Where Did THAT Come From – Gorgeous Grampa

Posted on July 29, 2014 by The Wookiee | 3 comments

Oi Oi Oi!

How are all my favorite readers doing? Wookiee back from a little life-enforced hiatus to do what I do with some WDTCF action. I know these may not be everyone’s “cup of tea”, but I relish any opportunity to dish a bit on the origins of our stuff in TSTO. For this edition, I thought it’d be fun to talk about one of the premium character skins from this year’s yard sale… Gorgeous Grampa. If these posts are your bag, click more and we’ll be on our way.

Where Did THAT Come From – Ninja Homer

Posted on July 28, 2014 by The Wookiee | 5 comments

You know, I was driving home today and saw a ton of signs for yard sales and my first thought was… I bet they don’t have Portland-inspired buildings, old men in wigs, ninjas and half naked Scotsmen. Does that mean I have a TSTO problem?

Anywho… Wookiee back with another WDTCF courtesy of the re-released stuff EA decided to offer again. My opinions may be mixed on everything being premium but it still doesn’t stop me from getting to talk about origins. For this round, I had to cover Ninja Homer because who doesn’t love a ninja?

Turbo Tappin’ Premium Stuff: 2014 Yard Sale

Posted on July 25, 2014 by Alissa | 21 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

We’ve almost reached the final week of the 2014 Yard Sale and soon all those Limited-Time items will disappear once again! So don’t forget you have until August 4th to make your final purchases & then they’re gone! Looking for a little guidance on what to get, or if you should get anything? We’ve got a bunch of Should I Buy Posts for you here…

All Things Mayan
Yard Sale Skins
Yard Sale Buildings
Yard Sale Decorations
Cool Brown House & Cool Homer
Fr. Sean

The neat thing about many of these items is that they come with a questline…or at least some mini dialogue. I know many of you have been asking about these questlines & just what’s involved. And since there’s no time like the present, let’s break them all down for you now.

The Yard Sale and the Conform-O-Meter

Posted on July 23, 2014 by Alissa | Leave a comment

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s Yard Sale time in Springfield! What was old is once new again! So just how do all those new/old items impact the Conform-O-Meter? As we’re approaching the halfway mark of the event, I thought now would be a good time to take a look at how all of these items impact the Conform-O-Meter ratings.

The Conform-O-Meter is an important part of Tapped-Out because it provides you with a bonus boost in your cash and XP from everything you collect in the game. When you achieve a 5-Star Town (it’s max rating) you will receive a 5% bonus on all money and XP collected in your town. If you missed the previous Conform-O-Meter posts check here for the basics and here for how many points you’ll need to reach 5 stars.

While the Yard Sale brought no changes to the Conform-O-Meter requirements (Level 42 did though!), it did bring a bunch of old items back into Springfield. Let’s take a look at how these TSTO Classic items impact the conform-o-meter:

Item	Cost	Category	Points
Ultra House 2	90 Donuts	Indolence	10
Cool Brown House	120 Donuts	Indolence	10
Mayan Calendar	300 Donuts (Combo)	Vanity	100
Practice Snake	75 Donuts	Vanity	100
Mr. Sparkle Billboard	30 Donuts	Consumerism	10
Ice God	30 Donuts	Vanity	10

*Helter Shelter does not impact the conform-o-meter

So there you have it my friends! The complete rundown of how all of the Yard Sale Goodies impact the Conform-O-Meter. Lots of new-old decorations/buildings to improve your ratings all around!

How’s your Conform-O-Meter doing? Are you maxed out? Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!
