Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s that time of the week again, time for the Addicts Weekly Open Thread! So, let’s get the conversation going! Oh and remember…just because this is posted here today doesn’t mean you can’t comment on it all week long. This open thread will still be open for comments long after today is over!
Here’s where you can talk about anything you want to talk about…TSTO Related, Simpson’s Related or ANYTHING. Just no Add me requests…those should go here. We’ll give you a few suggestions (like most Sunday’s you can talk about the current episode of the Simpsons) but for the most part you’re free to talk about ANYTHING your little Tapping Fingers desire…just keep it PG.
So, here is your Open Thread…..
The Simpsons are back this week with an all-new episode! What do you think will happen in this week’s episode?
Act 2 of The Springfield Jobs hit this past Friday, what’s your take on Act 2 so far? Any design plans for all the England stuff?
How’d you fare with Act 1? Collect all the prizes? Work out your Italian designs?
How about the rest of your weekend? Anything fun and exciting going on?
So chat about the Simpsons, TSTO, Update fun, or anything else you can think of! (Just no politics, it never ends well) Can’t wait to chat with you all, you know we love hearing from you!
Have Fun! And happy Sunday!
Hmm no sign of Mab this week now I’m concerned he’s committing mass TSTO addict genocide as we’re all going to fade from existence without the list. 😓😰😱😨
Good evening all addicts, fairly new player here. Can anyone advise on how I can unlock premium characters in my TSTO store? Would like to bring Greta Wolfcastle into my town but the preparatory school is not in my store for purchase. Already unlocked her papa.
Thanks everyone.
Sorry…you’ll just have to wait it out…they come and go, but there is no schedule. The good news, is that they are many times Less expensive as “returning items.”
The vault, eh?
https://forums.ea.com/en/the-simpsons-tapped-out/discussion/comment/1724741/#Comment_1724741
Basically, there are 4 slots of offers in the vault, each slot rolling through it’s own list of items. Every Wed 8:00 am GMT you’ll get the next item for each slot.
When you buy an unique item it will be removed from the list.
At the end slot 4 will consist of 6 non-unique items.
You missed Greta Wolfcastle? The next should be Dr. Nick Ribeira… Also a great buy. 21 weeks later you will find Greta again 🙂

I knew there’s been a more readable version…
I’ve been sick with the osaka flu for like almost two weeks now so I wasn’t able to earn Nana Sophia. I had to pay 25 donuts for her. I wish she would say “Idiota!”. It’s hilarious when she calls Millhouse a female version of an idiot in Italian. I’m barely getting getting masks so i’ve been dropping off crooks in threes to friends when I can. I sent three on over to MAB yesterday 😉
It’s almost 9 pm here and no MAB yet…can’t finish up a Sunday without a post from MAB. 😬 Where are you? Are you still buried in packing boxes?
i was thinking the same thing. MAB, where are you?
I hope your feeling better
Get well soon . 🌷 🌸 🌹 🌺 🌻 🌼 🍩 🎈

Actually, “idiota” in italian can be used on males and females alike ^^
Was recently in a neighbors town. Saw a character I’ve never seen before. Was wearing a green type of armour. When I clicked on it made my screen flash white twice. Who is that?
Not sure how but my goggle search came up with Ted Danson, pretty sure that’s wrong haha
Battling Seizure Robot
Sounds like the Battling Seizure Robot

Petroleus Rex?
That’s the Battling Seizure Robot released during the Destination Springfield Event in February 2017. It was the robot Lisa and Bart saw on TV while vacationing in Japan which caused them to have seizures.
It’s an NPC

Any news on the glitch? My collection radius is still super small. The rail yard doesn’t work. And the character icon is not working. Called EA they said would roll back. …never happened.heard thwy were not doing any more roll backs. so now I wait?
Anyone know anything?
Welcome to the club. For this rollback glitch phoning EA is useless. Rollbacks are no longer offered. When games were rolled backed people would contract bug again..pointless. There’s a patch coming…However as each month passes I grow more skeptical,
No matter what the rep says to you……Yes they will do roll backs. Do not accept EA’s canned boiler plate copy & pasted answers, and (while always remaining polite) INSIST THEY ROLL YOUR GAME BACK.
Here is a post I posted on HOW TO GET YOUR GAME FIXED when hit with this glitch with TWO known solutions:

