Hey there Hoppereenos!
So here we were, minding our own business… heading home for the day or to appointments and BAM!!! UPDATE!! Once again, a bunch of changes happen when a New Level drops. Here are some of the main ones we noticed…
For the basics on Level 51 overview, see the post HERE.
For starting the new Level, you will need to have completed the previous Levels prior to move on. So you need Game Play Level 47 & 48 & 49 & 50 done to move on to 51 (Main Walkthroughs complete). You also need to make sure you XP Level is at 51.
Now to the Random Changes….
First off, with another new level comes more new pricing. This means all items on previous levels will move down in cost. WOOHOO!! Following are the new price changes for the current Buildings in the town. The Base price of the building is in red. The multipliers for the Level will be next to them. You can see how they decrease as a new level hits.
Level 51: 4X Cost
Level 50: 4X Cost
Level 49: 3X Cost
Level 48: 2X Cost
Level 47: 1.6X Cost
Level 46: 1.4X Cost
Level 45: 1.3X Cost
Level 44: 1.3X Cost
(Level 43-1: No Multiplier)
As you can see to top two highest levels and bottom two are the same, so during those blocks you won’t see a change. Think of it this way. When you buy a car brand new, it is at its top dollar mark up cost. Overtime, the car depreciates in value and continues to until it hits the bottom or base cost. Same here. The Buildings are expensive brand new, but in time after more NEW things are introduced, its originally cost will drop.
If you want an overall on ALL the pricing, check out our Realty Guide Page.
NEW BUILDING COSTS
Remember…the BASE price is indicated in Red. The current price is in black. Don’t confuse the base price (in red) with the current price (in black).

MR TEENY IS A NPC NOW
Could be due to the complaints of how it locked up the Krusty task, could be some other odd issue… whatever the reasoning behind it, EA has now made Mr. Teeny a NPC in the game. That means no more tasks for him at all. Just another wandering creature on the Sidewalks.
LITTLE BLACK BOX TASKS
Once you place the Little Black Box into your town, the task will appear in the Characters list to “Drink at the Black Box”. Standard Payout of $110 & 27XP, 2hr task. Premium Payout $175 & 40XP, 2hr task.
The following Characters are the only ones that will have the task…
Lenny
Carl
Wiggum
Barney
PRINCESS KASHMIR NEW TASK
Princess Kashmir (premium) now has a new 6hr task to “Shake her Moneymaker”. Again, it’s 6hrs and earns $350, 90xp. It takes place at Florence of Arabia, so finally someone will use it!
Now for a quick recap of Changes that were brought to us courtesy of the Superheroes Event End.
GENERIC HOUSING & BUILDING COST CURVE
Looks like EA is trying to level the playing field for players, possibly even help to cut down on game crashing and lagging due to TOO MUCH in the town. This is for players that like to “House Farm” aka have MANY of the same house to collect on. The current game stability cap is at 4500 Buildings & Decorations. If you push past this not only will you risk crashing & lagging but additional problems like Neighbors ability to visit your town and even possibly locking yourself out. (This DID happen to me. Took EA rolling back my game several months to finally go far enough back they could unlock my town again. I was locked out for over 3 months.)
Here is the general idea of the pricing now, the following are the Base Prices of each house…
Brown House- $355
Purple House- $1100
Blue House- $1800
Pink House- $3400
White House- $7,700
Orange House- $24,500
Kwik-E-Mart: $220
Krusty Burger: $2600
Gulp ‘N’ Blow: $13,500
Now as you continue to buy more and more of each item and place it in your town, you will notice the price will go up and up and up til you hit the “CAP”. Let’s take a look at an example of what YOU will pay for them.
