Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
The Terwilliger Event is upon us and in this First Act Sideshow Bob’s brother, Cecil, has made his return to Springfield! Act One is filled with GMO vegetables, lots of fertilizer, mutant vegetables wandering around Springfield & Mutant Seedlings to torture your neighbors with….
So now that we’ve got ourselves a new event going on, you know what that means right? Time for another Turbo Tappin’! Here’s your guide for who to keep free, and for how long, as the game guides you through what to do during Act One of the Terwilliger Event!
Cecil’s Redemption Pt. 1

After completion the Event will kick off. You’ll start to see the prize icon & new store items
Cecil’s Redemption Pt. 4
Lisa starts
Complete Cecil’s Task– Check out the daily tasks and complete them
Scientophagy Pt. 1
Cletus starts
Make Cletus Make a Donation to Science– 8hrs, Earns 9 Fertelizer, 70xp

Chaos She-ory Pt. 1
Lisa starts
Make Lisa Free the Mutant Vegetables– 1hr, Earns $70, 17xp
Completing this task will unlock the ability for you to tap Mutant Vegetables wandering around your town. They’ll now start spawning in your town and you can tap them for shovels, fertilizer, corn and mutant seeds.
Chaos She-ory Pt. 2
Lisa starts
Deploy Mutant Seedlings in Other Springfields– Visit neighbors and leave them Mutant Seeds.
This task unlocks neighbor actions. So now you’ll be able to leave them seeds as well as tapping mutants in their town.
At this point you’ll see some dialogue from Sideshow Bob popup foreshadowing what’s going to happen as the event unfolds.
The main questline is complete for now. However, you’ll start to get random quest popups. These are going to be reminders to do certain tasks to earn more corn and fertilizer. Every time you clear one a new one will popup so don’t worry about it if you see them continuously popup.
And that concludes the main questline info for this First Act of the Terwilliger Event. Not much to the questline…a lot of basics and explaining what’s going on, as usual.
Remember…we always encourage you NOT to use donuts to speed up the questline. Donuts are always better spent for items instead of speeding up tasks/questlines.
What are your thoughts on the Act One questline for the Terwilliger Event? Thoughts on the prizes/crafting items offered for Act One? Are you excited for the upcoming Terwilliger characters? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
I got through the Cecil pt 1 & 2 and then it stopped.. nothing now. Am I supposed to do something?
Homer needs to be free to trigger the Monsarno build
I started this one late and now it stalled out after Homers advance food science task. Presumably because I haven’t upgraded the Monsarno Facility? Is it normal that I scent collected enough to make a single upgrade yet?
Yup, you’ll need to upgrade to continue. Leveling up guide is here, which will tell you the ways you can earn more corn and fertilizer before you’ve leveled up 🙂

Has anybody else not been able to progress? I got up to Scientophagy pterodactyl 2 and I upgraded my Monsarno to lvl 3 but nothing else has happened. I freed up both Homer and Lisa but they’re not triggering any additional quests
You upgraded and completed the task for Homer at Part 2 correct? For part 3 to trigger, Homer needs to be free. If he’s free and still not triggering it you may have to contact EA (has Homer isn’t a character you can store and replace)
Krusty task to promote CORNSUMERISM doesn’t earn corn?
Not for this eent…
If you will reach neighbor visits for event currency within 24 hours, but not yet, tap one each town to freeze the time,(for me this am) get the other 2 taps soon as you are able (for me tonight).
Well, maybe…that will only work for getting *some* event currency if you have fewer than 90 neighbors. Remember, only the first 90 taps in a 24-hour period earn event currency, so, if you’ve already one-tapped 90 neighbors, you’ll have already used up the 90 taps that would have earned you event currency for that 24-hour period.
Trust me on this…I just found this out from personal experience today (and it totally made sense, once I realized what had happened).
I just finished Sending Cletus off as part of Scientophagy Pt. 1, haven’t started Pt. 2 with Homer, yet. However, I am able to tap on Mutant Vegetables already! So, something is out of order.
Do we know the rate of appearance of Mutant Veggies?
Yup…something’s is off for sure. Happy glitch lol
I believe it’s 1/10m
I,too, have little chubby green blobs in my town that I can tap. Im on scientophagy pt. 2
I am utterly confused by the update and trying not to get frustrated. Which thread is the easiest to give me all the run down. How do you get corn? How soon can i visit friends and get items in their towns? how do you upgrad the rsearch center ? My build finished at 930 and I only got 2 tasks in Before I started fresh at 12. Feeling very behind
Best place for the full rundown and basics on everything is the rundown post…
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/04/14/terwilliger-update-has-arrived/
Try not to let it frustrate you. Lots of layers to this, but once you’ve got a basic understanding it makes more sense 🙂
Is it safe to assume that I can send characters that don’t appear to have event related task off on their 24 hr task so that I don’t have to bother with them? For example, when I pull up Luann I see that she doesn’t have any active or non-active (greyed out) event task, so I assume she will not have any pop up tasks that will earn corn or fertilizer. For me this is a good way to narrow down my characters to just who I need for the event.
