Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Well happy 2017 everyone! Hope everyone has had an enjoyable start to the New Year and a close to 2016. Personally, I’ve been enjoying the downtime in the game and at work. We’ve been doing a ton of family stuff the last week and spending loads of time with the Tiny Addict. She’s growing up so fast!
Anyway, it’s time to get “back in the saddle” here at Addicts HQ. So while we gear up for the Homer the Heretic mini event to hit our games tomorrow (Jan 3rd), I thought I’d take the time now (before we get to busy with the new content) to breakdown the details of the “Cash only” Lemon of Troy items and Founders Character Collection.
We broke down the details of how to unlock these items here, so this is more a breakdown of what each item does, what it has to offer and any questlines associated with it. Kind of like a Should I Buy…without the opinions. So let’s breakdown these “cash only” items, shall we?
Before I get into everything, I figured I should offer the full disclosure that I own each item at this point. If you’re going to spend money on donuts it’s nice to get a little bonus with it. BUT I’m not going to offer my opinion about what you should/shouldn’t buy. This involves spending actual cash…and it’s going to depend on what you’re comfortable doing in that regard. So instead, I’ll just breakdown each item and let y’all decide what you like/don’t like.
Another note, I am posting the dialogue in this post for the decorations/items. However, I won’t post the dialogue for the characters here. I’ll post the Turbo Tappin’ in this post..full dialogue will be in another post. So just a heads up…
So we’ll start with the items/decorations first and then work our way to the characters.
I’ll start with the most expensive item…the Shelbyville Manhattan Statue.
So you’ll earn the statue when you purchase a boatload of 2,400 donuts. In the US this costs $99.99, the price will vary in other countries depending on the taxes and tariffs for your country. EA only collects the $99.99 USD, anything over that goes to Apple/Google.
Anywho…here are the statue details:
Size: 6×5
Bonus %: Earns 10% on all cash and XP (yes, 10%)
Conform-O-Meter Impact: Vanity +200
Now, the statue is just a statue. There’s no animation, or jobs, associated with it. It’s just a statue…like the statue of Jeb you can get if you tap Homer 10 times. But it does have a little dialogue that’ll appear if you’ve purchased Shelbyville Manhattan as well. Here’s what will popup:
Statue of Liberties
Shelbyville Manhattan starts
Shelbyville: Look at this magnificent statue of me. Such attention to detail.
Marge: They really captured your pioneering spirit!
Shelbyville: Yes, not to mention my pervy smile and leering eyes. And every last curve of my beautiful, voluptuous cousins.
Marge: I’m sorry, did you say “cousins”?
Shelbyville: Yes. My relatives, kin, almost-sisters. You know, the people you marry.
Marge: I’m sorry, Mr. Manhattan, but these days that sort of behavior is looked down upon. And is illegal.
Cletus: Don’t worry, feller, not everyone in this town is against your ideas. My family welcomes ya with open arms!
Shelbyville: That’s exactly how I used to welcome my cousins!
Next up I’ll breakdown the Car Impound Lot…
So you’ll earn the lot when you purchase a store full of 900 donuts. In the US this costs $49.99, the price will vary in other countries depending on the taxes and tariffs for your country. EA only collects the $49.99 USD, anything over that goes to Apple/Google.
Anywho…here are the lot details:
Size: 14×12
Earns: $200, 22xp/8hrs
Conform-O-Meter Impact: Obedience +10
The Impound Lot does come with a questline, and tasks. However, once the questline is complete it doesn’t look like there are any tasks at the Impound Lot. Here’s the questline:
That’s A Lot Pt.1
Marge starts
Marge: Get dressed, Homie, we’re having a date night!
Homer: I don’t know, our last “date night” was just a trick to get me to that AA meeting…
Marge: The Car Impound Lot is re-opening as a nightclub. It’s called The ‘Pound! With an apostrophe even! Now THAT’S hip!
Squeaky Voiced Teen: Welcome to The ‘Pound, may I valet your car?
Make Springfielders Attend the Grand Opening- x10. 8hrs, Earns $275, 70xp Freemium and $420, 105xp Premium
That’s A Lot Pt. 2
Marge starts
Marge: What a cool nightclub. You could tell it was fancy because the bathroom attendants acted REALLY entitled to a tip.
Homer: Can you pull around the pink sedan, my good man?
Squeaky Voiced Teen: Sure. That’ll be $250.
Homer: $250?! How is that possible?
Squeaky Voiced Teen: It’s still a Car Impound Lot too.
Make Homer Look Under the Car Seats For Loose Change- 4hrs, $260, 70xp
And now onto Ned’s Winnebago…
So you’ll earn the Winnebago when you purchase a tray of 132 donuts. In the US this costs $9.99, the price will vary in other countries depending on the taxes and tariffs for your country. EA only collects the $9.99 USD, anything over that goes to Apple/Google.
Anywho…here are the winnebago details:
Size: 6×3
Bonus %: Earns 2% on all cash and XP
Conform-O-Meter Impact: Vanity +200
So this is another one of those this item is just an item deals. The Winnebago, is just a decoration. There’s no animation, or jobs, associated with it. But it does have a little dialogue that’ll appear when purchased. Here’s what will popup:
When Life Gives You Lemons
Ned starts
Ned: Hey Homer, what do you say we scamper to my newly-repaired camper? Sip some tea in my fixed RV! Get behind the wheelicle of my recreational vehicle!
Homer: Dammit, Flanders! Rhymes aren’t jokes!
Ned: Neither is going “Mmm” and drooling whenever you hear the name of a food.
Homer: Well played. Oh, by the way, I might’ve accidentally strapped another lemon tree to your camper and crushed the roof…
Ned: What?! You made fini of Mini-Wini!
Homer: Mmm, mini-weenies. *drools*
Now it’s time to move onto the characters. Again, I’ll just be posting the Turbo Tappin’ questline for each here. Full dialogue will come along in another post…
I’ll start with Mr. Manhattan…
So you’ll earn Shelbyville Manhattan when you purchase a stack of 60 donuts. In the US this costs $4.99, the price will vary in other countries depending on the taxes and tariffs for your country. EA only collects the $4.99 USD, anything over that goes to Apple/Google.
