Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Overnight Gil arrived in Springfield…this time offering up premium items at a semi-discounted price. You know everyone’s favorite…rebate offers. Spend more up front, but get it back in the end. In most cases…it’s still a good deal 🙂
Let’s take a look at what Gil’s offering this time around….
When you launch your game you’ll see Gil’s back waving his arms, like he just don’t care….
Quimby: The city is broke, people! We are hemorrhaging money and need cash fast, or we’ll all be selling our likeness to T-shirt companies. But Moe, not you.
Burns: I could pull this city up by its bootstraps….
Lisa: No! We will not turn to you again to solve our financial crises.
Gil: You could all turn to Gil! Mostly ’cause I lost that vertebrae in my spine that makes ME able to turn to YOU. Big Business to the rescue! Stock your Springfield with corporate juggernauts and get donuts back with every purchase. Ha-cha-cha!
Quimby: When does ‘er the traditional political “palm greasing” come into play?
Gil: Every franchise contract comes with a standard government bribe.
Quimby: That is very comforting.
And then the deal will launch….
There are 5+ days till this deal ends, which means it ends Tuesday October 4th….
However, each set of items are only offered for a limited amount of days…the first round leaves on October 1st, when wave 2 launches.
Here’s what’s included in the first Wave…
Again Wave 1 LEAVES October 1st. So if you see something you like, grab it before Saturday…
Springfielde Glenne Condos- 70 Donuts, with a 10 Donut Rebate. So net 60 Donuts. (Yes, I’ll be doing a SIB post on this..) +2.8M 
Butterfly Tent- 20 Donuts, with a 5 Donut Rebate. So net 15 Donuts. (no bonus % on this one) Should I Buy
Health Spa- 150 Donuts, with a 50 Donut Rebate. So net 100 Donuts. Should I Buy (Current opinion…still not worth it, even with the rebate)
Strupo Statue- 20 Donuts, with a 5 Donut Rebate. So net 15 Donuts. Should I Buy .50% Bonus on Cash and XP (Current opinion…meh. Unchanged from the Should I buy. 5 Donuts doesn’t change it for me)
Golf Course- 100 Donuts, with a 40 Donut Rebate. So net 60 Donuts. Should I Buy 1.5% bonus on Cash and XP (Current opinion…it’s ok. If you missed out on one previously now’s a good time to get it)
Excellence Prize Statue- 20 Donuts, with a 5 donut rebate. So net 15 Donuts. Should I Buy .50% bonus on all cash and XP (Current opinon…remains unchanged from the Should I buy post..)
Sumatran Century Flower- 40 Donuts, with a 10 Donut Rebate. So net 30 Donuts. Should I Buy 2% Bonus on all cash and XP (Current opinion…good buy for XP collectors. 2% Bonus for 30 Donuts)
Asia de Cuba- 100 Donuts, with a 30 Donut Rebate. So net 70 Donuts. Should I Buy (Current opinion…remains unchanged from Should I Buy)
Coming up on October 1st…
Disclaimer: Prices are what they are currently listed in the files. EA can still adjust pricing prior to October 1st. I’m posting them here to give you an idea of what’s to come…
Bookaccino’s- New building. 100 Donuts, 20 Donut Rebate. Net 80 Donuts. (once it’s in the game I’ll do a SIB)
Hot Tub- 60 Donuts, 20 Donut Rebate. Net 40 Donuts Should I Buy 2.5% bonus on cash and XP(Current Opinion…Good buy because of bonus % and added task for Fat Tony..)
Springfield Farmers Market- 70 Donuts, 10 Donut Rebate. Net 60 Donuts. (Current opinion..this was once freemium. My gut is telling me 60 donuts is NOT worth it for this one.)
Jet Engine Bike- 30 Donuts, with 10 Donut Rebate. Net 20 Donuts. (BEST DEAL for XP hunters…2% bonuts for 20 donuts, no brainer!)
BBQ Pig- 60 Donuts, 20 Donut Rebate. Net 40 Donuts. Should I Buy 2.5% bonus on cash and XP (Current opinion…discounted price makes this a really good buy for 2.5% on 40 donuts spent. But the Jet engine bike is still better..)
Plastic Surgery Center- 80 Donuts, 30 Donut rebate. Should I Buy (Current opinion…Donut rebate doesn’t change Should I Buy Opinion..)
