Updated List (4/4/19) with Images Can be Found Here: https://tstoaddicts.com/2019/04/04/updated-cash-and-xp-bonus-awarded-for-items/
Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
In continuing the series of “what would you like to see on this site during the downtime” posts, we’re going to tackle another popular requested item. Many of you commented that you wanted to see more charts. More specifically…charts that show every item in the game that offers a Cash & XP bonus %, or just an XP bonus %.
So I’ve had a list together of these items and I once again collaborated with the King of Charts, Safi. We put our charts together and voila we’ve got ourselves a bonus percentage chart.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at a comprehensive list of items new and old, permanent and limited-time..that all own a bonus percentage…
Remember, in order to get credit for these bonus percentages the items MUST be in your Springfield. You will not get credit for items in your inventory...
Also, a quick way to check your visible bonus percentage simply tap on your conform-o-meter stars. That’ll bring up your conform-o-meter details and breakdown your overall bonus percentage in your game. (Note: This will NOT show your hidden XP bonus % from Springfield Heights items)
And now onto the chart…
Update…Please read this important Note: Regarding the Simpson Snowmen (Bart, Homer etc)…if you earned them during Christmas 2015 they will not earn a bonus %. EA released another version of them last Christmas (2015), that looked exactly the same but did not award a bonus %. So that’s why you’re not seeing a bonus % associated with them when you pull them from inventory. If your obtained them from a previous Christmas (2014, 2013 or 2012) they award the bonus % indicated on this chart. If you’re not sure when you got them…the simple test is to pull them from inventory and see if your meter goes up. If it doesn’t increase they’re from 2015, if it does you obtained them in one of the previous Christmases.
Items are listed in Alphabetical Order…and once again this list includes items that are Limited-Time and may not currently be available in the game for purchase.
Posting it again for those who may have missed it…Please read this important Note: Regarding the Simpson Snowmen (Bart, Homer etc)…if you earned them during Christmas 2015 they will not earn a bonus %. EA released another version of them last Christmas (2015), that looked exactly the same but did not award a bonus %. So that’s why you’re not seeing a bonus % associated with them when you pull them from inventory. If your obtained them from a previous Christmas (2014, 2013 or 2012) they award the bonus % indicated on this chart. If you’re not sure when you got them…the simple test is to pull them from inventory and see if your meter goes up. If it doesn’t increase they’re from 2015, if it does you obtained them in one of the previous Christmases.
And there you have it…all the current items in the game that offer a bonus % on cash and XP!
Now there are hidden, meaning they won’t show up on your Conform-O-Meter Bonus %, Bonuses on XP only available with Springfield Heights buildings. Here’s a quick breakdown of those…
Note: None of the main buildings need to be upgraded to have the bonus impact you. However, the Private Island (and the Private Island Only) needs to be on at least level 2 for the bonus to have an impact.

You wanted charts…you’ve got em! 😉
What are your thoughts on the bonus percentage charts? Do you have all available items out in your Springfield? Where’s your bonus percentage sitting? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!



















































































































































…..ps. I wondered if we. could plse have pics against the SH buildings info. I often forget which is which because I’m dumb. No worries if not poss……💜X
done 🙂
Thanks Alissa. Much appreciated😊…..💜X
Totally inappropriate, but Alissa & Safi😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘Got my Nativity out of storage & all of my SH stuff “tastefully” 🙈dotted around my SP & levelled up for 3 Donuts straightaway. You two are da bomb. Thank you😎…….💜X
🙂 very cool!
Just a little piece of advice, DON’T PUT Snowball II snowcat and Santa’s Little Helper Snowdog in your storage ! I just did to check if they were gaining extra xp&$ and they just disappeared, nowhere in my storage nor in my Springfield ! Luckily, as I collected them last winter, I didn’t lose any XP&$ bonus. Anyway, I’m very sad they are gone :'( and hope they’ll be back next Christmas…
The Santa’s Little Helper Snowdog you crafted last Christmas did not give you a bonus, just the one you bought.
