Hey there Hoppereenos. Bunny here bouncing on by to help out with glitches and issues that seem to be trending right now. So batten down the hatches and let’s dive on in.
First up, the 20 sided die or Cheaters as the game calls them.
In order to be able to use these, regardless if you have won them or not, you need to have reached 800 Gold and unlocked the Free Bag of Cheaters. To use them, you need to go to a neighbors/random town that has buildings/castles to destroy. Or Buildings in your town that need to be repaired and/or defended.
In your town you will see the Shield with a Die on it along with the amount of die you have left to use. In a neighbor/random building, you will see the option in the pop up menu under the Nerds you want to attack to instead will have the option to “Wreck this building immediately” for 1 die.
Now what should happen is when you use the die in your town, a flash occurs and all the items are repaired/defended. This is not happening for many players and the task is not clearing.
There are others in the EA forums stating the same issue. My suggestion right now is to alert EA if it is not registering for you right away as well as posting your info on the forum to raise awareness to the problem.

Odd Notifications.
I have to say this one has got me confused. With the new update came a lot of new notifications popping up on our devices. Even some really strange ones that make no sense.
Our awesome reader Harry B. Sent this in to us.
I just noticed that when I got the message again about Hidden Tickets generating, I did a slow look at everything, and discovered that those Wine Cups were available to Buy!
I think the glitch has been Accidentally alerting me each time somthing new is available to buy in the game!I’ll keep a close watch and see if it happens again.. This could actualy be a good thing 🙂
This very well could be a Notification on the “special” events that occur (like elixr sales). Just a language mix up. Looks like some of the NPC type Spuckler Kids are in on it too.
My suggestion on this too is to alert EA. Obviously some wording is missing and needs to be resolved. So contact them and open a ticket as well as post on the EA forums to bring attention to it. If a Notification is wrong, it impacts all players.
UPDATE: The items were as I originally thought, pop ups that should not have shown. They are essentially coding for the characters tasks completing and should not have triggered a notification to your device. Like if something completed in Krustyland and you can go collect tickets or if Dubya (Brandine’s Kid) finished collecting money and was ready to be tapped.
Items disappearing when visiting Krustyland.
Players are stating that bizarre things happen and go missing when you leave Springfield and the game hasn’t had a chance to sync up. Things like the shields you just defended your town with. Or Elixr you just bought. For some a trip to a Neighbor helps to sync it back up and restore. For others, items are lost for good.
If this is happening to you, alert EA right away as you definitely don’t want to be losing items during this event. Also, post on the forum to bring attention. Try to sync up in the mean time by hopping in and out of a few neighbors to see if it helps restore what you lost.

15 FREE DONUTS??!!
We are still in the process of looking in to this one. We have seen it and the dialog. We will update once we find out more.
UPDATE: A patch sent through by EA corrected this issue and players were able to get a pop up and awarded their 15 free donuts. If you did not or had any troubles in them disappearing, please alert EA.
So there you have a few things we are noticing more and more. Let us know if anything else strange is going on. Info to contact EA is HERE. Let us know if this helped you or if you alerted EA already and got a response.
