Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Yes, the Moe’s Ark update has hit our app stores. Yes, it’s a day earlier than expected. And no, nothing is wrong with your game…it’s not supposed to trigger yet.
If you’ve downloaded the update from the app store you’ll see that the splash screen and icon have changed, however, nothing else has. This is because the update is NOT set to trigger until TOMORROW, August 1st, at 10am ET.
Which means…you won’t see anything new in your game until TOMORROW at 10am ET. So don’t panic!
So basically right now Springfield is EXACTLY the same as it was an hour ago. Nothing has changed except the Splash Screen and Icon.
Once it’s live tomorrow we’ll be back with all of the Act 1 details…until then it’s business as usual for the residents of our Pocket-Sized Springfields….
Cant wait.
So excited…but not ready…wanted to get my town a little more organized before new event but oh well lol ☺ Can’t wait to see what EA has for us–happy tapping everybody and have a lovely day!! Thanks Addicts for all that you do!!
Did anyone else lose their new kiosk – the teaser decoration? I placed it in I/S/L until the update. Well, the update hit and now I have a blank space! Always sumpthin’, right Cranky?!
I lost mine and so did what looks like at least 19 others on the games forums.
Mine’s gone, too. Sigh.
Uh oh! I forgot where I put mine in all 3 of my games!
Yup, missing in my game as well.
That’s what’s missing! I was wondering why I had an empty space where I shouldn’t have.
Any thoughts on how much space we’ll need for zoo parts? I’m opening up a few slots and rearranging things, and wanted to leave enough space.
No idea at this time
Is it me or have they seemed to have fixed the problems with the rides with this update too? I took a chance and put the Injury 500 back together and NO LAG! \o/
Or perhaps they did it before and I just never noticed? O.o
I did the update and when I started the game a message box informed me that the amusement were available to switch on/off, I tried it, no lag
It’s a little hard to tell from the “Moe’s Ark” collection, but it looks like we will be getting 10 characters/skins. 6-7 characters, 3-4 skins.
Is anyone having trouble logging in since they updated. Keep getting a screen saying there is a problem logging in with EA
Ok I restarted my iPad and just kept trying to log in. After about 8 tries it finally went through.
i have had the same issue and the only fix is reinstalling the game which wastes 800mb every play. but once i’m logged in all my neighbours are gone. i heard from EA last week that the game isn’t connecting to the game files on the server. i’ve contacted EA again and just waiting for a response
Anyone else getting a LOT of lag after the update? I’m not over the item limit and nothing has changed from last night when it was working fine except the update. 🙁 I can barely play it’s so slow to do anything
This update fixed the zoom problem on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3! I can now zoom out to the degree I see on other devices. However, there is now a rendering bug, especially when I zoom out all the way. About half the buildings are not visible. if I drag to a slightly different position, some of them appear but others disappear. Gaining the ability to zoom out outweighs the rendering problem. Anyone else with Samsung devices see this?
The episode where teenage Homer says to the Zookeeper: “Zookeeper Zookeeper, the monkeys are killing each other…” and the Zookeeper whispers back: “Having sex…”

Hello! Somewhat unrelated… has anyone else lost all their neighbourinos?? I checked a few times today, traveling between my town and my neighbour screen, and i have lost ALL of them (save for the default EA Springfield). Just me?
Not the case with me.
yep me too. been like that for a week. EA said that the game isn’t connecting to the game files on the server.
I immediately came here for answers. 😀 thanks!!!
Sarah Wiggum is coming!! Check out the updated character collection in your game!
I almost yelled for joy wheneverI saw Sarah Wiggum in the characters screen lol!!!
Check out the character pages— Sarah wig gum and teenage Homer!
I hope the update includes moving Homer’s 4hr poochie voice over job down in his job list. I keep clicking the 4hr job when i only want to make him do the 6s clean up Springfield. My tapping finger is so wizard speed level that my brain can’t keep up.
I had a look in my inventory and a bunch of Springfield Heights stuff earns bonus percentage. For example Classic Mansion earns 4% now!
It always did, it’s bonus percentage is just not hidden anymore. 😉The Conform-o-Meter also now shows the correct bonus percentage including SFH…finally!
Wow! my bonus is 1083.45%
Yup, the hidden xp bonus is no longer hidden and applies now to cash as well!
Mine doesn’t show that 🙁
I’m up 158% Whoo! hoo!
Wasn’t the appstore update for the last event released one day early, too?
Not the last one, but the one before that (Springfield Jobs)
After the update my XP multiplier exploded… It went from 276% to 429%
Not that I’m complaining or anything 😀
Has anyone noticed a bump to their “Conform-o-meter” bonus %….I was approx. 560% yesterday and now its at 727% with nothing being purchased or added to my town…happy but confused, thanks!
