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 week, I decided to be showcasing YOUR images of “Death” type items. Like Cemeteries, Graveyards, Burial Grounds, and Caskets. Anything and everything you got. I asked you to SHOW ME!!! And show me you most certainly did. 🙂
Here are the results…
aabend380 looks to be killing off their clientale at Kwik-E-Mart and Gulp n Blow. That or the UNdead really like dead animal meat and squishees.
AC1977b looks like Homer had one too many Tomacco plants. That or Cletus’ shot him for trespassing.
AT had a lil story to go with theirs…
“The Simsons family, including pets and friend, join Homer at the
nuclear power plant. Unfortunately, someone erected a giant magnifying
glass that focused the sun’s rays at one of the cooling towers. The
cooling tower now unable to cool down the nuclear core. The power
plant overheated and causes a meltdown. An evacution is called. The
Simpsons rush toward one nuclear fallout shelter near the water only
to find it out of order. Rushing to the other fallout shelter, but
they are unable to make it to safety and they succumb to the
radiation.
Who would build a magnifying glass here? Was it an accident? Was it on
purpose? Who? Kang? Kodos? Rusty?
Ironically, at the Squidport docks, a Greenpeace bost was fueling up
with fossil fuels while on route to protest the nuclear power plant”
Anonymous sent this in. I think Kent really likes it when he is the ONLY one talking.
Bandango Phillips put the Wailing Wall in a cool place that makes it look like the stairs from the burial ground lead right to it.
BraveElfgirl1994 made a cool lil cemetery by the Church and has Burns Coffin on display right by the entrance to the Mansion.
bsomers created a lil grave like area near the pumpkin house.
Capcitygoofball created a nice lil cemetery area close to the Gypsy. That should help with her business. Looks like the Witch finally got to Homer.
ctwardo has a mix of 2D art cross and a park like theme for their cemetery. I like the flowers and broken windows as grave markers. Looks like Marge may be putting another family member to rest. Lol.
Cybersilly has quite the “death” area in his town. Also looks like his burial grounds may not just be for humans. 😉
DaPimp has a spooky grave forest area across the path from his pumpkin patch. Nicely located by Calmwood. Lol.
freaknstein8 looks to have turned the entrance to the church into a portal to the other side instead. His park is for the UNdead.
imodat has made a nice lil area for people to mourn the dead in their town. Maybe Ned is on his way to try and catch Maude?
j reiss put quite the cemetery layout behind Calmwood.
joooodah took this one during the Halloween event. Gives it even more of a spooky feel to it. Lol. Nice use of 3D art.
Julie created a cool spooky death area using a lot of items we got around the Halloween 2012 and 2013 events.
Nikki G has made a “hellish” area in their town. Cool mix of all things evil.
OSebhlen has two really cool areas for burial in their town. A mix of the Wailing walls in one and the cemeteries in the other.
runicgem used some pretty cool 3D art to create their Death areas. Looks like a lot of Homer clones died by the prison too.
saramary3 made cool 3D steps up to her burial ground and a mix of Heaven and Hell all around.
silverdog77 looks to have ground zero for the next Zombie Apocalypse. Hope you got your Twinkies stashed away.
srfth has a lot going on in their cemetery areas. I wonder how those pumpkins taste. Or are they the ones that come to life?
stevecttw has had quite some fun with all things “deathly” in their town. Great mixes of 3D art, Heaven n Hell, Flander’s worst nightmare, and then…well looks like they are setting up the rest of the town to join them too.
WalkerMerle has strategically placed their items around town. The Cremo Bot by Frinks (it is where I put mine too. Lol.) Homer buried at Duff, as he would love it. Burns final resting or NOT resting place.
Zague made a cool path running through their cemeteries. Looks like a cozy lil resting place.
And once again…my Deathy Hallow areas I am still reworking.
Homers Home Sweet Home.
Halloween area w/graveyards and tombs.
Indian Burial Grounds behind the Casino

HOPPY Tappin’
~Bunny
@Evilkitten…thank you, that was really cool…of course I’m just reading it so I found another way of falling asleep…but I ain’t admitting it here…;)
Yea they have anonymous classes for those types of confessions… And I’m always late to the party so I figured you wouldn’t have even seen it LOL
Amaizing! I love these showoffs! So many cool ideas out there 🙂
Whoo-hoo!
Thanks for puttin’ mine in there. I really like looking at all the designs that people come up with. I hate that they’re getting obscured by the ads, though.
Something wordpress is testing. Hang in there. We’re working on it. In the mean time click on the upper portion of the photo and it’ll open it into a new window.
I love Joooodah’s….very cool, and i like cohesive areas in a town….
I like WalkerMerle (an fellow walking dead fan? ) funny idea of burying Homer at the Duff brewery!
I also like Imodat, ctwardo and Zague and Freaknstein8 entrance to the church, a portal to the other side is cool!!!
GO TEAM BLUE!!!
