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…..
Happy Easter! How are you celebrating? Do you celebrate? Have you decorated Springfield for Easter? Favorite TSTO Easter content?
ICYMI we played a new round of Simpsons Trivia yesterday, all about the Easter themed (sorta) episode “Last of the Red Hat Mamas”. Check it out here if you haven’t played yet.
How’s your designing coming? What are you doing with your town? Share some photos in the comments below! (If you need a refresher on how to add photos to the comments check out this post) Oh, and don’t forget about the Stadium Freeplay Showoff this week.
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!
I’m running out of room to put all these tennis courts!
My bonus percentage isn’t very high as I don’t like buying mystery boxes so I’m going to keep farming these tennis courts as long as I can…
I have been using my springfield heights area as a dumping ground for a while now.
In it I have all the bonus percentage items I don’t want to use (so a lot of spare SH buildings, spare torches from the dig site etc.), buildings I don’t like the look of but still want the income from/the character associated with them, my KEM farm and now a tennis court farm (if you could call it that)… running out of space! I don’t want any of that stuff in my main town!
Saying all that, my bonus percentage isn’t very high as I don’t like buying mystery boxes so I’m going to keep farming these tennis courts as long as I can…
I’m hiding my tennis courts behind some of the bigger buildings.
Is this game dead? No Easter event like they’ve always done. No updates really.
🐢
I am from Malaysia, and I can’t connect to the game for the last few hours. Could it be that EA is updating its servers?
Having problems here in Scotland too. Can get into and play in one of my world’s ( sometimes ) but unable to log out to switch to my other account.
Had been getting disconnected from server frequently over the last week or so especially when visiting neighbours in the game.
Why has there been mo full ipdate or quest for Easter 19 ? Ive been waitong sonce the softball update and nothing.
The EA servers are down. Can’t get in TSTO
The accounts server gives this error:
{“error”:”500 Internal Server Error”}
On my iPad no connection to the server. On my iPhone6 no problem to log in…. odd…
And now both are back. Just had to re enter the login credentials and off I went…
Same… almost 8hrs now
Tomorrow is Monday. LET THE SPECULATION BEGIN!!!!!
😜
First EA has to mend the beeping servers.
Marge at Bat items disappear Wednesday at 10:00 EDT — which is frequently the time an Event initiates.
More speculation
Not lately they haven’t !
It will be another 2 weeks of nowt I bet.
Will the Maple Laughs win a game 7 against Boston? Or are you alluding to some other event….. 😉
Is anyone else having difficulties getting into the game. For about a week struggling with the spinning donut!
Happy Easter!
As much as I loved the tennis court % bump and the yearbook mystery box at Fort, does anyone else feel like it’s some sort ironic punishment? I’m grinding way more now as compared to an event.
I was really hoping for an Easter banner, egg piles, SOMETHING from EA this morning. Instead it felt like someone bit the ears off my chocolate bunny. Oh well. 🐰🐣🐇🐤
Hey, at least you got an Easter bunny even though it was earless!
This week was a big milestone in Tapped Out for me, I bought the last of the land you can get with money and I hit 1000% (I know people have a lot more than that but that has been my long term goal for awhile and I don’t have a lot of interest in going much higher than that). With that I have bought all the ridiculous high priced items (and placed most of them back in storage); completed Road to Riches, the big hippy tree thing, IRS Building and Money Mountain; bought all the land in Krustyland (I did it, it still counts). What I am trying to say is I finally beat Simpsons Tapped Out. It was a long arduous process and clearly the reward was not worth the effort, but none the less I am here.
I hit the same milestones…never thought I’d ever see 1000% bonus.
For me it means my playing style will change. I am focusing on purchasing more land and finally completing the “rock and hard place” task. I can now easily farm for content so I will probably stop buying donuts.
I do have a full taskbook with all the buildings and characters I got from the yearbook. So I will just kick back and relax and complete those.
Kinda glad to hear about the disconnects because I thought it was my cable service! 😊 Got more tennis courts than I can count and all the big % items out of the Yearbook. Hope we get a more interesting quest next time, tho. A 4-weeker would be a nice change!
MAB we miss you!
Do you think MAB knew something we don’t know about the fate of TSTO????
The downside of Easter in Holland are all those bonfires 🔥 which are burning in the eastern part of Holland (and Germany)
It is a very old (smelly) tradition which it really don’t like.
Fortunately most of them have been forbidden by the mayors of those villages.
Happy Easter 🐣🐰🐇 to you all
I feel for you Rudolph. Here in the US in many states outdoor fire pits are legal and all the rage. My neighbors on both sides of me have them and I literally can’t open up my windows for most of the summer. My bedroom is on the second floor of my house. Smoke rises, and yes, goes right into my bedroom window. It’s just awful. Recent studies show burning wood is extremely hazardous to your health and worse than smoking cigarettes. I really wish outdoor burning was illegal.
Happy Easter fellow tappers, hope all have a good spring week ahead.
Who knows if there will be an event again? And hope springs eternal
Happy Sunday y’all!

