Addicts Open Thread

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s that time of the week again, time for the Addicts Weekly Open Thread!  So, let’s get the conversation going!  Oh and remember…just because this is posted here today doesn’t mean you can’t comment on it all week long.  This open thread will still be open for comments long after today is over!

Here’s where you can talk about anything you want to talk about…TSTO Related, Simpson’s Related or ANYTHING.  Just no Add me requests…those should go here.  We’ll give you a few suggestions (like most Sunday’s you can talk about the current episode of the Simpsons or current Tapped Out event) but for the most part, you’re free to talk about ANYTHING your little Tapping Fingers desire…just keep it PG.

So, here is your Open Thread…..

Lots of things you may have missed this week around the Addicts Site:

Simpsons are back again this week. Did you catch the episode reminder? Looking forward to the return of the Jacques?

The lase major event is over. Did you unlock everything?

How’s your Springfield design coming?  What are you doing with your town? Share some photos in the comments below! (If you need a refresher on how to add photos to the comments check out this post)

Any weekend excitement going on in your neck of the woods? Catching some World Baseball Classic semi-finals games? Any plans this week?

So chat about the Simpsons, TSTO, Update fun, or anything else you can think of! (Just no politics, it never ends well)  Can’t wait to chat with you all, you know we love hearing from you!

Have Fun!  And happy Sunday!

  1. Is it required to buy Skipper Jack to unlock Fausto?

  2. Hi all, is anyone else having a glitch with a daily quest? My characters just keep returning to Krusty Burger (I think it was an all springfielders visit Krusty Burger task). Then if I reboot the game the task is finished, the characters start walking away, the after about 10 steps they all turnaround and go back to KB! The daily task has now gone from the 3day list and I can’t start the new event because my characters are all tied up! Please help 🙂

  3. Hello all. Was there ever a fix to the Princess Opal bug? I’ve had her part 3 task in red since the fall and it always bugs me. Was there ever a way to get it to complete? Or at least disappear? Thanks!

  4. Does anyone know anything about the “The Simpsons Tapped Out Fun Group” on Facebook? It sounds like it could be a little sketchy….first, you have to be over 18 to join (which, in and of itself isn’t totally sketchy, but does seem a bit odd…), but then the description says “A [sic] over 18 group to get free donuts, characters etc and a little community where we can chat and have a laugh!” and I’m wondering about the “free donuts” part and whether they’re a hacking group or whether they just mean they share techniques, like farming, for getting free donuts?

    I only heard of the group because it was one of several groups (the others not TSTO-related) that Facebook sent me an email about, in case I might be interested in joining them. I would have just joined the group to check it out myself, but, if it has anything to do with hacking, I don’t want to be associated with it at all!

  5. There’s an update in App Store. Mini event tomorrow?

  6. Speaking of having more donuts than you can possibly use, how many available donuts do you have right now, and what is your total bonus? I have 363051 and a 16034.46% bonus.

    • You’re almost at the bonus I had before I stored a ton of it, but I do know a player who had over 25k% at one time
      I’ve got many more sprinkles though, but they should see you through at least the next 6 decades !!

    • Thankfully not everyone is at that level…there would be zero reason for anyone to ever spend money to keep this great game alive. It’s fun to have all your “money” in a game..but If your great model is followed by everyone….everyone will lose. It’s great to be a braggart..but what exactly is your great accomplishment? Hopefully you throw a few bucks at the game every once in a while..for the greater good…but that amount of each hardly causes me to believe you do. If you spent your share…that’s good..and worth a just feeling….but to just come out with that statement is really annoying to some people.

      • Can’t speak for the OP but I spent more once I started farming and make a point of at least getting Black Friday tokens for my two older towns. My research game has the Key to the City, Barney and Frink deals bought and I’ll spend more on that at some point too.

      • My in-game cash and levels have been maxed out for ages in both my games, but I still spend real cash on most of the items and deals that come up, and I’d bet an afternoon’s beer money that most people in my position do spend what they can…

        But feel free to condemn anyone who has made more progress, and quite possibly been playing longer, than you have.

        Your attitude is annoying to some people, too!

