Dear EA… A Valentine’s wish list from the TSTO Addicts

Hey hey hey! How’s everyone doing? So it’s Valentine’s Day and I hope it’s a great one for all of you Addicts. In the spirit of love and giving, I figured it might be time to post up some more requesterinos from all of you.

On 25 Jan 14 we threw up quite a list but apparently, you creative folks had even more ideas. In fact, 57 comments which made me smile big. Over at the Tapaholic Requesterinos to EA, there were 15 more. Wowza, can you say “EA should just make us their brain trust?”

Before the list starts, I think it’s important to note a couple tappers who got their suggestions in the game. Runicgem got his wish of Shauna returning.  Hey Silverdog77, happy some more limited-time stuff came back?  Fusionwerks wanted a way to organize their friends list.  Well, not the same but it is alphabetized so I count that as a win.  I’m not sure if OSebhlen was talking about gaudy pink fences when they asked for different fences but sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for.  Mummie wanted an easy way to delete inactive players.  I think we all need to send her roses or chocolate for hooking us up.

Is EA listening to us?  I know most of us have had a complaint or two while playing but I like to think that our positive suggestions are a breath of fresh air for EA. We’re like TSTO Ghandi and trying to be the change we want to see in our digital world.

First off, I know most of you were thinking it but SquareBiz79 voiced that we need MORE LAND.  This especially would be important if EA keeps listening to all us crazies.  The list is broke down into buildings, characters, decorations, tasks, skins and gameplay.  Anything requested on the previous post is in red.

  1. I would love to see the Duff Party Bus made available for every Event!

  2. Rock n Roll fantasy camp with all the musicians( Keith Richards, Mick Jagged, Mr. Seltzer, etc. )

  3. More ways to get free donuts.

  4. I’ve got a couple of random wishes, first, it’s really mundane, but I don’t see why the ability to add water to kl was not enabled, I want me a lake in krustyland! Especially since I’m not a premium player and there isn’t that much to fill up the land once it’s all unlocked. Second, I’ve always really wanted Chester Lampwick’s solid gold house, maybe coz it’s one of my fav episodes, I don’t know, but I think it would look cool amongst the other mansions (wouldn’t mind Lester and Eliza either 😀 ).

  5. How about Herbert Powell (Homer’s brother), the Powell Mansion, and best of all the ugly car Homer designed that play LA Cucaracchia?

  6. Üter Zörker would also be a funny character but no one knows him heck I like him when I was a kid and I have to google him just to find his name xD

  7. Love the site, long-time reader, first time poster.

    Here’s one for general gameplay. How about more categories for the building option? Making my town look nice with decorations is fun, but it’s not fun having to “scroll” all the way back for a tree, scroll to the middle for a bench, or all the way forward (past all the squidport stuff, cause let’s face it, donuts are precious!) for stop signs and Springfield park stuff. So a quicker way to build, like a copy/paste thing or more categories for quicker selection.

    Oh yeah, and Herb Powell (Simpson).

  8. more cowbells…

  9. I would also like Jacqueline Bouvier and Ms. Hoover. I wish we would have received the BSharps Beatles skins in honor of the 50th anniversary of the US visit. I know it was a CBS thing but come on three of the Beatles were on the show.

  10. Since there is a ice arena I would like hockey skins for the kids, Wiggum and Apu. I also want more happening at Krustyland. Maybe a one week vacation where all the characters go there. I rarely visit my Krustyland.

  11. I’d love to see my inventory organized differently. Maybe Bunny knows a magic formula but I just can’t figure it out! Same goes for decorations available to purchase. Alphabet, categorized by plants & trees / items, priced lowest to highest. Something!

  12. can you not make the website links you deleted as drop down menus under the current links? I know it makes sense to minimize the clutter on top, though now you have to click through several pages to find specific areas of the site.

  13. How about a rake decoration that doubles as a sort of mouse trap to auto tap Sideshow Bob when shows up in your town? After a year of playing it has become a pain to search out Bob in a town with all the land unlocked.

  14. I want John, and one of his task has to have him saying, “Zzzzzzzzzzap.”

  15. I want a Futurama crossover character! BRING ME BENDER RODRIGUEZ, EA!

  16. Spider pig and snowball 2!!
    (Non playable)

  17. 1. Stampy the Elephant with the Springfield Animal Refuge
    Tasks, any or all of:
    Eat peanuts at moes
    Eat Bart at treehouse (with or without Bart)
    Give mr burns a ride
    Stomp/stampede
    Destroy fences. Requires fence
    Attack/headbutt other elephants at refuge
    Scare other pets (trumpet) at simpsons house
    rescue barney (requires barney and tar pits)
    destroy arboretum/trees
    give kids a ride (all kid characters)
    2. standard task lengths for all characters

  18. Very happy to have Shauna! So many wonderful wishes that came true! I have no doubt EA is listening and so many great ideas! I hope thoses wishes come true!

