Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Act 2 is upon us and Springfield has gotten bit more…risqué. At least the adults have anyway. Must be a full moon or too much candy. Or maybe, as the game dialogue suggests, they’re really under a spell from the M’nthster…we’ll have to wait for Act 3 to find out what’s REALLY going on.
Anyway…as Act 1 changed into Act 2 so did the prize currency we’re supposed to collect. We’ve now gone from earning S’mores in Act 1 to earning Gummies in Act 2. So let’s take a look at all the ways we can earn those yummy gummies to unlock all of the Act 2 prizes….
REMEMBER: Act 2 Ends November 4th (0800GMT), so you must unlock all the Gummy Prizes by then or you’ll miss out on the chance to get them for free.
So what we know is you’ll need 9,282 total 
to earn all 5 of the Act 2 prizes. And thanks to Bunny’s Calendar, we know that you’ll need to earn a total of 663 /day to reach that goal. So how do you go about earning those Gummies? Let’s count the ways…
Nightmares
Just like in Act 1, each nightmare you tap and clear from you town will earn you prize AND Crafting currency. So you’ll still earn 1 Gummy for every nightmare in your town you tap.
Remember…it’s only nightmares in YOUR town you tap that will earn you Gummies. If you tap them in a neighbor’s town you will not earn Gummies, only crafting currency (and only for the first 90 actions).
In this event Neighbor actions pay you ZERO in Prize Currency (in this cause Gummies). They only pay out crafting currency (Brains, Eggs, Ears & Bones)
So nightmares= 1 Gummie each.
(Remember the max you can have in your town at once is 20, with a reserve of 40 that will build up (that you won’t see) that will start appearing once those 20 are cleared out)
Kids at the Campfire
Sadly sending kids to Roast S’mores at the Campfire no longer earns Gummies directly once you start up Act 2. BUT it’s still 100% worth it to send kids to the campfire to Roast S’mores because that task will earn you Gummies indirectly. You will spawn nightmares each time you have the kids complete the Roast S’mores Task. And remember, for each nightmare you tap you’ll get 1 gummy. So it’s still 100% worth it to send the kids to the campfire…
Here’s the list of how many Nightmares each kid will spawn via the Roast S’mores Task at the campfire:
Lisa- 2 nightmares
Michael D’Amico- 2 nightmares
Janey- 2 nightmares
Database- 2 nightmares
Jessica Lovejoy- 4 nightmares
Hugo- 2 nightmares
Jimbo- 4 nightmares
Kearney- 4 nightmares
Rod- 2 nightmares
Shauna- 4 nightmares
Sherri and Terri- 8 nightmares
Squeaky Voiced Teen- 4 nightmares
Todd- 2 nightmares
Gino- 4 nightmares
Nelson- 2 nightmares
Dolph- 2 nightmares
Laura Powers- 4 nightmares
Greta- 4 nightmares
Martin- 2 nightmares
Uter- 4 nightmares
Milhouse- 2 nightmares
Ralph- 2 nightmares
Bart- 2 nightmares
That’s a lot of extra gummies you can earn by sending the kids to Roast S’mores!
Daily Play Combo
You can earn bonus Gummies just for logging into your game every day. Each week you can get a total of 700 bonus gummies! Pretty sweet!
Quest Completions
For the Act 2 questline, you’ll earn 100 for each part of the questline you complete, more details on our Turbo Tappin’ Post. That’s 900 just for doing what you’re supposed to do anyway 🙂
Adults
In Act 2 it seems that the Adults just wanna have fun! Risqué fun. But fun nonetheless. So while the kids earning Gummies at the Campfire are now out…the Adults can now earn them doing their “adult” things.
Once you unlock Everscream Terrors, Moe’s Terror, Kill-E-Mart & Krusty Murder you’ll unlock special actions for various Adults to earn Gummies at each location. (To learn how to unlock these Facades check out the Turbo Tappin’ post for Act 2. They will each unlock via the questline) It’s not a ton of Adults that can do the actions, but the payout is might higher/person than the kids at the campfire. AND you don’t need to be a super high level, or have loads or premium characters, to earn them. Let’s take a look…
Everscream Terrors
8hr task. “Gather at the Simpson House”
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
Gummy Rate: 3/hr Freemium. 6 /Luann. 4.5 /hr Witch Marge
As you can see you’ll only be able to send 5 characters to Gather here, but the pay out is pretty high for each.
