What are your thoughts on King-size Homer’s questline? Liking the Thanksgiving Event so far? How close are you to earning King-Size Homer? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
KS Homer riding around town took me back to my high school days where we had a teacher who did just this. He was significantly overweight and used to ride a tiny motorbike all over the school grounds: from the staff room to his classroom etc and even on the rugby field while coaching rugby! Not a pretty sight… What a flashback!!!
Can’t stop tapping homer! His new speech bites are hilarious ☆☆☆☆☆
I hate how the game forces tough decisions on you. Like how I want to whip Homer into shape all day long, but then I can’t use the UBO 24/7!
Think the tasks are to long at 16hrs
I will get mine on both accounts today, the main one when I log in the other one tonight only just sent him on final task this morning.
Be careful once Homer finishes the long last task of the quest (eating all those turkey legs in the stuffing device). He finished the task for me, and Turkey Central said it was complete. But after going to him and clearing the check mark, I didn’t get the announcement that his super sized costume was mine. Looked at Turkey Central and it had reverted to saying he still needed to do the task (0/1 times). In Homer’s personal task list, it was still highlighted at the top. So I started him off on the task again. Just then, the announcement popped up that I had won the outfit…. But by then Homer was stuck getting stuffed for another 16 hours. 🙁 So don’t be too quick reassigning Homer to that task if the same thing happens to you, it might just take a little time to register.
Just store the Turkey Stuffer and you’ll free him up again.
Don’t forget that you can store a decoration to cancel tasks associated with that decoration. This would free up Homer, and allow you to continue on with the new questline.
Why don’t you just store the turkey stuffer to cancel the task?
I am forced to stuff homer twice with the drumsticks and also twice to make him hang out at the beach. I do not know what happened actually.
Too bad they didn’t add a task so he could wash his “fat-guy hat”.
They did. It’s a 60 minute task
They did. It’s a 60-minute task.
Haven’t finished his Questline yet. Though I am happy we finally get Muumuu Homer (or K.S. Homer as they call it) I, of course, wished for more
I would have liked to see him in his Theater Cape with task: Argue over Seating, as well as him stuck inside the nuclear tank thing and laughing with task: getting hosed down
And yes (assuming it isn’t animated) hoping Mr. Burns doing Powerplant excercise time “one, ie yie yie” etc.
that scooter should be a little slower (probably the only benifit of a future Lag, watching it scoot at an appropriate speed)
Maybe added task for Dr. Nick using a drumstick to make a napkin transparent (I think it was a drumstick…. Homers window to success) “Instead of Gum, Chew Bacon”
oh man, now I want to watch that episode right now, wasn’t there a talking top hatted pig coaching Homer in a fantasy sequence in that episode too (maybe not so much as an NPC but as a thought bubble for Homer)
Ok, I think I’m done now.. :p
And there should also be a visible task of KS Homer strolling around with his grocery cart full of Ham Ahoy!, Much Ado About Stuffing, Tubbb, Cheezus H Rice, Uncle Jim’s Country Filling (just squeeze and swallow,) etc. In the final quest there’s a semi-accurate version of Burns making Homer do sit ups. Maybe there should also be a brief task for KS Homer to walk into the plastic surgery Center and normal Homer to walk out, a nod to Burns exasperated final comment, “Oh all right, I’ll pay for the liposuction!”
Ummm… I thought he was supposed to let it all hang out at the beach? He is naked in front of Milhouse’s house while Milhouse ‘celebrates’ in his superhero costume. The imagery there is… 😶😱😂
My Homer also started out in the middle of the road, nowhere near the beach (but not at Millhouse’s). Not sure what I did, but when I checked in about a half hour or so later, he had relocated to the beach in SH. Funny little bug.
haha, glad my king size homer made it to the beach…….
A similar thing happened to me! I actually came here to see if anyone else had that problem, haha.
I was purposely following him to see how the animation looked liked. He went and sat by the road where the Krutstyland bus stop was, which was annoying because you could only see his legs sticking out from under the bus stop. I just went to the ‘Friends’ page, and he was at the beach when I went back to my Springfield.
