Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s no secret we’re in a little bit of a lull in TSTO right now. The Christmas Event has ended and nothing new hit our games to replace it. The break many of you have been asking for has arrived! Enjoy it, because it’s likely ending pretty soon.
Contrary to what some of you may think, no this isn’t the end of TSTO. It’s just a little lull. They happen sometimes. Just because the game has a little break doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world as our favorite yellow family knows it. Sometimes a break is just a break. And for those of you who like breaks and want more of them, this freak out is why EA doesn’t do breaks often.
So, while we’re waiting for something new to hit our pocket-sized towns (my guess is we’ll see something Wednesday) I thought now would be a great time to talk about what we’d like to see in TSTO during 2019. A little Dear EA letter…
So in the comments below share what features, characters, events, buildings, decorations, etc. you’d like to see hit our pocket-sized towns during 2019 events. What are you missing? What would you love to have?
Here’s mine:
Dear EA,
In 2019 I Would Really Like (actually I would REALLY LOVE) TSTO to have a feature in Town Hall that makes finding characters easier. Whether it’s a search box, where you can type in the characters name to find them, or just the ability to search by letter, like hit the S and all of the characters that start with S appear. This would make finding characters much easier than it currently is. With so many characters in Springfield,it can take some time to find that one character you’re looking for in the Town Hall List. A better search feature would be awesome!
Thanks,
Alissa
So now it’s your turn, share your “Dear EA” letter in the comments below! I can’t wait to see your ideas for 2019!
Also would love to use the cash from the game to buy donuts.
i mean you can, it’s called donut farming.
My number 1 request has to be – increase the item limit. Like, double it. PLEASE! I love designing and am getting to the point where I am worrying there is no milage left in this game for me. I don’t want to have to delete whole segments of my lovely town just to accommodate new stuff. All that hard work and time wasted.
Number 2 – I echo what everyone else has said about organising storage and allowing us to delete items in it.
Number 3 – please bring back the Valentine’s rose bushes for those of us who joined the game too late. Any other different trees, flowers and shrubs also very welcome.
Dear EA,
In 2019, I must echo Alissa’s wish for a feature in Town Hall that makes finding characters easier. I would also really love to have a path/ground cover that is white snow, so that I could design a section or my Springfield to be the “mountainous, eternally cold” section, where I can display all my wintery collection. It would hopefully be able to accept putting anything on top of it as well, unlike some of the other types of roads/paths. But I would be thankful for any snow path at all. Last, I wish for more land behind Springfield Heights, please, please, please!
Thanks for the best game I’ve ever had in a mobile device!
I would like:
1) Ways to search for characters by name (like lots of other people)
2) USEFUL ways to search inventory for stuff (seriously, is this actually organised in any way at all within sections?)
3) To be able to store buildings I don’t want but had to buy to get characters I did want, without storing the character that came with them.
4) More characters available without buildings.
5) An option to turn off daily tasks involving Heights.
6) More land the other side of the mountains (make it as long as the town below).
7) To be able to park cars on the ROADS
8) To toggle the K-land visitors off in my town. Seriously – I liked it separate and have none of the stuff out since they nuked it. Why am I still getting them??
9) Four-directional rotation of stuff. They’ve done it before, they can do it again.
I would like to be able to build more ornate tiles for my Squidport.
Dear EA, as the game keeps getting larger and larger, I fear every update that this is the one where it just won’t fit anymore. (it has only barely fit ever since the Krustyland move) If there is a way to make the game smaller (less gigs) would be great. Also, if we are goingto have Krustyland in Springfield, can we just have $ instead of tickets, or some way to contain the npcs? (P.S. I hate that Krustyland was moved out of it’s own world, I really liked it how it was, the game has never recovered from the move)….
anywhoo… Maybe if at least more of it went onto the sd card????