  19. I NEED Manjula. She is such an interesting charater, Apu has to feed all those octuplets all by herself! So sad!

  20. A rating system or simple communication between friends.
    A nighttime…what good are street lamps and christmas lights you can’t see?
    A football field for the high school…Bunny’s is awesome but who’s got that much room?
    Some action in the water…fishing, jetskiing, swimming, etc.
    Why no Elvis in Springfield?
    A paid version of the game not requiring donuts as money.
    Fuse Futurama with the game…jus sayn.
    Bikini Bottom town builder…

  21. I wish they would do a level update that took place in the future, like some of their best episodes. It could go back to normal after the tasks were done, but they could give us Lisa in college or as president, cab driver Quimby, or Bart as a ne’er do well, or supreme court justice!

  22. Here is my late wish list and ideas as I missed posting them for the list.

    Simpsons Car,
    Their couch,
    Frinks Time Machine car,

    Bender from the future episodes,
    All the kids havering Grown up versions,
    DiaBetty,
    Radioactive Man Homer
    Fallout Boy Milhouse,
    Treehouse of Horror Blob Homer
    Treehouse of Horror Jerry Lewis as Frinks Father,

    How about some famous faces.
    Leonard Nimoy,
    Adam West,
    Mark Hammil,
    Eartha Kitt
    Eric Idle,
    Dr Phil,
    Stan Lee,

    More interactions between married and friend characters.

    And voices for all the Silent characters!

    That’s all I can think of right now, the list was longer but got lost when I logged in to post it and had to retype it from scratch.

    • I just remembered a few more,
      Linda and Paul Mcartney,
      Rodney Dangerfield as Monty Burns Son.

      Extreme future Monty Burns with robot body and Smithers with a Teddybear Body, ( I think that’s how they were, haven’t seen that episode since it was first broadcast)

      Rock N’ roll Homer,
      The Rock N Roll Car Homer stole when he was a rock star.
      And Cannon Ball Homer with a cannon he can get shot with.

      The Lochness Monster!

      High school and kid versions of Homer, Marge, Barny, Lenny, Carl,
      Future versions of all the houses,

      And how about a Space Shuttle with Spacesuit Homer and Buzz Aldren… And an “In Rod We Trust!” Quest!

  23. Springfield gorge

  24. What about a soldier skinner skin.

  25. Tiki huts & a new fun-sized hipster tech teacher!

  26. Would also like 2 see more sporting venues. And the opra house that was converted in2 a jail

  27. I NEED all characters to have tasks of the same length. Tatum and his lack of one hour task drives me mad when everyone else is doing one hour tasks. If most characters have a task of a certain length then all characters should have a task that length.
    Also it would be awesome to have more tasks so that tasks that were only available as part of a quest became permanently available for that character after you’ve done the quest, even if that means multiple tasks that are the same length- this would mean unused buildings particularly squidport buildings would get used a lot more

  28. How about a way of selling/getting rid of stuff we’ve gotten multiples of and we don’t want or need. Trading possibly???

    • I adore the idea of trading. I want MORE propane tanks for my 2D art. Lol

      • You’re still working on a friday night after such a big day??? Go have a drink or see a movie…get out of your hole…then you can have all my propane tanks…well, the empty ones. Hope you at least ate your carrots..!!!

        • Meh…nothing else to do. No where to go. No one to go with. Who wants to wander around alone outside when everyone else is out snuggling with someone else. A bit awkward.

          Thanks for the propane tanks. I still have a couple mini carrots left. 😉

      • What happened to the website…links are missing now while viewing with my new kfhd…was going to leave Wookie a question…
        No one to go with??? C’mon girl, rock stars have tons of peeps and homeys…

        • Missing links? I will have to go check the theory of evolution chart on that one. 😉

          Lol. All my friends are out on “dates”. I guess I have been traveling too much these last few months. People I would like to hang out with are busy elsewhere. Oh well, just another day. 😉

        • Not seeing any issues from my end. What links may I ask?

      • At the top of the homepage there have always been links, bold text topics, shortcutting to those other areas like walkthroughs and FAQs…there’s only nine there now…there were many more…prolly just me…I was on a first gen kindlefire.
        Took my dog out to make yellow snow…it was exhilarating…yeah…haven’t used that word in awhile…lol

        • Lol @ yellow snow.

          We minimized the links. Way too many clogging up the area. All the info is still in there. Just neat and tidy now. 😉

          What ones were you looking for? We also added a “search” option. Just put in a word or few of what you’re looking for and it will bring up all the posts here with that info. Much like a Google search.

      • Actually I just wanted to ask Wookie if he saw the movie, “Fanboys” …story about StarWars fans sneaking into Lucas’ ranch to see Episode 1 before it’s premiere…was gonna put it under the “questions” topic…

        • I have absolutely seen the movie, own it and love it. While my fanboy friends and I have never gone that far, we have discussed the treasures at “the Ranch”. I was one of the proud few that waited a long time in line for Episode 1’s premiere. Probably also why that movie is still special to me.

  29. Please I need friends. Richardstan601

    Please please

  30. Homer skins: Mr Sparkle & Radioactive Man

    Kudos to our innovators/prognosticators!
