The Great Burnsby: Store Item issues

regular splash screen
 
There’s been a patch released earlier today to fix two issues with items in the store and a further patch due soon to fix another issue affecting players with Kindles.

● Moes Express
This should have included Larry and Sam.
If you bought it already or if you buy it later it will now include those 2 characters.

● J. Edgar Hoover.
If you own the Undercover Hoover skin you can now buy just the character.
If you already tried to buy the bundle you can either contact EA Help and they’ll apply the character and possibly help with Donuts if you had a few goes.
( Open your Store and tap the Get Help over the top right of the panel )
Alternately you could write off the loss and get it anyway.

Both of those were fixed in the earlier patch.
PS. If anyone out there has J. Edgar Hoover on offer on it’s own can you confirm it’s still 140 Donuts, same as the Bundle cost ?? Thanks.

 
● Mob Lawyer bundle
On Kindles this isn’t showing up.
There’s a patch due soon to fix this.

EDIT:
I had to reload my C town after the patch but the Mob Lawyer bundle is now showing up for my Kindle.
 

Back tomorrow with the full info on what’s back in the Store.

Showoff Announcement: Fears of a Clown

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s been awhile….hope you’re all doing well!  Life is crazier than ever with work getting busier, the kids getting bigger, and my schedule getting fuller!  But I miss this community a whole bunch!

It’s that time…calling all Addict Designers!  We’re getting ready to do the next Springfield Showoff, and this time around I want to see what you’ve done with the Fears of a Clown event stuff! With new and old buildings and decorations arriving with this event, show me how you fit them into your Springfield!   So prep those towns…because we want to see what you’ve done with your Springfield!

As always please remember to limit it to 1-2 of your favorite areas/photos…we can’t show your whole town unless you want to send in your entire town via town portrait.

So use this time to polish up your town and show us how creative you can be!  Send in your event-inspired designs by 8 pm ET Thursday, March 21st  (sorry, I know it’s short notice!)) and we’ll be putting up the Showoff post featuring your designs on Friday, March 22nd! 

Remember, your designs can be anything and everything from Fears of a Clown new and old, and how you worked it into your Springfield

Clown Bart

So grab some screenshots of your town, or finish up those designs… make sure to send your submissions in by about 8 pm ET Thursday, March 21st can’t wait to see what YOU have come up with.

You can send your designs in two ways…either post a link to the image in the comments on this post or you can email them to us at TSTOAddictsblog@gmail.com.  We won’t be pulling images from anywhere else, so please if you want to be featured either submit in the comments below or email your images to us.

Note: PLEASE try to limit your submissions to only 1-2 of your favorite screenshots.  We like to try and let everyone showoff their town but it becomes difficult when some of you are sending in 7-10 images.  Pick your favorite areas and send them in (or if you stitch photos together, that works too).  We’ll try our best to get EVERYONE in, but please understand that sometimes we miss a photo or two.  If we miss you one week, we’ll try really hard to make sure we get you in the next week.  You’re always welcome to showoff your town, at any time, on our Flickr page.  We know a lot of you have awesome towns that you want to show off, but please try to stick with this week’s theme.  Remember, this isn’t a contest.  There’s nothing to win.  It’s just a fun way to showoff your town and get some design inspiration from your fellow Addicts.  🙂   

Do you want to be featured on the next Springfield Showoff?  Post your images in the comments below or email us your screenshots at TSTOAddictsblog@gmail.com. We can’t wait to see YOUR designs! (Need help with images, just ask.) 

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…..