Yea, you can do that for now. Double check with the groups (in the daily task) since that’s who will get tasks but there are some that you won’t need to use. Those you can just send on 24hr tasks.
I’m not in love with this event so far. It seems convoluted and it’s taking waaay too long to progress. EA nailed it with the Superhero event and now…
Only day 3. Remember it’s one of the longest events EA’s ever done. So slow going at first is ok.
Ok, brain hurting but I think I have my tactics, please, comments/suggestions 😉
Keep CBG/Wolfcastle/Rod/Tod/Quimby/Grandpa free for daily tasks.
As Monsarno upgrades, progressively send groups to earn (except above charactets).
Get to Monsarno Lvl 3, and Chaos-sheory 2 before tapping neighbourinos for more bonus points…
Those are 5 I have listed in Daiky Task Post and yes. 😉
Ta Bunny, what would we do without you guys 😉
Panicked, probably like most, getting my head around it all, but once you separate the different bits its pretty much a culmination of the bits everyone mostly liked about the bigger events.
I had the same list of characters I thought I was going to use, until I realized that some of them could be out earning fertilizer for me, so maybe I don’t want to use those ones for daily tasks. I have a lengthier post about that somewhere else…I’m sure you’ll see it! At any rate, if/when I figure out a better strategy, I’ll let you know! 🙂
I saw that today also. My strategy is kind of “beautiful mind” weird but to the extend daily tasks are done, anyone is usable until midnight to earn items. The others I just kind of figure out who is like them (cbg is a brain and glutton, replace him with 2 non item earners). As it progresses my brain will likely explode and I’ll just click and pray.
There’s a certain amount of irony involved in having Flanders condemn science at this point in the game!
OK I am I little confused/frustrated on this one. So we need the research plant at level 3 before we can tap plants in neighbors Springfield? And we need 300 fertilizer to do that? I used a few sprinkles to speed up to level 2 but really don’t want to waste 15, will I really have enough time to complete quests if I don’t? at
9 per 8 hours tasks seems like a long shot. By the way never had to speed up or by the liscence before to complete. Not feeling very happy 🙁 but love having the Terwilligers.
Send Dimwits to earn Fertilizer frequently. More tips on how to get the items to level up before you level up can be found here

Hi
Question, do I have to upgrade Monsarno to level 3 before Lisa protest playing God starts?
Yes. That task won’t trigger until you’ve completed the one before it. And the one before it is upgrade to level 3
For scienctophagy part 3, homer starts to trigger, do I need homer to be free? I am wondering whether u can send him off to earn fertiliser on the 8 hrs quest.
I need to wait another 4 hrs to get the ferts n corns needed to upgrade research CTR to finish part 3. Homer is free now.
In TSTO the character that triggers the quest needs to be free in order to trigger the quest. if they’re not free the quest won’t trigger until they’re free. So yup, Homer needs to be free if he’s the trigger.
I’m at the tap on plants in neighbor’s springfields task but after I do it it doesn’t count that I completed it so I can’t progress??
There is no tap on plants in neighbor’s springfield task. It’s leave them seedlings.
“Deploy Mutant Seedlings in Other Springfields– Visit neighbors and leave them Mutant Seeds.”
You need to leave them seedlings for that task to complete (to leave them seedlings tap on the icon in the top right corner of your neighbor’s town. You only need to leave one for it to complete.
Also, that’s the last task…so there’s nothing to progress after that right now. So don’t panic that you’re missing something.
I’m 100% confused. The only task I have right now is to upgrade the whatever center to level 3 but idk how to earn anything required to upgrade it and Cecil has completely disappeared from my game…help?
Did you follow this questline? Did you have the necessary Characters free to trigger the tasks? Lisa? Homer? 😉
You have to get enough corn and fertlizer in order to upgrade. You can get fertilizerbby sending the dimwits to complete an 8 hr task in the research building. Read the posts carefully, they do an amazing job explaining😊
I seem to be in the same boat. I followed the questline and had Lisa and Homer free assuming Lisa would start her 4 hour thing and then go on to her one hour thing. Nothing triggered. All I can do now is wait to upgrade the Monsarno to level 3 before Lisa starts the next part? I put Homer on 8 hours of making ferts while I sleep it off…. Wait, Cletus is still making a donation to science…. There I go!!! I will pick it up in the morning and not loose any sleep over it… @#*&&^#@!!! (Life ruining fun…)
My game updated, I got Cecil. But I don’t see Cecil’s tasks or the the Monsarno Research in my Store…is this a bug?
