Hey there Hoppereenos!
Looks like the Takedown for the Terwilliger’s Event has finally started to hit.. So what other changes came with this Update for the Removal? Let’s take a peek below. 
So far this has only hit the iOS Market. Will update when we see it hit Google/Android Market too.
UPDATE: It is now in Google Play/Android Market
More to come…
With Terwilliger’s Event gone out of our games now, there are a few items it seems snuck away in time and are now in our games for purchase.
MUTANT BOB CLONES
Those 3 crazy Mutant Bob Clones we have been squishing in the last 2 Acts are now in our game menu for purchase. You can tap on each to see their animation. Each one comes with a quick questline. All are NPC’s with animation when you tap them. All 3 available for less than 6 days. (You can only get one of each.)
Bob Clone: 60 Donuts, melts butter all over himself
Tall Bob Clone: 60 Donuts, does a hula dance
Short Bob Clone: 60 Donuts, pops like popcorn.
RAKES
It looks like the Rakes may be a little more permanent addition into our towns as they are now also in the Decorations Menu for purchase for our games.
15 Rakes: 75 Donuts
3 Rakes: 18 Donuts
1 Rake: 7 Donuts
CECIL TERWILLIGER
Cecil is now a permanent fully tasked Character in the game. You will be prompted to tap on Cecil once in the game. A questline, Say “Cheers”, will trigger. The first task being 8hrs to make Cecil Survey the town. Moe will then trigger Part 2. We will have more details on him later.
PAYOUT CHANGES
Many of the items that were paying out Event Currency have now been replaced with regular Game Currency.
Monsarno Research: $275 & 70 XP every 8hrs
Outdoor Opera Stage: $90 & 10XP every 4hrs
Herbicide Squirter: Just shows Level 0 when tapped (this may be changed later as it currently is not showing the Level it was on)
SIDESHOW BOB
There will be some an additional questline for Sideshow Bob triggered into the game, Rake It to the Limit One More Time.
I am also still seeing him roam towns to tap on and “capture”.
OTHER SPRINGFIELD
Anyone else notice a few different things going on in the “Other Springfield”. Take a peak. Let us know what you see. 😉
There you go. The end to this really cool Terwilliger Event that brought us an entire Psychotic Family. (One I had been wishing for since the start of the game. Lol.)
On a side note the App Market update did hint that MORE is coming from EA soon, so we will keep our eyes out.
What do you think? Going to pick up the 3 Mutant Bobs? See any other changes we didn’t list yet? Let us know.

I actually enjoyed the event, but I don’t think I want to see those Bob clones anymore… especially not for 60 donuts.
I’ve now downloaded the update, was able to craft an extra cactus patch this morning and grab another set of bonuts (managed to get 3 on the 1st attempt).
While the event did have it’s good points I’m so happy to reach the end!
Do the bob clones do tasks and earn money or are they just for show?
As in this post… they are only NPC’s. Just wander and animated when tapped.
Dammit, was just about to get my final cactus patch, forced update….
6:00 CST, still have not been forced to end the event.
Able to get one more set of donuts for the “A” game and sooooooooooo close to the next set on the “B” game !!
I haven’t update my game for Terwilligers removal. Still contemplating whether I should buy Brandine or not. I have never use my donuts before. Specifically to buy any characters or building. I keep on waiting if I’m gonna find something that I really like and wanting to have. Now I have 362 donuts. Anybody can help me decide? Haha is it worth having or should I wait and buy something else? I know there’s a post for should we buy or not. But I didn’t expect Brandine to appear right now when it’s not a Valentine’s day 😂
Honestly, I can’t tell you what to do. But if you think you’ll regret it then get her. If you’re spending this much time trying to decide you’ll probably end up regretting it.
That’s true. I spent so much time thinking. I’ll probably regret it if I don’t get her. Thanks Alissa!
Anyway I haven’t got the forced update and thus able to craft extra item. And so close to get extra donuts again. I’m gonna let my game in Terwilligers event awhile more 😉
She’s a good purchase… she can give birth to 3 kids, all of whom act like walking buildings (you can tap them for money). So if you are at all in need of regular cash, it’s like getting 3 free buildings without needing space for them in your town (though you do have to wait for them to be born). And her quest is somewhat humorous.
