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…..
ICYMI Addicts Live was all new yesterday. The first live episode of 2019! We talked all things Alice Glick and Golden Goose. Check it out here.
We’re nearing the end of the Alice Glick Mini-Event, have you unlocked all of the prizes? What do you think we’ll see next?
And finally, how about the rest of your weekend? Do anything fun and exciting?
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!
Today I was rolling through Spring Heights in Build mode and I thought I saw open squares. Suffice to say, this was the most excited I’ve been in months, for a split second, even though I absolutely love the land expansion update. It’s the little things, huh?
Hi. My first post here. Have been playing for 3 -3.5 years (I don’t remember exactly) and have acummulated a lot of content and lately I haven’t been able to really place it so content from 6 months ago is just cluttered I hope I can distribut it soon. Have one question. Does anyone know how many playable characters (free and premium) does the game have? I have 331 characters (including the last three ones from the Brown House Event) but I know I have missed a lot more (not really fond of buying a lot of characters) so how much more there are? 30-40? Or is it already more than 400 characters?? Thanks
393 playable characters… I have them all 😊
Holy f… Hehehe. that’s something. So I’m missing 62¡ Wow. Didn’t think there were so many. That’s incredible. How much have you spent in that many characters? Just curious of course¡
That’s a secret! 😂
Heyo, welcome to TSTO Addicts!
Playing since Dec. ’15, I have 277 available for 8-H jobs and that’s the highest number visible (276 x4H, 275 x1H). There are also non-playable characters that can’t do jobs, like mascots, event units and other voiced/non-voiced “characters”, I can’t imagine how to count them but I personally have more than 50. There is a wiki too but you may spend quite the time to see who you’re missing.
Most characters make a comeback at some point now that the event boxes are around, too, so hopefully we all have lots of time to pick them up.
Happy tapping!
In our household we have 3 Springfields. When we get the 3 Maggies and can play the came to win 1, 2 or 3 donuts we think we have noticed the “randomness” of the donuts is linked to the day. So for example TODAY each game had the random donut thing (cause we each got the 3 maggies) and it was the MIDDLE position that had THREE donuts for all of us. Same thing happened the last few times – we all had the same winning (Three) position. Know what I mean? It can be left, middle or right, but whichever it is, it’s the same for all of us. I’m wondering if this is an actual thing or just a lot of coincidences? Anyone else getting MIDDLE today? If it’s correct we could share each day where the 3 donuts are 🙂
Happy tapping all, I know it’s Tuesday but am running late lol, with the new event coming soon I take it there’s no need to save daily challenges with the new format, don’t see any point in the daily challenges it’s always Springfield hights rewards. 😁
You need to skip the ones you don’t want… because very often, the next one earns donuts! I think there have Ben close to 20 donuts this week. Today’s is worth six…
Who among our fellow addicts has the highest percentage in the game and what is it?
Reply if you think you may be close?
Anyone over 4k? 5k? 10k?
I am over 4K in one of my games, but I am sure there are those who have a higher %.
I believe there is only 1 player who this title belongs to. He has a bonus percentage of 24,000% and a fully functional game with a designed town! 🤯
*waves at my neighbour* 😍
That’s a lot of whales ! Besides the whale, what is the highest percentage item from the vault that you can get multiples of ? Jet Engine Bike ?
Jet engine bikes from the vault. Snow cats at Christmas. Bill boards and news vans in the burns misery box 😉
The best percentage you can go for is Little Lady Justice 2.75% I believe. But she is kinda tall
There are a handful of 5% items… but they aren’t cheap!
Interesting, do you happen to know what they are ?
Happy late posting all 🙂
Is there anything in your springfields that you’re oddly proud of that nobody would notice on visiting?
For me, it’s the fact that all my water is connected. Somehow that seems important to me.
Mine is that I have two Bowlarama’s in my town due to a past glitch (but only one Barney!)
No plopping, dropping or cramming. And very straight land-lines.
I still don’t understand why I haven’t got Homer’s #908 stonecutters skin! I’ve had the lodge and number 1 for years! When I asked EA for help, they told me: “we’ve no way to add the Stonecutters Homer skin, the only possible way to get this skin is through a Mystery Box. And even then I can’t guarantee you will have this as an option of a Mystery Box prize but do keep an eye out for it”
Not very helpful!
