Hey there Mischief Makers.
Another interesting Event has launched into our games, with some pretty interesting twists n turns. Of course with New Events comes New Ways to go and Visit your Neighboreenos. But where to start?
Before we get started, let’s recap WHERE in the questlines you need to be in order to be able to visit Friends.
- Monsarno Research needs to Upgraded to Level 3
- Cecil’s Redemption has to be done (Parts 1-4)
- Scientophagy has to be done (Parts 1 & 2)
- Chaos She-ory has to be done (Parts 1 &2) Part 2 sends you to Neighbors to see how it works.
Once ALL that is done, then you get to go mess round in the Neighbors.
HOW MANY ACTIONS DO I HAVE IN NEIGHBORS?
Similar to previous events, you will be limited on how many times total you can tap items and earn Material as you pass through Neighbor to Neighbor. For Act One, you will have a Total of 90 Daily Actions every 24hrs.
Each Neighbor has the option of 3 taps per Neighbor on Mutant Veggies every 24hrs
Mutant Veggies: Each one tapped pays out $, XP, FP (if you are not at MAX Level), and 1 Spade
. This is essentially your “Building” tap. So NO, your Neighbor will not know you visited them and tapped on them.
Recap: 90 actions, Paying out 1 Spade each, every 24 hrs (Roughly 30 Neighbors)
WHAT IF THERE IS NOTHING TO TAP?
If you are seeing nothing at all when you go into a Neighbors town, it means you have already used up your 90 actions for the day and have to wait until your 24hrs resets. Once it resets, you will be able to go back in and start over.
Other option is they have not updated to the proper questline completions to start the Terwilliger Event in their game.
Best to check the Main Neighbor Screen (like above). If you only see zeroes on the counts, there is a good chance they are not ready for the Event. So take caution when tapping in those towns.
FRIEND POINTS FROM TAPPING ON MUTANT VEGGIES
Some of you may still be working on those Friend Point Prizes in your game, so you relied on tapping Neighbors Buildings to get the extra FP you need.
For this Terwilliger Event, the Mutant Veggies are acting as Buildings. That means you will get the FP from the Mutant Veggies instead of Buildings for Act One.
Here is how the Friend Points (FP) will break down daily.
10 First 30 Daily Actions (Approx 10 Neighbors)
5 Next 30 Actions (Approx 10 Neighbors)
4 Next 30 Actions (Approx 10 Neighbors)
2 Next 30 Actions (Approx 10 Neighbors)
1 Next 180 Actions (Approx 60 Neighbors)
So for a total of 100 Neighbors tapped in a 24 hr time period you can earn 810 Friend Points. That means MAX FP Level in no time at all.
That will push you to Level 16 and MAX when you complete collection for the Canyonero. Giving you TRIPLE Payout on Daily Actions and back to Random Pink Sprinklies.
FREE DONUTS FROM MUTANT VEGGIES
This is something that has been long going on in the game and a pretty cool way to earn some Free Donuts from just tapping through Neighbors.
First off, you need to make sure your Friend Point (FP) Level is at MAX. The current Level now is 16.
If you are at MAX FP Level, as you make your way through Neighbor Daily Actions on the Mutant Veggies, keep tapping. Don’t stop at just the 90 Actions. Depending on how many Neighbors you have, you can get anywhere from 1 up to 6 (which is most I got in one day) Free Donuts. Not bad for just tapping on through.
Again, these will ONLY come from Mutant Veggie AND ONLY if you are at the MAX FP Level in your game.
WHAT ABOUT VANDALISM ON THE BUILDINGS?
If your Neighbor is not fully into the Event any buildings you tap Spray Paint on will trigger the Vandalism.
If they are fully into the Event , then you do not need to worry as you will ONLY be tapping on Mutant Veggies. Vandalism will not happen..
So if you both are updated, Vandalism will NOT be an issue this Event. 🙂
HOW CAN I GET MORE SPADES FROM NEIGHBORS?
If you want to spend some of your Donuts to help you in getting MORE Spade from you 90 Daily Neighbor Actions, then invest in the Farming License. The Farming License will double ONLY your 90 Daily Neighbor Actions tapping Mutant Veggies. So with the purchase, you can get 180 Spades Daily.
WHAT ABOUT MUTANT SEEDLINGS?
