Stonecutters are Here! (Updated & Complete)

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Who controls the British crown? Who keeps the metric system down? We do, we do!
Who keeps Atlantis off the maps? Who keeps the Martians under wraps? We do, we do!
Who holds back the electric car? Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star? We do, we do!
Who robs cavefish of their sight? Who rigs every Oscar night? We do, we do, we do!’

The Stonecutters have arrived in Springfield!  Yes, that’s right after a year and nearly 9 months of TSTO EA has FINALLY brought the secret society to our Springfields!

  1. Is there a list of category members? Gluttons, criminals, etc. Per Number 1’s tasks to “Send a X to Y”. I’d like to be able to figure out the minimum number/list of Springfielders that I need to complete these jobs, so that I don’t have to keep very large numbers of residents doing 1 and 2 hour jobs (or nothing at all) in case I need them. Especially the Premium ones (or ones with Premium costumes). e.g.: if Quimby is both a criminal and a glutton, then it’s better to keep him idle/free than Homer (probably a glutton) and Snake (criminal, natch).

    • YES!! Lol. It just took a bit of time to compile with everything else. The glitches and Hotfix took priority, it will be up in the morning on the blog. 😉

  2. After downloading the new update for the simpsons tapped out game now it wont let me back on to the game it keeps showing a page saying there is not enough storage space on your device I have 1.39gb left so I dont understand as I went on it last night I have been playing the game since it was released all those years ago.

    Please help

    • I run into this still. Working EA to still find a solution. What device do you play on? I want to pass it along.

      Outside of that, the best thing for me that works…clear cache/data…if that doesn’t trigger it…uninstall and reinstall. Also, make sure you have at LEAST 2GB worth of space on your device. The TSTO file is MASSIVE. I keep mine on an external SD card.

      You can contact EA on the matter too if you would like to open a ticket.

  3. Is anybody else having issues collecting emblems from neighbors? I’ve visited all my neighbors (while the youngsters are getting squishees) and have tapped on multiple cameras but my town is still registering 0 emblems. I’m confused. Would some, kind tapper please explain what I’ve been doing wrong?

    • Please take a look at my Spy on neighbor post as it explains you only get 60 taps every 24hours to get the Emblems, so it depends where you were just before you started the game. If you just started your 24 hour window and did not tap a single neighbor before opening the Spy feature, you have 60 taps to grab up to 60 Emblems total. If you used them to get money or used them up BEFORE the spy feature was unlocked…you lost them til it resets on the next 24 hour window.

      If you tapped all last night or earlier before the event…you again need to wait till your 24 hours reset to get the 60 Emblem option.

    Anyone having issues storing buildings? I wanted to store the Kwik-E-Mart since Apu had over a day left on his 7 day shift and I need him out for one of the Stonecutter quests (the puzzle ones) but it keeps telling me I can’t store it, even though I only have like 6 things in storage.

    • The Nuclear option put in the game caused a LOT of glitches and items to disappear into no where…due to that…EA sent out an update blocking items from storage. So it is hit and miss on what can be stored right now while they fix it.

      • Josephine Kick@$$

        Not that I care anymore, but do you know if they plan on doing any type of replacing/compensation for the missing items?

        • At this time, I do not know. You got one of the “lovely” reps. o.O

          I would try again, and if you get a “lovely” rep again…ask for a supervisor. Tell them the troubleshooting is done. Sometimes that frontline can be more hurt then help. It is hit and miss. Also, there is the forum you can use to catch attention if you wanna try.

    • You can sell it and buy another one if you choose to go that route.

      • It seems that you can catch up on the puzzle quests and that the only time sensitive thing is when they start. Its Num 1 quests that you have to do in 24 hours I would wait until he finishes tomorrow and then have him feed. I hope that this is the case cause both lisa and apu are busy till tomorrow for me.

  5. If you don’t have some of the characters do you get them when u unlock the outfits? Or do you have to wait to use them till you buy the characters? I don’t have frink so would I be able to use number 314?

  6. Hi guys! I’m playing on a Kindle and have the updated content (buildings, dialogue, etc.) and I’m getting spy emblems from neighbors but I can’t visit my neighbors to return the favor. Is anyone else out there having this issue? I’ve already tried troubleshooting my device and at this point I’m just trying to find out if it’s a “me issue” or an “EA/content” issue. Thanks!

    • You need to make sure you complete the event to the point of unlocking the Lodge and additional content after the build of the Lodge. Part 3/4 pretty much. You will then see the cameras when you visit neighbors. 😉

      Hope that helps.

