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 is off again tonight and will return after Valentine’s Day. Did you catch the last episode 10? Also, as mentioned three weeks ago, season 35 is finally under way in the UK. Did you catch the start of season 35 if you live in the UK?
The latest mini-event came to an end last week. Ready for what’s next? Any guesses?
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? Did you catch the NHL All Star festivities?
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!
HELP PLEASE!!!!
i recently try to log on my Simpsons Tapped out witch i haven’t logged on for 3yrs.. and now i am totally lock out of it and i have no choice to start a new on witch it sucks…ci have a progress of 10 yrs running on this game its very heart broken that i i spend all that time building my town and now i lost it all!!! 😓 believe me i try to contact my old email provider and EA origin and they cant do nothing on both end. I am here today to ask for help and what i can do. Hope to get a reply soon thank you!
Getting access to the old email is the best bet, but seems like you tried that.
If you think it might help try again, or even ask them if they can forward the next email from ea with the code so you can fix your EA account and then try to get in to edit that while you talk to the email people so they have the code as you chat.
If not you’ll need to keep trying with EA Help to get them to change your email address.
They’ll want you to confirm security details so log in to your account and view everything.
Only answer with what they will know, for example recent purchases only for games you paid for from EA, not any in-app or Donut buys because they won’t know about those.
It won’t be easy, but if you’re lucky it will work. It might take a few goes though.
If you can get it sorted add a second email as a recovery email and also think about adding a mobile number as long as it isn’t used on any other EA account. That way if you run into problems later you have a choice of ways to get the security code to fix your account.
You can also tap Phone at log in and use the registered number to get codes via SMS.
Always keep your EA account up-to-date.
Has anyone tried to use the Apple Vision Pro with the game? If so, what are your thoughts.
Anyone having an issue of simpsons people repeating the same job and unable to complete any other tasks? Every time I collect the money from the majority of my characters completing my job they immediately return to the same place to complete the job again.
Often happens when you send lots on the same task.
When you’re rich / bored / need someone then just store where you tap to collect and it’ll break the loop.
Don’t forget to put the thing you stored back.
HELP! I bought the Hellfish Monument from the Mystery Box and did all of the quests with Grandpa and Mr. Burns. After I completed all the tasks, I got the notice that I had (with the fireworks going on) finished. Then I go a task of tapping the monument. I did and nothing happened. The task is still there. I tried putting the monument into storage and then put it back, but it is still there. I then tried to restart the game, still there. I then put in storage and then restarted the game, still there. What else can I do to get rid of the task? Is this something I need to contact EA? Whatever help you can give would be most appreciated!

I’m curious but is there a “point” now to friends?
I think i noticed 90% of my friends haven’t played or logged in for years but I haven’t removed them and added new ones.
Before they had events where you visited friends’ towns and they also gave friends points or whatever they were called. But I don’t think they’ve had points for a long time.
So is there a reason or point to visiting friends’ towns now?
Can anyone answer how many friends I need to get the task to go away from my to do list? For 5 stars in socialism?
Which task in your task list? You might try finding the name of the task, then accessing search (up on the menu bar) and searching by that task name. You’ll likely find an article on this site with details about that task.
I Choo Choo Choose You – task.
I’ve bought my way with donuts out of the first two tasks. Add 1 friend and Add 3 friends. How high does it go?
Also the socialism rating on the conform o meter. Any idea how many friends I need to get to 5 stars? I’m at 1/2 of 1 right now.
I have people who still regularly visit my town but almost always tap right around the Simpson house so I really go all out to seasonally decorate my Evergreen Terrace and give characters in the area fun visual tasks to liven things up. I think long time players don’t visit as much as we’ve long since won all the prizes for doing so and in my case, the large towns take so long to load- I only visit at special times to check out designs. As for friends who stopped playing but had real cool town designs I still might want to scroll through, I put them to sleep rather than delete them. I do have friend spaces available if people want to see my town, same user name without a space in between.
