Terwilliger Prize Guide: Act 2, Prize 4…Minimum Security Prison

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 Second Act of the Terwilliger Event you’ll unlock Dr. Terwilliger, find Sideshow Bob & try not to go crazy collecting all sorts of stuff to craft prizes in 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 second Act you’re tasked with collecting Gas Masks!  The fourth Act 2 prize awarded at 4,200  is the Minimum Security Prison, an all new building for your Springfield.

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

WARNING…Dialogue Spoilers Ahead…

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

You’ll have the option to place in Springfield or store it in your inventory.  If you choose to place it, it’s a 24hr Build.  If you choose to store it, you will have to go into your inventory to retrieve it.

And that’s really it to the fourth prize.  Initially, 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.

HOWEVER…..once you unlock Sideshow Bob (at the conclusion of the Act 2 main questline..walkthrough here) you will get a questline that’ll popup telling you to place it.  Here’s the details on the questline:

Again…this will not start until you have unlocked Sideshow Bob

Still Secure
Wiggum starts

Wiggum: Another life sentence for you, Sideshow Bob.  How many have you served now?
Sideshow Bob: Oh, five or six.  I’m always getting out on some technicality, or escaping by swapping faces with someone else.
Wiggum: Well you won’t be escaping this prison, I promise you! Because it’s minimum security, tennis courts, research library, gastro-pub… I wish they’d lock me up in there!
Lou: You just keep doingw hat you’re doing, you’ll be there soon enough, Chief.
Wiggum: Aw thanks, Lou, nice of you to say that.
Place Minimum Security Prison- 24hr Build
Make Sideshow Bob Serve a Life Sentence- 4hrs, Earns $175, 45xp
Sideshow Bob: What, I’m out of prison already?
Wiggum: There are cutbacks.  But don’t worry, we’re still keeping the really dangerous prisoners locked up.  Isn’t that right, Otto, you sacked-out druggo?! 

Here are some quick facts about the Prison:

Size: 11×10
Conform-O-Meter Impact: Righteousness +10
Where Can I Place It?: Grass/Pavement
Build Time: 24hrs
Payout: $200, 20xp/12hrs
What Does it Do?: Just another building for Springfield, however it will be used by Sideshow Bob in his 4hr task.  So not bad to keep around so you can send SSB on his task there.

What’s Next?
Well there are three prizes after the Prison, Corn, Mutant Seedlings and DNA.  I’m not going to do separate posts about them as it’s pretty basic.  Once you unlock them it will add more Corn and DNA to your Crafting Totals and more Mutant Seeds (ie Jelly Blobs) to your count.  (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)

Here’s a quick breakdown…

 Awarded at 6,000 .  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.

 Awarded at 7,800 .  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, DNA 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 11,000 .  This will add 200 DNA to your total DNA count (found in the Event Hub).  This is not a tangible item for Springfield, it’s just 200 DNA added to your total on hand.

Next Tangible Prize for Springfield…

 Dr. Robert Terwilliger 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 yet another Prison for Springfield!