  7. Just curious. Has anyone done the math for how long it will take to finish with all the collection items? It will drive me insane with the fear that I won’t collect EVERYTHING.

  8. Why would the Robe order character not show up to tap? My husband acct has completed the daily tasks & still not shown up even after the last glitch update.

      • Completed all 4 daily tasks, but non of the quests have came up. Like spying on the neighbors or Lisa researching for 24 hours.

        • OK…what tasks exactly is it you are looking at? There is a main questline “Game of Stones” and a LOT of mini side quests going on all over in the event. The 4 daily tasks are a side mini quest for Number 1.

          After you finish Part 3 of Game of Stones… you will have Lisa’s side quest launch for “The Secret of the Cut Stone”….send her off to that first quest (she needs to be free to trigger it). At the same time you will also have Homer trigger the mini side quest of “Quash Those Who Trespass Against Us” (Make sure Homer is free to trigger it.) The Quash is the one that will trigger the Robed Order to come into your town.

          So, Get past Game of Stones Part 3 and get the “completed” pop up. Start Lisa on her side quest (first task is Look for Clues for 24hrs), once she is on her way…then Homer (if he is free) should trigger the Robed Order questline.

          http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/06/04/capture-the-roded-order/

        • If you are on android may I suggest going to your home screen, then clicking the stacked boxes that show you your previous tasks, clear all of them and then try getting back in the game. Also what are your characters doing??

      • That is it Lisa has been busy all day. Thanks for the help!

  9. howly cowly over 600 comments already. I guess somepeople get mad theres isnt on top.

  10. Who is a dimwit character?

  11. Josephine Kick@$$

    The emblem limit isn’t bad as long as your neighbors return the favor & visit you. If you’re a good neighbor, they will be too. I was only able to collect emblems from cameras after I got home tonight (only got cash & XP last night), and I still managed to get the first scroll last night (I did speed up the building of the Lodge when I first was able to place it).

  12. Josephine Kick@$$

    Guess what boys? You’ve *all* won the Pi$$ing contest, so can we just get back to the tappin please 🙂

    Thank you very much 🙂

    • Don’t know what I’ve missed but wanted to follow up on my promise and let you know X-Men was amayazazing. Now Akissa and Bunny will know I was slacking but a promise is a promise.

  13. Audrey Ferrie

    I had this issue but then there was a brief update and voila it is fixed 😀 still not getting emblems for spying in neighbour though which is very disappointing – says you will get 0 emblems for the next 0 actions. Is this right? Shouldn’t we get emblems for every action even at various amounts?

  14. Thedirtydouble

    I am trying to purchase premium items for stonecutters (all seeing eye pyramid) and i cant find the menu to access the items. I have built the main lodge and homer is just finishing his first task. I am on an ipad2. Its odd cus the easter menu was right at the bottom right. I must be missing something big! Help!

    • Tap on your build menu, then the icon on the bottom right but the last one on the left will be the Stonecutters event menu.

      • Thedirtydouble

        Thank you! Of course, I figured it out right after I posted! My homer finished his task and right after that, the icon for stonecutters premium items appeared in the build menu. I was too anxious!

  15. i got a monkey, a rope, two bananas, a blindfold and six batteries what next?

    so i had a glitch that eventually cleared itself, when i clicked on Number 1 to view his tasks it would rather quickly flash on and off before i could even read what it said, i did 2 of his task earning emblems before this glitch cleared itself but when it did i noticed the task counter was still on the first oneso i still have to do 4 task today (but hey still got the other emblems so its all good)

  16. Just had an update hit. I’m guessing it’s a hot fix for you folks with the number 1 glitch.

  17. Make sure that after you send someone to drink a slushy that you wait until they are finished and you are given the tap your neighbors town task or you won’t be able to complete it.

  18. Audrey Ferrie

    Do you ion what the maximum number of emblems can be earned from visiting/spying on neighbours? I have only visited a few neighbours who have reached this level and it says you will earn 0 emblems for the next 0 actions. Seems I visits less than 10 neighbours – it’ll take forever if I can only earn such a small amount per day from visiting :-/

    • 60 total

      • Audrey Ferrie

        So only 60 emblems for visiting friends each day? So what is the incentive to visit neighbours then?

