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…..
Not much you may have missed this week around the Addicts Site. Oh, except:
So chat about the Simpsons, TSTO, end of the game, 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!
Any ideas why Weird Al and Alaska Nebraska weren’t rereleased? They’re the only two characters I’m missing from the start of game up to the 2022-24 content. Thanks 🤙
Has anyone gotten the Famous Milk Can so they can complete The Great Geriatrico Quest?
Open your Store and hit the Help button over the top right to open a ticket with EA Help, look for All Options > Missing Content and explain you got the Great Raymondo bundle but it was missing the Milk Can so you can’t complete the quest.
That’s best done during US business hours and look for a Live Chat option rather than email.
Include the following to help them understand what’s missing …
Missing item: FamousMilkCans
Item introduced: thoh2017_decorations, id 184504
Taps wave 3 store entry: GreatRaymondoGOB
Refers to: thoh2018_gameobjectbundles, id 207205
Can you screenshot the steps because EA changed it a bit. I don’t see an all options or missing content section.
Ok, I spoke with a rep and she told me they’ll work on the issue.
Hi all, every day I click on the game it has to download another 3000 mbs. Is that normal? Is anyone else having to do this daily also? Thanks
Say thanks to Apple for deleting files you need and go read the bit on constant updates here …

Taps Pt 4 is now out and everything featured aside from the Gamers of Games Sequel event is brand new to me since I originally uninstalled TSOT after that event. Won’t be rushing since there’s about 3 months left before the end. I’ll just do 5-7 characters/skins/etc. at a time.
On a side note, I finally got the Beloved Billionaires Club building.
Uh Oh… put something out from T4 and now I have the stupid unsexy l…a…g… while sending and completing tasks:( Any ideas?
Did it come with a Send Springfielders … task in the quest ?
If so get those done and it’ll sort itself – worth a Donut rush IMO
IIRC all the Taps pt.5 items will use a smaller Regular Springfielders group – but the older ones is a send all more or less, and they don’t half slow the game right down !!
( they also changed the Daily Challenges to use that, but the Youngsters group is still HUGE )
Hi all! Other than the golden goose realty, is there any other buildings / tasks that provide land?
Other than spending donuts to speed up creating land via GGR – is there any way to obtain land quickly?
Thanks in advance yall!
Buy it with in game cash
There’s 592 tiles you can only get with a Token.
If you need those in a hurry rushing the GGR with Donuts is the only option.
Is that different from the last land that was released, am sure I bought a lot of that land with in game currency?
Have a look at the before and after maps – and note all those red Ts ..

Taps Pt 5 was live for me earlier today. Grabbed a few items but now I am only seeing pts 1-4. Anyone experience this?
Only seeing pts 1-4 for me as of 05:02 ET. I grabbed everything I didn’t already have last night, and I *think* it was all pt. 4 but I’m not positive of that.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find I’d missed a *lot* more than I thought I had so there’s pleanty more for me to do! I’ve also used the unemployment office to send everybody on jobs for the first time in *years.* I probably won’t get to the last level, but I at least want to max out the Homerlays and get Maggie in the next couple months.
Pt. 4 was released yesterday.
Pt. 5 is due on the 22nd
I think that after pt.5 is released depending what’s new or what we are missing the game will be static, players may stop playing, would be great if the snow came at Christmas with an event to add some last Christmas cheer, wishful thinking but one last blast before the end.

Nice job! How did you do it?
Anyone know where the zombie sandwich would be stored in inventory? I’m positive it was in my inventory, but haven’t found it yet. Wanted to do one last Halloween-type play before the end.
Check behind buildings, should be in decorations
Does anyone know if there is a limit to the amount of donuts you can own like how there is for in game money as I’m currently sitting at just over 135,000 donuts.
Probably the same as cash. Why would you want more donuts?
Taps returning contents part 4 available, 4 new characters, some new building, lots of tasks to do, homer especially
I am enjoying the items we are getting weekly, especially as I now have all the Twerliggers..at last.
Here are some pictures of my town. I am getting close to the item limit again, which is approlriate as this has been a feature since 2014.
I’ve been kicked off Flickr and twitter so posting to Facebook.
Where exactly are people posting their pictures?

