farming does have its perks, if you do it right. While I’m not a house farmer myself (come on EA give us more houses!) I do have neighbors who are. When done right house farming can make your Springfield look like it has nice neighborhoods where people would want to live. Don’t just stick houses here and there around Springfield, and don’t stack them all up on top of each other either. Consider your placement of each house, and how it will fit in a neighborhood setting.
Tip: Keep all of the ‘special houses’ together (Flanders, Simpsons, Wiggum, Skinner, etc) and keep the other houses together, in multiple number (Purple House, White House, Brown House, etc).
Location Location Location: Consider What Your Central Springfield Is
Your Central Springfield is the part of your Springfield that shows up the moment you and your friends open your town. First impressions are everything, so you want to have a really great Central Springfield that will make your neighbors want to look for more! If you don’t have an exciting Central Springfield your friends might not get excited to see the rest.
Tip: Some people like to put the Simpson’s house in the center of their Springfield, while others prefer a part or Town Hall. Try to put your best decorated building/decoration in your Central Springfield and keep up with it. You really want something that’s going to wow your friends!
Hardscape/Landscape: Consider Your Landscaping
Try to landscape each building. Think about how it would look in real life and be creative!
Tip: Check our our 2D design page for more ideas!
What’s In A Theme: Consider A Theme for Each Building
Think: ‘If this building existed in real life, what would it look like” and try to create a theme around that thought. For example, Kamp Krusty would be in the woods surrounded by trees, water, and maybe some cabins. So design your Kamp Krusty area to include a lot of trees and shrubs, a river or lake, and maybe through in some Brown houses for the cabin look!
Tip: Keep up with the theme you’ve created for each building. Landscape when you can, and try to keep it in line with your design plan.
Park It: Consider Building A Park
Try and think outside the box here. Don’t just stick use buildings everywhere to take up space. Utilize the decorations available and make a park. Use the table, gazebo, swing set, monkey bars and all possible trees and other forms of flowers and greenery to create a dedicated Springfield Park. Hey EA even gives you a Springfield Park sign to help make it happen!
Tip: Keep a theme to your park, and dedicate areas of it for specific things. For example keep the Monkey Bars, Swing Set, and Seesaw together to create a play area of your park!
Be A Simpsons Addict: Consider How Springfield Would Look
Follow The Simpsons a little bit and try setting your Springfield like it would look on the show! It’s fun to see how things are on the Simpsons in relation to where you put them in your Springfield!
