Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s time! Act 2 is upon us!
Remember…this is an automatic change in your game. Nothing to download, it should just start up in your game..
Bart will start things off for you
Just what does Act 2 have in store for us? Let’s take a look…
First….if you don’t see content (questline) for Act 2 check to make sure you’ve completed the Act 1 Main questline. Details on that can be found on this post.
The switch from S’mores to Gummies will happen even if you didn’t finish the questline. But the next questline will NOT start unless you finish The Call of the Campfire from Act 1.
New Prize Currency for Act 2..
Gummies
You’ll earn Gummies similar to the same way you earned S’mores in Act 1, but with a few changes. You can earn Gummies…
-By tapping nightmares, which will still spawn from the Campfire the same way they did before. Each nightmare tapped earns you 1 Gummy.
-OR by sending kids to Roast S’mores as the Campfire. Yes…the action is still there, now it just pays out Gummies instead of S’mores. IMPORTANT NOTE: You’ll only get Gummies from the Campfire initially. Once you unlock Everscream Terrors (Springfield Horror questline, see details at the bottom of this post) you’ll only earn Nightmares from the Campfire. Nightmares will still earn you 1 gummy for each one tapped. But at this point the Gummy earning direct from tasks will be transferred to the adults.
SS from BEFORE unlocking Everscream Terrors:
SS from AFTER unlocking Everscream Terrors (Completing Springfield Horror Pt. 1):
-You can also earn Gummies via the Daily Prize Combo. So basically Login everyday and you’ll earn Gummies.
-They’ll also be awarded when you complete the MAIN questline, which is The Very Young Folk and The Springfield Horror questline. (Turbo Tappin’ will be up later)
-You will also be able to have Adults Gather at the Simpson House and through special Halloween themed facades for various buildings to earn even more Gummies. This will not unlock for you until you start Springfield Horror, details are towards the end of this post.
Formless Terrors
Yes, they’re still around for Act 2 and work exactly the same as they did in Act 1.
Shopkeeper’s Challenge with Hugo
Today’s (Tuesday) Shopkeeper Challenge is:
A LOT of you are getting confused because it says make S’mores..and s’mores are no longer available as a currency in the game. HOWEVER…this is simply telling you to have Hugo do the task of “making s’mores”, i.e. Roasting them at the campfire (since that task box says “send youngsters to make s’mores”). So simply do Hugo’s task there and it will clear this task for you.
I promise it’s that simple and it’ll work. Don’t over think this (or any other aspect of this game) it’ll just give you a headache…
Act 2 Personal Prizes
Crafting Resources- 180 
(50 Bones, 50 Brains, 50 Bunny Ears, 50 Snake Eggs)
Mechanical Ghost- 540
Clockwork Bart- 2,160
Elder Blimp- 5,040
Tenta-Corp HQ- 9,270
Act 1 Prizes
IF you didn’t collect them all… you can still access them by tapping on the “ACT ONE PRIZES” tab in the Personal Prizes area. As you can no longer collect items for them, your only option now is to pay donuts to outright by each one left at the point you left off at.
New Craftables Added
Act 1 Craftables are still around but they’ve added 5 new craftable items for Act 2. Both Act 1 and Act 2 craftables will remain for the ENTIRE event.
Halloween Balloons- 300 
Jack-O-Lantern- 150 
Wailing Wall- 250 
(offers bonus %)
Spooky Wall- 200 
(offers bonus %)
Kodos- 250 250
New Items in the Store
All of the items below leave our stores when Act 2 ends on November 3rd.
Halloween Party Wall- 20 Donuts. .10% bonus on all cash and XP
Light Up Elder God- 20 Donuts. 1% bonus on all cash and XP
Wavy-arm Elder G0d- 20 Donuts. .50% bonus on all cash and XP
Fairy Kodos- 40 Donuts. An outfit for Kodos. If you don’t already have Kodos you’ll have to craft first.
Everything above you’ll see without completing any of the new questline. However, once you complete some of the new questline that’ll trigger more Act 2 stuff to start. Completing The Very Young Folk Pt.1 will then trigger Homer to start Springfield Horror. After you complete the first part of Springfield Horror you’ll trigger more Act 2…
The following appears AFTER you complete Springfield Horror Pt. 1
Completing Part 1 will automatically turn the Simpson House into Everscream Terrors….
At this point you’ll now be able to send Adults to gather at the Simpson House. This takes 8hrs, but will earn more Gummies than the Campfire.
