Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Wow, you all had a lot to say about getting the chance to play TSTO again! It’s clear that we all miss our beloved pocket-sized towns. With the exciting news that The Simpsons has been renewed for another 4 years and the rumor of a new LEGO Krusty Burger release this summer, it’s safe to say the appetite for our favorite yellow family is still going strong!
So here’s the deal: I’m on it! The team behind the private server is hard at work fixing bugs and making it compatible with iOS. Right now, there’s an APK version available for Android, and I’m planning to test it out on BlueStacks. I won’t share anything with you until I’ve tested it myself—I want to make sure it’s good to go for all of you.
In the meantime, rest assured it’s in the works. Hopefully, I’ll be able to share detailed instructions with you all soon so we can bring our towns back to life.
Quick note: When I refer to the “private server” here, I’m talking about a server not run by EA. This will be hosted on an alternative server, so you won’t need to download it to your computer. You’ll be able to play it just like you did before, with no extra hassle.
And for those of you asking—yes, it is possible to restore your original town, even if you didn’t save it before the game was taken off EA’s servers. You can visit https://towns.spanser.dev/, which has a massive list of over 3 million TSTO towns. Search for your username, and if your town is listed, you can download the save files. Once that’s done, you’ll be able to upload your game to the private server version.
So check to see if your town is available and stay tuned for more updates!