Alrighty, next idea, as others have mentioned, storage is crazy messy, especially with bunches of events filling them w/ tons of stuff we can’t get rid of, and stuff we can’t find in the mess. We need a way to both search and destroy (Ok, maybe just remove or sell unwanted crap) Being able to search and find what we want, and having more categories, and being able to remove things we don’t want would all be AWESOME 🙂
Also, as another mentioned, being able to revisit past events we may have missed or been unable to finish would be nice 🙂
that’s my E A wish list… Although, w/ out #1 happening, I probably can’t keep playing anyway, soooo kinda moot…. damned tiny internal memory….
Some epic ideas, inventory is a must it’s just too messy.
More neighbour interactions
For me I’d love to able to start afresh.
Got back start from level 1 play the quest lines again. You have the characters and buildings still but can work though the quests again.
The main reason for this is the dialogue, there be some great dialogue over the years its such a shame we cannot relive it
Dear EA,
– What I would like is a way to delete items in storage, and to be able to organize the storage.
– Also a marketplace where I can give my items to whoever comes visiting and wants them.
– giving characters tasks by tapping on a building as well as the normal way by tapping on a character.
thanks,
jane
O, I forgot:
I would really, really love to be able to choose the duration of the tasks myself.
Hi there,
I would like the limitations lifted on how many buildings, decorations etc you can have in ones town. Being close to this limit restricts what you can do with ones own town, leaving lots of unoccupied land and boredom with the game sets in. I find myself tuning out in playing the game as I can’t do what I would like.
Yours in tapping

I would like to be able to search my inventory for items instead of scrolling, scrolling, scrolling through the alphabet only to find the item is not in the category I am searching. Also to be able to SELL items I will never want or need.
I would like the ability to purchase land again, even if it’s millions of dollars. It gives my cash purpose, which it doesn’t currently have.
I would like a “clear all”. I know the game is called “Tapped Out” but it can take 10 minutes to clear my characters. If I don’t have time, I’m just not playing.
Selfishly, as a donut\KEM farmer please do something to address losing XP if your game crashes or you accidentally click on the Golden Scratcher. I’ve probably lost several hundred donuts this way. Once with 50+ Blood Mobiles waiting for XP to be collected. Game crashed. XP was gone. Frustrating!
Thank you 🙂
I suspect that it is your device that causes the crash! The game is very “RAM heavy” when collecting stuff (characters/buildings/KEM’s etc) I’ve had the same problem when trying to collect too many KEM’s at once.
Just reduce the amount of bloodmobiles you collect at once just to let the RAM catch up with itself
I would like a way to do old events I haven’t done
I 2nd the search in town hall. I’d also like to be able to put everyone on 2 hr, 6 hr, 10 hr, etc., jobs at once.
You can do that already if you have the Unemployment Office. It has options to send all characters on their tasks for various times from 1 to 24 hours. 🙂
Dear EA,
Please make more shrubbery available. I miss the Japanese maple and cherry trees etc. It would be awesome to have all of the fall trees available year round too.
A search for inventory items would be amazing.
YES to this! More trees, you can never have too many trees.
Hey mfmbamf143! You are one of my neighboreenos! (It’s Mi33)
Omgsh!! Your Springfield is so beautiful 😍 I especially love the Halloween/Europe areas!
Aw bless you! Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Yes I noticed my little Venice in your town; I was very flattered! You have a really beautiful Springfield too. I’m loving the rainbow theme that you’ve got going, very cool! Can’t wait to see what designs you come up with next. I always enjoy looking around your town. 😊
I’m glad you don’t mind that I borrowed your design for Venice. When we got those little houses I was so confused about what to do with them! I felt like everything I tried looked a bit funky. I love looking around your town too! 😍
😁 Ha ha not at all! Like I said, I was really flattered. We’ve been neighbours for years so I was delighted that you liked it so much! I really loved that event, especially those little Venice houses, so cute! It’s lovely to finally be able to talk to you. I’ve tried to reach out a couple of times here and on EA forums but we never managed to connect. I’ve always really loved your designs 😍
Also on your point about being able to message each other via the game, that would be awesome! However as that’s not a feature yet (hint hint EA!) if you want to have a place where we can message each other, if you check out and join tapped out.co.uk I’m on there and it’s easy to message people. It’s also a lovely, friendly community of people who love The Simpsons, Tapped Out, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, cows, flamingoes, chocolate and many other things! 😁 Come join the fun! 😄
The Krusty shuttle bus should drive around the city and maybe pick up passengers along the way.
