Quick Tip: Craft the X-mas Trees Slightly Irregular for 20 40 ASAP, it pays out Mistletoe (THERE IS A BUG WITH THIS PERTAINING TO WEEKLY CHALLENGES. See this post: http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/12/20/christmas-trees-slightly-irregular-week-3-challenge-bug/)
SIDE NOTE BUNNY: As I keep seeing this same thing in the comments, I will just put the information up here instead of copy and paste over n over in comments below. You MUST have your Characters free for any of the Questlines to trigger in Act 2. If they were stuck in say… the Snowman or Gingerbread House Tasks from Act 1, those are still timing down… so you will either HAVE to wait until they are done and you can get them out or store their buildings they came with to pull them out right away(if an option). Either way, they all MUST be free for the Questline Progression. (Mainly Homer, Lisa, Moe, and later Krusty.)
If you can’t find a Character, it is most likely they are stuck in the Snowman or Gingerbread House Tasks. It won’t be until they are done that the icon will show for you to tap and clear them. While trapped there, they can’t be used for any other tasks… including Questlines and for the Petting Zoo.
Of course, try the Basics too… like force close the app and restart device if a task seems “stuck” and “DO IT” won’t show.
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..
Lisa will start things off for you
Just what does Act 2 have in store for us? Let’s take a look…
New Prize Currency for Act 2..
Mistletoe
You’ll earn Mistletoe similar to the same way you earned Santa Hats in Act 1, but with different buildings/items to upgrade.
-Tapping Merrymakers will earn you Mistletoe (they’ll still earn 3/tap…)
-You can also earn Mistletoe via the Daily Prize Combo. So basically Login everyday and you’ll earn Mistletoe
-They’ll also be awarded when you complete the MAIN questline, Turbo Tappin’ will be up later…
-You will also earn Mistletoe by upgrading the various buildings that will popup during Act 2. (follow the questline…)
Note: you will NOT earn Mistletoe from the Snowman, Gingerbread House or Wooly Bully. Those all now only earn cash.
Presents
Yes, they’re still around for Act 2 and work exactly the same as they did in Act 1.
Act 2 Personal Prizes
Picture on a Rembrandt- 2,850
Abercrombie & Rich- 10.250
Chocolate Shoppe- 19,250
Buckingham Pay-Less Motel- 27,450
Festivus Comic Book Guy- 35,250
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. (just like every other event)
New Craftables Added
X-mas Trees Slightly Irregular- 20 40 (Craft this ASAP, it pays out Mistletoe)
Giant Outdoor Fireplace- 1,095
Ice Sculpture Couch Gag Scene- 522 714
Festive Wreath Lamp Post x3- 96
Act 1 Craftables
Act 1 Craftables have disappeared from the Craftng Menu. This is NOT how it should have happened, at least not how the game indicated it should have. Not sure if this is a bug or EA changed their mind. Throughout ALL of Act 1 the Crafting Menu said Event Ends…it did not say anything about crafting while you can for X amount of days. So if this intentional it’s VERY misleading by EA…
Personally, I would chat/call EA (you can contact them here) and complain about this. Based on what the game said they should NOT have disappeared and it’s not right that they did. So if it is a bug it needs to be reported, and if it was intentional than EA needs to hear that we’re ticked off about it…since the game never said they’d disappear. (like it does for prizes)
New Items in the Store
All of the items below leave our stores when Act 2 ends
New Stuff
Pig of Paradise Pen- 30 Donuts
Woolly Manmouth Pen- 30 Donuts
Land Octopus Pen- 35 Donuts
Sophie Krustofski- Sophie was added the other day 110 Donuts
YES, there will be Should I Buy posts on all of these…so please don’t ask…they’re coming.
Returning
Ebenezer Burns- 50 Donuts Should I Buy
Egg Nog Bar- 60 Donuts Should I Buy
First Ever Christmas Tree- 15 Donuts More Info
Nativity Scene- 175 Donuts More Info
Annual Gift Man- 45 Donuts More Info
Little Helper Ralph and Toy Workshop- 75 Donuts (available for 50 Donuts if you already have the Workshop and only need Ralph) More Info (according to the game files this should be in stores…I have this in ALL of my games unfortunately so I cannot verify for 100% sure)
Santa’s Workshop- 70 Donuts Should I Buy
Festive Light Plunger- 55 Donuts More info
I won’t be doing new Should I Buy posts on the returning items. Check out the older posts for details on them. If there’s no should I buy for it, check out the rundown post and details…that’ll explain what it is/does and help you make a decision.
Upgrades
You can NO LONGER upgrade the Gingerbread House or the Snowman for free. They were exclusive to Act 1. If you didn’t finish and would like to finish upgrading them it’ll now cost you donuts.
4 Buildings/Decorations for Upgrading in Act 2. These will all help earn you more Mistletoe. We’ll break them all down in more detailed posts…but here are the buildings (each has 3 levels to upgrade to):
Exotic Petting Zoo
Reindeer Burger Truck
Moonshine Shack
Fortress of Lonelitude
The questline will trigger each one of these…when in doubt work on the questline. That will guide you through everything. Don’t ignore it…
And that my friends is the details of Act 2 of Christmas! Since today’s Saturday, not too many details beyond this post will be up today. So feel free to help each other out in the comments below.
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!
Hi there! I recently bought a new phone and was able to log in to a game that I started years ago. I’m on level 16 and started the exotic petting zoo challenge. It says that I’m on level 2 of 3 and there’s no challenges listed. It says I can upgrade to the next level for 86 donuts. Is it a bug in my game? Or has level 3 not started yet? I don’t think I finished all the questlines in level 2
The event portion for it is over (Act 2) so only option is donuts or leave it as is.
Awww. That’s too bad! I started in the middle of the Christmas event and do t really know what’s going on. Thanks bunny
Thanks Alissa!! Your family sure has a cute little sweetie pie!! Well I’m going to craft away now! Thanks again, Gailyn aka gpikky
Thank you 🙂
Happy New Year 2016 to all!!!🎉
Sorry if this has been asked already but should you craft things to use up all of the bows & baubbles before act 2 ends so you don’t lose them?
Happy Tapping – Gailyn aka gpikky
(PS- not getting any posts again. Think they are going to that other website again)
Crafting ends with act 2
Hi there! Not sure if this has already been addressed, but in regards to the four new upgrades (specifically the Fortress of Lonelitude), when will the purple sludge stuff from when each of the characters vandalized each other’s buildings disappear? All of the other graffiti/trash on the other attractions disappeared after I completed the Oh Come All Ye… Task. Is this a glitch? Is there anyway to make the sludge disappear? I tried putting it in my inventory and placing it again, but it is still there. Thank you!!
(Add jeanniesmithh5)
Is there going to be an Act 3? The timer says the even ends in 2 days…
There will indeed.
Is that the babysitter bandit shoveling in the loading screen animation?!?!??
I hope after this season ends, when we go to our friends towns , that we can vandalize the truck, fortress, zoo, and shack!
Lol, I love it! Too bad that since they make money that they won’t be vandalizable. Maybe a patch, but they’d be taking away someone’s income. Well…I guess a neighbor tap could “look” like vandalism. 😃
Is there a way to get more then your average 10 presents a day?
Nope… resets every 24 hrs
Anyone else having a problem with Festivus CBG? I bought it and it has a tick by his picture but the quest won’t start and when you check CBG the costume isn’t showing!
I too am having probes with Festivus. He shows as earned through collection of baubles but he has not shown up. Anyone seeing same thing and been able to find work around?
I have the same problem- no Festivus CBG skin.
Check your inventory! I thought I had the same problem, but it turned out the costume was just stored there.
Not impressed just purchased the snow globe for 225 donuts and all I got was the snow globe, didn’t get everything that was promised !
What do you mean you didn’t get what was promised…
“Unlocks multiple character jobs for an epic display.”
I assume, no jobs? May they need to be activated on each individual character.
Sorry if this was already asked and answered. Are there characters that earn mistletoe? I was tapping away and thought I saw someone with it but clicked to fast to see.
Again sorry to ask, you have full permission to reach threw and slap me upside the head
Only White Witch Burns and Sophie
Do the EFCOT Center and Giant Outdoor Fireplace provide any kind of pay-out besides looking pretty?
EFCOT earns cash and XP, fireplace does not
Thanks. I see you just up a post about all the craftables, so thank you very much! 😁
Do the act 2 Craftables come with bonus % like in thoh 15? Thanks if you let me know
No
I’m stuck on bow collecting, apologies if you already covered it, but is it still only neighbors dropping presents in your town to receive bows?
That and from daily challenges
LOL I like how 95% of recent comments complain about the X-mas trees slightly irregular glitch…I bet you’re just about done, Alissa XD
After seeing the chaos on the slightly irregular tree, I’m glad I was “saving up” for the Efcot Center! I do alas still have a question though. I seem to be having trouble with the bauble collecting. I feel like no matter how many merry makers I tap, I never get enough of those darn baubles. I get to my friends every day and max out but still don’t seem to get enough to make it look like I will get all of the crafts this round. I have an excess of bows though! Any other ways to get baubles?
Via the weekly challenges, but that’s it.
So I crafted the Slightly irregular Christmas trees over the weekend, and now it’s the daily challenge. I tried putting it back in my inventory and placing it again, but no luck. Any suggestions?

