Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Act 2 of the Christmas Event hit our devices yesterday and so far it’s been a fun event, at least for many of you. Like all events, a questline was rolled out with it to help guide you through Act 2. If you ever get stuck with something in the event, just check out the questline and see what needs to be triggered next…usually you can get “unstuck” by following along with the questline.
So let’s take a look at the Turbo Tappin’ version of the Christmas 2015 Act 2 questline….

What are your thoughts on the Christmas Event? Liking the prize track? How about all of the upgrades? Thoughts on crafting? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
Does anyone else seem to be having a lot of trouble getting the mistletoe and whatnot? I play every day and with these events am usually pretty good at being ahead of the curve, but this event seems to be moving very slowly for me. I’m still 5000 away from the Chocolate Shoppe. I feel like I’m never going to finish.
I just wish the game didn’t take so much. Memory. I haven’t been able to download i6 to my phone. My phone is too full. I want in on this Christmas action badly! How long do I have to catch up?
Act 2 ends Jan 2nd
I normally do great on the events as put in the time, visit my neighbours etc. But this event is not panning out well for me and I think the main reason is neighbours. Every time I visit my neighbours the game crashes and I have to restart again. After about 5 attempts of re opening app, going into my Springfield and then heading to my neighbours I get too frustrated. I’ve stored my monorail but hasn’t seemed to help. Anyone else having this problem or any advise on how to help prevent this? Thanks and Merry Christmas 🙂
I’m not having trouble with the neighbors, but I am having a lot of trouble getting the event currency. I typically do well, but this event, I can’t seem to get going.
That happens to me too ):. I guess my mobile device is not powerful enough (I have an iPad 1). That’s why I can’t visit all my neighbors anymore :/
Martin’s perfect Christmas tree didn’t show up after I sent him on the quest.
You don’t get a tree
I’m having trouble earning enough to earn all the prizes. Im playing all the time and I can’t seem to make it. Love the game and all just frustrated at what I already lost and what I can see I am not going to earn this second round.
follow the questline, tap merry makers, upgrade the act 2 buildings…
Apparently I never read this post. If I had it would have informed me that after every level 2 is completed on the construction buildings, that the next build becomes available to start. (I just figured that out on my own…) Not sure if I can do anything valuable with this information. I have ideas, but probably not good ones….
Hello guys, wondering if anyone has run in to the same problem and knows how to overcome it. The daily challenge is to build the slight irregular trees, but I already have this and it won’t let me build another one.
Lots of people…that’s why we wrote a post on it 😉
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/12/20/christmas-trees-slightly-irregular-week-3-challenge-bug/
Bonus doughnuts for this week started off bad for me. I can’t craft and place irregular trees because I already did that. It only allows one and storing then placing didn’t work.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/12/20/christmas-trees-slightly-irregular-week-3-challenge-bug/
I think we will have Maggie around Christmas. I’m going to complete the quest line just in case.
Ah, never mind, sorry – when I test-placed it I could see it has little stairs on the platform itself, so I pulled the trigger 🙂 Still looks like it’s missing something but so pretty! And now I feel like I can start constructing my permanent Christmas area 🙂
I was wondering if there’s any indication that there’ll be station pieces available later to go with the North Pole Station (stairs specifically). I really like the look of it, and the Tetanus Terminal was the only station I liked from the monorail event and the only one I have out. It would be nice to actually have two connecting stations in my town LOL But I’m hesitant to spend that many donuts if I won’t be able to make it look like people can actually get off there. Maybe I should try building some “stairs” with the ice walls and see if that’s a passable look…
This event is pretty dull, seems to move at a snails pace. Missed the last prize from act one which is something that has not happened to me for a long time.
Big thanks to Roxycma388!! I was waiting for one naughty present lol but all 5 were a nice surprise 👍
I’m having issues with the bonuts tasks this week.
Task 1 you need to craft the Christmas tree thing and I’ve already done it so the task hasn’t updated as complete.
You have to contact EA
I purchased and placed “xmas trees slightly irregular” a little early hence cannot complete act 2 day 1’s weekly mission. What to do what to do?? Please help!