I have 680 characters and was wondering how many premium characters were released to buy?
I started a new account to try to run the game from the beginning, but when I try to buy the 1600 donuts with this account it costs 9600 donuts. Anyone see this? Is there an unlock I need to do?
I miss playing. I wish I could see my town as it was before the big mess that made me delete it one last time. You guys are what made the game fun, I wish everyone well. And i miss bunny.
As I was saying..?.thank you Graham…I want to remind people to rewatch the cutscenes by tapping the projector. Funny stuff…..which is your favorite?
And don’t forget to celebrate Indigenous Peoples day tomorrow…I looked everywhere to find a card, but no luck. It’s also National Pharmacists Month….I was going to get a card, but my insurance didn’t cover it….so I gave her a thumbs up. ….I won’t say where tho…..just kidding, it was at the Pharmacy….well the bathroom a5 the pharmacy…lol….gotta keep it hygienic y’all. Can you believe I made all that on the fly? !Treat Francisco San the, Roni A Rice
Happy Columbus day and Indigenous Peoples day!
(ps, its okay to celebrate both)
Not sure why anyone in the US would celebrate Columbus. He got lost and never got closer to the now United States than Cuba and he captured the indigenous people he found in the Bahamas, Haiti, etc., and brought them back to Spain as slaves. While he did do some pretty far out exploring that led to new trade routes, he really had nothing to do with US history, specifically.
the European discovery (for lack of better word) of lands was made popular by his travel. which led to crazy pilgrimage to the continent that created the USA. kind of a big deal. I’m not arguing politics here with blinded fools who have fallen for modern propaganda
👏✌️👏✌️👏✌️👏✌️💯
Whom are you calling a blinded fool? And do you generally believe the means justify the ends? Did the fact that Josef Megele’s horrendous experiments on concentration camp inmates on human tolerance for cold and hypothermia, that produced helpful data for the later US Air Force survival trials make him someone to celebrate? How about the Tuskegee syphilis experiments?
I repeat …
Now take a breath, relax, and let it go everyone !!
Because we wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Columbus? Like most people of all time he wasn’t a perfect person. By our times he had many flaws, even by his own time. Imagine if the Americas and the Old World did not connect until the Old World launched satellites. Maybe a Hitler like figure trying to take over the Americas. The natives would have no chance.
Maybe Kang and Kodos ?!?
Now take a breath, relax, and let it go everyone !!
Please explain how “we wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Columbus” when he never set foot in America? He wasn’t the first explorer to come this way, either. Viking explorers like Leif Eriksson are believed to have reached North America centuries before Columbus. And I’m not sure that the brutal colonization of the Americas by the Europeans should be considered a good thing, just because it turned out well for the Europeans.
I love my country, but that doesn’t mean I have to be proud of what it took to establish it at the expense of the indigenous people who were here for centuries before my ancestors arrived here.
And, FWIW, I’m 1/4 Italian, so I’m happy to celebrate Italian Heritage Day along with Indigenous People’s Day, without needing to celebrate someone who actually wasn’t a particularly good explorer, who believed he was reaching the Indies, a region that included India, China, Japan, and the Spice Islands, when he actually ended up in the Bahamas. That’s why he referred to the natives as “Indians.” 🙄
Hey Sandra, should we finally do the money mountain? Why not? Let’s do it together. – Sarah
I’m trying to remember why I was intentionally avoiding that one (besides enjoying having cutter little Bobo permanently showing in my task book)… I’d that the one that ends up upgrading the look of the IRS office, which then can’t go back to its more dilapidated skin? I know there’s a reason why I had been avoiding doing it…
But it does sound like fun to do something together! Let me look into that and get back to you…
Literally have EVERYTHING available in the game since playing from the start and could of played for another 12yrs. Would of paid a $999/yr subscription to keep the/my game alive…if EA asked (Skyfinger knows I buy more than that in donuts easily). I REALLY LOVE the design/building side…no point in playing anymore as what’s the point in building something that is going to crushed sooner than later. No point also being angry…EA have made their decision. Just really sad. Already looking for the next thing….hopefully for another 12 years 🙂
Not sure many people are wealthy enough to pay 1K a year to pay a mobile game, no matter how great it is. While I’m financially secure enough (at least for now), I’m a bit envious on anyone who has that kind of spare cash to throw around on something like that!
Completely agree ~ except I am still going on each day. By the way for those thinking of a puzzle..the image is very pixilated …some comments on the EA blog have asked for a high-res. option. AS in, couldn’t they at least give that to the thousands of TSTP loyal players? Have been playing for over 10 years…it’s not just any old game. Plus, what’s with doing this right before Halloween / Tree House of Terror ????
Started playing when it was first released. Not really playing since they announced it is ending. Very sad and disappointed🙁
Same. Started October 2014. A really good friend and co-worker passed one day from EA’s announcement. I’m trying to get in the holiday spirit for decorating my town for the last time but my heart just isn’t it.
Can anyone remember how we get ice tiles?
Can we make them, or where they only purchased?
They were to buy, and AFIK they’re not returning – sorry
I’ve been catching up on getting all the items, characters, etc. that I missed. However, anyone noticed any quirks about the 12-year run of TSTO?
I just got Hot Flash (an alter ego of Alice Glick) and TSOT treats Alice and Hot Flash as separate characters yet The Gambler (Grampa Abe’s superhero alter ego) is seen as an alternate skin for Grampa Abe instead of a separate character. If I recall, Alice came later in TSTO’s run but I still find it bizarre that Hot Flash wasn’t recoded into being an alternate skin for Alice.
Any other strange choices TSTO made during its run regarding character/skin choices? Still annoyed Maude Flanders never got her human form as an alternate skin. If the Crazy Cat Lady (an otherwise one-note character from Season 9) got an alternate skin (Christmas-related), no reason why Maude couldn’t get one.
With the game ending next year I am seeing how far I can reach before the shutters come down but one major downfall that they are no more people and stuff for 30 doughnuts. I was given the 200 doughnuts so I went to look to see what I could buy just to see everything back to its normal price and I could only afford one thing. Is there a way I can get more doughnuts to buy more stuff.
Donut farming is easy. Many examples posted here. I would turn on collider and use donuts to fast forward planet sculptures to increase % quickly.
Don’t you have in game cash? You can use that to buy donuts now.
Still tapping, reached a million donuts this week, done a mini Springfield in the new land area with monorail.
Things I want to complete:
Reach 2 billion in Springfield hights so far at 1,39b
Find the zirconia gem
Collect all splash screens
Planted the 90 day corn, haven’t done that before.
Look forward to taps 4 and 5 releases.
Have a good week all
What are people focusing on in their towns now that we have unlimited resources? I’m collecting gold tiles in my A town and grinding the Yellow Submarine to get Ornate Pier tiles in my B town.
Creating vids to view after ending. Here is my channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRPuoPVBt2Kwvft4jTdX5cg
I am missing a few of the purchase characters and hope to collect them through Taps pts 1-10 – Graham-S are those release dates published anywhere?? I’ll also do some redesign prior to 1/24/25!
