Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Murky water, trees have changed colors, and leaves are blowing in Springfield, that can only mean one thing…the annual Treehouse of Horror update is upon us! 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 Mecha-Chalmers and Rigel 7 Military Base to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this military combo to your town…

-Visual Tasks are 1hr and 4hrs
-Will use Rigel 7 Base for tasks
-Skin for Chalmers, NOT a full character.
What Did I Do?:
While this is the standard price, I passed on it in my Springfield. Partly due to the fact that it’s a skin, but mostly the combo just didn’t appeal to me.
Here’s a look at the tasks…
Mecha Chalmers’s Permanent Tasks:
