Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Love is in the air friends! Yes, Valentine’s Day is back in our pocket-sized towns! And this time around things are going to be done, Springfieldian Style.
Love, Springfieldian Style follows the same event structure that the Simpsons Christmas Special event followed. This event consists of 4 parts (or Acts), with each part lasting a week and taking us through a new part of the event!
For Week 2, Act 2, we’re following a love story as told by Willie and the prizes we unlock all fit into the Rome-Eh & Julie-Aye theme.

Thoughts on the Arch? How about on the Shelbyville Bundle? Where have you placed them in your Springfield? Plans for a Shelbyville area? Thoughts on the prizes so far? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
Welcome to Springfield Arch – well I ♥️ this and it can go anywhere, but definitely going towards the Pier in my town. 👍
Shelbyville Bundle – looks like we got enough to create our own virtual Shelbyville on a small scale, would have been cool if EA unlock that land adjacent to Springfield Heights (yeah that would have been a fun spot to put Shelbyville). This is just plopped down for now until I come back to it …. Alishia already inquired where are the kids in this town? (Yeah EA, how about some Shelbyville Characters!) 😀
I finally figured out what to do to get the last Act Prize, Groundskeeper Willie and some love potion (lol) 🤣
I have no complaints about this Event, no Grind,no Stress, some good Premiums, and if you don’t like a Prize? just put it in Storage. 👍
With this act’s prizes being from Shelbyville, it would of made more sense if the arch says “Welcome to Shelbyville” instead since it could’ve been added to a Shelbyville area, however, it could still be used as an entrance to the entire Springfield and placed centred on the land furthest away from the ocean or mountains. The Shelbyville buildings are good that they come with tasks and will eventually be used by Groundskeeper Wilma since I’d probably have the other characters on monorail tasks or other jobs. I like how compared to their Springfield versions (excluding the KEM), these buildings generate income.
Not much to the arch, at least it goes over roads 🙂 I like the new event formats, but really miss the daily challenge being tied to the event. Thanks for all of the hard work Alissa 😁
This reward says building and decoration. Is that a mistake? I can’t see a decoration.
Hope we’ll get a Shelbyville Theater Row event – would love to see the characters from Sound of Springfield – yes and yellow fire hydrants…
Does anyone know if the mystery box has changed. The info says it’s 95% non premium and 5% premium???
Just wondering since the reduction in price of the apple and orange tree, news van, flower box etc
I know this is OT, but I have a question and I was not able to find the answer in previous posts. Are the multi-events replacing the major events?
Actually, I like both formats, so it would be a shame if EA chose to keep only one.
PS: it will be great if we have multi-events when different characters telling different stories is “appropriate” (e.g. Christmas or Halloween) and major events to fill the remaining periods of the year.
Only EA knows the answer to that one, and they’re not telling.
I’m afraid all the Shelbyville stuff went right into storage. Don’t think I have enough stuff to do anything interesting with it (didn’t buy the statue or the impound lot), so it will have to join the (seems like) thousands of other pieces in the “void”. Hopefully they get filed under Shelbyville, or I’ll never find them again.😄
We need yellow fire hydrants
Would love a bundle of yellow ones instead of the different coloured bundle, which I didn’t get last time..
Do the hydrants start out yellow? Or do they only become yellow if/after one has purchased Santas Little Helper?
Fun fact:
Fire Departments sometimes paint the top of a FH to indicate the Pressure at that location.
Ah, the impound lot! Forgot that was from Shelbyville. I’ll stick it up there with the new buildings. We don’t have any other Shelbyville stuff already do we?
Just Odin’s…can’t think of anything else.
Now to figure out where to build a Shelbyville that’s separate enough from Springfield!!!??
What the heck does WDTCF mean ? Sorry, I’ve been racking my brains out for ever !
Lol you must be new-ish to the site. WDTCF means Where Did That Come From
LMAO that’s awesome, thanks Alissa. FYI I have only been aware of TSTO since my town got the rollback glitch in March last year.
I hate abbrevs 😛
I haven’t actually watched the Simpsons for the best part of 15 or more years so I’m probably different to most players as to me this is just a great game. Imagine my shock when I realised the 3 Shelbyville buildings were basicly doppelgangers.
The Shelbyville Bundle sounds awesome!!!
Can’t wait to get it (few hours😁).
Thanks for all the invaluable info again Addicts!!
Thanks a lot Alissa! These prizes are alright, but nothing special, imho (I may be a little biased by the lack of questlines, albeit short XD)
