Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow morning, Wednesday, October 30th, Week 2 (Act 2) of THOH XXX will be starting. The official start time is 10am ET.
While the Week 1 questline won’t be going anywhere, so if you haven’t finished the prizes you’ll have a chance to complete it even after Week 2 starts, all of the Week 1 Premium items will be leaving the store.
So if you planned to purchase the Monkey’s Paw Salesman or Gil’s God Deal, do so before they leave our games tomorrow morning. (SIBs Linked)
Also, here’s some inside info to help you prepare for Week 2 to start…
During Week 2 Zia convinces Count Dracula to help Kang and Kodos with their world domination plan. Of course, you’ll have to follow along with the dialogue to find out what happens, but the same characters used for Act 1 currency tasks should be used for the Act 2 currency tasks, with the exception of the Monkey’s Paw Salesman. (I don’t trust the list EA sent us, as it was completely wrong for Week 1) Again, the Monkey’s Paw Salesman will NOT earn currency for Week 2. So we’re looking at: God, Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Grampa, Maggie, Nelson, Milhouse, and the New Premium Character for Week 2…
You’ll also need Zia and Kang free for the initial questline objective…
There will also be one new premium character combo introduced during week 2, and that character will be able to help with the currency earning for week 2. (150 donuts will be needed if you’d like to purchase the combo)
And that’s it my friends! Be prepared for Week 2 to start up tomorrow morning!
Thoughts on week 1? Ready for week 2? Excited to see where the story goes? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
So I don’t have the Evil Shopkeeper in my store because I previously got the House of Evil.
**If I sell House of Evil, could the bundle pop up in my store?**
I’m sure it’s already posted but what excites me is it’s now around 4 full days since I’ve seen the BART screen of death. Finally I can visit the 17 neighbors I have remaining without having to reconnect at least 3 times. Must be having God in the game.
I blasted through week 1 so fast I can barely recall what happened in it. To boot since I’ve no real use for $$$ nowadays I’ve opted to stop KEM farming and focus on rat trap truck blasting when I have the time. Nearly made the 777 donuts back from God’s overpriced slab.
I’m sure it’s that way with a lot of long time players. I do it now too. I put out 24 rat trap trucks at a time and make 114 donuts.
Thank you to the timid techy @EAHelp for restoring my game app access (FYI? If you visit help.ea.com/en/ you will see there is a server problem effecting all EA games for every platform – mobile, console, pc!) 👍
Yep – Gil Deal got extended ’til the end of the Event (gee, I wonder why? could it be Tappers tried to buy 🍩’s to get the Gil Deal ? didn’t get the 🍩’s they purchased? are still waiting for their refunds?) 🙄
EA is like a hamster stuck on a hamster wheel right now 😅 and nope! – I’m not buying anything from EA ever again (from zero expectations to zero trust!) at least not until EA does something to improve their in game connections 😬
It looks like Gil’s God Deal got extended and is now showing 21+ days before it expires, like everything else related to the event. Also, I converted a ton of cash into donuts via Rat Trap Trucks and never got a single Bart Screen! I gradually increased the number of trucks I bought at a time from 5 to 10 and still didn’t have any trouble.
Hooray for some good TSTO news!
Probably because of the issues buying donuts
Is it just me or did they add days (21 days left) for Gil’s promo?
vutastic
Oh we got 3 weeks now to Farm 777 🍩’s (because nobody can buy any)😅
Well EA logged me out of the Game App, but their systems are down, so there is no way of logging back in (looks like @EAHelp is going to have a field day getting their “you know what” handed to them – and that will include me later today!) 😬
Hope this is solved before things start tomorrow …
Just looked at the calendar i already have a lot of the prizes so lots of 12 donut prises for me 😠