This is so useful. Found a Bart Snowman in my inventory and shoved it behind a building – it was the only thing I had in there from this list, but it all helps.
The Exclusive Resort in SH has no bonus? That’s not the kind of exclusivity I would expect from an exclusive resort. Thanks for the list! Now I know where to focus my bulking and buying energy.
Building and buying… sigh.
Has anyone noticed any buildings go missing from their towns in the last couple of days..? I’ve found a couple of empty spaces on my streets that I swear had buildings in them previously and can’t find them anywhere been through inventory and looked all over town just encase I accidentally moved them but nothing!
Could it be a temporary visual glitch?
Amazing work! Thank you.
I discovered my Festive Light Plunger was in storage!!! Ahhhh. But took it out.
This is an excellent reference guide Alissa. Thanks Alissa, good call.
I have a quick math question. One brown house yields 1 XP but after my bonus it yields 40 XP. If I’m understanding the hidden XP then that’s a total of around 150% with all SH buildings out added to my stated bonus at 504% gives mes roughly 654% total. But that would yield no more than 33 XP (with collider on). 1×6.5=6.5 XP
6.5×5=32.5 XP (with collider)
If I’m getting 40 XP than my bonus should be around 800% total right?
1×8=8 XP
8×5=40 XP (with collider)
Kind of a moot point but just curious if there’s more hidden XP items?? Or I just suck at math and someone here will correct me 😂
654 bonis total. So you get 754% of any stated amount of XP as you already normally get 100% of that. This is then rounded up, so 7.54 becomes 8. Then times 5 for collider means 40.
Think about it differently. Brown house is 1xp at 0% with no 5x, no hidden %. If you’re payout is 40xp, 1xp is normal payout. 39xp is from % and 5x. On items with very low xp payout TSTO does some crazy rounding. Find a building or character that payouts out 100xp and you get more accurate results.
Also SH is 153% if you have 3 Private Islands.
Thanks, I always buy before I look. Of course I have everything but didn’t know which created bonuses. Thanks!
I’ve gone through my inventory a couple times looking for bonuses and using other lists and I’m careful about not storing anything new with a bonus, but I still managed to dig up 4 items totally 2.25% sitting in storage 🙂
Thank you so much for putting this together, Alissa and Safi, and thanks to all of you who commented about finding “buried treasures” in your inventory. I just went through my inventory and found stuff, too, which really surprised me. I’ve upped my percentage by 3.75% (it could have been another 1.5%, but I’m just not willing to have the nativity creche out all year long…too big and nowhere that it fits in!), which will translate to 18.75% with the collider!
Fits right next to the church 😉
Snowball II Snowcat. How could I have neglected you for so long in storage!? :'( 😀
Thanks so much for this post, Alissa!
And thank you, Safi, too! x
My humblest apologies for the double post, I’ll go back to lurking lol.
lol don’t worry we’ve got ways to fix them 🙂
And we love when lurkers comment, do it more often 🙂
Another excellent post guys, thanks for your efforts.
I’m a multiplier freak and have just passed the 2000% mark,
I have been playing since whacking day and have spent a lot of cash on this game lol.
With the jet bike getting a rebate very soon I think my multiplier may be taking another hike.
How does the hidden Springfield Heights Bonus work?
For example for the Modern Mansion do I need to have all the add ons out or is is good enough to upgrade the mansion to level 5 and just have that one building out or do I need everything out to get the 5%
Just the main building needs to be out, accessories for the hidden bonus have no impact.
The hideaway is different though, that’s a traditional cash and XP bonus, and all accessories need to be out to get credit for the hideaway.
Currently at 120% excluding my Springfield Heights bonus! Thanks for this, Alissa and Safi 🙂
I have a question for the crowd… Do the Springfield Heights buildings need to be fully upgraded to get the hidden bonus? If they do, do they need to have all their additional parts displayed (like all the modern mansion additions)? Thanks in advance!! Oh, and thanks of course to the TSTO Addicts team for all their hard work!!!