Here’s a list of who can go, at least initially:
Homer- Earns 24
Marge/Witch Marge- Marge Earns 24 Witch Marge Earns 36 (if you have Witch Marge it will automatically default to her)
Grampa- Earns 24
Luann- Earns 48
Kirk- Earns 24
To bring this option up, just tap on the Simpson House…AFTER you’ve completed Halloween of Horror Pt. 1.
At this point you’ll have to complete parts of Halloween of Horror to keep moving through The Very Young Folk questline. So if you don’t see the next part of one or the other trigger, try finishing the other pending questline first. I’ll explain it better on the Turbo Tappin’ post…
Once you reach The Springfield Horror Pt.3 you’ll have 3 new items added to the crafting Menu…
Moe’s Terror- 500
Kill-E-Mart- 500
Krusty Murder- 500
These are all facades for Moe’s, Kwik-E-Mart and Krusty Burger. Basically costumes for buildings.
Each of these buildings will unlock MORE tasks to earn Gummies for the Adults…
Moe’s Terror- Unlocks the Unwind with Wine Task for adults, this is a 2hr task. Here’s who can go and what they can earn:
WIllie- earns 6
Sea Captain- 6
Lenny- 6
Homer- 6
Carl- 6
Kill-E-Mart- Has an Adults only Have Fun with Cameras task. This task taaks 4hrs. Here’s a list of who can go and what they’ll earn:
Homer- 12
Cletus- 12
Krusty- 12
Comic Book Guy- 12
Marge/Witch Marge- Marge Earns 12 / Witch Marge Earns 18 (if you have Witch Marge it will automatically default to her)
Krusty Murder- Has a task for Adults only to play with food, this task takes 1hr. Here’s a list of who can go:
Skinner- 3
Comic Book Guy- 3
Wiggum- 3
Quimby- 3
Homer- 3
These have some “interesting” graphics for Homer outside of the buildings….
The Sunken Temple will unlock in your store…for free..once you’ve triggered The Very Young Folk Pt. 5. (Placeable in water only)
At that point The Very Young Folk will end To be continued in Act 3….
And that my friends is the details of Act 2 of THOH! As always we’ll have more details as the day moves along and it’s not 4am here 😉
What are you’re thoughts on Act 2? Excited about the prizes? How about the new items? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
wailing walls gives you 2.75% xp cash bonus. thats really a lot!!!
OoooAhhh!!! Now I have a reason to craft more than one Wailing Wall. Love the cash bonus!
An afterthought…
At 2.75% bonus and no doughnut outlay, I have the brains (excuse the pun) to obtain 9 which is a 24.75% bonus. For astetics they can be hidden behind the Springfield Height mega buildings like I do with the training walls.
it’s actually 2.25%, but yeah!
No multiplier if you have more than one?
OK… using two pink houses (75 bucks) I clicked one and got 111 bucks then stored 3 of 4 walls and then got 106 bucks. The math works out to 2.222% which confirms that multiple walls garners multiple bonus. Hence 9 walls should reap 20.25%(error above) bonus.
Why did they take away gummy making from the kids? Why do they think I’d want XP instead? 😐 Why?
Also, I really don’t get how they’re making s’mores…but gummies come out, even if that was temporary. hah. So, have I not gotten far enough to know what the significance of “gummies” is? *8 hours later…*
Because you’ll now have to earn it via the adults…and nightmares.
Well, I know that. But, why couldn’t they just allow both? The kids could be earning something, too. Yes, I know, they earn the nightmares that earn crafting materials…
Just venting a little. Ignore me.
Oh, I see the symmetry now. The adults earn money and gummies, while the kids earn nightmares and experience. It’s kinda like real life.
*munches on a handful of gummies* Not for you, son. Here, have some broccoli. *munch*
What do you think the switch witch does with all that candy? 😉
First I said “huh”. I didn’t know what this switch witch was. “Was it in the game?”, I said. lol.
Here’s a link of some information for others that were confused: http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/973363/is-the-switch-witch-a-good-or-bad-idea
How old is this tradition? I’ve never heard of it. I just ate candy, usually responsibly, over time. Is it so bad to just trust kids (that you can trust) or to tell them you need to keep their candy until they’re ready to eat more? I guess Americans like telling kids stories. Oh, TSTO: THOH….hmm.
Anyways, to answer your question: I guess “she” eats them? hah. If I’m right, I’ll take my prize in the form of a Elder God Gummy. 😀
lol well usually it’s the adults eating it…that’s what i was getting at with the adults get the candy, kids get the broccoli 😉
I dunno how old it is. I just know my sister’s kids are allergic to Milk so they can’t eat like 75% of the candy they get. So instead of them eating it she does the switch witch with them (although they call it the Halloween Fairy, switch witch is a little scary for little kids) and they get a toy instead the next morning. Meanwhile her and her husband (mainly her husband) get a ton of candy to eat lol
Cool. I was right!