No you need to progress through the questline, as the post above says. Once you get Cecil he’ll have a 4hr task. And then you’ll need LISA free, she’ll trigger a 1hr task for 4 Springfielders. Once that’s done you’ll need HOMER free, he’ll trigger the Monsarno build. You won’t see anything additional in your store until you complete those tasks. Follow the questline of the very post you’re commenting on. 🙂
My only issue so far is that I had no idea the event had started until yesterday! I know it has caught more than just me off guard…so I’m hoping because I have missed a full day, that I will be able to still gather all the prizes😳
Sideshow Bob is still randomly appearing in my town to be captured 😆
Wonder if I can have playable SSB and a random SSB in my town at the same time…?
We’ll have to wait and see…
Honestly, is it even possible to harvest all the items? The prizes are possible but for the farmers market, grass and such……
As you unlock more characters, yes.
To my wonderful neighbours, I’m going to delay my visits until tomorrow morning (UK time) – I should be geared up for event-related visits by then.
Happy tappin’!
OK, so I fell asleep about 30 minutes before I was due to send my dimwits to earn some more fertiliser. Darn.
It means my visits will be further delayed. Sorry but, if it’s any consolation, I bet I’m more annoyed about it than you!
I’m stuck on Scientology part 1. Homer finished advancing food science but I can’t move on until I upgrade the Monsarno building to level 3 but I don’t have enough fertilizer and no more tasks are being prompted. How do you advance from there?
Some characters will already have tasks to earn fertilizer. Keep sending those characters to earn more.
Im having the same dilemma, sighz! I sent everyone that can earn fertilizer to do so. I also think when you earn the second prize(200 fertilizers) it will bump us up a bit. We need more shovels to earn this, but its not many of them. Patience i guess…😁😁…So the 200 plus everyone earning= level 3
I’m the same, but you’ll eventually get the 2nd prize which is 200 fertilisers and keep sending the people on the 8hr job to earn 9 each – it’ll soon add up
Finally, im on level 3😊3😊my goal is to start neighbour visit task tonight😊
The ONE DAY I don’t check the site, and I think, oh–“nothing is going on I will just send everyone on a 24hr task, and there was no IN-game updates soooo I will be safe” ( I think in bad grammar 😉 ) And when I got up this morning I realized that I missed a entire day already and Lisa is doing homework until 9:00pm tonight!!!
Yeah, I found today, after putting everyone on 8 hr. tasks, when I went to a friend’s town and it said they had newer content! Sigh. Not as bad as 24 hr, but…hate starting late. I blame TQFS taking all my attention! 🙂
do we know if the cletus farm will be used? i currently have 21 days left on some corn…
It’s not used for Act One.
Hmmmm…
I can kinda understand EA not releasing more land as we got some not too long ago, however to release another Squidport building without more Squidport tiles?! Do they want me to have to store buildings? Maybe this is their way of keeping the item count down, just don’t give us anywhere to put them. *grumble*
I grumble here also. With more land comes more water but no tiles to expand. I cannot add to my Squidport without cramping, so I don`t.
I’m SO bummed out. I played multiple times yesterday and had no idea about the update. It auto-updated this morning and now I’m way behind. Will I be able to catch up on daily tasks?
Don’t worry about the daily tasks. They’re just a way to earn extra currency. Once the day is over that days task is gone. Don’t use donuts to rush it either. Don’t panic about it either. It’s just something to help you earn more. Play at your pace. You’re not behind.
Hi everybody! Two questions : I got a pop up saying mutant seeds had been harvested and a list of ingredients for me. Is that a reward to me when my neighbors pop the fat green things I left them? Second, is there a breakdown of the Monsanto building upgrades ( what you get when it upgrades . ). I’m guessing we have to trade off crafting swag faith crafting building upgrades? Great job guys.
All in main post. 😉
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/04/14/terwilliger-update-has-arrived/
How many shovels are we permitted to get from our friends?
Thank you.
Not all of my friends upgraded so i can’t tell quite yet. But my guess is like everything else…90 actions/day.
So much info…. Thanks guys 🙂
Sorry if you’ve covered this……to upgrade the building and craft items it’s the same ‘currency’ so should you upgrade first then craft or is here a particular method to it? hope you can help 🙂
Upgrading helps you earn more items. So my thought process is on upgrading first.
I completed the 4hr task and the 1hr task, but now Cecil is untapable, and no new quests…want one else have this happen? What’s going on?
Anyone*
You need Homer free for part 3 that will trigger the build for the research center.
I ended up buying the Swordfish Museum and It’s a Wonderful Knife. I was so thankful the knife store could fit in Squidport and the museum is small enough to fit in other areas of my town. I’m almost out of land, but I don’t like storing buildings. I hope some new land is on the way soon if there will be more cool buildings like these.