I can’t see what I’m typing bc it’s cutting half off but is this top post about the x-mad tree craft challenge. I crafted it yesterday & it still wants me to craft it but I can’t do any more. THANK YOU!!

Is there any bonus % coming with one of these Craftables?
Nope
i’m having an issue with the excessive gingerbread house at stage 3. I finished one. Mission, now I no longer have any missions listed for it and the only option I have is to pay donuts to get to level 4. Anyone else have this issue?
Please look up at this very post you are commenting on and read through it. 😉
What a joke agree with the last comment.already had it not.ny fualt im ahead wheres my challenge thing this game does my head alot i got the best simpons that i have built abd alissa shut up contact ea would love to if thwy didnt make 100 fooken checkpoints
Please don’t tell me to shut up. This is MY site and if you don’t like what I’m saying I STRONGLY suggest you go somewhere else.
I’m guessing the poster was drunk when he wrote that — you know, one of those obnoxious kind of drunks. If he wasn’t, then that’s even more obnoxious. Bleh.
You can imagine where I was thinking of telling him to go…
Shelbyville?
Yes to suffer with the yellow fire hydrants
Scottsdale via FedEx Ground?
Are you drunk? The post was completely incoherent. If I could make out any of it was you telling Alissa to shut up. If that’s the case they should ban you from the site. Everyone complains on here from time to time but you just attacked our sister. Not cool.
LAAAAAAME
What if you’ve already put down the irregular trees before act 2 started . Why doesn’t it register that you’ve bought it like every other time a challenge starts?
You’ve got to contact EA
So I purchased slightly irregular Christmas trees asap and now the shopkeeper challenge requires me to craft and place it. But I can’t make more than 1. At this point seems no way to advance the shopkeepers challenge.
Contact EA
But how help me plz

I have contacted EA. They told me that many people are having this trouble (obviously) and that they are working on fixing the issue and to just wait. Patience grasshoppers, we are all in the same boat 🙂
All you have to do, put irregular tree in storage then complete other task and then bring irregular tree back into Springfield
