Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Well Level 41 is upon us and with it come a whole new set of Conform-O-Meter requirements, as well as new decorations and buildings to contribute towards your 5-star rating! In my efforts to write the post for the Level 41 Confrom-O-Meter changes I realized that in the craziness of Easter and all the lag issues I never recapped the Conform-O-Meter changes Level 40 & the Yellow Badge of Cowardge. So…there’s no time like the present so why not cover all three in 1 post? 🙂
Of course with the release of Levels 40 and 41 many of the requirements to maintain 5 Stars on your Conform-O-Meter have changed, so let’s check it out and see what the new requirements are. So now you’ll have all the information you need to maintain that 5-Star Springfield!
The Conform-O-Meter is an important part of Tapped-Out because it provides you with a bonus boost in your cash and XP from everything you collect in the game. When you achieve a 5-Star Town (it’s max rating) you will receive a 5% bonus on all money and XP collected in your town. If you missed the previous Conform-O-Meter posts check here for the basics and here for how many points you’ll need to reach 5 stars.
With all the new building and decorations added between the three updates let’s break it all down….
Here are the new requirements to maintain a 5-Star Springfield for Level 40
| Level | Indolence | Obedience | Consumerism/ Gluttony |
| 40 | 470 | 290 | 272/306 |
| Tree-hugging /Vanity |
Righteousness | Socialism | |
| 23,195/35,770 | 191 | 1,830 |
Indolence and Obedience saw no increase from Level 39 to Level 40, however every other area increase. Consumerism saw an 8 point increase, Tree-Hugging increased by 1,330 points and Vanity saw a 1,350 point increase. While Gluttony increased by 18 points, Righteousness increased by 9 points and Socialism increased by 102 points.
So now let’s take a look at how these new buildings and decorations Level 40 dropped in impact our Conform-o-Meter:

| Lotto ‘N’ Liquor | 150 Donuts | Consumerism | 10 |
| Concrete Wall | $385 | Vanity | 100 |
| Santa’s Little Helper Topiary | 30 Donuts | Vanity | 100 |
Level 40 also introduced 1 item for Krustyland. Here’s how that item impacts the Krust-O-Meter:
| Item | Cost | Category | Points |
| Crashed Cop Car | 1,000 Tickets | Kitsch | 10 |
Now let’s take a look at how the Yellow Badge of Cowardge Episode Tie-In update items impacted our Conform-O-Meter. Of course, as always, the Episode Tie-In brought no changes to the overall Conform-O-Meter ratings however the items did have an impact on the Conform-O-Meter:
| Item | Cost | Category | Points |
| Macaroni’s Shed | 30 Donuts | Vanity | 300 |
And now for the latest update….let’s take a look at how Level 41 impacts our Conform-O-Meters. Here are the new requirements to maintain a 5-Star Springfield for Level 41:

Whew was that enough info for you? Now that we’re all finally got ourselves caught up on the latest Conform-O-Meter requirements…how is YOUR town doing? Are you maxed out? If not what area(s) currently needs a boost? Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!
Woohoo thanks Alissa!!! Donut on the first tap…lol…and three more in ten minutes!!! Where’s everyone? 🙂
You’re welcome. I left it there just for you to find 😉
Ya, it’s like cray cray quiet in here!
Bunny has some personal things going on..she’s usually the one bringing in the cray cray 😉
Ya, but you & the Wookster have been pretty quiet too. I even ended up getting a movie in tonight, we watched “I Frankenstein”. It got terrible ratings, but I liked it 🙂
…and dead silence again… maybe my email lags (I hope EA hasn’t merged with Gmail LOL
Is there something wrong with the word “crazy”?…or is it that I’m freakin old?…lol
Ummm… no comment? 😉
Gluttony is my only drop and I’m not quite sure why as I added the fudge factory. I must have been barely at 5 stars. I added one Gulp and Blow, no change. Now I’m adding another Krusty Burger… Probably more tomorrow. I wish there was more variety for this category.
Working on redoing all the Conform-O-Meter Pages…there may be a few you don’t even realize. But I do agree…a lot of them are Limited time and NLA 🙁
I need help with Tree-hugging!! I guess I need to have a forest with ponds, etc.

Yup…Trees help! 🙂
righteousness dropped to 1 star again… that always happens with a new level… how can I boost that? where can I see how many points I have for each measure??
Training walls help boost it. You can check out this area of the blog for more info:

Buy a bunch and hide them behind buildings. I have only one visible and around 40 hidden (but you won’t need that many)😉
I’ve been stuck at 4.5 stars for Consumerism for a long time now. I thought that with the construction of one more Kwik-E-Mart I would have the 29 buildings required to hit the 282-point mark at Level 41. No such luck.
Any idea of when a comprehensive list of the Consumerism buildings will be available?

I’m actually in process of cleaning up a bunch of sections of the site and the Conform O Meter is on my list. It’ll be a few days for all of the detail to be up there, but everything is on the site 🙂
I’ve looked through TSTO Addicts, TSTO Games/Tricks, and TSTO Topix, including http://tstotricks.com/buildings/, and by my calculations I should have 29-31 Consumerism buildings, yet I’m still at 4.5 stars. I don’t know whether it is still possible to parse the game’s current data files, but I think that that may be the only way to get a true list.
The complete list is coming, but it is in bits and parts all over our site. On the conform-o-meter page. Each new update or level we put out the new and current changes to it. Items have gone up and down since release.
Yes! Thank you….Can’t seem to fill that half star in consumerism.
Looking for one new friend. 🙂
So that explains why both my wife and I suddenly lost half a star of rating.
Please help me get my game to open! !!!!!!! I’m going crazy! !!!!!!!!
Well..I need a bit more in details. When you say it can’t open, what do you see?
Got it covered 🙂
Thanks for the info on the changes Alissa 🙂
Anytime 🙂