Also, there’s only 1 premium requirement and that’s Luann. Everyone else can be earned as a Freemium player. And Kirk is the highest level, he unlocks at Level 37.
Moe’s Terror
2hr Task. “Unwind with Wine”
WIllie- earns 6
Sea Captain- 6
Lenny- 6
Homer- 6
Carl- 6
Gummy Rate: 3/hr
Again, you can only send 5 characters…really 4 if you exclude Homer, but you’ll earn a decent rate for sending them. Plus most of the characters are unlocked at Lower Levels. The highest on this is Lenny & Carl, who are BOTH unlocked at Level 27. And there’s no premium characters needed on this one…
Krusty Murder
1hr Task. “Play with Food”
Skinner- 3
Comic Book Guy- 3
Wiggum- 3
Quimby- 3
Homer- 3
Gummy Rate: 3/hr
Another one where there are 5 characters that can go…4 if you take away Homer…but you’ll earn a decent rate for sending them. The great thing is ALL of these characters are unlocked at low levels. The highest here is Quimby, who’s unlocked at Level 21 . And no premium characters needed for this one…
And finally…
Kill-E-Mart
4hr Task. “Have Fun with Cameras”
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)
Gummy Rate: 3/hr. 4.5 /hr Witch Marge
The Kill-E-Mart is one where just about everyone should be able to send all of hte characters. The highest unlocked here is Marge, and she’s at Level 15. The downside is both Homer and Marge have tasks here, so if you send them somewhere else (Simpson House for Marge, anywhere for Homer) you’ll only have 3 characters to send.
And that my friends covers all of the Gummy earning ways of Act 2! Remember to stay on pace with Bunny’s Calendar and collect all of the prizes before Act 2 ends, you’ll need to earn 663 /day until Act 2 ends on November 4th (so basically 663 until November 3rd…since it’ll change over early morning on the 4th).
What are your thoughts on the Gummy earning tasks of Act 2? Excited to see the adults get in on the action, especially if you don’t have a ton of kids? Do you think you’ll have an easier time with the Act 2 prizes than the Act 1 prizes? Which prizes have you earned so far? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
Anyone know why I’m showing 2637 gummy’s on the homepage but on the act two prizes it only shows I have 477 out of 2880 needed for the elder blimp?
Sure…read this post

Yeahh I have the same problem!
It’s so annoying tapping in the Neighbor’s nightmare is in fact a NIGHTMARE, specially bunnys and snakes plus the prices are worthless, this update is a drag!
Huh?
Without spending any donuts i have already unlocked the fourth prize 🙂 way ahead on the calander / schedule
Hi is there a way to unblur the adult stuff as I’m in my 30’s so it’s not like I couldn’t handle it lol
No. And there’s nothing behind them either. They’re just doing regular actions (like Carl is Jumping on a pogo stick)…
I’m pretty much over this update. So many things wrong with it so there’s no point in continuing:
1. Update is laggy as HECK!!!
2. Prizes are garbage level imho
3. Confusing and overly elaborate systems to earn Smores, Gummies, etc.
4. Neighbor actions are almost not worth doing (prizes are also garbage from the “crafting” track), and also the sever lag
5. Timeline and calendar are WAY too tight to stay on track and earn prizes as it is
6. I had to disable the coolest part of my Springfield: Monorail! Just to deal with the lag
I’m only going to get the free 20 weekly donuts from this event, and HOPE that there is something worthwhile in act 3. Acts 1 & 2 have been extremely disappointing. I’m barely paying attention to the 4 new building facades to send adults, just way too much work, way too many different job durations to keep track of. Anyone who is casual or semi consistent with checking their Springfield is going to also hate this update so far. Only those who religiously check can possibly hope to earn all of the prizes, which has never been the case before. I for one am going to just get the donuts, and focus on getting more monorail tracks and place the tracks/stations back once this awful Halloween update is loooooong gone. :/
Does it make sense to earn more gummies than the last prize? Do we get bonuts, crafting materials, or something? Or can we just stop sending adults on Halloween jobs after the last prize? Thanks a lot for all your advice! 🙂
Not really. There’s no bonus after the final act 2 prize. Only benefit to tapping nightmares is it builds up your crafting count. But no sense in sending adults after you’ve gotten the final prize.
