Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Ah the first day of Autumn…leaves are falling, that crispness in the air has arrived and there’s a brand new season of TV on! Ok so it’s only the first day of fall, and it still feels completely like summer (at least here in New Jersey) BUT…the last part is true. There’s a whole new season of TV shows…and the Simpsons Season 28 starts this Sunday! To celebrate the Season Premiere EA has launched a fun Episode Tie-In Mini Event in our games..something to gear us up for Sunday.
Of course, as with all events, a questline comes with it to help move us through the ins and outs of the event…and unlock all of the prizes. As was mentioned on the rundown post this mini event is similar to the previous mini-events (like Homer’s Chiliad and the Fire Department before it), in that you’ve got to complete various tasks to unlock the prizes.
So let’s take a look at the questline to see just how to unlock all the fun Premiere Episode inspired prizes…
Before we get into the walkthrough I want to point 1 thing out…the gift cards (
) do not carry over. So if you collect more than the required amount, they do not count towards the next part. Once you’ve unlocked a prize your count will go back to 0.
And now on with the walkthrough….

And of course we’ll be here Sunday night to talk Season Premiere during our Open Thread (well at least I’ll be here, can’t speak for anyone else lol).
What are your thoughts on the Season Premiere mini-event? This is the first time they’re doing something like this for an episode tie-in, what are your thoughts? Like this better than the old way? Looking forward to watching the premiere on Sunday? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
I’m having trouble with this quest. I got up to part 3, got the facade and everything. Then today the quest is back to the beginning as if I haven’t dine anything at all. The building and facade are all still there, but all the tasks (get gift cards, etc.) are back to zero. What gives?
What part does the questline say? Battle on the brands part?
