Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
We’re a few days into 2019 and it’s time for our first update of the year! Not Yet Spring Cleaning, the latest mini-event in Springfield, is full of content we’ve been asking for! (Springfield U, Alice Glick, Land Tokens..to say the least!) Of course, by now, we all know that a new mini-event means a new excuse for EA to fill our stores with returning limited-time premium items to tempt us.
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 the returning Stonecutters content to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding these throwbacks to your town…
Because there is so much returning Stonecutters stuff I’m going to simplify this as best as possible. So it’s basically just a quick what does it do and my current opinion for each.
All Returning Stonecutters stuff leaves stores January 22nd
Stonecutter Tunnel- 60 Donuts, earns 2.5% bonus on all cash and XP. Also generates more tunnel pieces.
My Opinion: Meh. I wasn’t a big fan of this last year, and i’m still not a fan. Pass for me.
Stonecutters Lodge w/ Number 1- 140 Donuts, 40 Donut Rebate NET 100 donuts. Earns $2,500, 225xp/7 days. Number 908 (Homer) comes with this as well, but you have to start working on the questline before it unlocks. Doesn’t just unlock when you buy it.
My Opinion: Premium character and premium skin for Homer. At 100 donuts ANY character/building combo is a good buy. This is a good buy.
Stonecutter Table- 120 Dounts, 60 Donut Rebate, NET 60 Donuts. (plus with this table and other Stonecutters you can get the hidden donuts…Wiggum, Homer, Krusty, and 51)
My Opinion: At 60 donuts it’s an “ok buy”. It helps to get the additional donuts back with the hidden donuts, BUT I still think it’s a bit overpriced. This is a premium toss up for me.
Number 22- 50 Donuts, 40 Donut Rebate, NET 10 Donuts
My Opinion: A premium earning costume for Quimby (a freemium character) at 10 donuts, good buy.
Number 2- 50 Donuts, 40 Donut Rebate, NET 10 Donuts
My Opinion: A premium earning costume for Hibbert (a freemium character) at 10 donuts, good buy.
Number 85- 50 Donuts, 40 Donut Rebate, NET 10 Donuts
My Opinion: A premium earning costume for Willie (a freemium character) at 10 donuts, good buy.
Number 29- 50 Donuts, 40 Donut Rebate, NET 10 Donuts
My Opinion: A premium earning costume for Burns (a freemium character) at 10 donuts, good buy.
Number 59- 50 Donuts, 40 Donut Rebate, NET 10 Donuts
My Opinion: A premium earning costume for Smithers (a freemium character) at 10 donuts, good buy.
Number 50- 50 Donuts, 40 Donut Rebate, NET 10 Donuts
My Opinion: A premium earning costume for Wiggum (a freemium character) at 10 donuts, good buy.
Number 79- 40 Donuts, 30 Donut Rebate, NET 10 Donuts
My Opinion: A premium earning costume for a premium character. While 10 donuts is an ok buy, I don’t think it’s worth it (unless you want all the Stonecutters) since Stu already earns premium. Note: this does NOT come with Disco Stu. Costume only.
Number 5- 40 Donuts, 30 Donut Rebate, NET 10 Donuts
My Opinion: A premium earning costume for a premium character. While 10 donuts is an ok buy, I don’t think it’s worth it (unless you want all the Stonecutters) since Jasper already earns premium. Note: this does NOT come with Jasper. Costume only.
Number 21- 50 Donuts, 40 Donut Rebate, NET 10 Donuts
My Opinion: A premium earning costume for Moe (a freemium character) at 10 donuts, good buy.
Number 12- 50 Donuts, 40 Donut Rebate, NET 10 Donuts
My Opinion: A premium earning costume for Lenny (a freemium character) at 10 donuts, good buy.
Number 14- 50 Donuts, 40 Donut Rebate, NET 10 Donuts
My Opinion: A premium earning costume for Carl (a freemium character) at 10 donuts, good buy.
Number 51- 100 Donuts, 90 Donut Rebate, NET 10 Donuts.
My Opinion: This is a FULL Character and a GREAT Deal. Buy this.
Number 111- 50 Donuts, 40 Donut Rebate, NET 10 Donuts
My Opinion: A premium earning costume for Grampa (a freemium character) at 10 donuts, good buy.
Number 67- 50 Donuts, 40 Donut Rebate, NET 10 Donuts
My Opinion: A premium earning costume for a premium character. While 10 donuts is an ok buy, I don’t think it’s worth it (unless you want all the Stonecutters) since Arnie already earns premium. Note: this does NOT come with Arnie Pye. Costume only.
What are your thoughts on the returning content? Any items you’ve picked up? Passed on? Placement in Springfield? Sound off below, you know we love hearing from you!
I messed up and purchased No 67 without having Arnie. Do you think he’ll ever become available again? Vault, perhaps?
Thanks for the reply! I do have that placed (on and island, connected by road) but the option remains locked. Will look to see if others have had the same issue.
Did you get the task to popup for it? (task book)
Yep? Safe photo URL attached, apologies if not cool. Thanks for all you do!

Apologies if this has been asked but I searched this page for the words “Fewer” and “Latte” with no results.
I’m stuck in the questline of the Stonecutters Lodge. Number 1 needs to Control the Latte Market (yay) but it’s a locked option.
Is this an event-specific building, do I need a certain other character in a specific skin, what’s up? All my coffee shops are placed.. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You need the mountain lodge for it…
Issue Solved: Player needs to have room to collect Lattes (to collect x15 Latte reward)
