  1. There’s been an update so that you no longer need the Springfield Heights Theater to earn sunglasses. All characters are now sent to Springfield Elementary instead.

  2. Has anyone who is a newer player like myself (aka haven’t unlocked the theatre yet) received a reply/patch to fix the sunglasses collecting glitch? I do have a brown house but am unable to collect because I haven’t unlocked the theatre yet.

    Thanks!

  3. Cool Milhouse – the Character Skin offered a fun Questline (with so many for Millhouse – and I know there’s at least one more – it’s time to offer them up for other Characters that don’t have any!)

    Millhoose with the Discouver Vancouver Bus (needed more Character Tasks at Bus) – there’s a fun visual task involving a Moose and Carriage, I enjoyed the Questline.

    Writers offered up clever Character Dialogue, but Act 2 was 90% crap Event Prizes (12 🍩’s for 1 Token – whoop-dee-doo!) 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Back to 🍩 Farming (only logging into Game App twice this week!)

  4. Anybody else unable to login? Three days now – rebooted, hard closed, reinstalled and no joy!

    • I had no trouble logging into the Game App, but I predict many will if you are in an area where online school is taking place (lots of students at home using up Internet!)

      I did not see any Network issues posted @EAhelp on Twitter, but you are welcome to inquire with that small dedicated EA Staff by sending them a Tweet (they are available until 5 p.m. Eastern time).

    • I get the spinning donut for over two days now!