Here is a post I posted on how to play with your broken game while you follow the steps in the above post to get your game fixed….
https://forums.ea.com/en/the-simpsons-tapped-out/discussion/comment/1915181/#Comment_1915181
When I first logged in after the launch of Act 2, in the game store it said that Plato’s Republic Casino with Johnny Tightlips would help with heists. I thought that would be cool and that the next day with some farming I could buy it. But the next time I looked at the store in the game, the “help with heists” was removed.
Was this an initial error by EA that they corrected or does Johnny Tightlips really help with heists?
He helps
My event broke this morning. When I went to my town, the entire event was missing. After rebooting, I’ve got some of the event back but no police agents in my town and none in my friends towns. While I still have the items I’ve crafted, the prize track doesnt show that i’ve got them. And all of my event currency is gone. My questlines are also all gone.
Anyone else have issues? So far the “help” from EA is useless.
If you had the rollback glitch, how did you resolve it? I’m getting no where with EA (3 different attempts) and not able to progress thru act 2. This sucks…any help would be greatly appreciated.
You’re really not able to progress through the event? I’ve had the glitch for about a month now and have been able to complete everything
I’ve hat it strike twice so far and in both instances I called EA (first time Monday after it happened Sunday morning, second time during the week so that I could call them right away) and had my games rolled back to Saturday and the previous day, respectively. I’ve now moved the game from storage card (adpoted storage in Android) into internal memory, hoping that in some way that was part of the problem.
I have serious doubts that the final fix (if they ever come up with one) will be more than corruption prevention rather than also fixing broken games in addition. I’d be very surprised if there will not be a rollback required to get the game functional again, thereby losing all progress since the point that the game got corrupted.
I may be wrong with this guess, but I’d rather stop playing in case they refused to roll back than continue playing (in a very painful way with the broken functionality) and then still losing all earned progress. I’d not be happy either way, but earning AND losing would feel more painful.
Act 2 has the only thing I really want to keep from this event, Tar…er I mean Police Boxes. I’m up to 5 so Peter Davison is covered…still need 8 more though, lol
Surely you can’t forget to get a T.A.R.D.I.S for the war doctor too.
Anyone else having problems when logging into Tapped Out? Starting about 4 days ago, every time I log in at the beginning of a day it doesn’t recognize me, I have to sign in and wait for ALL the updates to load (over 700MB!!!). Any thoughts on how to help.
Clear up space in your phone it won’t happen. It’s doing it because you don’t have enough free space on your phone
I guess I am very lucky.
I have had 0.0000 problems with this game. Everything works exactly as it is supposed to. Been playing almost since the beginning. And on various devices over the years, Android and iOS. No problems at all. Luck is on my side so far.
I’ve been saying that as well until two weeks ago. I’ve had the glitch infect my main game twice. Consider youself lucky as long as it stays this way.

I did not recognize all of yours
Some of the local talent, I guess. I doubt that they are known outside of Germany. Or even outside Munich…
For Omnipotent….
Here’s a list of 10 my favorite things (that you don’t have yet).
The first two are a tie, either one would be a good next purchase…
Kamp Krusty, The Stone Cutter’s Lodge, The Springfield Sign, Duff Brewery, Duff Stadium, any of the Waterfalls, Tom O’Flanagan’s Pub,
The Aztec Theater, The Bad Dream House, and Moe’s Express. I don’t think any of them are part of the normal Level Up quests, but it’s been a while, so I could be wrong. Some of these have great tasks with characters, some are just iconic to the game, but they’re all pretty fun and lend themselves well to building vignettes around them. Hope this helps😄
Thank you, much appreciated =)
Doing some redesigning in my town and serious problems with my airport, can’t get it right and its next to my event area, have undone some plopper areas and stored some items that weren’t earning but the airport design eludes me, very frustrating, nothing points the way I need it.
I made up an album page on Flickr of 10 of my neighbor’s airport designs, all different kinds of designs. Maybe it will help? Here’s the link. Have fun😁.