| Brown House | Purple House | Blue House | Pink House | White House | |
| 1 | 355 | 1100 | 1800 | 3400 | 7700 |
| 2 | 420 | 1400 | 2200 | 4000 | 8800 |
| 3 | 500 | 1800 | 2700 | 4800 | 10000 |
| 4 | 575 | 2200 | 3400 | 5800 | 12000 |
| 5 | 675 | 2750 | 4100 | 6900 | 13000 |
| 6 | 790 | 3500 | 5000 | 8200 | 14500 |
| 7 | 950 | 4400 | 6100 | 10000 | 16500 |
| 8 | 1100 | 5500 | 7500 | 12000 | 19000 |
| 9 | 1250 | 7000 | 9300 | 14000 | 21000 |
| 10 | 1500 | 8800 | 11400 | 16500 | 24000 |
| Orange House | Kwik-E-Mart | Krusty Burger | Gulp ‘N’ Blow | |
| 1 | 24500 | 220 | 2600 | 13500 |
| 2 | 26000 | 260 | 2900 | 15200 |
| 3 | 28000 | 300 | 3200 | 17100 |
| 4 | 30000 | 380 | 3500 | 19500 |
| 5 | 32000 | 450 | 3900 | 22000 |
| 6 | 34000 | 580 | 4300 | 24500 |
| 7 | 36000 | 680 | 4800 | 28000 |
| 8 | 39000 | 800 | 5200 | 31000 |
| 9 | 41500 | 900 | 5700 | 35000 |
| 10 | 44000 | 1100 | 6400 | 40000 |
You will also notice the opposite impact as you sell any back. The amount will get smaller and smaller in the purchase area as well as the amount you will credit for with the sell.
As for a CAP, for the Brown House it was 25 Houses and a CAP Cost of $17,300.
Feel free to add the total amounts you have in your game and your current costs in the comments below.
SUPERHERO EVENT ITEMS PAYOUTS

TRADE DONUTS FOR IN GAME CASH
First it’s important to note that the higher the level you are the more cash you’ll get for your donuts. Here’s the breakout at Level 51:
– $12,000 will cost you 9 Donuts
– $60,000 will cost you 30 Donuts
– $144,000 will cost you 65 Donuts
-$240,000 will cost you 100 donuts
– $720,000 will cost you 285 Donuts
– $1,440,000 will cost you 550 Donuts
$2,880,000 will cost you 1,000 Donuts
$4,800,000 will cost you 1600 Donuts
Again this will vary depending on your level. The above numbers reflect it if you’re on Level 51. As you increase your level over level 9 you’ll start to increase the payout for each one. We won’t go into too much detail with this because we honestly do not encourage you to do this in your games. It is a waste. Do not spend donuts for in game cash…it’s just not worth it (at any level).
Now for that one thing we will continually keep reminding you to check 😉
CONFIRM DONUT SPEND
And of course, your constant reminder (as we ALWAYS get comments on this)…check that Confirm Donut Spend. NO ONE wants to lose donuts on accidental sped up tasks or purchases. The new menu, you will find this in any menu by tapping the cog wheel in the top right corner. (You can also reset your sound from here.)

Got some technical issues from the new update that we were unable to help with? Try the usual Basic Troubleshooting, and if you need more help…contact EA.
So there are a few random changes. I am still looking to see if anything more pops ups. I will update this post if I do. What do you think of the new stuff? Any changes you see that we have not listed? Let us know.
~Bunny
I’m not too certain of this Cap. I have over 30 Blue Houses.
The next one I but will cost me 216,000 dollars.
That’s a little steep…
At 25 houses the number stops rising, but you can add as many houses as you want over that.
Here’s something I haven’t seen included in any posts or comments, and I just read through things from level 47 on up in case I missed it. (Spent an hour looking- I hate to ask questions that you Addicts have answered two dozen times already. Hint hint, wink wink.) I still may have overlooked it, so apologies if I did:
Stonecutter skins are no longer doing premium payout on the 4 hour tasks. I’m now getting $175 instead of $260 as the listed payout. Anyone else noticing this? Has it always been standard payout on 4 hour tasks and I’m just now noticing, or is this a random change/glitch everyone is experiencing? Thanks, all! 🙂
Just Skinner, everyone else still pays the $260. Not sure why Skinner doesn’t, but everyone else should.
Kent doesn’t pay out premium for SC either.