Mutant Seedlings
You can get Mutant Seedlings two ways…
By clearing the Mutant Veggies in your town. There is a RARE chance one will pop up. But if you are in your town often, you can get a few each day.
By spending Donuts to purchase them. (Though we always suggest to think hard before spending those sprinklies. Is it REALLY worth it to you?) These options will unlock once you complete all listed at top of this post and will remain in your Event Menu for the Terwilligers.
25 Mutant Seeds, 10 Donuts
10 Mutant Seeds, 5 Donuts
5 Mutant Seeds, 3 Donuts
1 Mutant Seed, 1 Donut
HOW MANY MUTANT SEEDLINGS CAN I GIVE?
MAX Mutant Seedlings you can Drop Off.
This is the amounts you can leave when visiting and the time you have for them to be squished.
10 Total to each Neighbor (4hr timer to payout)
5 Total to the OTHER Springfield (24 hr timer to payout)
So it is BETTER for you to leave the Mutant Seedlings at a Neighbors vs the OTHER Springfield. As 4hrs gives you faster payout then 24hrs. Not to mention you are limited to only 5 there vs 10 in each Neighbors.
You will also be able to tell how many out of the 10 possible you can drop in their town by looking at the icon in the upper Right corner of the Neighbor Screen. 
If your Neighbors town is already FULL with Mutant Seedlings, you will see this message…
WHAT BECOMES OF THE MUTANT SEEDLINGS?
Mutant Seedling once dropped into a town
MAX of 10 in your town at a time
You may have already seen some of these guys bouncing round your town from a Neighbor already at this point. This is what the Seed turns into as soon as you drop it into your Neighbors town.
Now as for squishing them, it is beneficial to BOTH of you to tap them as soon as you see them. If you wait too long, ONLY your Neighbor will benefit from leaving them there. You have 4 hrs from the time they are left to get them.
Not to mention you can’t have more than 10 at a time, so clearing them fast makes room for other Neighbors to be able to drop them.
WHAT IS THE PAYOUT ON THE MUTANT SEEDLINGS?
If you squish the Mutant Seedling bouncing round your town BEFORE 4hrs, both You & Your Neighbor that left it will get ONE of the following Materials
ONE of the following
 Corn |
8 |
 Fertilizer |
8 |
| Spades |
4 |
OR
4 Spades and Occasionally One of the following…
| Corn |
8 |
| Fertilizer |
8 |
===
If you do NOT squish the Mutant Seedling within 4 hours and they disappear for good, ONLY Your Neighbor will get ONE of the following Materials Breakdowns…
ONE of the following
| Corn |
4 |
| Fertilizer |
4 |
| Spades |
2 |
OR
2 Spades and Occasionally One of the following…
| Corn |
4 |
| Fertilizer |
4 |
and YOU GET NOTHING.
In other words SQUISH THEM. This way you both get something from the drop. As far as WHAT you might get, the Spades tend to be Rare and the Corn & Fertilizer more Common.
These guys usually first appear in the Sidewalk or Boardwalks of Springfield, but will quickly bounce off. Just like Sideshow Bob, they will disappear into Buildings and Decorations. So get them while you can. 
WHAT DO I GET FOR TAPPING ON MUTANT VEGGIES IN MY TOWN?
Mutant Veggies
Spawn at least 1 every 10 mins
40 MAX in your town at one time
There is NO Bank on this one, so once you reach MAX no more will spawn till you clear some out and wait another 10 mins for more to come. So roughly under 7 hours (if only 1 spawns at a time, still looking into it) you are looking at hitting your MAX of 40.
They roam all over town and will hide behind Buildings and Decorations. So use your “Movement Menu” to shut down all the items but Characters, then scan your town to see if you can locate any hidden.
Mutant Veggies Payout (there are 4 different ones, and so far I have seen no real pattern of one paying out better than the others).
7 Spades
Plus ONE out of the Following…
| Corn |
4 |
| Fertilizer |
4 |
 Mutant Seed |
1 |
As for your 2nd item… the Corn, Fertilizer, and Mutant Seeds… the Corn & Fertilizer seemed more common. The Mutant Seeds more rare. So these totals will vary by each player, but will add some much needed Materials to your list as well as earn you MORE by giving you Mutant Seeds to drop into your Neighbors.
