What’s next? 15,638,880 
and 1,000 Amateur Bucks as we work towards that 3rd Community Prize!
What are your thoughts on Springfield Arms? Excited to have unlocked it? Where have you placed it in Springfield? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
ehm when I look at the prizes it is counting for the 3rd prize (1000 tickets ) but it says that it has already be reached? but still counting towards to it… dont get it..
Happens some time, it’s been happening since the launched. Hard close and restart should clear it out.
Currently in my disorganized “stuff I haven’t found a home for yet while I futile try to save up cash for Burn’s money pile” area.
I for one love it! Fits perfectly into my ‘wrong side of the tracks’ part of town! 😀
This is the ONLY thing in the entire event that I’ve even tried for. I never upgraded players or bought anyrhing
Nice they lowered the requirements, but they’ve overdone it in my opinion, there is no fun in it any more, it is obvious that “we make it”. In fact there is probably no point buying extra balls any more, those that we are going to get from daily training would probably suffice to get to the last prize.
Agreed. It’s supposed to be a reward not an award
Got it just before I logged off for the day 🙂
It’s now sat behind the Tire Fire, seems to be a suitable spot for it as I build up my sporty area (I’ve even retrieved Springfield Downs from inventory)
I’m surprised you’d have Springfield Downs inn inventory! I never play the horses, but I love that it gives several characters some 2-hour tasks. (It’s also an interesting-looking building, IMHO.)
True but for some of those characters I’ve also got the 2 hour Stonecutter task.
It was mainly because it’s quite large and I couldn’t find a home for it but now it’s been rescued 😉
Haha, I think it’s 3 hour tasks actually for most of them, but Fat Tony and Brockman have 2 hour tasks, Wiggum and Quimby have 4 hour tasks and Flanagan has 24 hour task.
But in terms of betting on the dogs, I always lose… even on the easiest 2-1 dog.
I love this decoration. Very seedy.
Nice building. Hope for some character interaction in the future. 🙂
It is good EA came to their senses with the tap ball requirements. If their intention was just to hold off on us having it until now they could of put restricted it to Act 3 instead of putting such a ridiculous amount on it. Anyway it is going next door to Bachelor Arms..
It’s a free building but I will need to reorganise to put it in my downtown area. And we know how Homer doesn’t like that.
I really like this building
I’ve momentarily placed Arms adjacent to the Republicans Headquarters building. This is subject to change of course!
Love it! Keep up the community push. I want the gridiron
I just jammed it in my Springfield; but I will place it next to Edna’s apartment building. 🙂
How does this affect the conform-o-meter?
I knew i forgot something…Indolence +10
No problem thanks for the info! 😀
Any idea how many people actually play Tapped Out?
The numbers seem so low now.
Not that I’m complaining about getting the awesome prizes!!! 😀
When I checked on this prize this morning, it was still a looooooong way off. It didn’t seem like we were going to get it all during this event. So I was so surprised the next time I logged in and was awarded it. I figured EA lowered the requirement for it. Like what others have already voiced, I need to find a place for it (though I do have it in a temporary location for the time being).
Placed it next to Bachelor Arms with the broken washer and drier out front and some metal trash cans strewn about. I thought it’d be a bit bigger but other than that I really like it!!
Anyone else have their timer reset on anything they were building with this change. I was building Testostezone and it was supposed to be done today at lunch…it’s still building and has 8 more hours to go!
Umm, thanks?
It’s okay. I am pleased EA lowered the amount of balls required to an obtainable level. I don’t love the building but I’m happy it was free.
This is my first event and im curious, what happens to the tap ball field and entrance? Will they just disappear?
No they’re yours to keep.
Even though it has no use other than some income every so often, I like we have it. It’s another characters home to add to the town. Hopefully they’ll add a/some task(s) for comic book guy.
Well done, team! We’ve got Comic Book Guy’s filthy hovel! This is moving in close to Nelson’s House.
Yes, this. That’s where mine is located, too. Too bad CBG doesn’t have a task there. Maybe him and his love interest….
I thought Comic Book Guy would have a task because it’s his apartment place.
I didn’t know that. Now, I’m depressed.
How do I find the Springfield Arms? It says it was unlocked and is in my town but I know I didn’t place it and I don’t see it inventory
Should have been instant, unless you hit store. Double check your inventory if you still don’t see it contact EA let them know, they should be able to restore it for you.
It “popped up” up for me to place so maybe a glitch. All good now 🙂
Good to hear 🙂
I’m trying to figure out where I’m going to put this….need to make a seedier section of town. (Definitely need to do some designing when the event is over to accommodate all the new goodies, in general.) I was happier that this building didn’t have any build time, so I could put it straight into storage until I prepare someplace to put it.
Phooey on the instant build.
Why don’t you like that?
I dunno, at the moment, kind of underwhelming. I mean, congrats to us the community for obtaining the prize, but was at least hoping a questline would be set up and/or jobs associated with it. Not that they won’t in the future, as y’all say, never know what EA will or won’t do.
Fits nicely in my slum apartment neighborhood. I like it!
Does it have a sound when you tap on it? I tapped on it and no sound played.
There is no sound.
That sucks. Wonder why there isn’t any sound.
