Final Thought
Premium or Freemium:
Hard to find big faults with this one. If you like it grab it, otherwise pass.
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 picked 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 it comes with….
Gas Pipes
Willie starts
Willie: I heard you was lookin’ for an outlaw musician? No instrument is more outlawed than the venerable bagpipes.
Otto: Woah, man, that’s not what I meant by outlaw.
Willie: Too late, long haired laddie. Once a Scotsman unsheathes his bagpipes they cannae resheathed until ears have bled!
Otto: Dude, now that’s a jam I can get behind. Strap in and rock on, man!
Make Willie Play the Bagpipes of Wrath- 8hrs
Willie: Hear Me!

Here in Czech Republic I am also having a problem to log in. It has been at least 9 hours.
About the whole of Europe can’t login EA’s servers and it not only TSTO.
First noticed server problems about five hours ago, couldn’t log out of my B town. Can’t get past Bart screen on my other device.
Yep. Getting the message “EA server unavailable. Can not connect at this time. Please try again later.” Do notthe BART screen but won’t let me in.
Mine is down as well 🙃
central europe here & still can not log in
Can’t connect too..

I’ve been having issues trying to log in for the last 7/8 hours.
I started with having to re-enter my password only to be told it wasn’t working so I reset it. Not paying attention to my password not being accepted I tapped on the home screen and was taken to start a new game. Other than that effort, I’ve had no luck with either my password being accepted and now I can’t even try to log-in.
I was ahead on the event but I don’t want to miss a whole day – I’m in Australia, so this means I’ve missed all afternoon and evening which would have been 3 lots of tapping before going to bed.
Been unable to reach server for 4 hours. Last Tuesday it was only 2 hours. I need my fix. I would have finished the prize track by now. This is costing me donuts!
Logged in at 5am GMT ok. Logged in 2 hours later and told me I had been logged out of origin account. So signed back in but can’t access game since. First time in months this has happened to me too. Has everyone got this problem?
So servers down!! Was planning a day of redesigning but never mind. Will go back to weather watching to see if “The Beast from the East” storm arrives in my part of the UK!! 🌨🌨🌨
The Beast from the East must have passed Holland. It left my hometown with a staggering layer of snow of two millimeters 😁
lol – no snow in Germany, but below zero temperatures even during the day. Unpleasant!
I’m in Australia and have missed most of my daytime logins today. Fingers crossed for an extra day on the event…
EA should do that, it is their fault. They put their servers in maintenance mode. Maybe we get some sprinkles as compensation.
I feel your pain.
Any one else having issues logging in? Uninstalled and reinstalled but no lucj. First time in a long time this has happened to me.
Here in the UK “Cannot connect to Server” been like it since 8am UK time – fast approaching 4 hours and a cycle of activity lost. At least I know it is not just me!
Yes, I have an issue. My Android phone is not connecting, but my Bluestacks Android emulator on my laptop lets me in.
What is Bluestacks? Do you know if it works on an Apple Mac computer?
Bluestacks is program to emulate Android programs on the PC.
There is an Apple version, that is an old one (2015) and will not run any programs anymore.
Thanks for the info.
I got the Bart screen at about 1:15am (Eastern Standard Time – Massachusetts, USA). After a couple of retries to log in, the game signed me out and I haven’t been able to get back in. Now (7:30am) I’m getting a message “EA Network Unavailable”. “The EA network cannot be reached at this time. Please try again later.” I hate when you can’t log in during events. Seems to be the only time it happens, although EA rarely lets us have much down time. There’s always some type of event (big or mini) going on in the game. Hope their network is back really soon. Missing out on valuable tapping time.
I’m having problems connecting to the game at the moment- sick of seeing the Bart screen of death! I’m in the UK, it’s been down since 6.30 GMT. Hope it’s back soon, don’t want to fall behind in the event and let the ruffians wreck Springfield!
Same in Aus, down all evening.
same here in Yorkshire…grrrrrr
My game has been down for the last two hours grrrr missing out on collecting gas
I think you are all sleeping but as of about 830 HI time servers down. It’s been over 2 hours so major outage
Absolutely love it! ❤😂
Anyone else having trouble longing in? Tried uninstall, reinstall on one device that went fine. Load game for the first time “warning large file” ya’da ya’da….but won’t even download that “cannot connect to server” keeps popping up…. Anyone?
phff…. never mind… I should have done a little more looking first. EA has it shut down for maintenance 😝
Tyou’re not the only one 😢
Sheesh… has someone stolen my CrankyOld Brain? I think this thing is hilarious!
Bagpipe Bus – grateful for the Bonus %, but I had to get this for Willie to get his bagpipes on (most of what is available to Craft for Outlands wasn’t worth it)😀
I quite disagree about the animation. Willie playing the pipes while hanging from a wrecked school bus is hilarious 😆 😆
BTW: EA’s servers are down 🤬
Instant buy for me!
I was so excited to see that they actually included this piece. Woohoo!
near end of event gonna try build up some doughnuts so pass on this
Loooooove it! It is my favorite part of the event!
Picked up. Don’t like it. One of the first premium items I grabbed that I immediately was disappointed by. Really hate the animation. Bummer.
Moe’s Express is the best buy of the event.
I agree! 😉
Yup…no contest…the Outlands Simpsons’ house with Maggie in the tree is second, and Willie with the bus is third for me.
This will be one of the permanent fixtures when the dust settles in my Outlands area. Most of the playground stuff will go, but Willie will have a place with the bus long after this event ends. 😍😍😍
This is the first event where there wasn’t at least one premium item that I wanted. The event itself isn’t too bad but on the whole I haven’t found anything worth spending my sprinklies on. I’m passing on this.
Not even Wendel or the barflies?
I like it. I got it right away. I just wish it had bagpipe sounds. 🙂
Or do i? lol.
I felt kinda let down when I tapped it after I bought it and it didn’t have any bagpipe squeeze sound 🙁
The Spider Willy has a bagpipe soundclip. It sounds horribly 🤣
Seems like they could have attached the same sound byte to the bus, right? How hard could it be…🤨
My thoughts exactly.
Like Mad Max: Fury Road? Then the only answer should be “heck, YES!!!!” As a few of our other addicts say – “Instant Buy”.
Instant buy for me, absolutly no regret.
grabbed this one right away. Willie’s 8 hour task pays out more gas than 2 4 hour fort tasks.
I wish I didn’t.. I thought I would like it more but I really only like it with Willie. If it was a 4-hour task instead of an 8-hour task I’d be happier.