Yeah, at first I thought a “switch” witch was a witch with a switch (a slender flexible whip, rod, or twig). She would beat the kids with it, and that’s how she takes the candy away. I can see why your sister went with “Halloween Fairy”. heh.
…Or maybe you simply meant the “witch” part…. *cough*
lol well my grandparents are from the south…so switch brings back AHHH memories for me. (never got hit, just the threat of it lol) But I think that mentality kinda ended with the little ones. So in their case…witch lol.
Or, for those of us who work in an office building: just drop off the candy in the office kitchen/pantry, and watch as it magically disappears, over the course of only a few days!
lol yea that works too. That’s usually where I bring left over cakes and cookies from parties. The guys in our warehouse love that lol
Any idea on what the campfire levels actually do? As near as I can tell it’s just a way to get added decos.
Decreases the rate at which nightmares spawn from the fire…(ie makes them spawn quicker)
Increases the rate, decreases time between spawns..,.sorry, enginerd here
Each level up shaves 5% off the spawn time, so around level 40 it will spawn a whopping 60 nightmares per hour instead of the original 4!
That Sunken Temple just became one of my favourite things! And so excited to finally get Kodos!
What sunken temple? Where do I get it? I don’t see it in the store or as a craftable….
Sandra….read the post 😉
Ooops – missed that little bit at the very end there :blush:
I guess even I can be one of *those* people every once in a long while…. 😉
D`oh… LOL!
Comes at the end of a quest line. Just saw the picture in the post above. It’s beautiful!
It reminds me of King Haggard’s castle in The Last Unicorn. 😀 (*waves nerd flag*)
Never heard of that, but you’ve got me interested! I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
Love act two! Immediately got Kodos and two wailing walls and a few spooky walls too 🙂 Will save up for the shop facades next, thanks for the heads up. I ended up having to use a few donuts to get the gate, but I did really want it. I’ve placed it near the ruins that I’d bought during Act 1 as it has a similar look. Both in blue-gray marble. The sunken temple will fit nicely with the impossible tower, I think.
Take care….I’m sure I read somewhere, the sunken thing can only be placed on water 🎃
hey lee can you you do me a favor and email us at TSTOAddictsblog@gmail.com? Thanks 🙂
I took that to mean water as in rivers but am realizing now that it means at the beach front… Too bad… I already bought an extra piece of land next to my impossible tower. Will have to think of something else to place there. Anyway, still love the look of it.
Lee, Alissa want’s you to Email the admin.. OOooooooo, You’re In-TROUBLLLLLLLLLLE 😮
:p
😛
LOL – that’s exactly what I was thinking when I read it! 😉
Thank you Totbox, Bunny, & Sandra,
I’m usually in trouble somewhere, ….I think I’m in trouble at work but that could mean a couple of days off to tap, tap, tap …..so it’s not always a bad thing 🎃
I placed mine near each other. They’re the only items in the game (that I have) that go together! Sunken temple in the ocean and the Impossible Tower is on a nearby squidport tile. When I buy more ocean, I might move them off to their own area.
This is what I did just a little bit later:
https://i.imgur.com/O7Ods41.png
It’s pretty much what I said, except that I “deleted” the suidport tiles from underneath.
Woo-hoo! I finally got Kodos! He’s the first thing I crafted as soon as I logged in the game. Now I want to know if it’s worth buying the fairy costume for Kodos, I’ll wait for the pros and cons article.
I agree about waiting, but she is pretty cute flying around. For 40 donuts, might only wait until I finish the quest line.
wow, 2.25 bonus for the wailing walls… I was wondering what should do with these useless (in my view) crafting currencies, now I know. Just crafted 14 or 15 of them, my rate is up from 52% to 83%, thank you EA, it will help for the IRS and the priciest regular items…
Yaaay! Super sexy happy fun adult Halloween time! ^_^
Still love this event. I needed more Spooky Walls from last year – and now I can craft what I need!!!
I’m thinking it is wise to mention that Homer can do the 1 hr, 2 hr and 4 hr tasks for Gummies. . . so pay attention! I’m sad the Kids only generate for campfire upgrades and crafting. . . but that’s because my time in the game can be limited and resetting 30 characters every 4 hrs is a little more time consuming. Still, love the event. The pace is not hectic, and the new items added are all looking to be worthy of the work!
