If you’ve been zapping through your tapping and it’s all been a bit of a blur or if you just fancied a reminder of what the writers got up to this time you’re in luck.
Here’s all the dialog and tasks for this act …
No, you’re not going mad. Usually this is the last post for an act, but with so many of you asking about those Chameleons it makes sense to do this now – you’ll see why soon.
I’ll do the post I planned on those Chameleons tomorrow. I had meant to do it before the weekend, but didn’t unlock ’em until just after midnight on Friday – at which point they scattered and it took until the early hours of today to hunt them all down and check the animations.
After that I’ll get to the Prizes and then a bonus recap on what’s new in store that will also make sense when you read it.
In this post:
• Prize track: A Separate Dysfunctionality parts 1 to 5
• Outro: The Incredulous Journey
• A quick note on Chameleons
Prize Track:
A Separate Dysfunctionality parts 1 to 5
A Separate Dysfunctionality part 1:
● Cactus Bundle (3 Decorations)
Legs: Even under the best circumstances I hate coming to the desert with a shovel. But to get my car out of the mud?! Fuggetaboutit!
Homer: Consider it forgotten about.
Louie: You keep mouthing off like that, Simpson, and we’ll “take care” of you.
Homer: Oh, how kind of you.
Uncle Zio: People who don’t understand mob lingo give me agita. *spits on Homer’s shoes and walks off*
Homer: Thanks, but I don’t think a spit shine will last in all this mud.
• Collect Cactus Juice – x 60 
• Capture Chameleons ( tap Chameleon NPCs ) – x 10
• Make Festival Attendees Continue to Be Angry – x 5, 4 hours
• Make Marge Steer the Family Away from Other People – 4 hours
• Make Homer See Flashing Lights in the Sky – 4 hours
• Make Lisa See Them Too – 4 hours
Homer: Uh, Marge, I’m seeing flashing lights off in the distance.
Marge: How much of Cletus’ moonshine have you had?
Lisa: Mom, I see them too! Look!
Bart: I’ll bet those lights are from one of those desert casinos I once saw in an ad that I accidentally clicked on in front of a ViewTube video on UFO conspiracy theories.
Homer: Sounds convincing to me. Let’s go see.
Marge: I guess it isn’t the worst idea you’ve had today.
Lisa: It may not even be in the top five.
A Separate Dysfunctionality part 2:
● Mirage Ahead Sign (Decoration)
Bart: I think it really is a casino!
Homer: Forget calling for a ride! We’re spending the night here — on me! *starts running*
Lisa: Mom, what do you call something that appears to be in the desert but really isn’t there?
Marge: Hope.
• Collect Cactus Juice – x 100
• Capture Chameleons ( tap Chameleon NPCs ) – x 15
• Make Marge Worry Some More – 4 hours
• Make Lisa Dream of Watching TV – 4 hours
• Make Homer Dream of the Casino Buffet – 4 hours
• Make Bart Dream of Sneaking Into a Poker Game – 4 hours
Homer: Hello, Mr. Concierge! I’m so glad to see you! *big hug*
Lisa: Uh, Dad. The casino was just a mirage.
Homer: Yeah, I get that now.
Marge: We’re going to be trapped in this desert forever!
Homer: Marge, look! I see another casino on top of that cliff!
Bart: Hang on, Pinhead. Who’d build a casino on top of a cliff?
Marge: Bart’s right. It’s probably another mirage. Let’s keep going.
Cregg Demon: Hey, where are those people down there going?
Tribe Chief: I don’t know. I’m starting to think maybe building a casino on top of a cliff wasn’t such a great idea.
A Separate Dysfunctionality part 3:
● Slot Canyon Slots (Building)
Lisa: I’ve never been this thirsty in my life.
Bart: Water…need water…
Homer: Or light beer. Same thing, really.
Marge: I don’t know where we’re going to find any water. This desert goes on forever!
Bart: Is that another hotel concierge or a really big cactus? I can’t tell anymore.
Homer: Either way, I know how to get water from a cactus.
Lisa: Uh, how exactly?
Homer: I remember it from a scene in “McBain of Arabia”.
Lisa: Don’t you mean “Lawrence of Arabia”?
