Should I Spend Donuts on Hooch City?

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

The booze is out of Springfield!  It’s a battle of Homer vs. the 18th Amendment, with whiskey on the line…or just that wonderful Duff.  So grab those sprinkles because the store is packed with boozey inspired items to fill your Springfield with!

As we all know, that limited-time label can tempt us 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 Hooch City to your Springfield?  Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this self-serve wine station to your town…

Rollback Glitch

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Seeing loads of reports (more so each day) coming in from players indicating their games suddenly think it’s a year or more ago!  They’re seeing questlines and tasks popup from events that happened months and even years ago. Examples include (but not limited to): Being asked to collect Red Ribbons (from County Fair), Pie Man questlines appearing (from Superheros) and more!

In addition, players may lose all new content related to Homer vs. the 18th Amendment!

If this happens to you…..

Unfortunately, there is no quick fix I can offer you. Uninstall/reinstall won’t help.  What you’ll have to do is contact EA directly and likely they’ll have to roll your game back a day or two in order to correct the issue. You can contact EA here:

Hopefully, that helps those of you struggling with this issue out!  Unfortunately, while I wish I could, there’s no quick fix I can offer.  This is the best/only way to get your individual game corrected.

Where Did That Come From? – Meathook, Poppa Wheelie, Hooch City and More…

As with most TSTO events these days, this event is kind of an amalgam of several different Simpsons Episodes, pulled together with a loose storyline, to make the TSTO make sense…mostly.

In this case, there are two primary episodes from which most of the content is being pulled, one obvious…and one not so obvious. But both, with the same over-arching theme…boozing and running wild.

Now, I’ve certainly had more than my share of carousing in my life…mostly revolving around Rugby, being in a band, and just being a kid who liked to party.  But, I admit, I was never one to fall prey to the ritualistic partying that goes with St. Patrick’s Day, or the general mayhem that seems to be part of being in a gang. Although it could be argued that Rugby teams have a sort of “gang mentality” to them from an onlooker’s point of view. But, I assure you…rugby teams are nothing like Motorcycle gangs. To begin with, we don’t have motorcycles. But, the rest…well…there are some similarities in our group think-group drink mentality.

And, in this particular episode of the Simpsons…Drinking, Carousing, Rough-Housing, and absconding another man’s woman, are all points that could certainly draw similarities.

Let’s take a look at where HALF of the TSTO stuff comes from in this update!
