Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s update time in Springfield! And after 8 years of TSTO, we’re finally tackling Black History Month! No time like the present for EA, huh? What’s in store for us this time? Well, we’re tasked with finding out the history of Dr. Hibbert, Carl, Lou, and the Simpson Family! Loads of dialogue with this one, so be sure to read along to see what happens! And of course, I’ll be posting it as each week wraps up.
Black History Month (Heroes of Springfield) follows the same event structure of the Multi-Events before it. This event consists of 4 parts (or Acts), with each part lasting a week and taking us through a new part of the event!
For Act 4 we’re tasked with collecting Wheel Cakes! Each part of the story will unlock another prize themed for the fourth part of the story, the Simpson family history!

And that’s it my friends, the details of the first 3 Black History Act 4 prizes in TSTO!
Up next? Virgil Simpson! (well the Mystery Box token is technically next, but I’m sick of talking about those…)
Thoughts on Act 4? How are you doing with the prize track? Plans for the prizes? Sound off below!
I have been trying to get this event done, Dont see why they set the numbers so high on the prizes. I play 10x a day and if i keep it going i can prob finish it with 20-40 doughnuts on last prize. I just sold about1000 bloodmobiles and now have some extra donuts.
The Traveling Circus is a nice looking decoration and I like the little animation of the pins and smoke from the carriages. It looks good with the Cirque De Puree and the other circus items. 🎪
The Crematorium Bot isn’t the best decoration in the event since (like the Adult Skateboards) it is a future decoration, we already have the Cremo Bot from the “Days of Future Future” episode tie in 5 years ago though the Crematorium Bot looks more like the bot from the episode than the one from the tie in. I haven’t put it anywhere but it’ll probably work with the Cryo-Stasis Memorial or the cemetery. 🤖
Mabel’s Wagon is an ok decoration that can work either in a western area, at the Canadian Border or with the circus, great to see that there’s tasks there for Virgil and Mabel and I was a bit surprised to see it do something when tapped. 🐎
I’ve lost all enjoyment from this game. There no way I’ll complete any of this events quests; I just am not able to log in often enough. I don’t donut farm (nor do I understand how or have had the desire to really learn). I have billions of game dollars and nothing really to spend it on. It’s just become a habit to play.
Any suggestions to help this malaise over TSSO?
Even if it sounds like too much work ….. if you’ve got your XP Collider on ….. if you’ve got tons of Game Cash ….. just buy enough to generate earning 🍩’s each time you log in to the Game App (you don’t want to Grind, you might as well spend sprinkles to expedite OR don’t – you can wait for new Content in the next Event – we still have choices with how we play TSTO thankfully).
This event has been the pits! I work full time, if I’m lucky I can set the game three times, normally that will suffice. Not this time. I have been so far behind that I completely skipped Act 3. I did this in order to move on the Act 4 which I liked the prizes better, if I complete 4, I can go back and attempt 3. Crazy!
It is a poorly executed Event Format that is turning away Tappers ….. I can’t see myself spending the sprinkles to expedite thru an Act again if the Content is going into Storage.
I will give some credit for the Tokens if they got you Content that you missed out on (but you don’t want to Grind for a Token only worth 12 🍩’s).
.I hope you make the most of what you obtained (I personally enjoyed the last 2 Premium Character Building Combos the most).
Crematorium and Wagon are recycled items that we already had in the game.. Less cool looking but still recycled… useless boring and lazy… plus the token… bleh… lamest.event.ever…..
I’m really way behind. :😬 I’m still working on part 3. I don’t understand why I’m so far behind! I log in 4 times a day. Unfortunately, I don’t have the doughnuts to rush the quest . Oh well, I guess for the first time in all these years I won’t be able to finish. Boo hoo. 😵
Good luck everyone, and enjoy your weekend. 😎
I will be out of pocket on the weekend.
I have about 100 donuts.
If I have to rush, I will do it on March 11, in the evening (i am in eastern time zone). That way, it will cost the least amount of donuts.
Do your best until then, and then make a decision.
If you are on the last stage of act 3, stop, and love into act 4. You should be able to finish any tasks that you have started, so you should be able to work on the final task after the event ends and get the character then.
Do NOT spend money to rush this silly event!!!!! Read my Filler today when it comes out later. There are far better ways to get your donuts.
When I said out of pocket, I meant I won’t be available. I will finish the event, but I might have to use 30-50 of my donuts to get there.
Aahhhh….phew! Not familiar with the term out of pocket I guess. But, I’m old…and often out of pants.
lol ok, boomer 😉
Why you…snot nosed punk!! I oughta…
“What does it do?:” not much
“What do I do?:” place it in storage
That’s happening too often on this event.
I love the new characters, don’t love the grind.
Enuff said.
Don’t store the wagon. It’s home to tasks for Mabel and virgil
Thanx for the tip!
I’m useful…at times 😉
Understatement!