Indeed!
It would be nice if the game had some way of showing your ENTIRE Springfield all at once so we could take screen shots.
There’s a way of stitching mutiple screenshots…Bunny did a blog about it or something…at the time I didn’t know how to do them so I didn’t pay attention… 🙂
THIS lengthy one? Lol 😛
How are you by the way…??? Celebrated my father’s 79th birthday today…big lunch after church… yeah, church…after lastnight…*shakes head* lol 🙂
Thanks for the shout out! Of course I just realized that I forgot about the wall of souls outside the power plant for Burns’s goo supply! 😝 Oh well! Loved seeing the other ideas too, lots of creativity!
Thanks for showing off mine, can’t hold a candle to most of the other awesome pictures, though. And it is ‘her’ not ‘his’ – thought the Lisa-avatar might have given that away already 😉
On an unrelated note: I got a basket today and placed it, and there was an egg in it already! Anyone else had this happen? I am thinking maybe EA tries to make up for the basket glitch?
Sorry about that. It’s called editing. Lol. I originally had “Apu” at the beginning of sentence and hence why it said “his”. I later changed my mind on the sentence but not the reference to Apu.
I usually try to keep most of them gender neutral (put they or their). I corrected it. 😉
Thanks Bunny!! Great talent everywhere!! i also have to love the broken window idea! Hi to my wonderful neighboreenos…. Freak, EvilKitten, LeKittynoir 🙂 Sorry Freak, I crashed way early on. Who am i kidding, You loved all that attention LOL. Anyone or is it just my luck but the baskets do not seem as numerous as they were early on? Anyway Happy Zapping!!
So…I shouldn’t tell you I just one pink n one blue from bunny carrots?
i just have not had any luck getting baskets of either color over the last couple days. i am zapping and harvesting and zapping again but nada. i still have lots of time tho. i will give it another day and if baskets do not prevail then i may need to buy one. I am done with the blue so now it is non dominant pink and of course gold. We shall see! 😉
🙂 …but you won’t let me give you any…eggs…lol… 😉
I don’t need eggs in my B game. Thanks though. A game is freemium so I’m waiting to win baskets. I put some out already and they got filled right away.
I had better get a shot at one of your baskets…LOL 😉
Tell everyone else that. Lol 😉
Attn EVERYONE…Free donuts at Freak’s castle…
…now once everyone is scrambling to my place, I sneak in and drop mah bombs…wait…is bombs a trigger word? LOL…
On a post related note, I never like to pick just one person to shout out to as I think everyone does a great job in there towns but I have to give props to CTWardo. The broken window/flowers is super creative. I may have to borrow it 🙂
I was quite impressed by that idea too. Used the broken windows for many things in my art…never thought a headstone. Great idea. This is why I love these. I draw so many cool ideas from each and everyone.
Thanks for the comments! I can’t take credit for the idea as I
got the inspiration for the window graves when I first started playing over a year ago, from someone’s pic posted in one of the forums.
I have done the same, actually my bad dream house is a variation of what I had seen online. That’s what’s great about the community, so many talented people and we are all so willing to share 🙂
@etwardo, major brownie points for being honest in your reply…I give you much respect!!! 🙂
Thank you very much for the show off opportunity! I love halloween! And yes I do have a lot going on in my little block ha ha, but you better watch out for the pumpkins! Ha ha >:)
Hi everyone!
Thanks for posting my entry in the showoff. I call it “La Mort des Simpsons”. Hope you like. Cheers.
Great towns, I just wanted to share something vaguely death related.
I haven’t tried this on the other zombie yet but the dog ( snarling I think) has a broken animation can someone please check theirs to see if it’s not just me. What I mean by broken is he bursts but he won’t do the clawing animation. pls help!!!
Hmmmm interesting. I don’t know if they changed the animation on him. Mine only bursts now too. Actually…looks like pretty much all my Zombie NPC’s just burst now. They must have altered the animation. I just don’t really tap on them much at all or pay attention to them as they are NPC.
