Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Well, spending actual cash on donuts for a character is back in TSTO. This is something EA’s been rolling out over the last few years, and it’s a new bonus for actually spending cash on donuts. (instead of just farming them) Where they attach a premium, limited-time, character to one of the donut bundles in addition to bonus donuts.
This time around we’re being offered Muscular Milhouse, a premium character (NOT a costume), for a truckload of 300 Donuts ($19.99 in the US)..no bonus this time around. While it’s hard for me to sit here and tell you if you should or shouldn’t spend actual cash on the game (spoiler, I think you should always spend at least a small amount…even if it’s $.99/year on the game if it brings you joy and you want to see it continue) I thought I’d do a quick breakdown of Muscular Milhouse, his tasks, questline and other details you may be curious about.
So let’s consider this an abbreviated Should I Buy….
So what is the deal? When you can find it in the Currency Tab of your Store (also by hitting Get More)…
Basically spend $19.99 on a Truckload of 300 donuts and you get the Muscular Milhouse character.
And yes, for those outside of the US I know my price is probably lower than yours. EA only charges 19.99 USD for this package…anything over that that you are currently paying goes to Google/Apple/Amazon for Tax and Duty etc. EA only collects the 19.99.
So, personally, I think this is a terrible deal. $19.99 is WAY to much to pay for a character, especially a one-off character. EA needs to have these back at $9.99, a much better deal then. (or throw a building/decoration in with this one)

The Hardest Place to Add Mass Pt. 2
Muscular Milhouse starts
Duffman: Hey there, chicken legs.
Muscular Milhouse: Who you calling chicken legs?!
Duffman: Why you, of course. Pencil neck. Dough butt. Rubber teeth. All these insults apply to you. Oh yeah!
Muscular Milhouse: How can I ever earn the respect of a famous beer mascot like you?
Duffman: Have you considered calf implants?
Muscular Milhouse: Implants? Pfft, no one actually does those.
Duffman: How do you think I got these puppies?
Muscular Milhouse: Are they calves or puppies?
Duffman: I’m gonna add “donkey brain” to the list of insults. Oh yeah!

Duffman: So are my abs, pecs and shoulders. Duffman is sixty percent implants. Oh yeah!
Muscular Milhouse: Who did you go to?
Duffman: Duffman went to Dr. Nick. Duffman’s calves look great, but they’re made of Playdough.
Muscular Milhouse: Playdough, huh? I think I’ll give Dr. Hibbert a call.
The Hardest Place to Add Mass Pt. 3
Muscular Milhouse starts
Dr. Hibbert: Ah, well if it isn’t little Milhouse.
Muscular Milhouse: Who you callin’ little?!
Dr. Hibbert: Easy, Milhouse. I’m guessing you’re experiencing irrational irritability because of testosterone injections. And that you’re here for more testosterone injections. *chuckles*
Muscular Milhouse: What? No, I’m here for calf implants. I need to get swole.
Dr. Hibbert: Oh, that’s not really something I’d recommend for a seventeen-year-old, no matter how irrational or irritable.
Muscular Milhouse: I am not irrational! Or Irritable! And I just turned eighteen!! I’ve had like twenty birthday parties!!!
Make Muscular Milhouse Go on a Rampage- 8hrs
The Hardest Place to Add Mass Pt. 4
Muscular Milhouse starts
Muscular Milhouse: Eh, what’s the point. All this destruction isn’t going to embiggen my calves. Although I did just TOTALLY blast my quads!
Apu: Excuse me, exceptionally muscular boy-sir. I couldn’t help but notice that you are very good at handling trash cans.
Muscular Milhouse: You want me to take the garbage out at the Kwik-E-Mart?
Apu: No, I want you to protect it from would-be attackers. But if you could take out the garbage, that would be nice too.
Muscular Milhouse: Would-be attackers? You mean like robbers with guns?
Snake: Nobody move! This is totally a stickup.
Apu: Ah, yes. Mr. Snake. Right on time. And speaking of a stickup, I have hired this muscle-bound manchild to shove this stick up your—
Muscular Milhouse: Enough! You picked the wrong Kwik-E-Mart on the wrong day. Leg day!
Make Muscular Milhouse Weakly Kick Snake- 4hrs
Snake: Yo was that a joke, chicken legs? That kick was slower than Wiggum’s response time. It was thinner than Duff Lite. It was weaker than—
Muscular Milhouse: I get it, you’re not impressed. Moving on.
The Hardest Place to Add Mass Pt. 5
Muscular Milhouse starts
Muscular Milhouse: There’s got to be someone in this town that needs my muscles.
Fat Tony: I could use someone like you.
Muscular Milhouse: You could?
Fat Tony: Yes indeed. In my line of work, we can always use muscle. It’s even its own job description.
Muscular Milhouse: What do you need?
Fat Tony: Well, you see, some associates of mine are tired from lugging around my…area rugs. I need to hire someone to help share the load… Preferably someone with an alibi for Tuesday night. You interested?
Muscular Milhouse: Am I! I love a good rug. It really brings the room together.
Make Muscular Milhouse Throw “Rugs” Over the Bridge- 4hrs
Fat Tony: Excellent work. I hope those rugs learned their lesson to always pay back what they owe. Plus the 125% vig.
Muscular Milhouse: Uh, speaking of payment?
Fat Tony: Of course. I am now in your debt. Should you ever need any services performed by anyone unwilling to perform them, I can provide irrefutable elements of persuasion.
Muscular Milhouse: Meaning?
Fat Tony: You need anybody leaned on, just ask.
The Hardest Place to Add Mass Pt. 6
Muscular Milhouse starts
Dr. Hibbert: Well, Milhouse. Thanks to Fat Tony, you have your new calf implants, and my access to black market stimulants has been restored.
Muscular Milhouse: Thanks, Doc. After I tore up your office I thought you’d never do that operation for me.
Dr. Hibbert: Oh, I didn’t do the operation.
Dr. Nick Hey, everybody!
Muscular Milhouse: Hey, Dr. Nick.
Dr. Nick: Now stay off those legs for at least two weeks! Just enough time for the Playdough to harden and for you to binge watch Liger Queen.
Make Muscular Milhouse Watch TV- 4hrs
Kent Brockman: Tonight, on Eye on Springfield: Are muscular men more attractive to women? In a recent poll, a shocking 95% of women say they can’t stand muscular calves on a man.
Muscular Milhouse: Noooooo!
Kent Brockman: In other news, Playdough announced the recall of a toxic batch of its signature product…The announcement was made at the Springfield Factory — shown here as local toddler Maggie Simpson floats helplessly above…
That’s pretty much it on Muscular Milhouse. A premium character for Springfield. He’s fun, and if you’re looking to complete your future kit, he’s worth adding to your Springfield.
