Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Now that we’re waiting for the snow to be removed from our Springfield’s, I thought it would be a good time to take a look back at the Conform-O-Meter impact for both the Winter Event and Homer the Heretic. Both events brought bunch of new and old items to our Springfield’s (mostly old), so let’s take a look at how these items impact our Conform-O-Meter…
The Conform-O-Meter is an important part of Tapped-Out because it provides you with a bonus boost in your cash and XP from everything you collect in the game. When you achieve a 5-Star Town (it’s max rating) you will receive a 5% bonus on all money and XP collected in your town. If you missed the previous Conform-O-Meter posts check here for the basics and here for how many points you’ll need to reach 5 stars.
While the Winter & Homer the Heretic events brought no changes to the Conform-O-Meter requirements, it did bring a bunch of buildings and decorations. So let’s take a look at how all of the new “goodies” impact our rating:
First we’ll start with Winter 2016…

What were your thoughts on the Winter or Homer the Heretic Event? Ready for the snow to be over? Which buildings/items did you win/earn? How’s your conform-o-meter doing? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
So I didn’t get the ice palace thing which means I couldn’t do the Martin task with it. I was hoping the task would go away with the update. It hasn’t. Do you know if it will or is that a question for EA?
Looks like the update is in the Play store. Haven’t dl’ed, I’m on mobile.
Takedown just hit the server, but not the stores yet. 4 new items.
Why is the snow still here?!?! Aaarrrgghhhh!!! I dislike it very much and it’s making it very hard to redesign my town
Snow likely will be leaving today.
how long does a job have to be open before it moves to the storage box?
It varies. Sometimes it’s just a matter of how many tasks you currently have open and their relevancy to what’s going on in the game.
I have tried over and over to clear the singing stones. Homer is free and still nothing. Please help, how do I clear the stones?
Thanks, Christy

the update is here and its huge and not in the app store
Just checked and I did not see anything. I’d expect the update to be through the app store. Maybe your phone did the whole redownload everything snafu I’ve heard from other people.
must have 868.6mb and nothing changed
I use the time between events to restock my game cash reserves and some reshuffle of buildings. So I fine with this pause.
Surprising that none of the Homer the Heretic items increase righteousness.
So funny that we had (sorta) back-to-back religious-themed events, and only one item that gives Righteousness.
Of course, Righteousness is the only thing I don’t have at 5 stars. Lol @ me. (I of course scooped up the Nativity Scene immediately.)
Buy some training walls.
Kinda nice event, but dragged out too long, even with being basically two events. I liked the pagan approach after multiple Christmas events.
I hope that an appstore update hits soon, taking the snow and especially the annoying unfinished Nerd Princess questline with it. I’d be fine with a lull now, maybe one week or so, before another event hits.
Pssstt! Trainingwalls! Hidden behind buildings!