        • You are helping THEM and in return them visiting is helping YOU. You can earn up to 5 Emblems for every item your neighbor “Spies” on. So you can earn a TON fast by being good neighbors. Plus the 60 you get for visting. That can lead to quite a lot a day if you and your neighbors are active. 100 neighbors x 3 spies x 5 Emblems. That is a possibility of 1500 Emblems a day.

      • I got kinda bummed out about the emblem-limit-per-day for friend visits, too. You can keep earning X money per day by visiting and tapping friends’ Springfields, though!

        And, as Bunny already mentioned re: helping your neighbors…. as Homer would say “Ooooohhh! Look at me! I’m ma-king pe-ople ha-ppy!”

  19. Stuck on sending Highroller to get a laughy meal toy.

    Any idea on which character does this?

  20. Did they bring back nighthawk diner or not?

    • This is why we don’t post spoilers. Other sites reported it was part of the update, it’s not. At least not yet. It’s possible it could make a comeback towards the end of the event (which would make sense if it lines up with the 4th of July). But sometimes things look like they’re in the files and they aren’t actually in the game. The KEY reason why we don’t post anything until it actually hits the game, so we can verify. 🙂

  21. Hmm…this is a bit weird. I saw that my No. 1’s tasks were due to restart soon and I’ve just checked back on my A & my B game and when I click on the No. 1 icon in the corner of the screen or on number 1 a screen flashes up for a millisecond and that’s it. Is this a glitch anyone else has had? I play my A game on an iPad and my B game on a Kindle so not sure it’s a device thing. I’m a bit worried as I don’t know how long each set runs for but it’s past midnight here in the UK and I won’t be able to look in again now until the morning and I was hoping to at least get one character on a task tonight.

    • I am seeing this trend. Post up in like 1 minute on this blog in issue. Contact EA and post to the forum I will have linked in the post.

  22. Ok, I just updated and pushed the button to store things and this odd button was added saying. Store ALL buildings, so I freaked out, what up with that? I have one opening for a new friend

  23. At the bottom it says i have 605 emblems but when i tap on number 1 it says i still have the 250 and 400 emblem categories to go within 5.5 hours. any ideas??

    • The Emblems you see are two completely different items. The count at the lower end of the screen is the amount you have accumulated while playing the game…the ones listed in Number 1’s task screen are the ADDITIONAL ones you can win from completing the tasks for each category. There is a “hidden” task with a hint at the top. Like “send so and so pessimist to get coffee”. You have to figure out who completes that task, and once you send them and complete it, you are awarded those additional Emblems.

      I have a post on this coming up. 😉

  24. im stucked in the task of Number 1 which says, put to ??? to regreat! i really have no idea what do i have to do, does anybody knows?

    • Post on all these coming soon….

      Did you mean Repent? And one of the character groups below?

      Repent (Entrepreneur, Celebrity, Civil Servant, Criminal, Glutton, High Roller, Pessimist, Saint)

      • i made willie and lovejoy repent. It is not highlighted in yellow and it just shows up in white like a normal task which was confusing.

        • That is why they are “hidden” tasks. You don’t know what belongs to who. There is a TON of info coming up on it. 😉

  25. I seem to never be able to see Number 1’s tasks, they flash on the screen but only for a microsecond. I guess I can work them out by seeing the tasks in my guys, but I simply can’t see them

  26. Just got a little bug. I don’t know if it’s just my game or not but when I tap on Number One, I don’t have the pop up anymore. It disappears really quickly. Same thing when I tap on the Number One on the top right.

  27. michellebe158

    Do we have to wait until the lodge building is complete to see the video cameras at our neighbor’s place? Or should I have seen this change as soon as the update hit?

  28. I am getting 0 emblems when I visit friends. I get the cash and the xp. I’ve earned emblems from the tasks but never from friends. Any suggestions?

    • You need to make sure you have rolled over to a new 24 hour time frame for neighbor visits…then use them VERY wisely. You only get the first 60 taps to get Emblems. So if you use any of those 60 to collect anything else, you will lose Emblems.

  29. I have to get a pessimist to buy expensive coffee whos is a pessimist
    Add me tatetedder978

    • Post coming on this.

      Pessimist Krabappel, Patty, CBGuy, Lovejoy, Selma, Abe, Jasper, Willie, Hugs, Agnes, Dolph, Moe, Arnie Pye

  30. having an issue with sending to buy over priced coffee who is eligible for this

    • It depends what character group the system selected for you. Do you remember which one?

      Buy Overpriced Coffee (Enterpreneur, Celebrity, Civil Servant, High Roller, Kook, Pessimist, Senior)