In today’s update I lost moes terror and the other 3 building skins … Is this normal ???
Tap on the building and see if the skin just changed. If you don’t see the toggle for it contact EA>
Has there been a post on upgrading the fire? It feels pretty pointless…I’m at level 22.
It’s a do it if you want to deal. There’s no limit and there’s no recommended stopping place. It’s kind of one of those…you mine as well do it because you’ve got to tap nightmares anyway deals…
Thanks. I “thought” it increased the amount of nightmares per hour…I also was wasting time to visit neighbors only spawning my current nightmares to pad my materials…I guess this was all for naught! Cheers!
I don’t think it’s pointless – the more nightmares, the more if everything else! Why *wouldn’t* you want to keep trying to upgrade? Granted, I’ve started to shift recycling kids out of the campfire and into recycling more, but I’ve seen a significant increase in nightmares over time. (And, it’s a positive circle…the higher your campfire, the more nightmares, the more nightmares, the faster you level up!)
Anyone else feel like upgrading the fire is getting pointless? Had there been a post on the upgrade levels?
Level 76? How did you get 18 levels above the highest currently available level in the game?
Who?
Sorry – I told WordPress to post this under Kiwi’s comment, but it didn’t obey me! 😉
So I had a nice glitch today, I upgraded my campfire, got a tent reward, and when I went to check what the next nightmare I had to spawn was, I was 194/200 Zombies away from the next level! Sweet. Also my Pet Cemetary spawns rabbits WAY more often than every 10 hours. I cleared it this morning when I woke up and went back in 2 hours later and the rabbits were ready again! Everything’s comin’ up Milhouse!
I’m so sorry if this is posted elsewhere, are Carl and Margaret supposed to be pixilated blobs when doing the Moe’s Terror and the Kill-E Mart?

i currently have 2 homer’s. I lost the pond i had built and then another update just hit and i got the pond back and homer was running around all fuzzy. He is currently at the krusty murder playing with his food with 27 min left, and he is walking around and i can task him, rush him a, wonder how long i can keep them both.
I’m not sure if this was already mentioned, but Burns in his vampire skin has a task to earn gummies. I didn’t look at how long the task was or the pay out.I just sent him thinking it was better than nothing!
I miss spoke, he earns 24 brains. I think I just saw the color pink and assumed it was gummies 🙁
I keep thinking the gummies are donuts… Lol. Is anyone else having this problem?
Yep, might just be wishful thinking though. 🍩
Yes! I see that little pink flash out of the corner of my eye and then disappointingly realize it was only a gummy… (Of course, after a year, I should realize that tapping in my own town doesn’t yield donuts, but it more of an automatic reflex…)
Send Carl to have wine at Moe’s and send Duffman to party down at Moe’s. LOL
Something has happened to my game. Im back at level 1 instead of 76. All my money gone but still have my accumulated donuts. Eek
any thoughts. …
That happens sometimes… it means that your game borked itself for some reason, and you’ll need to log back into your account to get everything back. First, force quit that level 1 game, and when you reopen the game, it should have an option to login in the bottom left corner of your screen. (Hopefully, you still remember your username and password.) If, on the other hand, you simply never created an account in the first place… you might just be screwed. (Also: I assume you meant level 56, since there have only been 58 levels…)
Oh, no…I mean *within* a town, not *between* towns!
I’m doing okay on gummies so far. Unlocked Clockwork Bart this afternoon. Thinking about sending kids to help with recycling the next day or so in order to get my 5 donuts this week. The rail yard is definitely going to be harder with all of the adults busy doing adult things.
I was glad and surprised I could manage to balance both event / Rail Yard and Heights (Somewhat decent) through act 1! I have yet to start the Rail Yard, it takes me about 3.5 days to complete so with Act 2 like you said Ill soon find out how good my juggling act goes this time
Once I finish Act 2 similar to Act 1 ill have that downtime period so more can be done. On another note I just emptied out my in game cash on the remaining land pieces from awhile ago. havent had it this low in some time 🙁
Turbo Tappin days here I come!
