The Real Housewives Of Springfield: Luann Van Houten

Welcome Addicts to a new addition to our posts. In this little game of ours, we tend to forget those characters that are few and far between. We get so involved in the game, so into the latest events…that we sometimes forget to pay attention to the little things. The little details that make the Springfield world go around. The thing that seems to be really lacking/missing from Springfield.

What exactly is it I am going on about? What is so terribly important to the game that would draw such attention. WOMEN OF COURSE! To be a bit more specific, The Real Housewives of Springfield (and maybe a mistress or 3. Gotta have the drama aspect in any series, right?).

So keep your eyes on our blog as we take you on a new journey into the lives of each of the women currently and NOT currently available in the game.

Weekend Update: January 19th – 25th

Bunny here hopping around the east coast. Alissa thinks she can keep me in the basement…pssssh. This Bunny is just too quick. Also that one time where I spent a bit in the joint for lock picking…I mean… Ummmm… where was I?

So another week has just blazed on by, and I have got absolutely nothing done. I am sitting here staring at the computer screen and my mind is completely blank. (Nothing new, right?)

Springfield Showoff- Show Me…Level 38!

As we sit here frakkin files, pulling pics, and typing a million words a minute to get our readers the latest updates and information…we find ourselves sometimes forgetting to stop and enjoy our own games. More so our neighboreenos. So we try to make it a point to hop in n out of the towns now and then to see what cool things YOU are up to.

So we have decided we want to continue to focus more attention (as if we don’t already 😛 ) on YOU…our readers. Time to time we will be peaking into your towns, checking our Flickr, and also the posts in the comments below to see what cool ideas and designs YOU have come up with to make your towns unique and…well…YOU.

So here is YOUR chance to show off all your hard work, time, donuts & in game cash spent. Send us your work, no matter how big or small. Brag about it to the world. We want you to. (That and Bunny loves to see other designs and get inspiration from it.) Then keep your eyes posted to Addicts to see if YOU end up on our “SPRINGFIELD SHOWOFF”.

Forget the Wookiee… Here’s What the Addicts Want

Well hello there Addicts!  It’s Friday here on the site (TGIF, right?) and that usually means it’s time for another What a Wookiee Wants.  For today, what I want is to share what other Addicts on the site want.  This site really is about the readers and there’s no better way to show this then to share some Tapaholic Requesterinos to EA.  We have a whole page dedicated to this actually and there’s even a section of the TSTOAddicts Forum for it too.

I broke up all the awesome things folks came up with into buildings, characters, decorations, tasks and gameplay.  If multiple tapperinos requested the item, both were given credit.  If I forgot someone, I apologize.  Well, enough words from me…

PAY ATTENTION EA… this is what your tappers want:

Where Did THAT Come From – The Lemon Tree

Hey hey hey!  Wookiee back with another WDTCF for your enjoyment.  I still have a broken game but that’s not gonna stop me from writing for my favorite readers.  Things can’t always go your way and you know what they say…

“When life gives ya lemons, make lemonade.”

How many times have you heard this ridiculous saying?  Who they heck are THEY anyways?  Just today, my teenage Ewok came home and told me this.  She didn’t have an answer for me when I asked what to do when life gives me poop. Ah teenagers, they think they’re so wise.

Anywho… I find inspiration in so many little things and decided it was time to do a WDTCF for the Lemon Tree in our TSTO towns.

WDTCF – Springfield Courthouse

Wookieelog… Julian Date 023…. today’s mission from Captain Alissa to seek out the last Level 38 item and write a Where Did THAT come from for it.  Danger is imminent and the subject’s originality may be elusive but failure is not an option. Scanning content for freemium building (beep boop beep)…. (blip beep blip)…. (leave a message at the beep)…..

Ah!  Here it is!  The Springfield Courthouse… an item that’s been coveted by tappers for almost a year and its itinerant dweller… Judge Roy Snyder.  What to say about this beautiful piece of architecture?  Well, click more if you’d like to see my ramblings on it.

3D 101: The Mega Prison

What’s up Addicterinos?  How’s Level 38 treating you?  Feeling burdened by all the “legal” stuff that came with it?  Yeah… me neither.

Love them or hate them, every country has its very own Legal/Justice system and it really should be no surprise that our very own Springfield is no exception. Sure there may be only 3 cops, one lawyer and one judge right now, but there are no fewer than 6 characters that can spend time in jail or prison.  With that ratio, I’d could see the potential for Springfield’s Justice System to become overburdened and I thought I’d take action.  You’ve probably seen this before, but here’s my Springfield Mega Prison….

mouthsofaddictscguy3

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Welcome to another edition of From the Mouths of Addicts, where YOU get to sound off on anything and everything in the world of Tapped Out!  This week’s post comes to us from one of our favorite Addicts, and frequent commenter, CGuy!  It’s CGuy’s hilarious “on the scene” reports while he was in the 2 day limbo between the Christmas removal update and Level 38.  Enjoy it my friends…I know I did!

 

NON-UPDATER UPDATE – Hour 23 (ish)
Well, CguyField is still in the grip of the Polar Vortex. Why do I put my characters through this? After all, I have had all the prizes on the prize wheel for weeks. Maybe I am doing this just to help my poor unfortunate neighboreenos! Yea, that’s it! Continue reading
