Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
TSTO is back baby! We’re FINALLY getting on, what feels like, a somewhat normal update schedule! Praise Jebus! The theme of this multi-event? Simpson Babies. Of course, an all-new mini-event means all-new premium content in our stores, just tempting us to drop those pink sprinkles!
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 Teenage Smithers and the Malibu Stacy Fan Club to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this pretty in pink combo to your town…

Pros
-Helps with the event, earns a special premium rate (only Act 3)
-4 and 12hr animated tasks
-Club is animated when in use lights on.
-Teenage Smithers will use Fan Club for tasks.
-(Big) Smithers has a permanent 4hr task at Fan Club, Catalog Malibu Stacy Collection
-Comes with a (short) questline
Cons
-Only helps with Act 2 currency
-A young version of Smithers
-Not voiced
-Both animated tasks are performed outside the Fan Club.
Final Thought
Premium or Freemium:
Like just about everything else with this event, it’s fairly priced by today’s TSTO standards for a building/character combo. It’s not a bad buy, it’s average compared to all of the other items. Plus the Fan Club will go well with other Malibu Stacy items.
Of course, in the end, it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do…and as a premium player, I already picked it up (almost instantly). But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).
