Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Gather ’round the tapping device everyone, it’s update time in TSTO! As Halloween is alive and well in our pocket-sized towns…even if it is seven days into November! Of course, an all-new 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 Bridge Troll Moe and the Deep Dark Woods to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this Fairy Tale combo to your town…
Building/Decoration: Deep Dark Woods
Character: Bridge Troll Moe (Full Character, NOT a costume for Moe)
Donut Cost: 150 Donuts

Pros
-Helps with the event (Week 3), earns a special premium rate
-8 and 12 hr visual tasks, and they’re pretty amusing
-Comes with a questline
-Deep Dark Woods are animated when tapped
-Moe has a 4hr Premium Job there, Visit Ancestors
-Voiced
-4% bonus is nice (forgot to add this earlier)
Cons
-Another version of Moe…
Final Thought
This is a fun character. His tasks are amusing, and he helps with the event. Other than that it’s a standard character/decoration combo, with event currency tasks. And the Deep Dark Woods are fun and can lead to some great designs. If you like him, grab him, otherwise pass.
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. But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).
Here’s a look at the tasks…
Bridge Troll Moe’s Permanent Tasks:
| Task | Length | Earns | Location |
| Write Riddles | 1hr | $105, 26xp | Deep Dark Woods |
| Sabotage the Competition | 4hrs | $260, 70xp | Moe’s Tavern |
| Scare Away Potential Friends | 8hrs | $420, 105 | Deep Dark Woods |

What are your thoughts on Bridge Troll Moe and the Deep Dark Woods? Will you be spending the donuts to bring it to your Springfield? Did you already? Why or why not? Where have you placed it in your town? Design plans? Sound off in the comments below, you know we love hearing from you!
And feel free to share some photos of your design plan as well! If you need help (or a refresher) posting photos in the comments, check out this post.
I think Alissa needs to start a Post on Lost Neighboreenos ….. it’s an ongoing Problem with EA and the Origin Accounts (and this is effecting every Game on every platform they have!)
Make some noise on @EAHelp Twitter
(you got time to grr on here? you got time to let L-EA-Z-Y know how you feel on their social networks!)
Don’t even try the help section of their website! Good luck with live chat (unless you’re a masochist!) The official forum? Ppphhl riiiight 🤣
I’ve Farmed back enough 🍩’s to easily obtain …. but this Premium Combo isn’t a priority (and I already got the last Prize for Act 3 / Week 3 this morning).
I will keep Farming for 🍩’s as you never know what EA will bring back during the last Week (honestly? I can wait for this to show up in a Mystery Box! I have to remove content because of G@$D&+* Item Limits just to appreciate what I did want for THOH this year! 🤬 )

I also have lost my neighbours, feeling guilty as they are visiting me, but I cannot return the compliment, I have emailed EA about this and they are looking into it for me.
3 days now and my neighbor s still haven’t returned, I still see some visits in my town but I can’t visit anyone’s, ??
So…I am sure you have tried this…but have you shut your device down completely…then logged back in? Sometimes the cache gets choked.
Thanks Patric, tried all the usual stuff
I lost my neighbors on my ipad, but they were still there when I play on my phone.
I really need more land before I can buy anything big. Will the opportunity to buy land come back?
Anyone wanna rebuild my Springfield for me??
Sorry for the multiple comments. For some reason after I tap ‘post comment’ everything just blanks out, I’m signed out of WordPress automatically & it doesn’t show me my comment saying ‘waiting for moderation’. Weird. It’s been acting like this for ages for me which is why I haven’t been commenting here lately. I wish I knew how to fix this, it’s very depressing. 😕 RachelS
Lost my neighbors too. Also having a terrible time trying to post a comment! Seems like WordPress won’t keep me signed in or something? I’ve almost given up trying to comment at all over here it’s been so bad. We’ll see what happens this time. This is my fourth try! 😕 RachelS
I bought him as I probably wont play next week so this is my last grab. Then I lost all my friends. They can see me, I can’t see them. So sorry to all my awesome friends I’ve had for years. (Syndulla)
Anyone else have all their neighbor towns disappear? They all came from here and were real,,but it says they aren’t in the game now, like felicite333, chercher222, sraigearturas, says they all din’t Have a town. This isn’t true.
I have none of my friends showing, there are a few posts on it(on this thread too).
Hopefully it will resolve soon.
I was so glad to see your comments! I was wondering if I’d find any answers over here when I saw all mine gone too 😐 RachelS
Since I cannot visit you in person….