Where’s all the guys at??? I’m being treated like a piece of meat…LOL…HELP!!! 🙂
Psssssh. What a cry baby. 😛
…I have no defense but words…as my tears dampen the earth…for I am but a dream within a dream never to awaken…
Imodat!!!…don’t look now but there’s a half naked lady ad on your pic…didn’t I say, “don’t look now?”…LoL…these ads suck, though…hey girl, yours would be better if you’d rotate them trees… 🙂 …LOL … *hits freak with bottle of water* … dang!!!… 🙂 …thanks for swappin’ with me…your town is looking awesome!!! 🙂
You know freak…those ads are catered to the person on the page…so…that says a lot about YOU. 😛
HAha!!! That’s what Alissa said about the Asian mail order bride ads…lol…ain’t no bride needed ’round here!!! …besides…****EDITED DUE TO IT MADE US GIGGLE TOO MUCH*** …been there, they suck…lol…freak likes ’em real… 🙂 …okay, that’s not getting posted!!! LOL
Just posted it. 😛
Haahaa!!! Same as Alissa said…okay…she’s not half naked…just wearing a bra…lol 😉
I think someone is a lil sleepy and its beddy bye time for them. A lot of hallucinations going on over there in Freak town. 😛
…then read me a story…about dragons and a castle… 🙂
My ads keep telling me to lose weight. I think if I lost anymore weight I would be a 2D display. 😛
HAHAHAHAHAH
A Lil late (as usual) but here goes:
Once upon a time there was a magical enchanting castle. Like most fairy tales, a princess lived inside. But UNlike most fairy tales, this princess was not held prisoner by a menacing dragon. Instead, the princess was bound only by the moral responsibility of keeping the ever so mischievous fanged bunny from wreaking havoc on the land. Unfortunately for the princess, she also had to watch over a Wookiee, for if left alone in the attic too long could succumb to a Cheeto & Star Wars induced Coma. Every so often, while the Princess was recouping from all her daily duties, the mischevious Bunny would sneak into a secret supply of ‘water’ and escape from the basement….
The result is pretty much everything on this thread so I feel no need to finish the story. 😉
Hahahhah love it!!! 😉
Thanks!!! It is so fun to be a part of this community. And well played putting them in alphabetical order 😉 Great designs & inspiration.
My first comment to you was supposed to be funny but got kinda hijacked…Hey!!! Great scene, great town, Imodat!!! … 🙂
You mean…bunny jacked? 😛
Dang it Bunny, I love you!!! 🙂 …even if you’re “enhanced”!!! …LOL
Bunny water does wonders for the fur. I am all shiny and soft. Gives me great bounce too. 😛
Do it do it do it do it…will be our “SAFE WORD”…that’s four “do its” now…not three…LOL 🙂
NOBODY is safe around the Bunny. I got fangs. And I doubt you got the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. Those idiot kaahhh-nnnnigggh-its done blew it up. 😛
Follow. But! Follow only if ye be men of valor, for the entrance to
this cave is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has
fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its
lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength,
come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth.
I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn’t
you? Oh, it’s just a harmless little bunny, isn’t it? Well, it’s always
the same. I always tell them–
…yeah, cold shower… 🙁
Now…run away before I taunt you a second time. 😛
ROFLMAO!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Wish my comments were in order and I could squeeze in after yours…lol…you suck, you know… 🙂 …but that’s why I love you!!!
No wait, I …no no no…not that way!!! LOL…OKAYOKAY…This thread is totally blown!!! 🙂
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAAH You’re Welcome!! 😛
Awesome pics! =3
Hey girl!!!…knew you’d be here!!! 🙂 …I can do my own screenshots now and just spent an hour waiting to get pics of my bunnies by my lighthouse…lol…you didn’t have to do anything special for tonight because you always have your town in SHOWOFF mode!!! 🙂
Really starting to hate the easter update. All i keep winning are 250 blue or pink eggs back snd fourth when all i want are **** gold eggs for the character prizes and the lizzards. Startin to hate the game and events now..
Sorry you feel that way. There is still plenty of time left in this event. If all you really want are in the gold boxes, play a good strategy to get more chances at them. Keep collection Eggs in your NON Dominant color box and use those only to spin. The 300 gold eggs in it pay out at a VERY high rate. So you will collect more chances for the Gold Box that way. The other egg color that you do not use at all, trade them for the color of eggs in your NON dominant box. There again increasing your odds to get the items you want.
The event does not end until May 13th. Two and a half more weeks. So plenty of time to still get some really cool prizes. Hang in there. Just have fun. 😉
Hufflepuff! Quiz said Gryff but I like yellow too much.
Seriously, I LOVE the title of this post, lol. Some stellar designs, as usual! Hey there Freak & Runicgem, show off those goods!
Blame the NON Muggle in me. 😛
We’re so magical! Hahaha, I just realized that my house is Ravenclaw and my team is blue! Coincidence? I think not.
Hehehehe.
The one taken during Halloween reminds me of the dark fog and the days of the personal and community prizes. Ah, good times.
Okay now…I be waitn’ an hour so not to be first… 🙂
I love the ideas you guys came up with…many of my friends up there…hey, Runi, Imodat, Cyber, Steve, and SaraMary, wooHOOO!!!
I’m no judge but I’d say the best one was the one with cemeteries, spooky walls, and pumpkins in it… 😉 …gotta get me a cemetery this Halloween!!!
Thanks, Runi and Bunny. 🙂
We adore our lil troll. 😉
Thank you for the show off opportunity! I really love halloween! And sorry for the late submission!
If you’re talking about mine, then thank you very much, if not just ignore me ha ha, but your halloween area looks Awesome too!
Where’s mine?? 🙁
I submitted it to the Flickr group page yesterday.
It’s there. Refresh and look again. 🙂
I see it now, thanks! 🙂