I want to say I average the following Daily, YOUR results will vary though.
60+ Corn
50+ Fertilizer
6+ Mutant Seeds
LEADERBOARD?
The Leaderboard is back again. It is there mainly more for fun to go against your Neighbors for the top spot. You will move up and down the Leaderboard by Mutant Seedlings. Squishing them in your town, dropping them off, and having a Neighbor Squish yours.
Still verifying the drops on these, will post when done.
DO I HAVE TO LEAVE MONEY ON MY BUILDINGS FOR MY NEIGHBORS TO TAP?
Maybe just for a bit, til weekend. Just to give your Neighbors time to Updgrade too and still have something to tap on in the meantime. Once you start to see them all switching out in the Main Neighbor Screen and showing Material counts, then feel free to clear them all.
There you have the basics of Visiting Neighbors and clearing their taps in your town. Want a bit more detail on Springfield tapping? See the MATH POST HERE.
What do you think of Act One so far? Are you visiting just yet? If not, how close are you? Have you hit your FP MAX again yet? If so, any Pink Sprinklies yet? Lol. Let us know.
~Bunny
@katg – Are you still unable to send a friend request to me? I have a spot available for you, if you can send me a request. (Handle is the same as here, except without the space.)
Not sure if this has been asked earlier? I’ve just levelled up the Research building to Level 7, and at the moment am about two days ahead of Bunny’s calendar with my trowel collecting. Am I best to keep my mutant seeds for phase 2 of the event so I can get a head start collecting new items generated then, or are the mutant seeds redundant in phase 2 so I’m better to share them around my neighbours? Any advice would be well received. Big thank you to you guys for all the info you’re posting on this event
It’s up to you really. I’m saving them, BUT i’m still trying to give them to neighbors that give them to me. So they’ll continue to be nice and leave them for me…even when Act 2 starts.
Hi Alissa – I’ve noticed you say on a couple occasions that you’re saving your mutant seeds until act 2 (other than when you’re returning favors). Can you please go into a little more detail about the rationale for saving them? In other words, why not just send them out as soon as you get them to cash in on the fertilizer, corn, etc. I can’t see any reason to save them unless they will be worth more in act 2, but maybe I’m missing something. Thanking you in advance.
I don’t need them right now. I’m earning lots of stuff without sending Mutant seeds, so I’d rather save them for later in the event when things get more difficult (as they always tend to)
two questions…
1) do I have to leave corn stalks roaming for my neighbors to click or is it like the superheroes event where they get generated as a person visits?
2) does any action for the event take place in krustyland? can I clear all the tickets as they come up? and no mutants will be there to clear in my town or my neighbors?
1. No, tap away in your own town all you want.
2. I’ve seen absolutely nothing come up in K-Land when visiting.
Does anyone know if the plants are similar to the criminals in that they will eventually all kinda drift toward you and collect around you if you stay in one spot?
They do for me. I’m always keeping an eye on my research centre and it doesn’t take long for the creepy corn to come and find me.
But the blobs that neighbours drop don’t – as far as I can tell
Apologies to any friends who may have left mutant seedlings if I didn’t return the favor…While I’m easily on within every 4 hours to smash them (except from 2 am to 8 am est), these older eyes are struggling to see the tiny white font scrolling rapidly up the screen to see who sent them. I think I got all but one name up until now, but the last name escaped me

Thank you everyone who advised me as a new player to get stuck in to my first event. I’m loving it! Despite not having many characters yet, I manage to keep up and enjoy visiting my neighbours most & leaving a present behind. Thanks to everyone leaving me a mutant seedling or two. I try to always send some back but apologise if i miss, as I don’t always catch the name. I love chasing these little devils around my town. Great event – very addictive!
Most of all, I love this community & all the help & support you give each other. Thanks xx
I just want to point out that you have a material count on the friends screen long before you actually get upgraded to the event neighbor visit.
The best way I have found to tell if someone has upgraded is to go into the town and see if MY materials count shows in the lower left. If not, I can save my time looking for little walking corn stalks that arent there and just move on to the next town.
Hey swiss wavey, just wondering what you heard back about your missing seed issue? I’m bothered by my situation from last night of 3 seeds gone missing. Just wondering if I should do something about it or let it go and forget about it…
Honestly EA are being soooo unhelpful about it it’s ridiculous. I think they’ve acknowledged that there might be a problem, but they’re so vague about it it’s hard to be sure. Basically, I don’t know what’s going on. They’ve closed all my support cases but they did send me this in an email:
“Please let me share that I consulted our specialists regarding this to find that this might be a result of a bug in game. Hence, I have sent a report regarding same to our concerned team”
Thank you for all the help the other day Bunny. I am wondering is it better to craft items or level up? I ando level 4 but also have enough for the cane fields. Thanks again
Level up. And details as to why are here
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/04/15/terwilligers-guide-to-leveling-up-monsarno-research-act-one/
Is anyone else not getting any mutant seedlings in their town? I’ve yet to see one in two days and I always have visitors in my town. Feel I’m doing something wrong.
Could just be their not leaving any. Or you’re missing them. They only stay in your town for 4hrs and then disappear.
I’ve read a few references to sending mutant seed pods to neighbor towns in reply to them sending them your way. Seems like a fair exchange, but I’m wondering, how do you know who sent the seed? Out-of-game communication? I can’t see anything about the seeds I’ve received that says who they’re from.
They were saying it was sent by…. is it not showing any longer?
Didn’t notice anything before, but I don’t have any scuttling seedlings to confirm with right now. Just sent out about 10 to see what comes back, and turned on notifications in case that has anything to do with it. Was it happening when they were squashed?
It would say RIP mutant seedling left by….
It’s still displaying. A tiny bit of print scrolls up across your screen from the seed, same as when a neighbor taps one of your buildings and the name scrolls up, except it scrolls MUCH faster. I was having problems seeing it, too. Tip: move your screen so when you tap the seed, it’s closer to the bottom. It gives you a little extra space to read the name as it scrolls up. It’s so fast and so tiny that if I tap (on iphone5) when the seed is at the middle or at the top of the screen, I can’t catch the name- it disappears too quickly. Good luck, and happy tapping!
I just want to let my neighbours know I am sorry I haven’t been as active the last few days. I am in the middle of exams, but my last one is later today and then I can get back to my tsto addiction!! I just unlocked the ability to drop seedlings, so watch out!! 😉 Thanks~
I don’t see anywhere that says how many spades I have left for the day as you can normally see in these events. Am I overlooking it? I never know how close I am to hitting my 90 daily friend visit spades since some friends’ veggies drop them and some don’t. Help, please? Sorry if this has already been covered. And thanks for the awesome site! 🙂
There’s no countdown with this update. You’ll just have to count and watch to see when the spades stop dropping. If you’re doing 3 actions/neighbor just count out to 30 neighbors and that should be when they stop dropping.
Is there a point to skip frinds who don’t have mutants in their town the first time round to make sure I get max event currency? A few friends still only have houses to tap and I’m wondering if they count towards my 90 mutants a day?
Yes, don’t tap houses if you can tap mutants
Still waiting to visit neighbours (grrr!). From your list of the four quests, is there anyway to see how far along I am (and how much longer this is going to take)?
Check out the walkthrough post, see where you are in it and then you’ll be able to tell how much longer you have
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/04/14/turbo-tappin-terwilligers-act-one/
Thank you for writing this article as I think all Tappers currently enjoying the new Event should give it a read. Visiting Neighboreenos will be essential, so I went through my Neighbor list to eliminate those Tappers who have not played in over a week (participation is essential in this game app during Events, you know I appreciate my active Neighboreenos – but it’s always sad to lose those who are no longer actively playing) …..
Actually in this event active neighbours aren’t of much benefit. At least not yet.
Well, having 30 neighbours who have installed the upgrade is useful, but beyond that you don’t get any benefit – except a bit more cash and (if you’re maxed out on FP) a chance for a free donut or two.
How can you say that? If your neighbor isn’t active, there’s no chance of you getting seeds from them!
For everyone feeling stressed because it takes so long to reach level 3…
I was too, but finally reached it LAST night, and TONIGHT I am level 5 and half way to 6… Like the gang here has posted, things speed up… Relax and enjoy the ride…This is one time that “waiting ain`t no thing”…
So the leader board is purely your squishiness factor?
Inactive squishiness of you AND your neighbourinos means a lower score?
still playing around with it
Arrgghh! The pressure! So few seeds, so many great neighbourinos!