Well, I read the reviews, like ‘Should I buy …’, which you no doubt have already done. That tells me what give the best return in some fashion. Then I find someone who has said item and look at it. For example, the peacock. When tapping on a neighbour’s peacock, nothing happened. This was not in the reviews. If I still like the item, then I go ahead with the purchase. In Brandine’s case, I didn’t like the animations (smoking and pregnant – what is it with so much smoking in this game? – and violence), so she dropped off my list. I would try to keep at least 150 donuts in reserve so you can take advantage of special offers (which you will have). Seems every time I reach 160 donuts, something comes along. Will you always get it right? No. We are obviously not going to get Wacking Day this year. Next holiday is July 4. Is there something patriotic that you might rather have? If not, you probably will have enough time to rebuild your reserves to 300 donuts if you buy Brandine now. So if you are happy with Brandine, I would go ahead with buying her. I am sure she will be offered again, but will you have free donuts when she is?
I’m a freemium who bought Brandine recently and haven’t regretted it! Good luck!
I still haven’t updated but plan to use doughnuts to get the decoy around 5pm UK time as that’s about an hour before the update hit the store yesterday and I’m jittery about risking past 24 hours in case it pushes me out. Just trying to get the doughnut cost as low as I can before then. After that I’ll still carry on trying to get more bonuts until I’m forced out but at least I’ll have all the craftable items I want. I’m about 100 notes short or another round of bonuts which I’ll get as soon as Cecil’s last task of the day completes. I think it was worth carrying on just for the bonuts. Plus I nearly have enough now for 2 extra cane fields.
Is it me or the game is incredibly lagging after the update? At least when all characters are waiting to be assigned to a task, everything flickers and moving in the town is incredible slow! Before the update this didn’t happen to me. Anyone?
I didn’t see that, but I did notice that the voiced characters no longer talk over one another. I am not sure if it is a glitch, a bug or a feature.
I updated and bought the butter bob, who makes me laugh. I keep wanting to tap on him though. Really happy with Cecil! All the grinding was worth it, imo. I’m curious what the next level and event will bring. Right now I’m level 52 but haven’t bought Marvin Monroe yet. I’m taking my time and expanding and saving money and will get him when his price drops.
Could Lyle Lanley be the “something more dramatic and murderous” alluded to in the update info? Compared to Bob any villain has less hair…
Love the new banner! Lol at the use of donuts 🙂 I’ll get the update in a moment: was able to craft one more canefield, a wall, and a ticket booth. But what made me even happier was the 10 donuts in the mysterybox that got me my Vevusius pizza 😀
very nice 🙂
It is just me or do the characters voices get cut off when you select a new character? Before, two characters can speak at the same time. It sounds weird now. It feels so incomplete…lol
I noticed that too.
A small change in the update, not sure if anyone else noticed: the Zenith City Store Front now displays cash register icon (like other stores) not wad of cash icon when ready to collect.
I could spend 95 donuts and get Madame Underdunk. Any idea how much more time I have to make this decision? any idea if she’s remotely with it?
No idea how much more time. No one knows.
As far as if she’s worth it? She’s another character in the game…not premium. Hard to say if you think she will be or not. Here’s her prize breakdown
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/05/22/terwilliger-prize-guide-act-3-prize-8-dame-judith-underdunk/
hm… so any guess on how much longer we can hold out?
I’m not sure if I should wait a few more days for the decoy or if I should just spend them on cactus patches
I think a few more days is unlikely. It’s usually 24-48hrs. It’s a difficult decision because you never know when it’s gonna hit….
Ugh you lead me so wrong this time. Why say forced end of event is currently happening when it’s not? I
What are you talking about? We’ve always said if you don’t want to update don’t update. Clearly you’re not reading what’s written in the posts….
Honestly, I can’t hold your hand while you play. You’ve got to take some personal responsibility for your own actions. If you’re not going to read what we write, or only read certain parts..it’s not my fault. And I can tell you there’s not one reader here that will tell you I we said it was the forced end of the update. We said at some point you’ll be forced to update. That’s all.
i know you guys are all about positivity on here, but it’s comments like this that make me wish you guys used wordpress’s thumb rating system instead of the like system…..
I’ve actually got to see if we can even use that with the one we use. I think we just have likes but I’ll have to look
I don’t know if anyone else has posted about this (sorry if so) but I was visiting neighbors and the familiar “Sideshow Bob has been spotted…” popped up, and there he was, roaming around, same as before. So, is he still going to be popping up in friends’ levels or does this mean this person didn’t update when Monsarno dropped?
