Should I Spend Donuts on the Cat Bus?

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Fall has arrived and there’s a haze over our Springfield’s, that can only mean one thing….it’s Halloween in our pocket-sized towns! This year EA’s thrown a little magic into the mix, with an Angelica Button theme invading our towns.  An all new event means loads of new premium items in our stores just tempting us to drop those donuts while they’re hot!

Of course with that limited-time label, it can be tempting to grab everything in sight because it’ll be gone soon.  But don’t sweat it!  That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.

Wondering if you should add the Cat Bus to your Springfield?  Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this Cheshire Otto to your town…

Note: Unless EA makes changes, this will be the last NEW premium item added to the game for this event. 

Building/Decoration: Cat Bus
Donut Cost: 45 Donuts
Size: 4×7
Earns: 1.5% bonus on all cash and XP
Conform-O-Meter: Vanity +100

Leaves stores November 14th

Pros
-Comes with dialogue (just a decoration so no task there)
-Animated when tapped. Headlights turn on and the bus “stretches”
-Sound when tapped, meows

Cons
-No benefit for the event
-Bonus % isn’t great for donuts spent.  Usually, like to see it at 2% for 40 donuts…in this case, for 45 donuts I’d expect to see it at 2% (not 1.5%).

Final Thought
Premium or Freemium:
I do like this one.  It’s different and it’s fun.  Reasonable cost for donuts too.  I do wish the bonus % was a bit higher, but it’s not awful.  This is also the last new premium item for this event, so if you like it grab it.  Otherwise, pass and save your donuts for the next event.

Of course, in the end, it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do…and as I premium player I’ll probably be picking it up.  But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).

Here’s a look at the questline…

Lisa: That’s the most adorable form of school transportation I’ve ever seen! Those giant eyes, the grin, it’s chunky paws.  I would ride that to school every day.
Milhouse: Ush, my eyes are itching, my throat’s closing up…oh, no! Add Cat Buses to my list of allergies!
