Springfield Showoff: Real Moms of Springfield

Important Note: Good Morning! I know yesterday’s speculation from EA has got a lot of you excited about a possible event hitting.  As of right now I have no information on a new event, nor is there anything in the files.  I’ll do my best to keep you updated on it, but I am going to be unavailable for a few hours today.
For now we’re operating as usual, with our regularly scheduled post plan…which includes this Showoff Post and a DID post later from Patric. (of course things may change if something hits).  If you’re looking to speculate about what may be coming with the next event I encourage you to head over to this post and comment there.  This way we can keep event speculation posts in on place 🙂

Thanks guys!
Alissa

As we sit here frakkin files, pulling pics, and typing a million words a minute to get our readers the latest updates and information…we sometimes find ourselves forgetting to stop and enjoy our own games. More so our neighboreenos. So we try to make it a point to hop in n out of the towns now and then to see what cool things YOU are up to. So we have decided we want to continue to focus more attention (as if we don’t already 😛 ) on YOU…our readers. Time to time we will be peaking into your towns, checking our Flickr, and also the posts in the comments below to see what cool ideas and designs YOU have come up with to make your towns unique and…well…YOU.

So here is YOUR chance to show off all your hard work, time, donuts & in-game cash spent. Send us your work, no matter how big or small and brag about it to the world. We want you to! Then keep your eyes posted to Addicts to see if YOU end up on our “SPRINGFIELD SHOWOFF”.

This time around I wanted to see what you’ve done with the Real Moms of Springfield Stuff! (Jittery Joes, The Needle Exchange, Kitchen Carnival, etc) We’re featuring the buildings and decorations from The Real Moms of Springfield mini-event, from the areas of your town that you wanted to show us.

And I’m not sure why, but for some reason, the enthusiasm wasn’t there for this showoff like it usually is. Not sure if you guys weren’t thrilled about the content, not feeling TSTO designing with all the downtime, or what the case but we only had 3 players submit their designs.

Because it can always be a little intimidating and frustrating trying to figure out just where to put anything in Springfield…I wanted to make sure, even though there were only 3 players who submitted, we still featured their designs. However, instead of a photo gallery, I’m going to truly feature these designs.  I really think they’re great, and these players took the time to submit them…even if this wasn’t the most popular event.  So here they are…

First up we have designs from Ebron…

She’s added her Jittery Joe’s to the Springfield U Campus…who better to get hooked on coffee than college students pulling all-nighters?!

Next up is ebron’s Needle Exchange, nestled nicely in between Knot What it Seams and the Yarn Barn….Kathy from Personnel would be proud…

Next, we have Santos L. Halper’s designs…

Here’s Santos’ Jittery Joe’s, complete with outdoor seating…a must for coffee shops in a town where it only snows for 4 weeks a year!

Santos L. Halper even found a great spot for the Kitchen Carnival!  It fits in nicely with the Fireworks, Candy & Puppy Dog store and the Donut shop.  The perfect item to caramel any item from those stores…well except puppy dogs and fireworks.  I don’t recommend that…

And last, but certainly not least we have Savblair’s design…

Here’s Sav’s Jittery Joes.  Another one with outdoor seating and this one has newspaper dispensers.  Perfect place to grab a Springfield Shopper, a Cuppa Joe, and relax outside…

Thank you Ebron, Santos L. Halper, and Savblair for your submissions!  You did a great job with them and I know they’ll inspire other Tappers!

What did you all think of your fellow Addict’s designs?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!

Stay tuned for the next Showoff announcement!  In the meantime keep designing those Springfields!