It’s a good job we have all of you at TSTO addicts to help us!
So, I nuked, again 🤦🏼♂️ Looking for a couple things in my inventory. Springfield Dam and Gold Goose realty. Does anyone know where they are in inventory? Leisure, nature, etc.
I think EA needs to do a better job of inventorying items. Or at least a way to search for things in your inventory.
Any help in relation to the first part of my comment would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve notice that there are many items that never make it to a category…they are only found if you search thru the entire inventory (the magic academy walls, towers and entrances, for example). Not good news, but there it is. Hope you find them without searching the whole enchilada.😬
For the past 3 days, when I open the app, i have to confirm my age and it downloads all my data (up to 900mb). I’m already logged in and ive tried uninstalling/resinstalling. Has anyone else had this issue? It’s irritating me now.
http://tstoaddicts.com/2018/11/14/why-does-tsto-re-download-every-time-i-open-my-game/
I was really stupid this week, and started playing Game of Thrones Conquest. I should have just stuck to spending free time KEM farming. I talked to a bunch of really cool people, bonded over Game of Thrones and Walking Dead, and then a bunch of bullies attacked and attacked and attacked us with armies that must have cost $$$$. I’m seriously emotionally drained.
After all this happened, I opened up my TSTO and realized how lucky we really are. Having trouble with graffiti? Well, your friends took the time to visit you and wanted to be different than all the rest. Is your game glitching? I bet EA will be sending you a patch in a jiffy. Having a problem? Go check this website and talk with people who are kind and helpful.
I love you guys, and hope this game continues for years to come. Thanks for being truly awesome 🙂
I need doughnuts…
Does anyone have any fingernails left after this game. Go Pats! AFC Champs again. Woohoo! Super Bowl bound again.
Just finished the road to riches quest line. So now all of have is to buy a bunch of land and then finally I can stop complaining about how this game is just a giant grind and start complaining about how there is nothing to do in this game.
Currently -22 Celsius. Or about -7.5 Fahrenheit in Central Ontario, Canada at the moment. Power is out until morning due to storm, wind or cold. No heat or water.
Moved some furniture in living room, camping out next to wood fireplace in sleeping bags. Playing Monopoly by firelight. Kids having great time.
We should do this more often!
Winter SUCKS!!! Lol
Spent the day on the road from Drummondville to Whitby. Only good thing about -22 Celcius is the snow doesn’t stick to the road. Whiteouts, on the other hand….
A good power nap after the drive has me wide awake as midnight approaches. I’m enjoying watching the total lunar eclipse while waiting to get tired again.
Thanks for providing some great insight to this game!! It’s help me expand my Springfield nicely.
The one thing missing is the Tom Clancy. I know it was a limited event. Does it make appearances in the vault? I don’t remember seeing it with Black Friday.
Another year, another playoff heartbreak for my Saints. 🙁
The Saints aren’t my team, but I was rooting for them this game. That pass interference blown call was terible.
For anyone who bought the Stonecutter Lodge this time around, how long did the subsequent questline last?
I bought the lodge but the Game of Stones questline appeared to finish for me after part 3 (Collect from houses x5). I see that a few of the following quests involve prizes from the 2014 Stonecutters event so maybe that’s why they’ve been excluded, but just wanted to check that I’m not missing out on something. Number 1 also had a quest to make Lattes, but that line finished after that.
I stored the lodge and brought it back out again. All of my characters were available. Nothing changed.
Thanks for your help!
Hey everyone. I can’t seem to find the aspirational buildings to buy anymore. I’m lvl 939 and have the popsicle stick skyscraper, money mountain, the sun sphere, king homers skyscraper. But I can’t find where to buy the other ones……help please…..
Thanks
Enjoying the down time between events at the moment and pretty much only visiting to collect land tiles and do the daily challenge but equally I am looking forward to the next big event although I don’t know what it is as while I read pretty much every post and skim read safis’ math ones (sorry safi they make my brain hurt maths was one of my worst subjects at school) I never have time to watch the podcasts.
Work was a quite day today thankfully as some days can be hell. But I was able to work at a more relaxed pace and chill with the radio on and in the process crossed part of the bucket list off by sending in a message and a song request for the first time ever For those curious it was house of fire by Alice Cooper which they didn’t seem to have as they played schools out instead but I was still happy anyway.