Homer: Maybe. I watched it on my phone so the guy was pretty small.
• Collect Cactus Juice – x 125
• Capture Chameleons ( tap Chameleon NPCs ) – x 20
• Make Homer Slice Open the Cacti – 4 hours
• Make Simpsons Drink Cactus Juice – x 2, 4 hours
• Make Lisa Start to Feel Loopy – 4 hours
Homer: Sweet, sweet, thirst-quenching cactus juice! It’s the quenchiest!
Bart: It tastes terrible yet feels so good!
Lisa: Maybe too good. Does anyone else feel a little strange?
Marge: No. This is the first time I’ve felt good since we left home.
Homer: Uh, oh. That can’t be right.
Lisa: I’ll say. LOOK! *points at a group of shadowy figures in the darkness*
A Separate Dysfunctionality part 4:
● Cactus Maggie (Character)
Homer: Relax, Sweetie, those are just more cacties? Cactussusses? Cacatusi? What’s the plural of cactus?
Cactus Maggie: *suck, suck*
Homer: Thanks, Maggie. The plural of cactus is *suck suck*.
Maggie: *gasp*
Lisa: *gasp*
Bart: They’re cactus person versions…of us!
Marge: What do we do now?
Lisa: We have no choice.
Homer: Run away?
Lisa: We have to kill our cacti selves!
Homer: Oh, that’s the plural: “Cacti selves.”
• Collect Cactus Juice – x 125
• Capture Chameleons ( tap Chameleon NPCs ) – x 30
• Make Simpsons Fight Their Cacti Selves – x 4, 4 hours
Marge: You know, fighting a cactus version of yourself when you’re high on cactus juice is strangely cathartic. I realize now I shouldn’t let things stress me out so much.
Lisa: I know. I realize I don’t need to try so hard at everything.
Bart: And I realize I should probably start trying harder at everything.
Homer: And I realize people shouldn’t be so critical of me, because I’m pretty great.
Homer: Hey, this guy is on to something.
Marge: Homer, have you been fighting your cactus self or not?
Homer: I started to but I realized he’s got more of that sweet cactus juice inside him than I do. It wouldn’t have been a fair fight until I evened it out.
A Separate Dysfunctionality part 5:
● Springfield Mesa (Building)
Marge: Oh, boy! That cactus juice really went to my head. I can’t walk anymore. *lays down*
Homer: *lays down* I guess this is the end of the line for the Simpsons. We had a good run.
Bart: *lays down* We had a long run.
Lisa: *lays down* This last year feels like it’s been going on for decades.
Maggie: *lays down* *suck suck*
Bart: Hey, what’s that over there?
Lisa: *gasp* It’s the desert chameleons! And they’re all marching single file in a line!
Lisa: Let’s follow them!
Homer: Only if they’re marching to the nearest cactus juice bar.
• Collect Cactus Juice – x 160
• Capture Chameleons ( tap Chameleon NPCs ) – x 40
• Make Simpsons Debate Giving Up – x 3, 4 hours
• Make Lisa Convince Family to Follow the Chameleons – 4 hours
Bart: Ugh! I hate that you talked us into getting up and walking again! I feel like we’ve been walking forever.
Lisa: They’re taking us to the top of Springfield Mesa!
Marge: How is that going to help us?
Ned: Hi-diddly-ho, neighboreenos!
Outro: The Incredulous Journey
This won’t show up until you have all 4 acts completed
Homer: Flanders! He must have followed us up here to get the recliner back. Let’s get out of here!
Marge: No, Homer, he can take us home. Unless he’s also a mirage.
Bart: Hey, Ned, what are you doing here?
Ned: Well, Bart, I like to come up here and look up at the stars to feel closer to God. Is that why you’re here?
Marge: Not exactly. We went to the desert park and then our car broke down, and then we walked through a strange man’s trash art garden…
Marge: …but he ran us off so we walked through the desert again and ended up at the Blazing Guy festival where Homer made it rain…
Marge: …and then everyone hated us again so we walked back into the desert as it got dark, and we thought we saw a casino but it was a mirage, and we drank cactus juice and fought cactus people, and then a bunch of desert chameleons led us up here.
