Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Who’s ready to take a trip into the multi-verse?! Get ready for the many Homer, and other Simpson, doppelgangers to invade our Springfields through the multi-verse portal in the latest multi-event to hit our Springfield’s…Into the Simpsonsverse! As always, 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…
The Into the Simpsonsverse Event follows the same event structure of the Multi-Events before it. This event consists of 4 parts (or Acts), with each part lasting just over a week and taking us through a new part of the event!
For Act 1 we’re tasked with collecting Rotary Phones! Each part of the story will unlock another prize themed for the first part of the story. So let’s take a look at the details behind Act 1 and the Turbo Tappin’ Version for From the Red to the Black (and White)…

And that’s it my friends! All you need to know for the first Act of the Into the Simpsonsverse questline!
Thoughts on the questline? Prizes? Event overall so far? Sound off below, you know we love hearing from you!
HELP!!! I need help from my fellow Tappers. I recently purchased the Donut Tray Bundle that includes Pixel Homer. I when to donut store, purchased, approved, got the Purchase Successful notice. Three game restarted, I opened my inventory to the character tab and nothing. No Pixel Homer. He never popped up at any point. I ran through the steps of logging out and restarting game completely, still nothing. I went to Census, nothing found. I looked into character archive and he is still shaded, indicating he is not unlocked. I am stumped. I even went into donut store to see if he was still attached to the bundle. Nope only a tray of donuts and no Pixel Homer.
This is the first time this has happened in the many many years of play. If anyone has any advice on how to find him, please let me know. I will be forever grateful.
Have you tried just looking in your inventory in the general area? Next to the group storage tab? A lot of my characters, buildings, etc only appear under the general tab and not the individual/categorized tabs.
Can someone tell me why we have Halloween stuff available to collect in this update ?
Still the summer hols here😂
As a new player I think this update will be great to me !
Private Eye Office – goes swell with the Gimbel’s Department Store
Noir Homer – hey it’s a black and white doppelganger Voiced New Character (I’m liking that Noir black and white, would have been cool to have new road / land \ water tiles to create a black and white Area).
Gosh there’s enough returning Content to please any Noob (sort of feels like Halloween in August – lol!) and some I highly recommend (such as the Pumpkin House , Gate To Nowhere). I am grateful to finally obtain ‘Sailor Kumiko Character Skin with Americatown Building’ , I don’t know if I want Character Skins (Squeaky Voice Peasant, Sorcerer Frink), but that’s what’s fun about TSTO – obtain what you want and have fun with it. 😉👍🏻
Guess I’ll start on some Questlines tomorrow, but taking my time because the writing is great (once again lots of puns to laugh at!) 😅
FWIW…
I have a landline 📞 in addition to my cell phone. I live in earthquake country, cell towers have been known to go off line.
My main phone is cordless, runs off electricity.
Power has been known to go off line. No power, no cordless.
No power, no cell towers.
My bottom drawer contains a ROTARY DIAL phone.
That sucker has NEVER failed to work.
Here’s a secret, you want to dial 5-2-1?
Hit the disconnect button rapidly
FIVE times, then TWO times, then ONE time
And you will have “dialed” 5-2-1
Hence, hitting the disconnect rapidly TEN times is ‘dialing’ 0
OPERATOR! OPERATOR!
Not sure I understand what you’re talking about, but the line about having a rotary phone “in your bottom drawer” really made me laugh..bottom drawer?…Is there only 1?…anywho…but the take itself reminded me of a “friend” of mine that learned if you record the sound of a quarter..or dime…entering a payphone, …you can then dial zero for operator….playback recording,…and get “time” for a long distance call. If you “enter” , or playback enough “quarters” or “dimes”…and only made a 1 minute call….you could get some change back….often as much as the payphone was carrying. Oh…the late 80s..early 90s…..we thought we had it bad then!! Lol.
I have a rotary phone, STORED in my bottom drawer.
And I HAVE used it one time when all the power was off and my cell phone had no connection. It is insurance.
And back in the ‘70’s, I figured out what 3 digit number to dial for which prefix to make the phone dial itself.
Sometimes it got stuck. Would ring, you’d answer and hang up, and it would continue to call back.
Great way to annoy people when you get a whole bank of pay phones ringing and ringing and ringing
I must make sure to pull Helen out of automatic 24 hour task mode!