He pays premium for every task in my game…
It depends on whether that SC skin was premium or freemium (Kent’s was freemium) and whether the building that the task is in was premium or freemium. At least one of those had to be premium for the task to pay premium.
That said, I believe there is one character with a premium SC skin who had a task for which he doesn’t earn a premium rate as he should, for some unexplained reason.
Well…when you first got them during Stonecutters they were all freemium (except Hibbert and Frink). So in my game, technically they all should be freemium payouts, since the Black Market Sale I did not participate in since I had everything. They all converted to premium with the exception of Skinners 4hr task. Every other task for Skinner is premium payouts. Also, every other task for every other Stonecutter is a premium payout.
Thanks for the feedback, Alissa! And also thanks to Dust. 🙂
I just went through and checked ALL of my Stonecutters, and here’s what I’ve got:
-No premium payout for the 4 hr task on Skinner, Brockman, and Krusty
-No 4 hour SC task for Burns and Jasper
I don’t mind (as much) not having 4 hour tasks for Burns and Jasper, as Jasper’s already premium and I have the Fruit Bat Man skin for Burns (with his delightful outdoor 4 hr premium task of flying like a decrepit superhero), but Skinner, Brockman, and Krusty not getting premium payouts really grinds my gears. 😉
It’s interesting to me, though, that all 3 of us have different characters missing premium payouts, though. I wonder what the payouts are on the 4 hour SC tasks for other addicts. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Thanks again to both of you for your responses!! 😀
Wiggum pays at a lower rate now too. I have not paid much attention to the other characters. I enjoy the Stonecutters song task which is why I even noticed. Sounds like they all went down though from reading posts.
Ok, it was bugging me so I stopped a couple charectors to look at the prices. Some were the higher payout & some were not. I will email my fav people, TSTOaddicts some screenshots. 🙂
My friend whose tablet was damaged a few weeks ago never had very many in-game friends until I started assisting him with his game. He had picked up a couple from an add-me thread, and a few people he knew in the real world who were also playing TSTO, but that was it. He has more in-game friends now, but is still way behind on collecting his FP prizes, and he has not yet obtained Mr. Teeny. And even though the game is up to date (it’s being played on my backup device so I know the update is complete) he is still able to send Krusty to walk Mr. Teeny for 12 hours. This makes me think that only the tie-in task was removed, and perhaps there is hope that the original 12-hour task for Krusty to walk Mr. Teeny will return. Or they might get lazy and just ignore it. At his current rate, my friend should earn Mr. Teeny in five or six days, so if there is no update to correct this, I’ll let you know if the task disappears when he earns Mr. Teeny.
I really wish they would lift the max buildings/decorations! I am sure I am well past it by my actual town objects as I have an almost maxed town with many hours in set-up. I like my town to look somewhat real & that requires enough houses (& associated decor) as other buildings.
I did start a house farm (something that used to annoy me so!) out of nessessity. I just can’t earn XP fast enough to keep up with the insanely high xp in levels.
I did count my brown houses. I have 40 in my town (including 8 for “farm” purposes) & 5 of the smoking brown houses. (Do they count?) I also have 50 brown houses in storage. Total coincidence of the even numbers! I think it’s pretty funny. But regardless, my brown house purchase price is the $17,300.
Jen, the max is based on the memory capacity of devices playing the game, rather than being some arbitrary number set by the game developers.
Smoking brown houses count as far at total items in your city, but they do not count when calculating the cost of your next brown house because they are actually a decoration that just looks like a brown house.
After I reached level 51 and received all new items and characters. My game wont load. I’ve re downloaded and tried all the advice I received. Im sad
Did you try all the steps? Contact EA?
http://tstoaddicts.com/2014/01/16/troubleshooting-101-basic-troubleshooting-steps/
I have a question does that 4500 Buildings & Decorations include items in your inventory or just items you have out in your town? I have tons of cheaper decorations in my town that i used to get to 5 stars. I’ve recently noticed when I go on my game the screen goes blank like the app is going to close for a second but then my town comes up and i’m wondering now if i have to many decorations and extra buildings that are in my inventory that maybe i should sell.
