Sunday Night Open Thread

Posted on January 19, 2014 by Alissa | 26 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

With such a great community of Tappers here at Addicts (and we LOVE our fellow Addict Tappers!) we’re rolling out another new feature. Our weekly Sunday Night Open Threads!

Here’s where you can talk about anything you want to talk about…TSTO Related, Simpson’s Related or ANYTHING. Just no Add me requests…those should go here. We’ll give you a few suggestions (like most Sunday’s you can talk about the current episode of the Simpsons) but for the most part you’re free to talk about ANYTHING your little Tapping Fingers desire…just keep it PG.

So…here is your Sunday Night Open Thread. There’s no new episode of the Simpsons on tonight. Instead FOX in the US will be showing the NFL NFC Championship Game between the 49ers and Seahawks (where the winner goes to the Superbowl and plays against the Denver Broncos). So talk about that game, last week’s Simpsons Episode, being annoyed that football is preventing a new episode this week, Level 38 or anything else right here!

Have Fun!

WDTCF – Springfield Grocery Store

Posted on January 19, 2014 by The Wookiee | 3 comments

In life, there are wins and losses. For me, I try to concentrate on all the wins. Did any of you read a little post I wrote last week? I may have mentioned a certain grocery store in it. Sure it was in reference to a Valentine’s Day wish list, but looky here, looky here… BAZINGA… the Springfield Grocery Store!

The Real Housewives Of Springfield: Lindsey Naegle

Posted on January 19, 2014 by Bunny | 2 comments

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.

Should I Spend Donuts On Blue-Haired Lawyer?

Posted on January 18, 2014 by Alissa | 38 comments

Level 38 is here (woohoo!) and EA decided to go all legal on us and rolled out the much anticipated Blue-Haired Lawyer. And with the little Devil Wears Blue quest preview tease we all got, you may be asking “Should I Spend Donuts On THIS?” Well before you hit that confirm button, lets break down the Pros and Cons of adding this Legal Eagle to your Springfield.

Character: Blue-Haired Lawyer
Donut Price: 90 donuts

Pros:
-Reasonably priced. At 90 donuts he’s not the cheapest character in the game BUT he’s the same price as Dr. Nick & within 5 donuts of The Rich Texan and Arnie Pye
-Premium tasks that earn 50% more than regular characters
-Voiced
-Comes with a quest line, that’s 10 parts (so it will take you a little while to complete)
-Has a few outdoor tasks
–~~Unlocks at Level 1 so if you’re a new Tapper this is a great character to add to your game to help you earn more money.~~ This has since been changed, he now unlocks at Level 35
-Unlocks a hilarious new 16-hr task for Mr. Burns (Blue-Haired Lawyer Dino Ride)
-Another Blue-Haired Character to add to your game

Cons:
– Doesn’t come with a building.
-At 90 donuts he’s at the higher end of the premium characters that doesn’t come with a building.
-After his quest line he has no other interactions with other characters in Springfield.

Final Thought:
Personally I purchased the BLH, but i’m a bit of a completest. I enjoyed his questline and the “slip-n-fall” mentality. And I like adding different characters to the game, I really felt like Springfield could use a lawyer to help defend against Wiggum’s crazy arrest record!
However, if your donut budget is limited you might want to hold off on this purchase. BLH is not Limited-Time and will be in TSTO until the game is over, so there is no rush. If you’re thinking about saving your donuts, for now, in anticipation of a Valentine’s Day Event (and those Limited-Time items) that might be your best bet.

Blue Haired Lawyer’s Tasks:

Task	Task Length	Payout	Building
Shop at Kwik-E-Mart	1hr	$105, 26XP	Kwik-E-Mart
Dine at the Truffle	2hrs	$175, 40xp	Gilded Truffle
Visit Jake’s Unisex Hair Palace	4hrs	$260, 70xp	Jake’s Unisex Hair Palace
Look Unimpressed	8hrs	$420, 105xp	Outside Task
Attend Church	12hrs	$600, 150xp	First Church of Springfield
Deliever Lawsuits to Local Businesses	24hrs	$1,000, 225xp	Outside Task

Springfield Showoff- Nice Hedges

Posted on January 17, 2014 by Bunny | 22 comments

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”.

This weeks Edition: HEDGES. I wanted to see just what kind of crazy, unusual, and cool things people have done with a simple hedge. Here is what I found.

TSTO Anonymous… Bridging the Generation Gap?

Posted on January 17, 2014 by The Wookiee | 11 comments

Well hey there Addicts? How’s life? The Christmas event is over and I don’t know about all of you but I’m exhausted. Seems like the perfect moment for another meeting of TSTO Anon.

Ah crud… someone broke the coffee pot. Well, if y’all want to hit Starbucks in the Springfield Mall real quick or head on over to Tsarbucks in Little Ukraine, I completely understand. I can wait…. Continue reading →

Level 38 Glitch Report: Level Rollback

Posted on January 17, 2014 by Alissa | 48 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Well I can’t say we didn’t expect it…although we were hoping it wouldn’t happen…Level 38, like all the updates before, has caused some Tappers games to go all Glitchy! This is probably one of our least favorite parts about doing this blog. We hate when you guys have issues with your games and they don’t cooperate so you can enjoy all the new goodies with the new update.

For Level 38, like Level 37, the most common Glitch occurring (and what we’re seeing most often in the comments) is the “Rollback Glitch”. This is where you’re at Level 38, you’ve updated and maybe purchased some items. Then you leave you game and when you return…Level 38 is gone! Your new items…gone. Your donuts (if you spent them)….gone. And it says you’re now on Level 37 (or lower)! What is a Tapper to do?! Continue reading →

WDTCF – Judge Roy Snyder

Posted on January 17, 2014 by The Wookiee | 11 comments

Woohoo! Level 38! You know what that means… more WDTCF action for you to enjoy. To start off all the madness I’m sure I’ll bring to the table, I figured we’d go with Judge Roy Snyder. He’s the kind of guy who would start off stern and Jewish only to rediscover himself as a lenient and African American judge. What do you mean that makes no sense? Have YOU found the Simpson’s recreation room lately?

Turbo Tappin’ Premium: The Blue Haired Lawyer

Posted on January 17, 2014 by Alissa | 10 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Back with another edition of Addicts Turbo Tappin’ the update, the quick walkthrough that’s so fast & so complete it’s copy and pasted by blogs everywhere! Good thing this is Turbo Tappin’ the Premium Blue Haired Lawyer, maybe we should get him on the case huh? (ok not all blogs…BUT there are some and you know who you are. But don’t worry, to me copy and paste is the sincerest form of flattery, so I won’t send BHL after you…yet 🙂 )

Anywho let’s get on with what this post is about…the Blue Haired Lawyer! Just what Springfield needs a Lawyer. I guess the people of Springfield were getting fed up with Wiggum when he sent them all to jail back during Level 33!

The Blue Haired Lawyer is new to Level 38 BUT only level 1 is required to purchase him. So if you’re a lower level Tapper still trying to hit Level 38 you can still add a little legal fun to your Springfield!

The Devil Wears Blue quest is 10 parts and has some great humor in it (including a really funny task in the last part), and it’s teased to ALL players in part 1. Yes, EA is now giving players a “Freeview” of the premium quests (well at least for this one) and showing you what Part 1 of the questline looks like…in (my guess) an effort to get you to want to know what happens next and buy the Blue Haired Lawyer. Like going to the movies and watching the previews….

Well I’ve rambled on long enough….let’s get to Turbo Tappin’ shall we?
