We’ll have more to say about this event in the next episode of Addicts Live. But, for now, enjoy the Event and have fun! And be sure to sound off in the comments below. You know we love hearing from you.
Having now finished the event, I was surprised to see no reference in the quest line to what was going on on the splash screen which was some of the reprobates apparently gambling on the large ship’s wheel to the right behind Budda Homer.
Another oddity but probably not event related- I no longer have the option to change Krusty tickets to cash using the Krustyland entrance. (My Wife is also a tapper and it still works for her). Perhaps a clean install might be needed.
The option to exchange KL tickets stop when you reach 3 billion in game cash.
Thanks for that. I knew there was an ultimate cash limit but not this.
Well I finally spoke with someone at EA about the login verification issue. They’re aware of the bug, but don’t have a fix. Hopefully it’ll be fixed before the end of act 4. Might have to spend a crap load of donuts to finish in time.
I agree with Scott. I will be done tomorrow morning with the main event and by Saturday with all the premium character quests. The totals with each quest have gotten lower over time (used to be 200+) and the event time has gone from 7 to 9 days. The challenge is gone. (Although the script entertainment value remains high.)
See how easy those Safi Calendars are?
Freemium – keep on grinding and you’ll be done in 6 Days!
Premium – you are either done (and partially through the Questlines), or you will be by Friday!
Alright, there’s a Visual Character Task on top of a Temple that I got to keep the Dalai Lama doing (because it’s so funny!) 😅
Happy Tapping Everybody! 👍🏻
Lol bit late for me, am almost finished 🤓😎🏴🏴
Busy times lol

LOL! You’re going too fast. Go at the minimum speed as shown in the calendar!
I’m sorry, but how is this not just boring as hell now? Everything is the same: the games, the play, the process. We used to have such a variety of game play, action, prizes, but it’s all carbon copy anymore. I desperately needed your site to decode what the game wanted from me. Now I can do it in my sleep: starts on Wednesday, then Friday, Sunday, Tuesday for the finale, nothing remotely like a surprise. I’m honestly looking for a reason to keep going, and having a harder and harder time finding it.”Yay, I have the latest and greatest what-not from the imminently predictable Simpsons game” doesn’t sound like a prize. All of their “level up” teasing is getting all too real. I used to enjoy this, with the friendship prizes, the challenges, the feeling of accomplishment. This might be the bourbon talking, but now I feel like the only reason I’m still playing is the time investment I’ve already put in. You guys are great, but how does any of it matter anymore?
I agree Scott, the Event Format has been ‘rinse and repeat’ for too long! It’s not going to change (except for slight changes regarding what type of Prizes will be available!), but all I can do is enjoy some of the New Content (and I have!) while hoping that small dedicated EA Staff will finally offer up a ‘Land Expansion’! If EA was trying to cancel this Game App? They’ve done a Top Notch job of doing that due to the ‘verification code’ process (I only have one Springfield, plus I keep my email to my Origin Account up to date, so it wasn’t a big deal for me – but it was big enough of a deal that I lost plenty of Neighbourinos!)
My motto is to have fun with TSTO for as long as I can until EA cancels it! 👍🏻