The main thing I’d like would be a ‘confirm’ button for neighbor visits. I tap on that picture of Bart & Milhouse accidentally WAY too often & would love a way to stop it from switching to the neighbors area. An easier way to search our inventory would be nice also. And I’ve got to agree with you Alissa! I’d love to find the characters faster too. RachelS 😎
I would love to have a page, like the neighbors page, where all towns we own are loaded. You sign into them once and then you can just click through them without signing out and in every time. My other towns are completely neglected because it’s too much hassle going back and forth.
Dear EA
I would like
1. An event that takes place at night with all these buildings lit up.
2. I would like the opinion to TURN OFF the animations with XP / Money generated when tapping. That would speed up game play. I don’t need to watch it float in the air!
3. I would like two different queues, one for those who have completed tasks vs those who could do stuff. That way I can leave those characters whom I don’t care about in a completed status at Drink and Babysit.
4. I would like more buildings or animated objects to allow me to send them characters to it. (Like the Snow globe.) I would love to send Homer, Krusty, etc to the Stone Cutters table.
5. I would love to have you STOP giving me daily jobs involved in generating Heights materials when I’m maxed out!
6. I would love the option to send the Raphael Wise Guy to any building or object. That way I can see all buildings and objects animated.
7. I would love more neighbors generated items. It stopped at a certain level. Why?
8. I would love an quick way to jump down to a given letter in my storage. It sucks tapping down to s, t, u, v, etc.
9. I want a repeat of the Stone Cutters or Clash of the Clones event, with new and repeated content.
10. I want premium skins for premium characters to pay more!
12. I want more payout if I send two characters off to do something together.
12. I want the Unemployment Office to maximize my payout for jobs.
13. LASTLY! I want the premium buys just before an event to actually help! I purchased Heavenly Hills Mall and it did nothing. I don’t think Cat Women Santa did anything either!
G’day EA!
My wish list for 2019 includes
1. Being able to sell off any inventory items I don’t want.
2. A strip of land just left of the mountains that separate Springfield from the Heights (so I can run my monorail into Springfield Heights).
3. Being able to sell off any inventory items I don’t want.
4. A land token generator. It would work a bit like the XP Collider eg 5 doughnuts to produce 1 token in 24 hours or something along those lines.
5. Being able to sell off any inventory items I don’t want.
I’m not sure I understand #2. There’s no need for a strip of land “just left of the mountains” to make it possible to run the monorail into Springfield Heights. All you need is the tunnels. After that, just build away! My monorail goes into SH and back out quite happily.
Or am I misunderstanding something?
I have the tunnel, but the end of my monorail is higher up than the currently available land in the Heights. The game won’t let me place the tunnel unless there is open space on the left of the mountains.
Oh, I see. Yes, I had to do some urban renewal to bring both tunnels into the available SH space, but it worked out. Good luck, and maybe they will open up more SH space so you won’t need so much demolition and rearrangement!
The main thing I with they’d come up with is a method of splitting off character skins into being separate characters on their own. I never really liked the idea of skins and I hate how the events kick me off the ones I’m using over and over…
They’ve already got a few alternate versions of some characters in game… what’s wrong with Frink coming up with an invention that’d pull even MORE alternate versions of people from different dimensions?
I’d LOVE t’have each an’ every one of my Homers, Barts, Lisas and so on running around all over the place at once…
This would also let you actually play with the main characters during the events, because you’d have multiples who’d be exempt from the quests…
Maybe if they made it a sort of RPG element in order to get to USE the device and separate each skin, causing you to have an actual long term goal to strive for again…
Not only would it grant us what I think they wanted to give us with the whole real estate debacle aggravation, but it’d give a lot of people an incentive to actually BUY more skins when they pop back up for sale as well as an excuse to create additional ones for characters who have none.
