Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
In our games, the snow is falling and TSTO is calling yoo hoo! It’s the most wonderful time of the year Tappers, Christmas in TSTO! 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.

A must buy for me. Great combo, not the usual building or decoration, but something nature related is indeed useful and an extra mountain is just a great idea.
Character is from a classic episode and very funny. What else?
I agree, looks great on the new land and it’s my staging area for the upcoming sleigh races. I also moved my fever cabin out there to free up a little space in my Christmas area.
Crash update in store
I purchase this item. I really like the view of the the building decoration. I bought this right away.
Park Ranger – Voiced, funny Visual Character Task – especially one involving 🦝’s tossed at people (FYI in case you haven’t noticed? 🦝’s are a running gag in this Game App!)
Mount Useful – Scenic Building (you get XP and Simpsons 💵’s + a nice piece to build a Forest around!) doesn’t take up much Real Estate.
Act 1’s Premium Character Combo is worth the 🍩’s ….. but all I ask from EA is to please come back next year and ‘seal the deal’ (via a Mini Event) with more Content from “Mountain of Madness” (Season 8, Episode 12) such as:

Who doesn’t want to see Ralphie Wiggum sitting on the lap of Hosey the Bear at his Hosey Shed as a Visual Character Task? (FYI Hosey the Bear this voiced by Harry Shearer so that guarantees a Voiced Character in Game App!) 😂
Hank Azaria voices Ranger McFadden (so we know this Character will be Voiced in Game App), the Isn’t a huge Building (but it could offer up permanent Character Tasks for several Springfielders!)
Great addition to the new frontier
I bought it right away… since it helps with the event. Also looks great in my new frontier land of Canada. Moved over a few of the other mountain waterfalls there as well. This helped free up some land in Springfield for buildings and such.
