Terwilliger Prize Guide: Act 1, Prize 4…Old Simpson Farmhouse

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s Harvest Time in Springfield and the Terwilliger’s have returned to Springfield to unleash Mutant Vegetables on us!  In the First Act of the Terwilliger Event you’ll unlock Cecil Terwilliger, Monsarno Research & help Lisa free the Mutant Veggies all over Springfield!

This Event is broken up into 3 Acts, with each Act containing part of the story.  To help you move along with the event you’ll get several prizes per Act.  Each prize will either be something fun for Springfield or something to help you move along in the event.  For the first Act you’re tasked with collecting Spades/Trowels/Shovels…these things  to unlock each prize!  The second Act 1 prize awarded at 4,200  is the Old Simpson Farmhouse, a new building for your Springfield.

So let’s take a closer look at this old farmhouse and just what happens when you unlock it in your Springfield.

Once you’ve collected 4,200   you’ll automatically be awarded the Farmhouse and you’ll see this message popup:

You’ll have the ability to place the statue in your Springfield immediately or place it in inventory for later (store).  If you store it, remember you’ll have to go into your inventory to retrieve it.

And that’s really it to the second prize.  There’s no questline, no dialogue, nothing telling you to place it in your Springfield to earn more .  Just win the prize and that’s it.

Here are some quick facts about the Old Simpson Farmhouse:

Size: 7×7
Build Time: 24hrs
Conform-O-Meter Impact: Indolence +10
Where Can I Place It?: Grass only
What Does it Earn?: $520, 50xp/ 2days
Does Anyone Use It?: Nope, not currently.

Glitch Alert!
There is an ongoing glitch with the Old Simpson Farm House.  Apparently, if you unlock it and then sign in on a different device you can unlock a second one.  This is a glitch, and not supposed to happen.  Happy glitch if it happens to you 🙂

What’s Next?
Well there are three prizes after the Farmhouse, Mutant Seeds, Fertilizer and Corn.  I’m not going to do separate posts about them as it’s pretty basic.  Once you unlock them it will add more Mutant Seeds to your in game count and Fertilizer or Corn to your Crafting Totals.  (Remember crafting totals can be found at the top of your event hub…Trophy Icon with the knives bottom right.  The totals will be in the top right of the event hub.  While your Mutant Seed count can be found on the bottom left of your main Springfield, just above the Conform-o-Meter stars and right next to your  count)

Here’s a quick breakdown…

 Awarded at 6,000 .  This will add 50 Mutant Seeds to your total Mutant Seed count.  Mutant Seeds can be left in your neighbors towns and will help you both earn more Corn, Fertilizer and .  More details on Mutant Seeds can be found in our neighbor breakdown here.  Also note, to leave Mutant Seeds in your neighbors town you’ll want to look for the seed icon in the top right corner of the screen when you visit a neighbor.  Here’s a look at what that icon will look like.

 Awarded at 7,800 .  This will add 200 Fertilizer to your total Fertilizer count (found in the Event Hub).  This is not a tangible item for Springfield, it’s just 200 Fertilizer added to your total on hand.

 Awarded at 11,000 .  This will add 200 Corn to your total Corn count (found in the Event Hub).  This is not a tangible item for Springfield, it’s just 200 Corn added to your total on hand.

Next Tangible Prize for Springfield…

 Pet Mutant Plant awarded at 16,050 .  This will be the next prize we cover in a prize rundown post.

So that my friends is the full breakdown of the Old Simpson Farmhouse!