I DO share your irritation (it’s not just the fact that these Act Prizes are in the Mystery Box already, it’s also the fact 12 🍩’s is not an encouragement to Tap away) …. I do thank EA for returning some THOH content (but we need Item Limits to be increased) because it’s more THOH then the Prizes so far!
Let’s see what tomorrow offers 😉
Agree completely. Many of us have thousands of useless donuts that we can’t do anything with, so getting 12 more useless donuts with nothing to spend them on is really sad.
Homerclese
Patric nailed it! Item Limits need to be increased … and what’s in the Mystery Box shouldn’t be an Event Prize
Thank you for sharing what you can regarding Act 2 / Week 2, Alissa (well, I’m glad you were sent something by EA, but I’m sorry if the information isn’t 100% accurate) ….. let’s see what new Premium content appears (I said new Premium content because I have no trust in what this Week’s Prizes will be – a new Building? Character? More 🍩’s? Anything THOH related ?)
Im sorry….Mind Fart central…..
Who all do we need for tasks?
Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Nelson, Monkeys Paw guy,… Who else? God?….
Monkey’s Paw Salesman does not apply for week 2.
God, Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Grampa, Maggie, Nelson, Milhouse, and the New Premium Character for Week 2…
(EA sent us a list, but I don’t trust it (it was way off for week 1). So I’m making the assumption that the list will be the same from week 1 to week 2)
Thats what i figured too….but my mom-memory loss has been in high gear lately.
Thanx a bunch!🎃
sandytoes74 needs some brain boosting dispensary time stat! (or a nap, both work for me) 😉👉
I’d expect a couple of the regular characters and …Salesman will be swapped out for week 2.
There will probably be a new premium and the others can drip-feed act 1 if you’ve not finished.
That’s what usually happens with this format it seems
^^ Wrong !!
The Monkey Paw Salesman was swapped out but the rest stayed the same.which is unusual
How much more ‘eventful’ would it be if they simply allowed the Nightmare Pile to be used by all qualified Characters like Zombie Sandwich..? An easy fix for a lEAzy company.
Can we use Nightmare Pile or Zombie Sandwich for anything this event? Or were you just saying it would be nice/cool if EA were to incorporate those things? I stored those long ago, and had already forgotten about them.
They work as normal, just more appropriate during THOH.
Great idea, make it so Picard
Still trying to get the spooky donut promo resolved, which has been hella annoying. Charged twice, the contact I made told me to wait 24 hours, then wait for maintenance, then told me I was contacting the “wrong” part of EA. My iPad safari doesn’t like the EA help link from the build page on TO, which is apparently the “right” way to contact them? Needless to say, I’ve spent four days and at least a few hours waiting in line to “chat” with associates at EA and I have nary a donut nor my $42 dollars back in my account. Obviously they have Mr. Burns at the helm there. . . So, don’t go for the bonus thing still. It’s still broken. And not so easy to fix.

Very sorry for the poor customer service on EA’s end (I guess they don’t want Tappers to spend 💰 on the Game App?) I hope you are refunded, because the next step would be to file a complaint thru the iPhone App Store against EA! 🙄
Was very happy to pick up Halloween decorations that came back, now I have a great Halloween area!! Finished all the quest lines and I’m ready for week 2!! Is there a third mystery box coming? Thought I read that somewhere and now I can’t find it. Lol Happy Day Friends and Happy Tappin! 🎃😈☠️👻💀🧟♀️🧟♂️

A new Mystery Box for Act 2 / Week 2 seems logical …. but it looks like what would be in a Mystery Box is available for Simpsons $, or 🍩’s (there is no logic to EA anymore (lol)😅
It would be nice if they brought back all the kids customs in the Yearbook, or store… and more settings for the Super Hero neighborhood, you know the one where they battle each other… I forget the name of it.. it looks like a back alley of some city.. and it was used for an event (characters would battle there)… I still need the one with 2v2 and 3v3 animations..
For UK tappers the event will start at 3PM (GMT )
UK tappers is 2pm start now our clocks have gone back 🙂
Thanks a lot Alissa! Ready for Week 2 here 💪
We see leaves (or something) blowing.
I found the dialogue for week 1 lack-luster. It’s not feeling very Halloween In Springfield. They phoned this update in / threw it together at the last second
These events aren’t even events anymore.
No music, no mood lighting, no leaves blowing.
No neighbor interactions.
No costumes.
Nothing.