Thank you again Addicts, I am glad we all have this site to turn to!
Just unlocked the mechanical ghost , very Scooby Doo .
Can’t stop tapping it …….
Ditto! Total scooby moment ♡
Would have got away with it if it wasn’t for those pesky kids…..
ZOINKS!!!
If u don’t get gummies from setting tasks at the campfire then how would it be possible 2 get the prizes
Magic…complete and total magic. 😉
Read the post. It tells you all the ways to earn the gummies in Act 2. New tasks unlock for you as you complete the questline…again read the post.
Sorry for completely wasting your time just scrolled up a bit and saw it straight away lol
I’m glad I saved my brains, wailing walls are awesome. Bumped my bonus % by another 25% today. Between the tennis courts and these my bonus has doubled. Looks like act 2 will be nice and easy to finish. Great event so far.
Right there with you fellow “Sky Finger”… EA is hitting the sweet spot for me here… Fun event for newer and older players as it progresses. Easy breezy! Well done!
I am happy with Kodos, like Booberella the last two years I really want him/her (The confusion of Kodo’s gender). But something that really disturb me is that his/her 24 hours task needs the Crashed UFO. Now that Kodos is a craftable character, and doesn’t return the Crashed UFO. We only lost Kodo’s 24 hours task? Perhaps someone know something about this? If the crushed UFO is going to return?
The UFO will not return…
“At that point The Very Young Folk will end To be continued in Act 3….” Is this a subtle way of hinting that we might finally get Maggie as a playable character???
honestly…I don’t see anything about getting Maggie with this event. It’s possible EA could slip it into the files later, but as of right now…nothing.
I made a little 3D reverse pyramid out of some of the new craftables… what do you think! http://www.lpstudios.org/assets/uploads/tsto_thof_3d01.PNG
nice
Looks AWESOME..
Cool! It’s very MC Escher. If you stare at it long enough you feel like you’re going to fall in!
Looks good – you could make your wailing wall two or three rows thick and pick up about 25% more bonus.
Anyone else get kicked out of the game after you get to the Springfield Horror Pt. 1? On both my iPhone and iPad I can’t open the game:(
try uninstalling and reinstalling. If that doesn’t work contact EA. Could be an iOS specific glitch
I just posted about this & how I solved the problem, hopefully the method will work for you.
Glitch alert! Just like on the Monorail task, act two has arrived & my game has disappeared. Everything was fine at first, I started everyone going with the first act two tasks, came back to check my game & just like Monorail, my game has reset to the very beginning. Will contact EA but Brett. Just thought I should give a heads up.
I have no idea what was even autocucumbered to give the word Brett?!
Problem solved, Will explain how for the benefit of others.
1. As I was still signed in, just not getting the right game, I signed out.
2. I hard closed the game on my main device (my Kindle).
3. I booted up the game on another device (a pain cos my smartphone is very basic).
4. The game on the second device gave a warning that my other device didn’t save properly, I ignored this & continued.
5. The game was fine on the second device.
6. I loaded the game on my main device & it warned me that my other device didn’t save properly (sounds familiar). I ignored this & continued.
7. My game is back to normal on my main device.
I can’t guarantee this will work for others but it’s better than waiting while EA work on a patch.
If you don’t have a second device, ask a friend or family member to be kind & let you use theirs. if they play, they can log out & log back into their own game later. If they don’t play, they could uninstall the game once your crisis is over.
Hope this helps someone.
Yup…these methods work. I’ve tried them all and suggest them all each and every time this happens to a player 🙂
Came here to see why my A game was”broken” by awarding XP instead of gummies, and happy to see all the new information! Thanks for all the quick work on providing information! 😄
🙂
I am in LOVE with Fairy Kodos. 🙂 And for those who are concerned about the flying task taking you back to the Simpsons house, yes, it does, but I find it’s not nearly as easy to accidentally tap Kodos as it is to tap Arnie (his task drive me crazy cause it gets in my way) I actually had to put some effort into TRYING to tap Fairy Kodos to see what it did.
Last time it was offered, I went ahead and spent the donuts to get Arnie his Stonecutter skin (I didn’t get it during the original event). I never take him out of it because those flying tasks make me nuts. One of my most practical donut purchases ever.
Does anyone see the innuendo with that Kirk and luann picture? (and homer seems very happy about it too)
Innuendo? Hmm. I guess if you look for it. What I see directly, though, is the raw sexuality of the Van Houtens.
