Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s Yard Sale time in Springfield & what’s old is once new again! But, with that limited-time label, and the added pressure of these being some highly coveted items, it may be overwhelming trying to decide which items to buy and what to pass on. But, have no fear! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth your donuts & what you might want to hold off on.
So far we’ve broken down the pros and cons of the Mayan Bundles and the pros and cons of the skins/costumes, so now let’s take a look at the final skin in of the 2014 Summer Yard Sale.
Wondering if you should add the Cool Brown House (and Cool Homer) to your Springfield ? Well before you hit that confirm spend button, let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this cool combo to your town…..
Skin/Building: Cool Homer and Cool Brown House
Donut Price: 120 Donuts
Dimensions: 7×5
Payout: $6/1xp every 5m
Conform-O-Meter: Indolence +10
Pros:
-Another skin for Homer with some fun/silly outdoor tasks
-Costume turns a freemium character into a premium character, with premium payouts (50% more cash and xp on all tasks)
-One of the most coveted items for a lot of Tappers. Originally from an episode tie-in back in November of 2012.
-Cool Homer has a TON of fun outdoor tasks (including showing off his fixie, which is one of my favorites!)
-Cool Brown House has an awesome unique design and will add some fun to your Springfield.
-Short questline included with it
Cons:
-Was originally free when initially released
-Many costumes, that were free, already turn Homer into a premium earner (like Mr. Plow)
-Cool Brown House pays the same rate as the regular Brown House.
Final Thought:
This is one I’ve had in my town since it was released and I LOVE IT. This has got to me my favorite item offered up in the Yard Sale (for many of you too)! Homer is often “cool” in my Springfield & I’m thrilled it now earns premium rates. The Cool Brown House is also one of my favorite houses in Springfield. It’s currently on my shoreline…and fits in great there.
I know 120 donuts is a high price to pay for a house/skin combo (especially one that was once free), but I definitely think this one is well worth it (and I know many of you agree)!
Just remember whatever you decide this is a LIMITED-TIME combo and once it’s gone, its’s gone…so be sure to get it before August 4th if you’re thinking about making that purchase!