love your image of oblina. I have a sericel of “real monsters” hanging in the laundry room. excellent show.
My two favorite animated shows..Real Monsters and Animaniacs. I originally was going to choose Slappy Squirrel for my icon, but Oblina won out👍😄.
whos dropping bags of money in the background of the loading screen?
Is it Arthur Fortune maybe?
who?
I think he’s from the Loch Ness monster episode….
I was just at the Forbidden Palace in Beijing a couple weeks ago (that looks like the location of your Bart and Milhouse picture). The door layout and color, the background building architecture and the smog are all acurate.
Anyone else getting continuous updates? Almost every day an it logs me out all the time. So annoying!
It’s a space issue on your device. Free up some space should stop.
Hi Alissa,
I’ve been waiting for a Westminster Abbey SIB post..
It has to be a Yes, right?
🤦♀️ it just hit the game friday. I’d hate to see how anxious you get at Christmas waiting for Santa….
Did someone say Santa Claus ? 🐕 ( One happy puppy . )

After over 4 years of playing, I have finally reached 1,000% on the bonus xp. It’s a proud moment haha. Happy Sunday to all!
How were you able to get that high of a percentage?
Recently, I have mainly been investing in the Mystery Box which costs 6 donuts each. It seems to be the best value for increasing %.
How can the mystery box increase your percentage? What items do you usually hope to get?
There is a substantial list of small items that carry bonus multipliers…
The Channel 6 News Van has a 2% bonus and the Itchy and Scratchy Billboard earns 1%.
The best prizes are 30 donuts, 10 donuts, news van 2%xp and billboard 1% xp. You can sell the rest back to the game for a little cash.
Ohhh I can’t wait till I am up that far. Almost 5 years for me and I’m only to 900%
Congrats! I missed the 1000 somehow; was at 900-something forever, and when I checked again yesterday mine was 1001.9%.
Woo-hoo…into the Millenial XP club!
I can’t place my gondola within the blue area…even though there is open space…am I missing something?

Happy Sunday to my neighbors and all.
Here is best wishes for a sunny and happy week ahead.
Okay. Just putting this out there…
THE ROLL BACK GLITCH SCARES THE HECK OUTA ME .
I’m so sorry to see SO many affected by this. It is awful. We have several with this over at my site too. It’s hideous and unfortunately often repetitive.
Eughh… here I go. The end of tsto is nigh! 😕
Nice! It’s still a bit early for flowers over here. Plus, I tried to grow Clematis a couple times, and they always withered and died. Probably just to cold.
wrong comment – this was supposed to go with Ebron’s flowers…
Hi everybody! 😷😄
It’s been a drizzly couple of days here and we’re set for a couple more days of gray skies and drippy weather…but the plants are all super happy about it! Everything in our yard is going nuts this spring…maybe because we had a month of actual winter, complete with snow. ❄️😮❄️ Anyway, everything is blooming so I thought I’d share a couple pictures (what else?😄)
The amaryllis have outdone themselves…

And the clematis are just starting to come out…

Even the ground cover, which hasn’t bloomed in 3 years, is covered with blossoms. Makes me kinda hope we get snow next year, too…

Hope you all have a nice relaxing Sunday…going to try to put my new smoker (birthday present👍😄) together today. First thing on the menu…smoked salmon and a couple ears of corn…yummmmmm😛.
Sounds good to me!
Ebron, great flowers and I love amaryllis. I cannot grow them outside in my yard. However my magnolia tree is in full bloom right now. Have a good week ahead.