Yep, I went from about 800% to 960%!
The ‘hidden’ bonus from Springfield Heights-buildings is now counted to your conform-o-meter.
Don’t think that’s it, unless they don’t have to be placed to count. I have none of the SH buildings out, and my bonus also jumped drastically.
I take it back, you’re right…when you look at the SH buildings in storage, they now show their actual bonus. I don’t have any of them placed, so the bonus must be whether they’re out or not.
Went to the App Store, and nothing about an update,
However, the smaller icon of Homer is an updated, Zookeeper, icon.
Tomorrow?
I have the same situation – is this likely to require an uninstall re-install?
I was prompted for update when visiting a neighbor who had already updated
Thanks for the tip!
Ditto
It did not solve the App Store snafu – homer profile shows new content, splash screen is unchanged. Thanks for your intended helpful suggestion, it’s much appreciated. So far on this new iPad all App Store downloads have gone without a problem. Thanks for suggestions, Alissa.
My app store (ios) just had to be refreshed and the update popped right up.
Thanks, ebron but that hasn’t worked multiple times, including after shutting off the iPad, etc.
Good god here’s hoping they release some Land for this one… Yeesh…
Well there’s loads of land available, i think what you’re looking for is land tokens. Land tokens will be with this event, but likely not what you were hoping for in volume
I keep getting an error message to log in, since update.
10 am pm in Europe while 3 or 4 is 9 or 10 in Europe.
10am eastern USA, 4pm Central Europe, 3pm UK.
I thought 3 or 4 was better so not as many people playing at that time due to lag. For me 3 or 4 is better since i work nights.( able to start when i get home from work)
I found it a bit strange that the update was already here, luckely you guys keep us informed so we know what is going on. Many thanks for this! Looking forward to 10 AM.
Massive increase in my bonus % 🤔
I don’t have the heights buildings out so it can’t be that? Perhaps something to do with the Krusto meter? Not that I’m complaining lol 😆
Me, too…over 100%increase…not sure what i was at, cuz I’m rebuilding, but pretty sure not over mid 300’s and now at 490%…kaboom!
I got the massive increase but didn’t notice a massive increase in KEM yield, so i reckon it something like heights where i was alreafy getting the bonus, it just didn’t show in the conform-o-meter display. Could be partially bonus on Krusty land items though and and partly bonus on heights.
Just did the update and it fixed the lag on my game when the itchy and scratchy injury 500 ect turned on. Whoopee, no more lag😊
It created lag in mine 🙁 I’d had all my rides out and connected and turned on… same set up not after the update but MASSIVE lag. Restarting my game and device have had 0 effect.
I can appreciate the advanced download availability… but as Patric has pointed out in the past, the 10AM (ET) event start is a bit irksome, for those of us on the East coast. Has EA somehow concluded that most people who’re addicted to their video games either universally have no jobs or live on the West coast… or possibly both? 😉
lol 10am is better than the 3am/4am start times they used to be
Or the random “maybe noon, maybe 3pm, maybe 6pm” start times…
My only annoyance with a definite 10am start is that the servers get hit hard. Might hold off on checking until 10:30-11.
Yea it makes it rough. 3/4 am were the best since it wasn’t a huge drain on the servers
Not for us poor brits 🙂
10am ET is 3 in the afternoon, when I’ve still got an hour at work to look forward to!
Still, they can’t plEAse everyone on that….
And where we used to have a nice spell before the US woke up we now have to fight them to get on the servers!
I can certainly understand why you (as the Queen Bee of addicts) would find any zero-dark-hundred start time to be a bit draining, but honestly, it just seems to me that starting the event in the wee hours of the morning was the wisest implementation for the largest number of tappers.
I would suggest that the most addicted, who were willing to set an alarm for 3am just to start tapping right away, were by far the minority. Mind you, the rest of us *greatly* appreciated that you were one of the few tappers willing to do that, Alissa — but most tappers were probably just rolling out of bed at their usual time, before reading your post and starting their tap-tap-tapping… which effectively forced a rolling start time across the US. With the 10AM ET start time, that means that it’s 7AM PT… most assuredly late enough that every tapper across the continental US (who cares even a *little* bit about the game) is awake and eager to pound that server. The severity of that initial onslaught becomes dramatically amplified… and I would speculate that many of us have experienced the detrimental effects, at least a time or two. (Certainly, the comments section has experienced it… and will again, very shortly.)
10 am is the universal coffee break time ☕️…tomorrow’s will just be a wee bit longer 😁