What to do! The dilema!
As I’ve started to get to know so many of my neighbourinos recently the only way I could figure is to try and payback those that seed me, but then I feel guilty about not acknowledging my fellow tappers here 🙁
I try to remember who dropped seeds on me and send them one, but some I don’t see fast enough and some I just don’t have seeds. I love all my neighbors and feel bad also wish I had more to go around!
I hear you! I’ve not been getting enough seeds so far to repay my generous neighbors and I was stressing about that until I noticed that my next Monsarno building prize is 50 seeds. So, hopefully, when I get that, I’ll be able to do some catching up!
Collected my 50. Spent my 50. Have since amassed a ‘debt’ of a further 27.
My only consolation is that the ones I think I owe already got their benefit by the fact that I spotted them and squished them (therefore full rewards for both of us). It’s the people who sent me seeds that I missed that I feel sorry for. We both missed out and I don’t even know who they are to give anything back.
Question, you say the leader board is calculated on the seeds you leave in neighbors town and also what they leave you….providing you squish them. I’ve had very few seeds to drop and I’ve only had less than 10 dropped in my town and yet my points are quite high. I’m quite surprised to see where I am in the standings to be honest. What’s your take on this? And….thank you so much for all your hard work posting everything to guide us through this event, I’d be totally lost without it so thank you, thank you, thank you! 🌹
still trying to fully figure out the leaderboard
Been trying as well, the squishiness seems to be the major contributor. I’ve just received my 50 seed bonus, will see how it affects the rating once distributed (finally, can pay back the generosity of neighbourinos 😉
So I dropped 3 seeds in my girlfriend’s town and they never showed up on her end… What gives? She thinks I put them in another town by mistake but I’m positive I was in her town. Should I contact EA?
They’re REALLY hard to find at times. They bounce all around and go in and out of buildings. It’s possible she’s just missing them.
Not it’s not that- they’re not as hard to find as the skinny mutant plants, though I do agree they disappear and reappear- we spent enough time looking for them, even went to kland and back and logged off and back on and they were still not there. To make things more confusing I sent a 4th seed and that one came thru just not the first three.
Are there mutants in her town just with no names attached to them?
Maybe there really is a problem.
I hadn’t had a seed dropped for hours and I got a pop up saying Sandra had dropped mutant seeds. It’s not just a (very) late message because I hadn’t seen Sandra’s name on any seeds I cleared.
I have scanned my town, and Krustyland, literally about 100 times, about 30 of those with the move button pressed and everything but characters blanked out. There is no sign of the mutant seed.
I’ve logged off twice, gone to Krustyland and back, visited neighbours, even rebooted – nada. It aint there.
I’m chatting with EA Help right now – there IS a problem – they admit to having received a lot of complaints about it…
Not sure if it’s that or if it’s just that suddenly the names disappeared from them.
I’m having a problem on the other end. I dropped 10 seeds in my B town to upgrade to level 3 and get fully into the event. The mutants showed up in the B town and I cleared them, but I never got a mutants cleared message in my main town. It doesn’t seem like the spades and corn ever registered in my main game.
And 4 hours later, the cleared message popped up in my A game, paying out as if the mutants timed out without being tapped. So, now I’m feeling bad for thinking my neighbors were not tapping the mutants I’ve been dropping in their towns. It’s just a little EA glitchiness.
after reading all the problems here of others,i still have no idea on how to get anything from neighbors as i have visited 202 neighbors since this event started i haven’t got anything so there must be a task to start it,otherwise there will be insufficient items to upgrade as well as get any of the bonus’s
You need to unlock friend actions. Are you seeing mutant veggies in their towns when you visit? If you’re seeing mutant veggies to tap, wait until every single neighbor you have has their timer reset to 3 actions. Once every neighbor resets then go in again and see if you’ll get the spades. Remember, the spades pop out under the money so you may not see them.
IF you aren’t seeing mutant veggies, instead you see icons over buildings like normal, you haven’t unlocked the friend actions yet. In which case you need to level up to level 3 and follow the questline. Details on the questline can be found here
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/04/14/turbo-tappin-terwilligers-act-one/
HI guys.