Wondering if there might be a part 2 to this blog, suggestions on how the heck to have the kids out of commission, and the adults, and still manage the 5 bonuts from the Monorail lol I’m coming close but not sure I’ll be able to make the 5th Monorail task by the end of the timeframe.
Sorry, not sure if I could/should say that H word on this site, at least it wasn’t double hockey sticks (or something more colorful) 😀
lol i’ve given up on the monorail tracks for now. I’ve got what I wanted…and too much going on to continue it on top of everything else.
True, I just fear that one of these days EA will release the Halloween items I really want, and with my luck, be 5 donuts short…
I’m doing just fine with the monorail. The key is to notice, that the gummies are actually lower priority, because you can earn them at higher rate, than required to get all the prizes till end of act II… And extra gummies give you nothing, so no point earning them too fast. I’m already ahead of schedule with the gummies, therefore I have no problem putting all adults now to work on the monorail.
Adults earn more than kids, so send a few kids to work on the monorail. Focus on the currency you need for the largest reward. This is what I’m doing, and I’m on the five track reward already. I’ll get my donuts within the next couple days.
I look forward to unlocking the last prize of this act so I won’t have to juggle so many things!
I was going to comment about the TSTO firstworld problem of not earning 5 donuts when they give us 20 per week plus however many from the pond quest… but everyone got in first 🙂
Think I’m just stop with railyard for now as not going to get 70,000 without pulling kids into it.
Looks like saxophone Lisa now earns 4 nightmares
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/10/21/in-game-update-treehouse-of-horror-episode-tie-in/
I got a new update with Bart and homer going fishing for donuts what’s that about?
THOH episode tie-in. Working on it now. That’s what I get for trying to write some posts lol
Lol, thanks
Something just hit my game….something about Homer having to go fishing for a soggy donut. Don’t know if I got it because I did the app store update (which, joy of joys!, brought back the Unemployment Office), or if it was just scheduled to release, or what, but thought you might like to know, if you’re not in the game right now.
(Of course, you’re probably already writing a whole post about it… 🙂 )
Another GREAT aspect of the update — when you’re leaving terrors, it just hops over to the various drop locations, instead of that really time-consuming long scroll over!!
Also, New premium item…Bob’s Victorian House. New freemium item (part of the quest mentioned above) is the pond Homer fishes in.
FYI The update today brought back the Unemployment office dispatcher.
Yup…
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/10/21/addicts-question-corner-thoh-act-2-pixilated-characters-facades-fairy-kodos-and-more/
….provided ample opportunities to gain said gummies etc…NOW you see, this is what happens when you blog with a 2 year old on your lap! Lmao.
Don’t know if this was posted anywhere else, but I got an in-store update that brought back the unemployment office. It still doesn’t work right for me though. 🙁
Yup on the question corner post from earlier today
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/10/21/addicts-question-corner-thoh-act-2-pixilated-characters-facades-fairy-kodos-and-more/
When i woke up this afternoon, i did not think i would take part in a discussion on gummies! Lol. But the TSTO addicts have gone and made that possible! Anyway, i think im ok with them. Meaning, im having no prob collecting them or other resources for that matter. I knew act2 would step it up a bit but in doing so i feelthey have
Ohh irony. Just the other day I was saying how I don’t like Frink, and today when I was at Walmart I got one of those Simpson Lego Mini Figures and who do I get? D’oh!
I don’t care for these Gummies. Makes me think of a differant Alien, Zoidburg.
Real Gummys should either be Bear shaped, or look like some cartoon characters, or even worm shape (but those freak me out).
In the meantime I’ll keep collecting these and each time make the Whooping Noise that both Curley and Zoidburg makes.
whoooop whoooopppp whooopp whoop whoooop!
I like how more characters can make event currency but I liked act 1 more in act 1 all u needed 2 know was login every 4hrs now u have 2 login every 1/2/4/8hrs
Plus the rail yard, chalange accepted!
If you log in every hour, you’ve got the others pretty much covered…