Ned: Wow, that’s a humdinger of a stemwinder. Sounds like you all need a ride home.
Lisa: Can you give us one, Mr. Flanders?
Ned: For the Simpsons? Of course! Just as soon as I finish my prayer ritual.
Homer: How long does that take?
Ned: I should be done by dawn…
Homer: Dawn!?
Ned: …of next Tuesday.
Homer: Bart, you knock him down and I’ll grab his phone.
Ned: Oh, I don’t bring any electronics up here. The only communicating I do is with the Lord.
Homer: Can he call us a tow?
• Make Homer Be Grumpy About Being Rescued – 4 hours
• Make Ned Be Happy to Help – 4 hours
• Make Marge Look Forward to a Hot Bubble Bath – 4 hours
• Make Lisa Wonder About the Chameleons – 4 hours
Homer: Home at last. Hey, Flanders! What happened to my—uh, I mean your recliner?
Ned: That old thing? I found it smashed to pieces on your driveway and threw it out. I replaced it with one of those inflatable balls you sit on. It’s supposed to be good for your back.
Homer: Let’s see. *sits on the ball, POPS it, lands flat on the floor* No, my back feels much worse.
A quick note on Chameleons
When you complete the Outro leave your game running. It takes a little while for it to clean up any remaining tappable Chameleons, or you’ll be finding them months from now !!
You’ll then find the NPC Chameleons you can keep are now in with the event stuff in your Store if you wish to buy ’em.
Back tomorrow with that Chameleons post.
Such an easy game to play even if you are a new player, not rocket science tap tap and maybe look at the menus
What was after the first tap?
I am so smart. S-M-R-T.
Can’t get throw 3 acted character is not working same in the lasted part of simpsons tapped out
3 questions:
Which character(s) ?
Which tasks ?
Names of stuck quests ?
For example I have a very old problem …
Princess Opal
Read Tarot Cards
Moving in Hex Filled Circles part 3
Will Sprinkles return soon. I missed out and wanted him. Thanks for any help with this one.
Dunno about soon, but it’ll probably be back at some point.
Perhaps Black Friday in a couple of months – but only EA know for sure
Does anyone know whether Slots Casino has any character tasks? Many Thanks for any info.
Wait for the act 4 prizes post. I don’t think there’s any tasks but there could be.
Sorry, not been well, and I managed to lose my notes on the Chameleons !!
( Note to self: they’re in with the act 1 info )
These will be repeated in the Prizes post, as Onaros48 said, but …
Slot Canyon Slots
Agnes has an 8 hour job, Ditch Seymour For a Few Hours
Springfield Mesa
Ned has an 8 hour job, Relax In The Almighty’s Works
Thanks so much, Graham. 😎
Ned also has an 8 hour job at the devil’s oasis, and Apu has a 1 hour job at the texcon.
Is anyone else having a problem with characters not finishing their tasks? I have a bunch doing a 4 hour task at the mine but when I click to complete it they appear, get the cash, then automatically disappear with the option at the top left to “finish the task” again but when I tap there it takes me to the mine but no-one is working…..
You might have to store the mine and consider that 4-hour cycle a wash.
Nope, went very smooth and fast
Thank you Graham S. Couldn’t find any Gil deals, so I guess I’m a bit to late to grab that one! Cheers kiwikitty88
Hello, and thank you for the great work maintaining this site. A query; is there any way of getting the sculpture building that was a Gil offering? I got Delbert, but somehow missed seeing the offer of the building that allows him and other characters to make desert art sculptures. Would love to have it if there’s a way to still get it
Cheers from NZ , Karen Brown
Open your Store and use the back-arrow at the top left of that panel to back out of any sub-section until you see the event panel, and next to that should be the one for the Gil Deal as long as you went through the dialog.
Here’s an older version to give you an idea …

Can’t finish act 3 or 4 two characters willnt come up when you punch them in
Have a look at the Turbo Tappin posts, linked below, and let me know which parts, which tasks and which characters and I’ll see what I can figure out for you

I’m sorry if you’ve mentioned it before but where does the dog character come from? In summer of discontent characters there is a dog.