Got tired of tennis courts quickly. The disconnect is happening often to me as well. Only place 5 rat trap trucks at a time, and still get booted often. Got everything I really wanted in the yearbook…..now just getting everything else I think is cool. Happy Easter to those…..awful news in Sri Lanka…..I know….no politics/religion…but I believe there really is a war between good and evil ongoing.
i noticed we got more square spaces to purchase & was excited because i thought yay if we get more space maybe they’re going to take away the building/decoration limit. sadly not. i really hope tsto makes a bigger limit as it’s a shame that we have to put some items away because of all the new stuff we get.
Is that you, Lee? Dear, long missing neighbor?
I tried to log into my Friends to see if you had blessedly returned, but EA is down.
I’ll check in the morning.
Can not get into friends, every single one of my friends is gone!
And I took my weekly bath Saturday night. Where did everyone go!?
I’ve the same issue. All of my friends are gone too. Just have the other Springfield now. Wonder has any else got this issue? Have they been booted out for not playing regularly?
Alas and a lack.
It is a different Lee
Mine is Lee3472
All my neighbors have ‘returned’ and my Lee is still missing from the game for more than a year.
I miss you Lee, such a great design to your town. I hope you return some day.
But the good news is, I once again have neighbors.
Happy Sunday everyone 🙂
I’ve got to admit: I’m getting really frustrated with the disconnect thing. It’s really disrupting my tapping. I actually suspect that it’s intentionally looking for times when the donut count or $$ count increases by some amount over time. That seems to be consistently when I am getting it.
In my town recently I’ve just been trying to stockpile interesting design elements. I think my next ambitious project is a vegas strip-type area. Fountain squares just popped up in my vault so I snapped up a bunch thinking about that in particular.
Anyway, hope everyone is having a nice weekend!
I feel your pain, mrbort. Fortunately I’m 90% done with my redesign after my last nuke and I’m reasonably happy with how most of it has gone. Once I’ve completed Springfield I’ve got the two beachfront areas to do but I’m in no hurry to start on them, and I certainly wouldn’t even make the attempt while I’m being kicked out every five minutes.
Yeah, same on the boot. I’m assuming it’s some sort of anti-fraud protection kicking in. I’ve slowed down my tapping when harvesting my KEM farm to see if that helps. Got it today after find Maggie. Got it the other day when visiting friends towns???
Your Vegas strip idea sounds great!!!
I agree – must be some weird anti-fraud protection and it’s annoying as heck. I’m annoyed that legitimate game activities are somehow flagged as worthy of disconnect; they built the game, they shouldn’t be surprised that people try to explore the limitations of that space. Anyway, I just go slowly now and prepare for a major redesign or new design effort 🙂
Happy Easter 🐣 everyone!!! 🐰
Well, I just upgraded my iPhone from a 7 to a X and I have the zoom problem!! I’m keeping my 7 to play on going to put off updating iOS as long as I can case it happens to the 7! Im over grinding tennis courts! Still have some decent stuff in my yearbook box to pickup. I was able to get all the things I truly wanted and more, so if it leaves with what I hope will be an update on Wednesday I’m very happy 😃
Happy Easter from the Easter Possum and the Possumettes!

Ebron , Happy Easter fun picture.
Happy Easter, tappers. I’m still full from a big roast lamb lunch so I think I’ll just be eating an Easter egg (or two…) for dinner.
🙂
I though big momma was on vacation this week?
Anyway
Happy Sunday everyone
And 🐣 Easter, or
Happy C6H10O (ether)

Happy Easter Alissa, Patric and the rest of the gang.
I’m still grinding for tennis courts. Before the event, I was at 430% and now I’m close to 1050% and the boost as definitely helped my KEM farming. I’ve only been playing for about 2 years, so all these donuts have been put to good use in the yearbook getting past characters and buildings.
I’m doing the same. Never thought I would ever see 1000% bonus, but now I’m well past that and I’m burned out. I’m not harvesting tennis courts anymore.
I still have a few things I would like to get from the yearbook, but honestly, I think I may take a two week hiatus from the game. I like all the new buildings and characters, but I’m done grinding for bonus%.
And maybe in two weeks EA will finally fix the servers. I’m always getting disconnected.

lol One of my fav puns…
Hoppy Easter Everybunny!

Happy Sunday to all. It would be nice if I can be re-organising my town but sadly with the Samsung glitch back in place I am unable to do any sorting, it’s a total mess at the moment as I had just previously nuked my town. Fingers crossed they will solve the problem soon. In the meantime I will enjoy other’s town pix 🙂
Happy Easter to everyone. Easy on the chocolate bunnies!