Out in town. If Inventory… I am in HUGE trouble as I have like 10,000 + in there. Lol. 😉
But krustyland has lost the 12 hr task of taking teeny for a walk. Is that just temporary?
No info yet if permanent or not
In case it wasn’t mentioned yet (sorry if I missed it), Channel 6 Studios now has a 4 hour task, “Live News Report.”
That’s actually not a Level 51 change – that task appears once you have the news van. I’m guessing maybe you recently won one in a Mystery Box, maybe?
Ahh, you’re right! Thanks for the correction!!
I was upset about Mr. Teeny at first but I’m over it now. I did hate he only had the one task which involved Krusty. Most of the time, I had him in storage anyway. I would have liked the solution to have been to give him more tasks but I suppose this works.
SO happy we can use The Little Black Box now! It is great to get use out of buildings that just stand there. Fingers crossed for Madame Chao, Science Museum, Mental Asylum (they SO need Flanders in there),…. Sad about Teeny though. Oh and we need a 4 hour quest for Mindy and Ralph (i get him eating yellow snow now for his 4 hours)
I didn’t like having him eat all that yellow snow, either, so most of the time I just send him to the Moon Bounce!
1971MisterC – with all due respect for your theory, and I hope it holds true for others, but I don’t agree about the Mystery Box. That Mystery Box gift flow did not happen for me. Yes I did get 2 Premiums – Tire Fire and Blue Haired Lawyer. And I did get 30 donuts several times. But out of 7 boxes I got 2 premiums, 2 donut sets, a minnow pond, a bomb shelter and a food stand.
I don’t have the news van or billboard already.
I’m not at all disappointed about my box gifts – I happily used all except the bomb shelter and food stand which I sold. (I already have at least one of each.)
I know several people who’ve only gotten non-premiums from multiple boxes.
I just don’t think folks should assume the premiums are guaranteed.
I can still walk Mr teeny In fact i just set homer to do it now 😛 I think it’s probably because I’ve not unlocked Mr teeny yet on the friendship points but I’m due to unlock him on my next round of friend visits so it might change after. After the update my bhl questline finally triggered (I’m level 33) whoop whoop! Today I also got 10 donuts in my mystery box 😀
I hate they made Mr. Teeny a NPC. They could have just given him another task like stampy at least has two tasks.
MR TEENY IS A NPC NOW (Boo! Hiss! I don’t like this, willing to accept other changes with regards to prices of buildings and how many you can purchase).
Who knows we may see other changes appear whenever EA decides to update the game again 😉
I know this isn’t directly related to level 51 (couldn’t find an appropriate thread), but its happened recently. May have already been covered too and – if so – I apologize.
With the new premium box, if you don’t already have them, I think you are pretty much guaranteed to get: Lard Lad Donuts, Bluehaired Lawyer, Springfield Tire Fire, Channel 6 News Van, and the Itchy and Scratchy Billboard in your first 5 (or 6) pulls. One of my friends and I both did…
Well, if you mean at least one of those, then yes. If you mean all of those, then no. I’ve done about 7 or 8 mystery boxes and have yet to get Lard Lad or the Tire Fire. Did get BHL, Kearney, the van, and two billboards (in addition to one ‘Onda and a minnow pond), so, all in all, I’m still happy (although really would like to get a Lard Lad, since it’s so iconic!).
Oh, and I also got 30 donuts in the free Mystery Box I got to begin with when they first made the switch to this new style box. And one with a Kalash Khalav stand (or whatever it’s called). So I guess that’s actually 9 of the new Mystery Boxes in total.
My Mr. Teeny is completely gone AWOL.
Is anyone else’s Stonecutter Krusty missing his 12 hr “nap at the Stonecutter Lodge” task? Everyone else with a Stonecutter skin still has this task. That was a task for Kristy too, wasnt it…Or am I crazy?
Krusty’s 12 hr stonecutter task was to sing the stonecutters song. For some reason since the superhero event they added the 12hr napping quest, but it was never originally his. With the newest changes they got rid of the additional 12 hr task of napping.