A few more questions sorry :/
1. I have several neighbours (about 30) that have not started the event. I said at the beginning, I wouldn’t delete neighbours but give them a chance to get started. When I say not started I don’t just mean counters at 0, I mean not even a building in the build process. Although when I check it says they have been online hrs ago…..surely they would know there had been an update by now if they were online…. does this mean they are just viewing their own town and clearing it and not visiting neighbours?
2. I think i read alissa saying that she saves seeds….is there a benefit of doing this ?? At first I was just placing them in towns that had already placed them in mine.
3. Do you know how the leader board works? Not that I expect to be high as I have some amazing neighbours who are active and are further than myself, just curious to see if my many non active neighbours are hindering my progress.
Think that’s all my questions for now.
🙂
1. Probably. Hard to say exactly what’s going on with those neighbors. Give it till the end of the weekend, if they have’t updated by then, then you know something is up.
2. Depends on how you play. I save them up to disburse evenly when I need them. Right now i’m cruising along well enough to not need them as much. I still drop them in towns when neighbors leave them for me, but for the most part i’m saving up.
3. I believe it’s 10 points for every one you leave and every one you squish. But we’re still looking into it more.
Thanks again. I will give them another few days. Just thought it was really strange and they are level 51. At the end of the weekend I think i will have a clear out. If they haven’t started the event by then, then they clearly aren’t aware of the event therefore nor visiting neighbours to get the pop up. No visits = bad neighbours. I usually give a week to neighbours who haven’t been active unless I know they visit me regular so keep them longer encase they are on holiday or something.
Thanks for the advice on the seeds I only unlock level 3 yesterday morning and got 6 seeds and now this morning I have another 5 Seeds so I’m not getting a lot to save so will prob just repay the ones that dropping them on me 🙂
the game is moving so much better after level 3, can’t believe the difference. Will be at level 5 in an hour.
🙂
@suziekelly83 — Although I have posted below about how some of my neighbors probably won’t put a lot of effort into this event, I’ve also noticed that when a major event starts in the middle of the week, some folks really don’t start playing it until the weekend when they have time to get in and figure out what is going on. That said, you may see some movement this weekend.
As for any neighbors who show active but who aren’t participating in the event and aren’t visiting, they either never (or very rarely) visit neighbors (and haven’t seen the “newer content” message), or they don’t know how to do a manual app update.
As of today more of my neighbours have started building the research building which is good. So down to about 12 who haven’t but have recently been active. Will wait to see how it goes tomorrow.
But like you said, appears some just don’t visit regular Or they would know there is an update. I am no where near the tasks for level 51 so understand that I will play more often than most neighbours which doesn’t bother me too much In normal play. but I do expect a visit maybe twice a week which I think is reasonable unless there on holiday etc.
I think it’s fair if you want people to tap your buildings then tap back 🙂
Help help help….. I got my building to level 3 but can’t figure out what to do to activate friend visits. Sorry for blowing up but I need help now.
Homer needs to be free for the next part. There’s a step by step guide of who to keep free, when and what it triggers in the walkthrough post. Check it out here
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/04/14/turbo-tappin-terwilligers-act-one/
the crafting page shows that new items will appear in x days. does that mean everything gets replaced including the market? or just that new items will be added to the crafting pool.
this event is really a struggle to get through. even with your help, it takes a couple days or three to get everything set up (getting monsanto to lvl 3 as well as unlocking the mutant plants to be tappable), i can only imagine the frustration of those who have to go through this alone and having to figure it out on their own.
It doesn’t say items will be replaced, or ending. It just says new items added. My interpretation of that (and based on previous events) is that these items will remain, and new items will be added.
Any reason why my neighbor actions stopped giving spades(taping veggies). i am no wear near 30 neighbor visits either
Did you just update to neighbor actions? Had all of your timers reset?
I’m having the exact same problem…
And I’ve been updated to neighbor actions for two days. 😕
I’m having the same problem as well. It’s really frustrating, especially as EA is not helping. Couldn’t get tech support, just live chat with some clueless person halfway around the world who told me to wait and maybe my shovel total will magically increase when my game syncs later. I don’t think so! Nowhere near the upper end of neighbor visits as I’ve just started.
Do we get the opportunity to earn sideshow bob? Or is he still to he playing peek-a-boo in our towns?
Not in the game yet, he’ll appear later in the event.