I got Fat Homer today, and I was surprised how quick the Thanksgiving quests went. I still have tons of turkeys around, I might click them for xp, I might not. All I know is, I keep clicking the turkey I got from a couple years ago, it gets annoying cause he won’t poof as well.
I don’t think you should tap them for exp unless you REALLY need to. I’m going to try to save them for some decoration 😀
I believe they will disappear when the event is over, just like the others
How is everyone getting so many turkeys? I leave my game come back 4 hours later it says my town is full I can maybe find 3 if I’m lucky.
Anyone have this problem? Or have tips to find more birds?
I have about the same problem with finding turkeys when it says my town is over run, but i did the jobs associated with it and I bought the chief, so I earned the outfit for homer quickly.
you have to do the characters that generate the 3 turkey things every 4 hours
What I did was stay in one area for about 1-3 minutes the turkeys came to me however I also was getting only 3-5 every time I logged in. You get the most out of sending your characters on the drumstick quests. I finished last night and my best advice is to focus more on them and worry about the turkeys when you have 5 or so needed for the next level.
I have the same issue but….I don’t think there are further tips to get them more 🙁
I find the most helpful way is to do that transparent “trick” where you go into edit mode and make the buildings and decorations transparent so you can see the turkey’s hiding behind buildings … I’ve been able to find 6-8 this way plus the character tasks which provides 12 legs every 3 hours, you should be able to collect approximately 20 legs every 4 hours this way! Happy Tapping 😀
Character tasks. The ones wandering around don’t really add very much
click on the turkey in the corner and have your townspeople do quests. they get 3 turkey legs per quest per person
I always find spawns like the turkeys heading towards or coming down from the Springfield Heights tunnel. I just scroll away and come back if there isn’t any and they usually appear.
I love this update, however, I am a little disappointed with the overall presentation of it. For example, with their Halloween, Christmas, Easter, 4th of July, ect events they usually have a much more “polished” way of announcing it. With this years Thanksgiving event they didn’t really do that. Wonder why.
It might be because the Halloween event lasted for so long, possibly extra? They might also be working more on the Christmas event and still want to offer a thanksgiving event and make sure that everyone can enjoy the rewards.
Those were real events. This is a mini-event. It has the feel of one but it’s not. I’m already done with it with like half the allotted days left. That wouldn’t happen with a full event.
I got King Size Homer yesterday morning…one of Homer’s better skins/costumes…
hey everyone, im having a little problem. i cant get king sized homer to finish his “let it all hang out” 6 hr task. for some reason, i cant figure out, suddenly homer appears in the upper corner like he needs a job but it never finishes the 6 hrs task. i saw someone above mention something similar. is there anything you can suggest? thanx and have fun.
it is really funny animation, if you havent seen it yet.
Ya I’m having the same problem. He finished the task but it didn’t register and was still highlighted in yellow at the top. I sent him again and it booted him out of the task. He’s doing it for the third time now so hopefully that completes the quest.
I spent the donuts to get him to finish the task. Got frustrated because every time I left the game, or when my phone went into sleep mode, I would have to start all over!
What I did was I bought only a sliver of beach land so I can see him FOREVER (lol he’s naked with a blur)
I had the same problem with the six hour task! He popped out of it at least four or five times — once when he only had an hour left to go! — and I nearly spent the doughnuts to get him to complete it but then I let myself sleep on it and the next morning he was done. Whew. Stupid bugs :-/
Why is Homer letting it all hang out at a pink house? I have a ton of lounge chairs down at the beach for him to break!
Such a cool event with an awesome skin!! Been wanting Homer muumuu for a long time now so stoked it came free with the event! I’m hoping we get a chance to purchase a turkey that wonders the town, however we didnt get the chance to buy the possums in the monorail event so i’m not sure if we’ll end up getting the option to buy a turkey.
Doesn’t Homer in his monorail conductor uniform have a task to walk Bitey the possum?