If I could have you over in person, I would have the solace that you’d be safe from the fires. How are things going for you and your community?
I hope all is well.
All is well. Winds have died down. Fires are under control. We never were in danger from BIG fires, although ‘small’’ Ones popped up a few miles away.
Re-thinking what to place in our ‘to go’ bag. What to grab if we have 5 minutes, 10 minutes or 15 minutes warning.
After loved ones, medication and insurance papers and financials – what next?
All set for earthquakes- food, water, sleeping bag, radio, etc.
but for now, all is good and hoping for the rainy season (November thru April) to start.
Thanks for asking
Are you at risk for mud slides in the rainy season? With all of the fires, there aren’t many roots and other vegetation to hold the mud in place.
Keep safe.
Luckily I am not in danger of mudslides. Enough of a slope to drain water, but not so severe as to face ‘slump’ or ‘creep’.
😃
Good to hear. I hope all are well out there.
Hi expatrie!!!
I lost all my neighbors but today THEY ALL RETURNED!!!
Yahoo! Yippee! Yippee! Whee! Hurray!
👯💛👯
I hope all of your other neighbors’ towns have returned too! 🤞
I just don’t like that it doesn’t have an Outside 4hr visual task… 🙁
instant buy.. I have the donuts, the space, and the set up.. 🙂
I’ve been able to visit neighbours today but the new ones I tried to add a few days ago are still absent
My friends all disappeared too…have done everything…log out, reboot, re load etc….they can visit me, but they show as “never played” in the origins list. ☹️
3 days without friends to visit. 😢
A lot of us are in the same boat including me.. so if my neighbors see this.. I’m sorry! You know I visit you on a nearly daily basis, but I’m unable to due to this server glitch.
Yes I am without friends also, so will visit when able
And I thought it was just me.
Hey….u moved ur simpsons house….what’s ur message mean? Is it new? Ive never ventured to ur town’s outskirts before! Lol
It means I have moved to MangoFusion01
This is a springton that I had started years ago, but left it alone and started playing my son (Nico’s town).
In the NicoRox13 I have all but a handful of characters and never have anything in my mystery box. This version has something to build for. Given the wailing wall price a few weeks ago, I bought a few and decided if I could get the 777 donuts for the gill deal, I would make the move.
That message was for my neighbors so they would know where to find me.
So r u done with nicorox13?
For now, I might go back at some point.
I cant seem to visit or add friends now, like a lot of others.
👍
Love the 8 hr task! 😄
And the woods are great too!
Got it. Placed the item in squidport, I thought it was odd being able to place it there, could just be EA phoning it in again.
Do they have Dora The Explorer Tapped Out? 🎶I’m the grumpy old troll, who lives under the bridge🎶
Now ive got the damn “Im the map” song on repeat in my head…
Ever since Facebook put out the Basset Hound commercial, I am stuck with the song “Back in Baby’s Arms”. It’s driving me crazy, but I love the commercial…especially “a vast desert, devoid of Bassets” …so funny!
No, I’m the map!
🎶if there’s a place you gotta get, I can get you there I bet🎶
Good purchase, happy with it. Would definitely recommend if only for the 4% bonus and another premium character. I haven’t seen the animated tasks yet as I’ve been using troll Moe to complete event tasks, but sounds like they’d be fun.
Apart from owning God this is my favourite premium purchase of this event as the animation is hilarious! 🤣
Other than that… *yawns* … 😐
4% bonus is pretty sweet. That’s a Pro
Like this decoration and the outside visual great, pity about the bridge, lol🌉👹
You could have added the “Rickety Bridge”, if EA had two neurons to rub together and had put it in the Halloween decor group. Sheesh 🙄
Gonna do a scan of my town for extra/out of place mushrooms….and bridges……
Can NOT BELIEVE they didnt put the bridges in this event’s decor! Knuckleheads. Lol
So far:

There’s no escape!
Get thru the woods and fall into the hilarium pool…get out of that and fall in the swamp. 😆
And the mushrooms (regular and giant) from Angelica Buttons world…would have made a great addition to the Deep Dark Woods.
Yeh think I have some in storage
Character for the (now) standard price. Plus 4% bonus. And it’s funny. YES!
Picked him up right away. Those mushrooms are too cute! I’ll have to do some rearranging after the even is over to find a nice spot for him.