Cool thanks 😎
Is it just me or is his outfit darker?
I think it’s his skin coloring, it looks paler…
Frustratingly slow…seems like it will take days to reach level 3…also still upset about the lack of in game info on the update…so a day behind because EA can’t be bothered with an inge notification when it launches…also a little dubious about the crafting which requires the same items needed for Monsanto upgrades…every time they do the crafting i’m worried it will be as useless as the Halloween one…lots of effort to collect things that are ultimately worthless, and lots of items left unbuilt…hopefully it will pick up, but resigned to not progressing far in the prize ladder…I think I’m almost up to the 1st day of the calendar…almost.
I have to say I am updated and received vandalism from a neighbor. I am not to level 3 yet though. So it’s best to assume you will receive vandalism until you get the Monsarno building up to level 3. And I had checked, the friend that vandalized me had 980 spades. So it can’t be just for downloading the event update. Hope that helps because what is in your post explains differently
No. Their spade count means nothing. They probably didn’t unlock neighbor actions yet (ie in the same boat you’re in). Just because they have spades doesn’t mean they’ve unlocked friend actions. Look at your account, you haven’t unlocked friend actions yet and you’ve got spades i’m sure (check over your conform-o-meter starts). It just means that those neighbors haven’t unlocked the event friend actions yet, so they’re still tapping buildings. It will keep happening until they’ve all unlocked friend actions.
But please understand that is what I am saying. What is written in this post leads me to believe as long as the event is downloaded vandalism won’t happen, which is wrong. Yes it says “fully into the event” bit not that the monsarno building has to be at level 3. That is what I am pointing out. Vandalism will still occur even if you have downloaded this update but your building and days friend building is not at level 3.
That’s not what the post says. It says once the event is going vandalism won’t happen. If you don’t have friend actions for mutants, what do you see when you visit them? Icons over buildings (like normal) to tap, correct? You still see spray cans to tap. If your friends haven’t gotten far enough to unlock the friend actions for this event (ie event specific) they’ll see the same thing in your town. Icons and spray cans to tap. So you’ll still get vandalism until THEY have unlocked the friend actions for the event.
Fully into the event, and seeing mutant veggies is what it says. I honestly don’t know how much more clear it could be. If you don’t have friend actions unlocked, you can still vandalize the buildings if you want. ie if your neighbor doesn’t have friend actions unlocked they can still vandalize you. No matter where you are in the event. As the friend actions THEY see when THEY visit your town, are dictated by THEIR progress in the event, not yours.
Sorry for the typos but you get what I mean
if you had questions about what being updated and “fully into the event” meant, the first thing you shoulda done (if you hadn’t already….) was started from the beginning of the post and did a thorough read. you would’ve seen right away at the top, this bit:
the amount of time and effort that is obviously put into super detailed posts like this… only to be criticized by someone that appears to have not read the post in its entirety. must be pretty frustrating stuff…..
this bit (it got commented it out somehow using brackets):
Before we get started, let’s recap WHERE in the questlines you need to be in order to be able to visit Friends.
Monsarno Research needs to Upgraded to Level 3
Cecil’s Redemption has to be done (Parts 1-4)
Scientophagy has to be done (Parts 1 & 2)
Chaos She-ory has to be done (Parts 1 &2) Part 2 sends you to Neighbors to see how it works.
Once ALL that is done, then you get to go mess round in the Neighbors.
If vandalism is troublesome to you, I recommend putting up police training walls in your Springfield. You have to put up quite a few… I cannot remember exactly and it also depends on your level, but you can get your righteousness rating to stay at five stars constantly by this method. Try hiding them behind buildings if you find them too ugly for your taste.
@Chris — I’m assuming that I will see vandalism throughout the event because some of my neighbors don’t seem to put a lot of effort into events, and the only time I think a few of them have ever visited this site was when they posted on the “add me” list a long time ago. This event is going to take effort to understand and to play, so that leaves them out. Near the end of the event, they will buy everything for donuts and go on.
Still getting nowhere with his one, not even started the sheory tasks, and I feel very behind as this game is very slow even if it lasts long the first part only lasts 11 days and if you get nowhere in the first few days it is extremely frustrating, and I have no donuts to speed things up.
Very annoying.
You still trying to level up to level 3?