Cool Brown House and Cool Homer Skin- 120 donuts, 50 Donut rebate. Net 70 Donuts. Should I Buy (Current opinion…good buy if you’ve been wanting this combo)
Swanky Fish- 90 Donuts, 35 Donut rebate. Net 55 Donuts. Should I Buy (Current opinion..it’s a fun building and one I enjoy. You may want to consider this one..)
And there you have it my friends..the breakdown and details on the current Gil offer.
However…before you spend your donuts I’m going to remind you…Halloween is coming. So if you don’t have a lot of donuts to spend, don’t get too tempted because you don’t know what Halloween will bring, premium wise.
Thoughts on the offers? Will you be picking any up? Which items were you most looking forward to coming back? Sound off in the comments below…you know we love hearing from you!
I won’t buy anything for XP again unless it has a better or similar ratio than the Beach Hideaway from now on! 😛
Thanks for providing what future donut amounts could look like- it definitely helps my spending, especially with this upcoming Halloween event being my first. I wanted the Farmers Market but I’m thinking at 60 donuts too rich for my bakery
Forgot to add the Swanky Fish to the list
Likely because I didn’t see it. Can you post the details I’ll add it to the post above
I got so excited because Gil came with a donut icon, and I thought it was for donut discounts
I was also offered Bob’s Victorian house, which I did snatch up because I meant to buy it last time, but time got away from me. I might buy a few of these others. We shall see. 🙂
SwankyFish is available too
Price isnt listed yet. Its coming in 2 days
Quimby is right times are desperate when you have to start selling Tshirts…..the golf course and condo looks good
You know after your town gets as big as it does it is hard to find things or remember what all you have. Is there anyway to list what items are new and what ones are repeats of past items?
On this list if there’s a Should I buy linked it’s returning. With the exception of the jet engine Bike (I can’t find if i did one) and the Farmer’s Market (because it was once free).
I can help….jet bike cool buy it good XP ….farmers market not so good.
😂😂😂
especially because i was able to dupe a bunch of the farmer’s markets during the inventory glitch… apparently at that time they were still listed as a craftable item. i really like this item, but 60 donuts seem a bit steep for it… wondering what kind of bonus multiplier, if any, will be added to it now that it costs donuts…
Super mad the golf couse is at a HUGE discount. Just a couple months ago I bought TWO bundles at 125 donuts each JUST to put a couple fairways by my country club and pro shop. From 250 donuts down to 120 in a couple months?! So glad I have never spent a REAL dime on this game! Lol
I give up. This game has become one big glitch after another. Life is too short to spend it constantly upset at a bunch of pixels. I quit. The end.
I’ve always wanted the Cool Brown House. With the rebate, I may have to do it even with Halloween coming up.
I wish I had more space in SH for the condos. I have things over there I could move but I’ve gotten attached to how it looks now. Decisions…
I already got my 100% bonus from the beach hideaways, but I might pick up a Jet Engine bike just because I don’t already have one.
Thinking about the Cool House too. I already have 2 premium skins for Homer (Stone Cutters and Mr. Plow) and a ton of other ones, but a 1 hour outside premium task would be nice for him.
I am upset because I really have always been jealous of those who have the Farmers Market… But Halloween is coming…. Decisions, decisions. 💸💸💸
To think I was a freemium player only a year ago 😂
Farmers market isn’t that special. It doesn’t fit any place logically. Other Boothe’s and tents we’ve received since don’t fit in with it by scale.
It’s more sentimental for me, unfortunately, which means I will most likely waste money on it. But I do appreciate the input 😊
I thought it fit in pretty logically in my town…but, I’ll let you be the judge…

Every town needs a farmers market. Mine has one big farmers market (made of two right next two each other), and a third one elsewhere in my town. I got them for free when we crafted them for that event, but I would never buy one for doughnuts.
I like the red tractor in your picture. I don’t have one. Great job with design Sandra. 🙂
My farmer’s market is right near my botanical gardens, recycling center, and Woodstock. I think it fits wuite logically there. I keep the hippie hanging out in that area, too.
I put mine by Cletus’ farm. It was the only place I could think of.
Mine’s between to my farm/orchard area and the slaughterhouse, and behind the supermarket, fudge factory, and cracker factory. My own little foodie district!
I love my farmers markets, but I got them for crafting during an event.
