As you can see, yes Bart Royale had more prizes (because it was 3 Acts vs 2) but most of the prizes were decorations or Costumes for Characters/Facades for Buildings. Basically, most of the stuff was a different look for something you already had.
Christmas 2016 had more income generating buildings and physical decorations. Both events were AWFUL, but Christmas 2016 was definitely better than Bart Royale. At least that was only 4 weeks and didn’t have an Arrangement Bonus Area….
And finally (as promised)…here are the photos of my Porterhouse Steak from dinner the night after we recorded the show (and yes, I sent these photos to Patric via text that night to make him just a little jealous)…
Wolfgangs Steakhouse…so good!
Oh and for those curious…this was the Addicts Christmas Present this year:
And as a reminder, here were the gifts from previous years…

And that’s it from us. Thanks for tuning in. We hope you have a very Happy and Healthy 2019! See you on the next show friends!
Happy New Year’s / Happy 2019!
Ok fellow Tappers …. who thinks EA missed out on doing something for New Year’s? (some of us Long Term Tappers have our Giant Ball that descends into a fire – lol, it’s fun to visit your Neighboreeno’s and watch it if you don’t have it – but kind of a bummer that Noobs did not get an opportunity to obtain it!) 🤷♂️
Thanksgiving with Moe’s Family was fun (what a dysfunctional family LOL!)
Halloween 2018 – a huge improvement over last year (lots of great Premiums!)
Super Heroes / Super Powers – over it ! (along with Moe’s Ark / Moe’s Zoo!)
Itch and Scratchy Land – epic fail! Stored all of the Rides and slowly turn this into a parody of Universal’s backlot! Too many glitches, too much lag no thanks to EA not thinking ahead of what would happen by moving Krustyland!
Outland – I actually had fun with this Event, I kind of like having a dystopian section of my Springfield! Groundskeeper Willie has the best Visual Task here!
Who Shot Mr. Burns? (I stored everything! so that’s still an utter waste for me!)
Christmas 2018 – the argument over this being an actual Event vs several Mini Events combined is moot, because we got Crazy Cat Lady pulling a shopping cart sleigh with cats, Mrs Claus, Marge and Maggie pulling a sleigh of greyhounds (yep we got Santa’s Little Helper, too) and that was rewarding enough for me! ♥️