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/12/20/christmas-trees-slightly-irregular-week-3-challenge-bug/
Wonder if anyone can help on this one. First daily challenge this week is to craft and place the irregular christmas trees. As I had already crafted it a couple of days ago, the challenge still shows * Do it * . As I cannot craft another I cannot complete the challenge. I have tried travelling to KL and other Springfield to try and clear. I have tried storing the item and then replacing. I have tried closing the game down etc. But no joy. I am sure other players may get this problem. Any suggestions, I realy dont want to try and contact EA as cannot get the call back.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/12/20/christmas-trees-slightly-irregular-week-3-challenge-bug/
Slightly different topic. The weekly challenges reset today. The first one is to craft and place slightly irregular Christmas trees. I did this pre challenge and now it won’t let me craft another! Will I just miss out on my 20 donuts this round or does someone know a way around it?
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/12/20/christmas-trees-slightly-irregular-week-3-challenge-bug/
I built the irregular Xmas tree lot first off as I got super excited for more currency. Now that the daily tasks have started, craft and build irregular Xmas trees is the first task and I’m stuck because it’s already been built. Guess there goes my 20 donuts.. ;/ hope EA fixes this ASAP sigh ;(
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/12/20/christmas-trees-slightly-irregular-week-3-challenge-bug/
Is it just me or does it seem super difficult this event to earn the baubles and other items to craft things?
I’ve never felt or experienced this much difficulty in the game before.
Maybe it’s just me. I don’t know.
But I missed the final item in the first round and I haven’t really made a dent the second part of the event yet.
(And WOW the amount of time to do these quests to level up the buildings is ridiculously long).
Just wondering with the weekly tasks. The first one is to craft the Christmas tree, I’ve already done this so its not showing up as complete. Is there a way to get the game to recognise this? Really don’t want to miss out on 20 free donuts.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/12/20/christmas-trees-slightly-irregular-week-3-challenge-bug/
The daily quests is stuck for me because I already have the irregular Christmas tree item crafted and placed. Tried putting it away and placing it again but it didn’t work.
Any help is appreciated….

Who are the Entrepreneurs that can do the upgrading tasks?
For me it’s Mr. Burns, Apu, Comic Book Guy, Moe, and Luigi. I would guess that if you have more characters, there would be others as well.
Holy cow! I can’t believe how long it takes to upgrade everything. The quests are super long. I don’t feel like I am turbo tapping..I am enjoying the event so far. 😊
Sorry if I’ve missed this in another post or comment, but I was curious if there’s a list of which characters will be used for each category? Example: gluttons, braniacs, kooks, seniors, dimwits, etc.
It would definitely be helpful to plan who to prep for the next round, so they’re not on a long task when that round begins.
Coming up in separate post 🙂
So the petting zoo is going to take 20 hours to upgrade per level instead of 12 like the snowman? Sounds about right.
The snowman had 5 levels though. Every building in act 2 only has 3 levels. Still 60 hours
I’m too lazy to work out whether I’ll have to be careful about picking which characters to send on which tasks. I think I’ll just wing it and cross my fingers.
It looks a bit over-complicated though. Oh well, we keep on grinding!
Thanks very much for everything, but it’s posts like these that I find especially useful. Don’t know what I’d do without you. 🙂
The exotic petting zoo was a great chance to use Jub-Jub for something on the side.
Hi Alissa,
I had a little moan earlier (on EA™ forum) about the amount of “useless” characters not involved in the event, while comic book guy….(a glutton and a brainiac) is needed at the reindeer truck and the exotic zoo and maybe soon this fortress thing …..just seems a waste, that cocoa beanie has to do another factory tour and Lurleen has to record another demo
Anyway, I think this act will be a bit of a grinder 🙂
Should I spend the 145 donuts on the last prize from act 1? I was traveling and didn’t have internet access consistently enough to get them. This is the first prize that I’ve missed in about a year and a half so is it worth it for the two characters?
That’s your call…here’s their breakdown post:
http://tstoaddicts.com/2015/12/18/christmas-2015-prize-guide-act-1-prize-5-patches-poor-violet/
I would totally spend 145 donuts for them but I’m a premium player, I really like the two in one characters. Sherri and Terri are 150. I guess it depends on how many donuts you have. But I love their outdoors tasks and they earn more than a regular premium character’s 50% increase. They earn as two non premium characters so 100% increase.
Looks to be a very busy two weeks!
