Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Well it’s not Christmas, but EA has dropped an update in our laps today nonetheless. As Springfield Heights Round 2 hits our games…
This is an IN-GAME update…so there’s nothing to download from the App Store. This should automatically download for you direct to your game once you start up TSTO. If you don’t see it (you should see the downloading update screen) try hard closing and restarting TSTO, you can also restart your device.
Cookie Kwan will start this off (should auto-start) for you. As always, I’ll be back with more info as soon as I go through it…
So as mentioned above Cookie will kick things off with some auto-start dialogue…
Cookie: This tunnel to Springfield Heights is ruining the curb appeal. It’s too bad there’s no possible way to move a tunnel.
Cookie: I’ve got some prime real estate- available for one day only!
Homer: Woo Hoo! Stuff on sale!
Cookie: It’s not on sale. The rich don’t need discounts.
Carl: What about government subsidies?
Lenny: Yeah, and there’s the whole “too big to fail” situation, too!
Cookie: Sure, the rich want free stuff. But when they spend it, they like to pay full price.
Lindsey Neagle: Is that 50 cups of coffee in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
At this point you’ll unlock a new questline for SH (which Cookie will start as well) and a whole bunch of new stuff in the shop!
First the premium SH items have made a comeback for the next 36hrs…so if you didn’t pick them up last time and wanted them, now’s your chance:
A couple of changes/additions to Springfield and Heights
NEW LAND!!!!
2 new strips in Springfield Heights…going away from the ocean
AND
2 new strips in Springfield! Bottom of the screen, furthest from the mountains.
You can also change the look of your SH upgrade-able buildings! Just tap on them and you’ll be able to change to whichever facade you prefer… 🙂
Now onto the new free stuff…
First there’s a new currency in Springfield Heights…Ads
Here’s what you should see to start
Then there’s a whole bunch of stuff that will unlock as you move through the questline…
A NEW CHARACTER! Lindsey Naegle!
You’ll unlock Lindsey once you unlock the Marketing Agency, on the new land plot.