Hope everyone has an awesome week and that we see the return of Mab at some point tonight
(British gmt)
So anyone want to remind me why I decided to move from Georgia to Pennsylvania? What is this whole, winter thing?
Not many hurricanes in Pennsylvania, tho, so there’s that.👍😁
I lived North of Atlanta, hurricanes never made much an impact up there
Buckhead is a nice area…or were you up by The Big Chicken?
No way North. By all the carpet
92% of the way there!!!
Just 12 donuts away from the golden goose realty building. I think this is the most excited I’ve been about getting any building or item in this game so far.
NFL Championship Day! Go Chiefs!
Building up my donuts stash for next event. If only we knew how many (maximum) would be required to buy everything. My guess is the daily challenge once again will not be involved.
Events are usually 650 and up. So I’d save somewhere between 650 and 850…
Go Saints!
Unfortunately we have signed NDAs and can’t say. But what I can say is that personally I’ll be setting aside 974 donuts for new content, as 974 is the country calling code of Qatar, host of the next FIFA World Cup. I suggest you start getting prepared for the next World Cup too Charles. 🙂
Sorry the Saints lost – I think it would have been different had Goff’s helmet communication system worked better. There’s no question the fine impartial New Orleans stadium staff technicians did their best to ensure the outcome went as unbiased as possible. Maybe next year for the Saints, probably Brees will get even better (not older) and bring the saints to their rightful place. Springfield goes to the Super Bowl!!! Oh wait, springfield is really in Oregon, right? Where there is a Disneyl – uh, I mean Krustyland nearby, and movie production themes so often found in Oregon. Yep, Oregon or some other place called Springfield is where the Simpsons are located, because the writers don’t have enough creativity to name the home anything different than the actual US city where the Simpsons are fictionally based. Thanks big finger in the sky and New Orleans stadium staff for allowing the Springfield Rams to get to the Super Bowl – but sorry non-Super bowl, but definitely Super, Safi. Joking aside, the better team won, and Safi deserves tons of thanks for his work with math posts related to tsto. If not for his poor choice of NFL teams.
Go Saints (next season)!
Oh, and that was an awesome fourth quarter of football between the Pats and Chiefs.
Arg!!!!
I hate football but both of these games today have proven that baseball is the superior sport.
#footballisdumb
Amen! Go Cubs!!!
*King Homer
For those of us that missed yesterday’s broadcast, could you give us a short synopsis of what is coming and when? Thank you. I do enjoy reading all the comments that come through this site. 🤗
Lol you’ve gotta watch the show or listen to the podcast. We talk about it in the first 15m.
Yesterday’s broadcast can be seen in the previous post.
Hey everyone. I can’t seem to find the aspirational building to buy anymore. I’m lvl 939 and have the popsicle stick skyscraper, money mountain, the sun sphere, king honey. But I can’t find where to buy the other one……help please…..lol
Hi. It looks like the aspirational buildings are found by going into the store and clicking on the Simpsons house in the left hand column. Don’t expand anything with the arrows, just click on their house. I found Fortress of Choclitude, Sit-n-Rotate and others there.
Your question reminded me that I haven’t bought them yet, but could do so now!
If you want to add to your monorail layout, here are four suggestions on how to use Springfield Heights building pieces to do so.
The top two examples use Classic Mansion parts to create a pseudo-station, and to expand the railroad yard. The bottom two examples use Modern Mansion pieces to create two different types of modern pseudo-stations.

These are clever, thanks for posting.
Looks fantastic!
Brilliant idea! I only have four stations and it never even crossed my mind to concoct one out of buildings like this. Thanks for the inspiration, Cityscaper.
Happy Sunday all!
Nearly harvested the 150 donuts for the Golden goose realty building, should get there in time, yay!
Happy happy happy three day weekend for me. I am curious as to the next event. Finished this one awhile back. Nice break. Just working on KEM farming and such. Been doing mysterybox farming as well since it seems to be by far the best way to up our multiplier.
Next event was discussed during yesterday’s Addicts Live episode.
Been playing for almost six years and just reached 1,000 percent bonus. Love this game and this site. Thank you for all the work that goes into making this site great!