Thanx for the flowers! NW Indiana’s weather is so bonkers this spring!…i want my tulips! Theyre so confused!
I spent 2 years living in Fort Wayne when I was a kid…all I remember is snow, snow, snow ⛄️ 😮.
Love your flowers! Spring is my favorite season, usually.
I hear you Sandytoes74. Just spent a quick few days in FL warming up and hoping to come back to a warmer IN, but it snowed again overnight here in Indy. Oh no!
Wow! Your garden looks as exquisitely designed as your town.
My snowdrops have gone now, but have been replaced with dozens of grape hyacinths and the first couple of daffodils are now in full bloom. It’s such a good feeling knowing the better weather is on its way hopefully.
Our daffodills came and went in December after a cold snap…stupid flowers 🌼🤪🌼.
I love the clematis! I have purple ones that are blooming. I should take pictures but don’t know how to upload em..
It took a few years for them to really take hold, but now they put on a great show for months at a time…we really love them😄🌸.
I ilive then as well. I like hydrangeas, pranks peonies too.
Wow, how absolutely beautiful they all are 🙂
Beautiful pics 😁
Our lawns are still buried in snow, good news it that eventually it will have to melt. For now I shall survive by looking at your beautiful flowers 🙂
Stunning!!!!
MAB!…you’re back…we were all worried you did’nt love us anymore😍😍😍
This has probably been asked and answered, but a mindless pondering 🤔
Most times when I visit neighbors, I go to their town. Sometimes, I get sent to their Krustyland.
Why?
And secondly,
Anyone know how Lee is doing. I know that there were other commitments that were taking precedent, leading to infrequent visits to the game….
But, it’s been six months, supposedly, since Lee last played.
OTOH, I’ve been able to tap the updated characters and earn Act 1 and Act 2 credits.
If you tap Krustyland, you get sent there. It all depends on where you tap.
Tap the town
You go to Krustyland because if you are like me you “fat finger” it and click on it.
If you are going into a town from the friend screen that shows three towns, you are tapping too high on the town.
I talked to Lee back in February and he said he is doing great, he just doesn’t have time for games right now. I don’t know if he will ever come back, but I keep him as a neighbor because his town is so awesome.
Thanks and thanks
Glad he’s just busy, his town truly is awesome. Which is why I keep him around.
I’ll have to concentrate on tapping low. See if that eliminates my popping up in Krustyland
Winner, winner!
Rats!

Anyone else see this giant bunny standing next to me ?

Careful, Harvey has a drinking problem and may follow you home😆🐰😆.
Is his name Harvey? 🐰
Google old Jimmy Stewart movies…”Harvey” is my all time favorite of his films (yes, even more than It’s a Wonderful Life) 🐰😆🐰.
Now I think I’ll have to go to Amazon and watch it again…soooo funny😁.
Let’s face it…anything Jimmy Stewart is in is great
I just remembered “The Cheyenne Social Club”…hafta look for that one too…tooooo funny.😆
One of my favorites too!
That 6 foot White invisible rabbit is forever hanging around my house opening cupboards and closing doors when you least expect it! 😄
I am sure Harvey can see it. See you.
Is that you, Donnie Darko?
Has anyone bought the Westminster Abby? I really want to but was just wondering of the 2 ghosts are 2 separate characters or just 1.
Seperate full characters that can help in the heists and earn event currency. I really like the building…it seems like a pretty good buy.
https://imgur.com/a/4RnFy
Ohhh😍😍beautiful town.
I had to get this, it’s beautiful and the answer is they are Two separate characters!
I bought them for the added bonus that they are ghosts! Bring on Halloween! (Hopefully it won’t be a letdown like last year)
Anyone get the Westminster Abbey? I’m curious if it comes with 2 full characters, or are the NPCs? Thanks!
Playable characters
Sold!
Anyone else having issues with the game today? Some issues I noticed so far:
– radius for tapping is way smaller;
– cannot go to wherever characters are by tapping the character icon on the top;
– recycling junk needs to wait one week to start over, like before.
The icon of characters not working is the worst, it takes forever to find all of them in my town going building to building.
Anyone else having this, or should I reinstall my game?
Thanks
Sounds like you’re having the same issue that’s been in the posts and comments a lot for the past couple weeks. I believe you’re only course of action is to contact EA and have them roll back your game. Take a look around the posts and look for some from Alissa to confirm.
Thank you, I’ll contact EA.

I’m having the same problem still, it’s been going on for over 2 weeks (can’t remember exactly when it started). The Addicts site said uninstalling and reinstalling would not solve the problem, pretty sure my happened during an update. I sent them an email last week like I was told to and have not received an answer.
Thank you. Game is almost unplayable this way, it’s frustrating 🙁
Happy Sunday 🌞☀️🌞
Winner winner chicken dinner 🖒🐔❤
KFC from Trinidad and Tobago will do. Its the best tasting KFC chicken in the world. 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
I bet the chicken tastes the same, but you have such a wonderful locale that it enriches everything!
The chicken in KFC Trinidad does not taste the same as the US in no way shape or form. Its the best tasting KFC in the world.
Check out this review, do a google search and if you don’t believe me visit and you’ll see. In the Caribbean we season our meat with a variety of herbs so there’s no way it tastes the same. Church’s and Popeyes came to Trinidad and closed down. KFC is stiff competition.