I reached the final prize for tapping friends towns so I rarely visit any other player towns now. It would take an event or a new prize track really.
I guess, if you’re up to date on available friend points, the only “point” to having friends at the moment is to be able to see other people’s designs (and potentially get inspirations from them).
I’ll admit I rarely visit my friends, but I do occasionally go through the list and weed out ones that have stopped playing (except for a few with whom I used to feel a bit closer to, back in the day when this forum was more of a community…I tend to leave a few of those on my list in case they ever decide to come back and also just to remember them by).
I do wish they’d bring back more incentive to visit friends, although nothing too demanding…I don’t have time in my life to visit all of my friendvilles daily, like I used to do, once upon a time.
I have been playing since nearly the beginning and I visit friends who visit me on a regular basis. It’s kind of like saying hi! I love to visit my friends, and I love when they visit me.
One note.. my town is really big so I appreciate when my friends click near the landing spot. I miss people who click far away from there.
But that being said, its also a good idea to click on one of your three handshakes a little bit away from the landing area, because if during a quest, one of my characters ends up there, it cancels out the handshakes before I can see who visited me.
Hello to my friends that visit me! I appreciate you!
See, now I feel the opposite! I love when friends tap somewhere away from the landing spot, because it means they’re actually looking at my town, which I’ve taken pains to design nicely. The landing spot area is okay design-wise, but it was created back when I was a low-level player and IGC was tight and donuts super scarce. I couldn’t afford to buy much land, so things are more crammed together there and not always quite as logically placed as they are in later areas of my town.
While I agree I like the “hi”s (although I admit I rarely reciprocate these days), I don’t need the taps and mostly like the idea of having other folks check out what I’ve done with my town, which means taking a look around. When I do visit someone else’s town, that’s what I try to do, and I tap far away from the landing spot to let them know that I’ve been looking around!
I have a response to each of the first 4 posts, so I’ll do it as 1. BBoyheat..I hear that. I’ll definitely watch the Super Bowl..but am getting tired of the Chiefs especially. During their last game versus the Ravens, I stopped counting after 12 straight commercial breaks where there was at least 1 commercial with either Mahomes, Kielce, or coach Reid..doesn’t seem like the NFL wanted the Ravens to advance, and that’s not even considering the eyes now viewing because of Swift..what a disgrace. And now with gambling so prevalent, I’m starting to think it’s the NFL..Not Fair League.
I’m with you too Charles…I need land expansion very soon. There’s not much more condensing and consolidating I can do. I don’t spend much real cash on the game anymore, but put land tiles, or groups of land tiles available for purchase and EA would have a customer in me.
Sicka DaSnow…I also prefer green grass..if you catch my drift, but also was a fan of the white stuff too..lol. But seriously, I’m in northern Maine, where the real snow will be here until at least April..until May in the mountains and ski areas.
Storbinc..Im getting there as well. During an event I do check into my game just about every 4 hours, but in between events, or when I finish one, I usually only check in once per day, sometimes skipping a day in between.
It’s a shame about the Ravens, I’m a Steelers fan and can’t argue that they weren’t a great team to watch this season.
Lamar had a bad game. Not sure if it was the pressure of the expectations and facing Mahomes or if all the gambling odds made it favorable for him to not show up. Normally when he can’t find his wrs he just takes over the game with his feet but didn’t seem to have it this past week. Nor did anyone else on that team. Oddly. And those turnovers were the nail in the coffin.
I thought the lions didn’t stand much of a chance in SF but they made it fun and you just never know these days in the NFL.
The Super Bowl should be a good one, two great teams,
but if it’s late with the game on the line and Mahomes has the ball; you’ll start to see the laundry fly in his favor.
Kelce and Swift kissing under the confetti while Andy looks on, comforted by a cheeseburger(s) and another Lombardi.
The niners have been dismantling teams for most of the year so it’s no surprise really to see them still standing.
I really thought the Ravens were the best team this season but the best people and things in life don’t always win.