Innuendo? What is that, some kind of Italian suppository?
i can’t wait to see these interesting graphics hah
*cough*
KODOS!!!
Urge to speed up Homer’s task rising…rising…
I’ve rushed a few tasks recently. It has been tempting. Last time I did it it was for Apu and the holiday shop task. Wasn’t really worth it. 🙁 Is it ever?
I rushed it, it was only 2 donuts, I get those pretty much every day from neighbour visits anyway. I also rushed Lisa out of a task on the first day to free her up, again 2 donuts. I think it’s worth it if it’s 3 donuts or below, and you just CAN’T wait, because you’ll recoup those in a day or two anyway, and unless you’re saving for something specific, what’s 3 donuts in the grand scheme of things? 🙂
Well, sure when you look at it with logic and reason. Pfft. 😉 I’ve just recently maxed out my FP, so donuts from there is a new thing to me. I’ve been pretty lucky lately, with more than a few a week. Problem is the visiting itself and finding those rascally nightmares. But, yes, it’s not so bad a thing when I spend those precious circles with a hole in them. 🙂
Wot ? No calendar ? Kidding , honestly kidding , just wanted to get in before Sandra . Sorry Sandra……
Just for that… no calendar til Saturday. Y’all can blame BigPhil! 😉
😛
I can take it , I’m a bloke , used to being wrong……
Now enough of your excuses and make with the calendar , Sandra won’t be so understanding when she catches up…..
Mental note: Tease Sandra today …. tick
Tease Bunny today ….. tick
My work here is done…… only kidding……
Nope. Not done. Sandra just elected you to do the Calendar… SO HOP TO IT! 😉 😛
Thanks, BigPhil…
I think you should just make him do the calendar! 😉
As long as I don’t have to do it… 😉
Got my fingers in my ears and shouting I can’t hear you , over and over …..
No problem…happy to pass the baton on to you! 😀
(The funny thing is, this all started as a gag….Many events ago, I decided to make fun of all the people who were always asking incessantly for the calendar during previous events that I decided to post a parody comment of that, right at the start of one event to tease Bunny and the whole thing just stuck, lol.)
Won’t be any good Sandra , most mornings when I wake up I don’t know whether it’s Christmas or Easter , let alone the month , week or day . Can’t count either . Yup , I’m winding my neck in , big-time here , on my way back to the naughty step ……
The one thing I want them to re-release more than anything is the teleporter pods. So bummed I didn’t pick those up, I really want to keep one at my recycling plant, and the other at the bonfire right now.
Those, and now that we have Kodos and Kang, where’s Witch Marge, and the regular cemetary? Come on EA 😀
Maybe EA wants the people that had these items from the past to appreciate that fact and allow them to use them way before all of us newbies get to. I’m envious. You can’t put a price on that, you grandtappers.
That’s funny, I always wanted to be a grandtappy
You can be the first, officially. I hope it catches on. 🙂
That is exactly where I have mine placed. It’s a real time saver.
I have the task board near my Campfire to get to the Rail Yard and tap ‘Go To’ of one of the kids roasting s’mores to get to the Campfire.
Spooky walls are back!!!! Last year, when I was still a newbie, spooky walls were the first way I was ever able to substantially increase my bonus multiplier. I suggest that, once you’ve crafted everything else you want, you craft the heck out of these!!
Kodos is available and easily craftable!! Hang on, Kang….your sweetie is coming!!
Just barely started this act and loving it already…much better prizes! I hope all of those folks who were passing judgement in the whole even based solely on the first act realize the error of their ways now!
Happy camper here…now, back to the game (just barely started this morning)…. I’ll have to read everyone else’s comments later!
We got of on a sloooow start but I am excited for the cool things still to come and the nice stuff we already have 🙂
Kodos! Awesome! I told you he was coming! Awesome!
Test
Woohoo!! Now this is more like it! My jack o lanterns are finally here!!!🎃🎃🎃 I kinda resent EA for making me craft them, but beggers can’t be choosers I s’pose. KODOS!! So happy and surprised she was a cheap craftable. And HALLOWEEN SKINS!!! Amazing. The Halloween balloons are adorable too. Can’t wait to get the adults in on the action 😉 Now all we need is the Mariachi Band from the pop up store 💀🎺🎶
And I haven’t read all comments yet so this may haven been mentioned, but the Fairy Kodos skin has a task to fly around town just like the Artie helicopter. Saw that in a friends town. So depending on your feelings on Arties task (most people hate it with a passion), that might help your decision on whether or not to pick it up.
TLDR; YAAAAY ACT 2!!!🎃👾🎉
