Should I Spend Donuts on the Coliseum?

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Alissa | 3 comments

Wondering if you should add the Coliseum to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button, lets break down the Pros and Cons of adding the Coliseum to your Springfield.

Building Name: Coliseum
Donut Price: 190 Donuts
Dimensions: 12×12
Payout: $200 & 22XP every 8hours
Return on Investment: $1.05/.116XP /Donut Spent
Pros:
-It unlocks Drederick Tatum, a premium character with his own tasks to earn income.
-Comes with a quest line for Tatum
-He has a tiger
Cons:
-Expensive Addition
-No 1 hour task
-Odd shaped building to place, and if your low on space it may not be the best time to purchase.
Final: This one is really a toss-up. If you have the extra donuts and want a new building and character I’d say go for it, but if you’re short on donuts save them for another building.

Building Name: Lugash’s Gym
Donut Price: 175 Donuts
Dimensions: 6×8

Should I Spend Donuts on the Open Air Stage?

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Alissa | 15 comments

Wondering if you should add the Open Air Stage to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button, lets break down the Pros and Cons of adding the stage to your Springfield.

Building Name: Open Air Stage
Donut Price: 160 Donuts
Dimensions: 8×8
Payout: Varies
Return on Investment: Varies
Much like Channel 6 and Cletus’s Farm the Open Air Stage does not regularly generate an income. Instead characters are required to put on a show in order to earn money. Here’s the break out of the tasks on Open Air Stage:

Task	Time	Character	Investment	Reward
Lisa’s Sax Solo	60m	Lisa	$25	$145/30XP
Krusty Standup	2hr	Krusty	$40	$240/ 45XP
The Be Sharps	3hr	Homer/Skinner Apu/Barney	$175	$1,055/245XP
Willie on the Pipes	4hr	Willie	$60	$350/ 80XP
The Skinner Sisters	10hr	Skinner/Agnes	$230	$1,385/ 300XP
Sideshow Opera	16hr	Sideshow Mel	$165	$990/ 220XP
Man Being Hit By Football: The Musical	24hr	Moleman	$220	$1,320/ 250XP

Final: If you’re going to regularly use the building to complete the tasks it’s not a bad overall investment. However, if you’re tight on donuts you may want to save them for now and use them towards a building that earns an income without having to pull a character off of another task.

Should I Spend Donuts on the Community Center?

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Alissa | 5 comments

Wondering if you should add the Community Center would make a good addition to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button, lets break down the Pros and Cons of adding the Center to your Springfield.

Building Name: Community Center
Donut Price: 150 Donuts
Dimensions: 6×9
Payout: $135 & 15XP every 4hours
Return on Investment: $0.90/.100XP/Donut Spent
Pros:
-It unlocks Jasper (and his paddle), premium character with his own tasks to earn income.
-Comes with a very funny quest line for Jasper, with several humorous outdoor tasks.
Cons:
-A little on the pricey side.
-The building is not used by any characters.
Final: I enjoyed adding this building to my town and love the addition of Jasper to the game. While it doesn’t bother me that the Community Center is not used, it may bother you. If you’d rather invest your donuts in a building that has use, and a good return for the cost, you may want to hold out on buying the Community Center for now.

Building Name: Frink’s Lab

Should I Spend Donuts on Krustylu Studios?

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Alissa | 1 comment

Wondering if you should add Krustylu Studios to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button, lets break down the Pros and Cons of adding Krusty’s Studio to your Springfield.

Building Name: Krustylu Studios
Donut Price: 140 Donuts
Dimensions: 10×12
Payout: $150 & 17XP every 5hours
Return on Investment: $1.07 & 0.121XP/Donut Spent
Pros:
-Comes with Sideshow Mel, a premium character with his own task line.
-Comes with a quest line for Sideshow Mel
-Not a bad return on donut investment
-Sideshow Mel has tasks in both Springfield and Krustyland
-Adds 10 points to your Obedience Rating
Cons:
-Only Sideshow Mel uses the studios
-You’ll need to purchase the cannon for an additional 20 donuts in order for all of Sideshow Mel’s task to be unlocked.
-It’s a large building, and can be difficult to place.

Final: Although it’s a little expensive, I personally think it’s worth the investment. You unlock a whole new character for the game and can generate income that much faster.

Should I Spend Donuts on the Film Set?

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Alissa | 4 comments

Wondering if you should add the Film Set to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button, lets break down the Pros and Cons of adding the film set to your Springfield.

Building Name: Film Set
Donut Price: 120 Donuts
Dimensions: 8×10
Payout: $350 & 26XP every 16hours
Return on Investment: $2.92 & 0.217XP/Donut Spent
Pros:
-Comes with a McBain Costume for Wolfcastle
-Unlocks a McBain Quest line
-McBain animations are some of the best in the game
Cons:
-It is an expensive addition to your town for a building only 1 character can use
-Cannot be sold. Once you purchase it, it’s yours forever.
Final: The only reasons not to buy this addition is if donuts are limited, or you’re against violence. This is one of the best premium items you can purchase in the game, in my opinion, and has some of the best animations to date for TSTO.

Should I Spend Donuts on the School Bus?

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Alissa | 1 comment

Wondering if you should add the School Bus to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button, lets break down the Pros and Cons of adding the bus to your Springfield.

Building Name: School Bus
Donut Price: 120 Donuts
Dimensions: 8×8
Payout: $300 & 30XP every 12hours
Return on Investment: $2.50 & 0.250XP/Donut Spent
Pros:
-Comes with a character, Otto
-The most affordable character/building combo
-Comes with a quest line
-Otto is the only character to use King Toot’s regularly
-Improves your Indolence Rating by 10 points.
-Completes the School Workers Character Set
-It’s a school bus to go with the school
-Otto comes with his own set of tasks, so in addition to the bus earning money Otto will earn as well.
-One of the few premium characters to have crossover tasks in Krustyland
Cons:
-Otto uses illegal substances in the game, and depending on your views you may want to pass on him
-He doesn’t interact with any other characters
Final: There really are very few reasons not to buy the School Bus and Otto. For the price and the combo of a building that generates income and a premium character that generates money you really can’t go wrong with this one.

Should I Spend Donuts on Lard Lad Donuts?

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Alissa | 12 comments

Wondering if you should add Lard Lad’s to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button, lets break down the Pros and Cons of adding the donut shop to your Springfield.

Building Name: Lard Lard Donuts
Donut Price: 110 Donuts
Dimensions: 10×11
Payout: $125 & 13XP every 4hours
Return on Investment: $1.14 & 0.118XP/Donut Spent
Pros:
-Unlocks a 5 minute task for Homer, Wiggum, and Comic Book Guy
-Improves your Gluttony rating by 10 points.
-Adds variety to your Springfield’s restaurant choices
Cons:
-No animation
-A bit pricey for only 3 characters to use for 5 minutes without animation
Final: If you’re looking for ways to boost your Gluttony rating this is a good addition to have. However, if donuts are tight and if you already have a decent Gluttony rating you may want to save your donuts for a building that comes with more.