My second wish used to be my #1 for years… I wish we’d get a whole set of original Tracey Ullman Show Simpsons… (lol… I wish this SOOO MUCH.)
Thirdly… I’d like to see this game change it’s name to just: Tapped Out and create a secondary area like Krusty Land used to be… only have it be reserved for Futurama. (I didn’t like the Futurama game… lol, I wanted Futurama Tapped Out.) I know it’ll never happen… but I wish.
Please make all the buildings and items rotating to all four sides.. cars especially. Ability to pick up and move characters?
I just want to be able to search for a stored item!! Sifting through the endless items in storage is KILLING ME!!
1. More Inventory tabs (seasonal items, outdoor/road features?) would help break up some of the flags, rocks, lamps, etc.
Or reorganize some of the misc. items into existing categories
2. “Search” Inventory feature
3. Night mode? It could activate automatically when starting night-specific jobs, or when selecting characters on those jobs. Or togglable.
4. GROUP PHOTO. Two ideas in one;
A) It may be impossible but I’d love a job that lets all citizens or a selected group “pose” for a photo/screenshot.
B) moveable characters during jobs. I’ve waited for certain character jobs to line up to form a gag and sometimes to screenshot and it can take a while.
PLEASE/THANKS – Love the game
1. Fix the rollback glitch. It’s been a year!
2. Easier way to find characters in the town hall.
3. Give everyone jobs for each time increment.
The ability to gift items between players would be amazing! – like decorations and misc items, also the ability to set job durations for all characters easier. For example, clicking on the town hall, then set characters to: 60m, 2hrs, 4hrs, 6hrs etc. The same for when they have finished their jobs, clicking on the town hall to retrieve/finish jobs
I would love to buy, with money or donuts, certain characters that you want.
The option to keep fall or snow.
I absolutely love TSTO. But it gets hard to stay interested when there is a lull.
Keep up the good work
I’d like to be able to have a character quit a task early, without spending donuts, with the understanding that I would receive no reward for the task.
I would like to have
1. a “clear all” for completed tasks/jobs.
2. I would also like a way to keep the snow in my town if I want to…
3. Also it would be cool to have a night feature with all the buildings lit up..
4..I would also like vehicles to move on the street..
5. .I would also like to keep my trees in fall mode longer…
6.bring back the options for premium items enough with the vaults and boxes!
7. I would also like to swap items with other tappers and
8.lastly the ability to delete items from storage
Dear EA.
This is going to sound selfish, I know. Bear with me.
I don’t want a lot for new years.
There is just one thing I need.
I don’t care about the prizes,
Underneath the Event tree.
I just want this for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas
Is A REASON TO STILL PLAY THE GAME!
SERIOUSLY! I’m finding it harder and harder to stay interested. Event’s come and go, and either way, I’ll never get everything. What’s left? A never ending grind for a higher bonus %? Seriously. Give me more of a reason to play the game please. Because I’m getting bored.
It takes FOREVER to do the quests. Many of the characters you have to purchase a fortune in donuts to get them. I’ve spent plenty for donuts to even finish quests that were ending. I get you need to make a few bucks. But, dang your donuts to get things is nuts. I won’t be paying for anymore donuts. Love the game. Please make it just a tad easier to achieve many of the characters and other items. I spent days and hrs and spent money just to finish the Christmas quests. I wont do that again either. GEEZUZ.. Tap On. Lol
Are you KEM farming with XP Collider active? Can make 10-70+/day depending on activity level/daily income if that helps. Tap on 😉
I would love for the send multiple characters tasks to not mess with the unemployment agency unless it’s directly related to the current event. I would also love for our characters to go back to the skin they were previous to going on a quest or event task.