Will this be your first Halloween event? If so, and you don’t have a ton of donuts, it’d save them in case you can pick up Witch Marge. If you already have her, then I’d say it depends on how much you like Halloween stuff…will that stuff potentially bring you more joy than seeing the farmers markets in your town each day? That’s how I’d decide, I think…
It’s my 2nd Halloween event… I first started playing during Stonecutters but my game was lost 😩 picked back up for the Christmas event with the elf cannon… Lost that game too… Finally logged in with my EA account and have been playing faithfully every day since for probably almost a year and a half now. I wanted Witch Marge last year, and a ton of other Halloween stuff but didn’t have the donuts… Nowadays I am between freemium and premium so I am getting Witch Marge no matter what if she’s offered! Lol. I like how the farmers market looks in your town!
If I didn’t already own the Farmers Market I would have spent donuts on it as I really enjoy it. The character Wise Guy does have a job there in case you didn’t know. If you like the look of this building then 60 donuts is a good deal, I believe (someone correct me if I’m wrong) it is about an average price for stand alone building.
If he were offering the devil donuts cart, I would get that in a hot minute, but most of this isn’t too tempting. Maybe the golf course to go with my country club.
Oh yeah, no question! Something I’m jealous of my husband for having in his town.
Oh EA you are spooling us, in the last few weeks managed to get super collider, maple store, quick and fresh and teleporters, all things I have missed out on and wanted for various lengths of time! Now the cool brown house and I also love the look / idea of bookacinos, who doesn’t love a coffee and book shop. I just want bad dream house and the Mayan stuff at Halloween and a Black Friday deal on the stonecutters lodge if your taking requests! (We know EA get all their ideas from this site! 😄)
Or even “spoiling us” not sure what EA spooling us is but it sounds sinister………
I loved that Condos and Bookaccino… But as a freemium player with only 100 donuts by the moment, I’ll skip both and wait for Halloween… I hope that REALLY nice stuff be coming, otherwise I will cry in the corner lol
I´ve been wishing to have Asia de Cuba in my Springfield so long! But why no info about money and XP reward in the Gil deal box? In fact no info about any item. Is it because of the bonuts rebate?
Likely
First thing I snatched up 😂
STRUPO STATUE!!!! I have been wanting this FOREVER and never thought EA would bring it back. Freakin’ liqueur made of capers, who the heck comes up with this stuff?
Me Too!!! Loved that episode
I alEAdy have most of them and the rest no sale for Gill.
(Orgazining a mob to drive Gill out of my Springfield.)
I bought the condos because of Lenny, and the Butterfly Tent because it’s pretty.
Will get several BBQ Pigs for both towns !!
Hungry? 😊
Always room for pork !!!!!
I brought the condos … Shame on me huh?
Halloween is coming!!! So excited 👻 When do you think they will release a teaser? My guess is Saturday 1st or Monday 3rd
EA better do something exciting and memorable. PlEAse EA!
Slick on EA’s part. FORCE me to buy returning limited time stuff now (because you know I have to have it), THEN get me to buy more sprinklies for the totally cool Halloween goodies coming, (because you know I have to have it😂😂😂😂).
Great job Alissa, love the direct links to the original SIB’s!! Definitely helps😊
I think I will wait dor the SIB for the Springfielde Glenne Condos. Otherwise I am probably going to pass on the Gil deal.
Yay the plastic surgery center I’ve been wondering how to get it! I missed the first time it came out. :/ I’ve just always thought it would be perfect for my Springfield Heights area. Does it give you any real estate bonus for the heights like the condos do, if not they really should! It practically screams the heights! Also the cool Homer skin, will that turn him into a premium character? Any idea if Octoberfest is returning in between this and Halloween or is this replacing Octoberfest?
Condos is the only thing tempting me at first glance
😃 🇬🇧
Hi,
It looks like on my second wave of Gil’s offering that they are additionally offering the Swanky Fish too.
: )
I’m thinking I (we?) got that because I already have Asia de Cuba. I’m happy, I’ve been coveting Swanky Fish for a long time. Now where’s 3 Eyed Sushi? I’ve been saving a spot on my Squid port for years now!
I really want the swanky fish too. I’ve had my eyeballs on it since I first started playing this game, and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen it offered, but Halloween is so close. I’M SO CONFLICTED.
Rotten auto correct spelling.
As, as, as, NOT ask
Ask always, thank you for your efforts. BUT…
Halloween is too close, for me anyways, I’ll pass.
