Questline with Dialog:
Ego Trip and Fall part 1:
Calypso Self Knowledge: Hello Springfield! I, Calypso Self-Knowledge, do hereby ignite and alight another Blazing Guy Festival!
Moe: Oh great. Once again, the supply of Duff Less will get cut off because of your stupid festival.
Barney: What happens if we run out? How will we get five percent less calories and eighty-percent less taste?
Calypso Self Knowledge: That’s a little people problem. Stand aside, as I survey my domain!
Barney: Someone’s a little too high-and-mighty!
Moe: Yeah, I don’t know about the “mighty” part.
• Make Calypso Self-Knowledge Survey Her Domain – 4 hours
• Make Moe Pretend to Clean Bar Glasses – 4 hours
• Make Barney Realize He Doesn’t Even Like Light Beer – 4 hours
Ego Trip and Fall part 2:
Homer: Oh, man, what a week. Moe, I need a beer, stat!
Moe: “Stat”?
Homer: Marge has been binging some doctor show lately. I think it means “give me something for free”.
Moe: Not here, it don’t.
Barney: Oh, no, here comes the fairy princess again!
Homer: What did you call me?
Calypso Self Knowledge: Attention, everyone! Attention! I will now regale you with the rite of spectaculi ignem in the form of motion poetry.
Moe: Motion poetry? Hey, I better not get shut down by the cops for this.
• Make Calypso Self-Knowledge Perform Motion Poetry – 4 hours
Barney: So…what did that mean?
Calypso Self Knowledge: It meant that you can’t extinguish the burning needs inside of you just by pouring liquids on it.
Moe: Hey! If this is just another one of those interventions to get my customers to stop drinking, you can get the hell out of here right now!
Ego Trip and Fall part 3:
Homer: Marge, Marge! I got two tickets to a tractor pull! Date night is saved!
Marge: A tractor pull? How can I even tell which tractor is pulling which?
Homer: That’s part of the existential dilemma that makes tractor pulls so compelling!
Calypso Self Knowledge: Attention, people of Springfield! May I have your attention?
Homer: Oh, no. Not her again.
Cletus: Why for is she interruptin’ the tractor pullin’?
Calypso Self Knowledge: It’s come to my attention that maybe I’ve elevated my profile to a higher level than can be appreciated by you troglodytes…
Cletus: What’s she jawing on about “truck lights”?
Calypso Self Knowledge: …so henceforth I will be keeping a low profile to appease the masses.
Marge: Interrupting a tractor pull is no way to keep a low profile. It’s like dieting at a donut shop.
Homer: Oh, I’ve tried that.
Marge: Yes, I know.
• Make Calypso Self-Knowledge Interrupt a Tractor Pull – 4 hours
Ego Trip and Fall part 4:
Moe: Hey, here comes that Calliope Self-Important chick again! Barney, have you got any rotten tomatoes?
Barney: They didn’t start out that way but after a few hours in my pocket…
Calypso Self Knowledge: *dodges a flung tomato* Hey! I’m not even doing anything annoying this time!
Moe: We’re still ticked because you flew off with all the Duff Less at the tractor pull.
Calypso Self Knowledge: No, I didn’t. That guy drank it all and blamed it on me in a drunken hallucination.
Homer: Wait, what did I do?
Moe: That’s always the question, ain’t it?
• Make Calypso Self-Knowledge Blame Homer for Beer Shortage – 4 hours
• Make Bar Flies Blame Homer – x 3, 4 hours
• Make Homer Wonder If It Was His Fault – 4 hours
Homer: Wait a minute Moe! Look!
Calypso Self Knowledge: *picks up a beer keg and flies off* Yoink!
Moe: I dunno, Homer. It’s still easier to believe that you’re so drunk that I’m getting your second-hand hallucinations, than watching some girl fly off with a keg of beer.
Homer: You’re right. Better give me another beer.

There you have it, over to you. Is this a must-buy, a maybe or a hard-pass?
Your opinions might help any Addict who’s not made up their minds yet so please share your thoughts in the comments.
Back later with a look at the Gil Deal.
In the group storage image, I recognize a monsaro building and the brown house. But what is the third building (if it exists) and how do I get it?