Possums are actually good people. I had one living in my crawlspace every now and then (they shift homes every few days except when raising children). Asked the vet if it was a danger to the cats and she said “Only if the cat lies down in front of the possum and plays dead for a few hours.” Possums are not big disease carriers (rabies is not a problem with them) but eat carrion. If something died in the crawlspace, a friendly possum would be attracted by l’odeur de death and take care of it (thank goodness). They also make very quiet crawlspace tenants, in contrast to the occasional suicidal rat (experienced cats on duty, sad ending if the rat tries to come into the house) and raccoon, who both make quite a racket. Had to block the big critters finally, though, because they were ripping into the pricey catproof fencing (mesh) to get to the comfy crawlspace. Don’t miss the raccoons, but do miss the possums.
The “beached whale” bit in part 2 was amusing, if a bit disturbing. He goes and situates himself directly behind the Squidport entrance, so that you can’t quite see what’s “all hanging out…” and if you’re nosey enough to switch over to inventory mode and make decorations non-tapable, (which makes the Squidport entrance semi transparent) then you get to see… pixelated Homer. 😮
On mine he’s down by Springfield heights
Yeah… turns out, based on other comments in this thread, he clearly doesn’t go to the same place for everybody.
Further: this is anecdotal, but it seems to me that I do not see nearly as many bugs as some other posters have reported, which has led me to wonder if perhaps I just happen to be using the same device which EA uses as their primary testbed for TSTO. (32GB iPhone 6, with plenty of empty storage)
I have an iPhone 6, 64 GB and I seldom experience glitches and crashes. So you might be on to something
Best event so far.
Does anyone know when is Christmas Event?
The thanksgiving event is going to last until Dec. 1st, so most likely either Dec. 2nd or 3rd. Hopefully it’s the 2nd, considering they usually update on a Wednesday.
I can’t get homer to stay on the beach and finish “it all hangs out” task?
I was made to do homer all hang out at beach twice. Hilarious animation though.
I love it, it’s hilarious! From the buffet, to eating turkey at maximum efficiency.. and now censored and naked at the beach. I’m laughing my butt off throughout this one. The animation of homer eating is great.
Not on topic but just curious if anyone else had the Thanksgiving items disappear from the store? Mine disappeared after my game reset the Thanksgiving game. When the game reloaded, everything was back – Turkey legs and all – except for the store. I have tried restarting, reloading, redownling the app, and even called EA. Nothing worked. Any advice?
Try logging into your game from a different device (preferably from a different operational system). It’s the only thing I can think of, you have tried everything…
I would wound that Mr. Smithers for an animation of Burns doing Iroquois Twists…
Earned him this morning and he’s already a favorite for Homer. I love collecting the prizes from the show’s mid-90s heyday. That’s what you save doughnuts for. 🙂
I’ve actually liked this event more than Halloween. It has a great prize at the end, and it’s not an event that goes on forever and ever.
Disappointed that his task to “walk through the drive thru” didn’t show him arguing at the drive-thru window or something. He’s clearly inside the building and not outside in the drive-thru at all!
What’s the role of the turkeys after all of this? Will they provide donut opportunities once we finish Homer’s quest lines?
No purpose…and no donuts. Not at the moment anyway
they do provide XP
Got him today!
But I also purchased the WORK AT HOME STATION, so he’s currently starting that quest line.
That episode was hilarious… Homer: “Marge… being over 300 pounds is everything I’ve ever dreamed of — and you’re not going to take it away from me! (Homer grabs and shakes his fat stomach)” You never had faith in me before, but let me tell you – the slim lazy Homer is dead! And now I’m a big fat dynamo! Now where’s my cake? “
Fat, don’t fail me now!!
I only have 59 donuts, is the work at home station important?
Only just got the 360° buffet table ….you’re way ahead of me 😭
🙂
If you continue to send characters to generate drumsticks, you can still gain all the rewards in time. I have faith in you! 🍗
Do we need to complete the FattyHomer questline before Dec 1?
no
