Should I Spend Donuts On Grandpa Van Houten and his RV?

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Update time in Springfield and everything’s coming up Milhouse!  Always nice to see new content in TSTO, as the latest event has hit our games.  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 Grandpa Van Houten and his RV to your Springfield?  Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this great indoors combo to your town…