For any staff member who sees this comment…
Could I write an article for the site? I’ll send it to the addicts email, and you can look over it before you post it. It would be an article looking at everything unique in this event. You can choose when it would be posted.
There are sometimes reader submitted posts – From the Mouths of Addicts – but that’s down to Alissa.
Use that title as the subject of an email and send your submission in to ..
TSTOAddictsblog@gmail.com
Only Alissa can see the emails and it’ll be her decision on posting it or not, but who knows …
If you want to use pics / screenshots in the article include them as attachments or grab image links from here if we’ve used suitable pics in the posts already – saves having extra copies of things on the server.
If you just want a maybe on it for now then using the email address above and giving Alissa an idea of the content before writing up the full thing might work.
Is it “down” to Alissa?..language is babble…I would’ve said it’s “up” to Alissa to decide…oh..who knows nowadays anyway….my 76yr mom..with Parkinson’s asked…”beat Medicine?..what does that mean Michael? I said, “remember when your Mom, my “Memere”, was in the nursing home with Alzheimer’s?..well….that’s what beat Medicare means…..I’ll remind you in a day or so….
Help! My husband & I both purchased Gil’s deal and we both have Delbert. We have each made several sculptures but so far no % bonus. Are we missing something?
The planet sculptures give a 2.5% bonus, every other sculpture gives more vanity rating. Only Delbert can make the planet sculptures.
Okay! Thank you. I knew we had to be missing something. Cheers! 🙂
Thanks Safi, I bought the bundle and gils deal. Enjoying this act. Just wish a patch would come through to correct the zoom so I could zoom all the way out.
Make sure to get Delbert Fornby if you got the welding yard, as playing four times a day with both will generate 10% bonus per day. The second cheapest deal gets you about 10% for 80 donuts. But you don’t need to spend any donuts to generate the 10%! More information will probably be released in the post about it. ETA for it was Tuesday, so it could arrive any moment.
I’m really enjoying this building music festival area. Thank you very much
Interesting character, but Delbert and Cactus Bart and Lisa are still more interesting in my opinion. If I had enough donuts, though, I would get all the new content in this event- it’s all great!
Do you think this event being much higher quality is a result of the devs working on it for longer, or do you think EA hired more people?
All the different things:
1. Two bundles of decorations
2. Things that walk around the town (chameleons, clowns)
3. Different variables (not just five chameleons for each part, not just 4 hour cash times)
4. An extra character for the act four premium
5. A Gil deal with a decoration-making building
6. It started with no week in between events
7. Multiple decorations available for money (desert trees, rocks)
8. Multiple bonus values changed (rocks and barrels)
For a long time I’ve eschewed the term ‘event’ and used ‘content update’. At last, EA has given us what I would deem a real event, and I’m glad of it. Whether it’s fresh blood or more resources, I hope it keeps up.
I’d especially appreciate something new for Black Friday.
I’m not worried about collecting all the buildings and extras for each event, but I would like to collect all the characters in the “character collection”. But I’m not seeing the different chameleons to collect, the dog, or the kids shrubs/cacti? Am I missing something or not looking hard enough?
For the cactus kids, I would recommend re-watching the Spoiler Video (or wait until Act 4).
NPCs (chameleons for this event) usually become available limited time for sale after the event ends.
As for the dog, unfortunately you missed out on the Donut Day deal.
Hey Safi!
I’m a huge TSTO fan, and just herd about the site a few days ago. Unless you already have one planned, could I write an article looking back at this event (how unique it was)and send it to the addicts email? It would be meant to be posted after act 4 starts or after the event ends. I don’t want any kind of reward, except for credit on the article.
Yea…you’re probably missing something…I think it’s a building..or a tree. Hey Safi…go Sox. Alissa….which one of the Yankees pitchers was crying after the last series the Sox beat them down…a week or so ago…check the tape. Hope everyone is dealing with heat/floods/fires/inflation as well as possible. Only a few more years to go. In the meantime….head to Northern Maine…breathe the clean air..fish in the bountiful lakes, rivers, and streams. Say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of city life…where, to be honest, the amount of particulates inhaled into lungs is frightening….but I digress….when does NFL Football start?