The season is over for me, but I hope ppl enjoy the game and being together.
We’re on to hockey.. 🐧🏒
I think the snow in Springfield is relative to where you are playing from in the world. Odd to not see it in February if you are in Maine and Odd to see it for more than the Christmas event if you are somewhere like Brazil or Texas.
But it’s not like we have to shovel it or drive to work in it.
Cheers 🍻
Being a Chiefs’ fan and living through 50 years of missed field goals and defensive players being offside and other heartbreaks, it has been a good 5 years. I can see fans being sick of the commercials but I think there has only been 34 seconds of TS on screen (though the rest of media do spend too much time talking about her). Mahomes, Reid and Kelce are “good” guys versus the bad attitude Patriot’s coach and possible cheating scandals. They are “good” stories with Mahomes winning with a hurt leg and Kelce being hurt this year. But I can see how other teams fans can be sick of the winning, especially when they thought they had a chance with Hill being traded.
The Chiefs have been a great team, no doubt.
I think it’s just one of those things where if they are your team its been a great 5 years, and if they aren’t you are tired of seeing them every February.
We’ve seen a lot more than 34 seconds of TS, they show her at least half a dozen times per game. The other 3 hours is Tony Romo gushing over his crush, #15.
Been Brady or Mahomes in the AFC title game for about half of my life 😅.
Enjoy the game, you earned it this post season.
The problem with Brady / Patriots were they were not fun. Early Superbowls were all defensive. Later there were the cheating accusations. The Chiefs early had exciting comebacks in the playoffs. This year they are more defensive so a little less exciting for non Chiefs fans. See was on for a minute during the Dolphin game, but an average of 25 seconds according to the NYT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo7PokqFq30
They’re all “good guys” until they’re not. See Tiger Woods, …with most of them, it’s just a matter of time..
True, but right now they are “good guys”
When is the next event coming?
It hasn’t officially been announced. But the Shattered Dreams Mystery Box ends in 2 days and 18 hours, which takes us to Wednesday morning. Based on that I would guess the next event starts Wednesday morning (North American Eastern time). But who know’s, EA can be clowning with us.
Boycotting the Suoer Bowl. Tired of seeing the Chiefs and the Niners on my television.
I think we are going bowling or skating instead. Anything really..
Looking forward to the next Event this week.
Without a land expansion I have to destroy previous designs to add new items. Getting kind of pointless.
They really need to bring back golden Goose realty
I honestly don’t understand how that happens, unless you tend to build huge designs. I’ve been playing since 2014 and still have quite a bit of unused land. I do try to design a nice, semi-realistic town, so it’s not like I’ve sacrificed design for space. I do build somewhat compactly, and my earliest areas are especially compactly built, since it was so hard to afford new land very early in the game.
My only current space issue had to do with where some of my unused space is located… Sometimes certain “themed” areas are locked in by other areas around them, so I can’t put something new with the themed areas I’d like to add it to. Or, I have open space adjacent to a theme that I don’t want to lock in with unrelated items or don’t want mess up that theme putting items that are anachronistic to close to it.
But I’m not even close to being out of space over all (I think)!
I know some people who don’t place everything. Or have anything touching that you can see the full design (like a city versus a suburb). But if you have an large monorail, Krusty land, rivers, nature, etc you run out of land quick.
I’ll admit I don’t place *everything* and I do design with an eye towards space economy. For example, when I built my golf course, I made it a 3-hole golf course (plus driving range and other stuff), because I didn’t want to devote even more space to it than the pretty large tract of land I had to use just for what I did do. And, yes, I do design some areas more like a city (maybe because I grew up in NYC?) than a sprawling suburb, although I do have areas of nature and various themed areas that take up a fair amount of space.
Any idea when the snow will be leaving Springfield? I miss the green grass. Possibly the next event, I hope?
Slightly burned out on TSTO, but I still go into my game at least once a day to cycle characters and start the daily task.