I think it means that person didn’t unlock sideshow Bob. Not 100% sure….have to play around with it more.
My game auto updated and I didn’t have a chance to harvest, or the choice to update. Is there an option on my iPad to change this?
There should be one in your app store, but you’d have to play around with the settings.
I have not updated yet and I got another set of daily tasks for today. Is EA still supporting the event even though it is over? If there are tasks for today it seems likely that they wont force the update till the tasks are done. We may still have time to get one or two more free doughnut prizes.
I would say that if you contacted EA about an issue in your game now they would tell you to update it. So basically as far as their support is concerned the event is over.
Did anyone else’s game reset to level 1? My origin logon still says level 52, but when I go in I’m back at Homer’s city-ending animation. I’ve updated, logged out than in again, hard shut down the app, and restarted my phone all with no luck. I can’t check on another device until tomorrow, and I don’t know what to do now.
You’ve done the first part…the other device is the next step. You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling. If all else fails you can contact EA. But by the time you do all of that you’ll probably be able to use another device.
Sounds like you are entering the game without being logged in to Origins.
From Aus and I dont have any update in app store or within game :/
Am I the only one stuck with the terwilligers forever?
No, hard close your app store and restart your device. Sometimes it takes a little bit to show up. And if you’re in Kindle it may take even longer
I am SO glad the event is over. Now I’m hoping for some down time to grind through to expand. Just built the Quimby Compound and boy is it long. Going to have a tough time placing that for a bit until I catch up and expand. Tempted to clear away my designs in my Holiday strip to make room and just leave money makers out.
More related, I’m going to pass on the Bobs. Spent donuts on the other mutant vegetables. I can appreciate the new Other Springfield, but I don’t really like it. You know, except the benches. Also, I think P-Rex should have gotten his watch the opera task moved to the opera house if we had it. Would’ve been nice, I think. Oh well. Glad for the break, I just hope the next event isn’t a “clear the enemies” type of event. Something like Stonecutters and Clones would be nice, I think. But that’s just a humble tappers opinion. Happy tapping everyone! And thanks for the update on the update!
Hey for some reason when I was testing what visual animations Cecile does he just walks like an NPC and when I put him on practice stand up I briefly see him with a clown costume on is that supposed to be visual also my herbicide squirted says its level 0 just wondering if this will straighten out
For how long will we be able to continue with this event? I am just about 150 music notes away from hitting the 37050+ mark which would allow me to get my hands on another 3 donuts. These bonuts are the only reason why I am still going on with this frustrating event.
I can’t tell you that. I don’t know, no one knows. All I can say is at some point soon you’ll get a popup forcing you to update. It usually happens within 24-48hrs of the update hitting the game.
Hello all,
Quick question not covered here: does anybody know if the quests from the event roll over? I’m on part 8 of phantom of the opera, and don’t want to update until I know for sure if it will wipe that one out.
Thanks!
~DC
No I believe that questline will disappear.
I just played until I got a last couple of donuts. The crafting items were too far out of reach to keep it around any longer. I liked getting all the characters but most items took too much too craft.
I’m running TSTO on a Kindle Fire and have not seen an update yet. But I did get a couple of new Terwilliger story lines… ..”Running out the clock part 1″ and “Building toward the sky part 3”. I don’t remember a pt 1 or 2. Is anyone else seeing this or have I not been paying attention?
And thanks to all my virtual friends out there. It’s been fun squishing clones in your Springfields.
Nope, those have been around since the start of Act 3.
The upgrade is definitely in the Amazon App Store – I can see it on my Kindle Fire HD.
other Springfield = bland, boring, uninspired, and badly designed. what’s up with that? the other one was so much better. imho.
on another note, for those of you who got the homer decoy, where are you putting it?
I put mine behind the military store with a couple of training dummies.
Am I the only one noticing that the cane fields are growing? I crafted one a week ago or so, then I crafted another recently and they’re not the same height. LoL
My three are side-by-side, and the same height. I crafted the first about a week ago; the last, earlier today. If you make the game show you the name of each item (by trying to store it to inventory) do you see the same name for each? Mine are all named “Cane Field”.
It’s probably nothing to worry about. But if you notice characters wandering into your extra-tall cane field and never coming out again, start worrying. 🙂
I decided to delay the update just so I could craft a few cane fields. I’m getting enough to make two per day. One more will get me four, and I think I’ll update after that. Won’t bother trying to get the flower walls, though.