No and the parts don’t need to be out either…
The Island does need to be at at least Level 2 though.
Thank you. Please eventually provide a direct link, this is excellent reference.
BTW, I gather that there is a difference between the dozen
PATRIOTIC BOX OF FIREWORKS that I have, and
BOX OF FIREWORKS.
I pulled the former out of storage, restarted my game and no change in my multiplier.
Yup i’m reworking the menus and links 🙂 Everything should be fully reworked by Monday
Thank you for the chart! I’ve been playing for three years before I found your blog and was periodically checking everything in my inventory for bonus percentages. This will definitely save time. I have learned a few other things too. So thanks again.
Oh and I use my half melted snowpeople as ghosts around Homer’s graves so I never put them away. Thebeachcrab.
I am at 291% got All.
You guys are just awesome! I really wanted this!
Thanks!
Thanks, so much, for the info! I went through my inventory a few months ago, looking for bonus percentages, but I missed a handful. Now, they’re all out! Thanks!!
Thanks Alissa, I added like 20% more by pulling some of the stuff outta my inventory….and thanks for the tip about the snowman. Though I only noticed the French flag giving me bonus, but not the American flag, but it wasn’t part of that bundle so maybe I got the wrong flag.
🙂
CBOOMBOOM- The USA flag with the larger base does not have a % multiplier. Hence why I have 30 in storage now. The smaller base ones have the bonus…..💜X
The ‘American’ flag (large base) doesn’t have a bonus, but the ‘United States’ flag (small base, included with the Flag Bundle) does. That’s how you can tell them apart in your inventory; I just bought a Flag Bundle & was wondering how I could tell them apart w/out placing them & noticed the difference in names. 😊
This is great info! And I had no idea that all those Springfield Heights buildings added so much bonus.
I do wish that the bonus counted even if the item was in storage though. The “dump” section of my town would be more attractive if I didn’t have to put all the items I don’t currently want in my town somewhere to not lose the bonus …
I big thank you as well re SH hidden bonuses. Part of my SH is alsonow less attractive, but added 85% in hidden bonuses!
Thanks for a great post. The KEM post was great too. I feel like I have a good grasp as to how to play this game, but your posts are always really helpful and informative and make playing efficient and fun.
So…thanks again for all the hard work.
🙂
I am a List Lover – thus I want to thank you both Safi and Alissa for putting this together.
As you know, lists can be sorted in multiple ways – alphabetical (A-Z) but also numbarical (High number – Low number). I love the list but which it was oginized Highest percentage to lowest — though I can look myself, there are lazy people out there 😛
lol actually I’m cleaning up a google doc version to link so you can sort as you wish…but that version won’t have images. Can only do so much at one time 😉
That’s great! (But see my earlier comment about a crowdsourcing idea…you deserve to have a life, lol!)
Oh it’s already in a spreadsheet lol
Great post . Thanks for putting in the effort , we all appreciate it
Thanks for the heads up on the Bart snowman. I had it in storage. Funny thing is I have duplicate grandpa and Maggie snowmen but neither gave an increase. I guess I got them both last year
Also if that ghost pirate ship comes back I’m in trouble.
Wow! How long did this take you?? 😃 Very helpful and it is encouraging that you are straight way responding to the ‘What we want’ post.
Unrelated: Is there a WAWW in the making or drafts for THOH 2016 😉 I really look forward to them. Even more if he mentioned me in it *wink wink*
It’s hard to do a WAWW post when Wookiee is super busy with school…
This took long enough lol Thankfully I had a list started, and Safi had a list..so combining them cut down a bunch of time.
And…I don’t ask for what y’all want, if I have no intention of doing it 😉 Like I said…downtime, site clean up…perfect time to give you guys some posts you’ve been looking for.
Shame. I would love to do a guest post going through ALL THOH episodes and saying what content I want for each episode – got way too much time on my hands 😁
Wait and see what’s launching next week 😉
Doesn’t that defeat the point of it if the event has already hit? 😉 Lol
Notice I said launches…meaning it’s a new series coming
Oooooooh 😃 How exciting!
I’m in Awe! – that is a lot of information and now I need to go check my inventory, I’m sure I stored some of these things.
Thank you, thank you for all of your time and hard work.