Hm, strange!! I will miss the 12hr task since I don’t have the Stonecutter table 🙁
At the beginning of lv 51 changes regarding the surprise box eere mentioned, got 2 on hold and the first (regurarly) one paid out 10 pink kringles, went dor one of my stock and another 10 pinkies… the most recent one gave me a bunker. Does andbody have insight regarding content and probability?
(Otm, i still have a 2nd teenager from a surprise box stuck in my storage… what to do? ttade fpr donuts possible?)
Thx
The mystery box was covered in detail when it hit, last week.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/04/01/superheros-takedown-has-arrived/
EA i dont see BRANDINE in this new update 🙂
Making Mr Teeny NPC is just lazy. How hard would it be to give him a simple task like Stampy? Stop giving us useless crap for prizes EA!! lol
I’m looking forward to your “Should I Buy” for Frank Grimes!!!!
I’m freemium (now) and was starting to work towards Luanne/Beer-n-Brawl, but GRIMY!!
I’ve noticed that since the 51 update, the “fireworks, candy and puppy dogs” store now has a cashier icon to be tapped rather than just a cash icon. This could indicate a change in its impact on the conform-o-meter. Hope this helps.
No change to the conform o meter
Ive noticed
These are my favorite type of post thanks for doing them. On a side note I’m on android an recently I’ve been seeing post regarding people getting put back to the beginning of the game while still having there current level. This happened to me yesterday after the update so I didn’t get my level up boost from 50 to 51. An I’m close to leveling at the moment I’m omost to level 51. I redowndloaded my game to get my town back so no real biggy. But was wondering just how big a issue this is. Ive heard people mention lollipop in reference to this but not sure what it is. Any thoughts or tips you guys have would be appreciated thanks. Happy tapping
Mine has NEVER reverted like that. So I don’t get why it does happen. Seems isolated when it does though.
@mcfly — Sometimes players just get logged out of Origin, and when they start TSTO they click the button in the bottom right corner like always, without realizing that it changed to “Click to Play Anonymously” instead of the usual message. This starts them at level one in a new game (or sometimes in an anonymous game that is still stored in their device).
“Lollipop” is the name of the newest Android release. It is causing a few issues in some games, but the issue has been going on since well before Lollipop existed, and also happens on Apple (iOS) devices as well, so it’s probably not related.
I can’t help but feel a better option to the Teeny problem would be to have given him a 24hr task like Stampy has. It could have just been “Skate around Springfield” with no change in animation for all I cared 😛
It just bugged me having him sitting in the corner unused, so I guess that won’t happen anymore…
I wanted a task for him that was “Look for Krusty” and that caused him to just stroll around town. Also wanted a KL task for him and Stampy both, either together or separately, just because a monkey and an elephant seem to belong in KL more than in Springfield.
what does early access usually mean? is it just that, a chance to buy something in advance at a fixed price or is there a discount in purchasing it earlier?
Fixed. Just giving you what it says… early access. Normally you would have to wait until you were on that Game Play Level.
Mr Teeny going to NPC is fine, but they could have left Krusty’s task in place for those who do have Teeny.
I cant find the mystery box…aww man i was enjoying that box….did they take it out or they moved it?
Premium menu, very first item in it (swipe from left to right)
Anyone else missing Jimbo Jones in the premium buy menu?
I was considering buying him tonight but as far as I’m aware he’s nowhere to be found
Could be a level issue. What level are you on?
33, I’ve had the chance to buy him in the past so I don’t think it is
Actually, I just checked the wiki and it says he now requires level 36? Is this a recent change or am I just imagining being able to purchase him before?
Level 36 is when he joined the game, so I don’t believe it’s a recent change. The only change is that now you can’t see locked characters, where before you could
I noticed that you left out the 16 hour “Run Smuggling operation tasks for Fat Tony, Louie, and Legs that came with the Burns State Prison. Pays out $500 and $125 XP.
Those hit during the superhero event. We covered them then 😉