      I had over 6000% bonus for a while until I figured I had enough donuts (a little above 10,000). Then I reduce to about 2000% which is enough to buy everything. It can be annoying to collect 45 to 60 donuts every day. Plus it helps when you are near item limits.

      • I even leave the collider off unless I want to top-up the Ds.
        Faster tapping that way and not just not stopping to open box after box

  7. Does anyone know if there is a pattern with old character re-releases. I currently have 616 characters but am shy about 41 to have 100 percent of all characters. I missed some of the early ones before I learned about the kwiki-mart farming and I took a break during 2017 2018 when the game had really bad connection issues bug.

  8. Eric W. Bennett

    Got a message that I had reached the game’s currency limit.
    Looked up the value and found:
    The number 4,294,967,295, equivalent to the hexadecimal value FFFF,FFFF, is the maximum value for a 32-bit unsigned integer in computing.

  9. Do we know when the next event is?

  10. Hey everyone how yagoing?

    Loved thelast event and unlocked everything though cant wait for the next so i get some more things to unlock only 2 more days aest 😁

    Though here are my ideas of a potential event.

    Main predection (business or resturant) going by past events theyre is a patten we had our yearly music one and yearly sword and sorcery so our yearly food or business next?

    Comic book store gets burnt down – Bart and Millhouse get revenge so they burn down the Android Dundgeon – resuming from the Wyrmwood storyline

    Ester / St. Paddys day i dont believe well get another as lastwas 2016.

    History related we haven’t had our yearly history eventyet usually its around Black History Month.

  11. No…not everyone’s game is doing the stutter.

    I don’t understand the SF monument question at all.

    I don’t think there will ever be an event that awards just characters….skins/buildings/decorations will always be prizes..we hope anyway

    I don’t think there are charts available for what you are wondering about…except my private ones, but there may be lists…or graphs..diagrams, maybe some spreadsheets..but I think there are some charts…I think sandrashill has them..

    Oh…and no one is REALLY level 939..just You..,you are THE top TSTO ….according to My chart anyway….either way…Im just gonna stop now.

    • Nope, I don’t have charts for any of those things….and I don’t think anyone but ea would have any way of knowing how many players are at level 939 (but I would guess quite a lot).

  12. Hello everyone! I really want to start with this Game. But at The moment I can’t Open it on my Samsung S23. I can install it, but it doesnt start. Any suggestion?

    • Check your time and date are correct for where you
      Check how much other stuff you have running – needs a lot of memory and storage to run it, see what you can shut down while you play.
      Do not use a VPN when playing.
      Do not install on external storage ( SD card etc. ) – needs to be in system storage

  13. I really wanted a dragon for my Warmfyre Welcome event but I didn’t want to spend all those donuts. Sorry, Gil!! I’m a wee bit disappointed that there was no Valentine’s Day or St Paddy’s Day acknowledgments this year. Hoping for some Easter content to fill in some spaces. Looking forward to the next adventure with Homer and the fam.✌🏽

      Once you gain some levels, bonus XP and use the multiplier you will gain enough donuts to buy what you want. If you haven’t done the beachhouses yet from spingfield heights, build AND upgrade them as soon as you can. Combined they are good for 100% bonus XP. I bought all premium items this event without spending any money. I did spend some last black friday.. so I got a head start to be fair

    • charlesthefirst1

      There are lots of entries here on how to donut farm you might want to check out. Depending on luck it should only take 2 to 3 months get you into position to have more donuts than you could ever use.

  14. When visiting a neighbor’s town I noticed that he has like seven times the amount of boardwalk tiles that I have, although my game says I have reached the max amount and can’t produce more. Does Anthony know why is that? Is there a way to buy or produce more boardwalk tiles?

    • Look for the yellow Submersible in the yearbook.
      Send that off and it may return with a Boardwalk or Pier tile, or nowt

      • Not sure how it fits yet, but it looks like this latest event might increase the boardwalk tiles limit even if you don’t own the Submersible

  15. Is everyone’s game doing the stutter right now?

    Wondering if the SF Monument will ever work on completed character tasks.

    Wondering if there will ever be an event where it’s all characters, no skins or buildings.

    Is there a chart somewhere showing total characters ever made for the game, total buildings, etc?

    Is there a chart somewhere showing how many people are level 939? Am I a top TSTO addict, etc.
