Springfield Showoff: Forgotten Krustyland

As we sit here frakkin files, pulling pics, and typing a million words a minute to get our readers the latest updates and information…we find ourselves sometimes forgetting to stop and enjoy our own games. More so our neighboreenos. So we try to make it a point to hop in n out of the towns now and then to see what cool things YOU are up to. So we have decided we want to continue to focus more attention (as if we don’t already šŸ˜› ) on YOU…our readers. Time to time we will be peaking into your towns, checking our Flickr, and also the posts in the comments below to see what cool ideas and designs YOU have come up with to make your towns unique and…well…YOU. So here is YOUR chance to show off all your hard work, time, donuts & in game cash spent. Send us your work, no matter how big or small. Brag about it to the world. We want you to. (That and Bunny loves to see other designs and get inspiration from it.) Then keep your eyes posted to Addicts to see if YOU end up on ourĀ “SPRINGFIELD SHOWOFF”. Showoff krustyland Continue reading

The Toxic Shark 2D

Wow, it has been a bit of time since my itchy lil tappin fingers have stopped long enough to create something new. Just having to much fun frakkin files, writing stories, and messing around in the Twitterverse that I got too distracted.

Well I think it is high time I got around to a project that has been on my mind for quite a few months now.

A great reader of all things Addicts and also friend over TOuk, toxicshark, took the time to create some really amusing “locations” with his graphics programs for us Addicts. They cracked me up a lot. As a nod back to him, I wanted to create a Shark for him. Sadly, the mist engulfed our towns…then the snow. So it was quite difficult to play around with my 2D art the way I wanted. Nothing looked quite right.

Where Did THAT Come From – The Lemon Tree

Hey hey hey! Ā Wookiee back with another WDTCF for your enjoyment. Ā I still have a broken game but that’s not gonna stop me from writing for my favorite readers. Ā Things can’t always go your way and you know what they say…

“When life gives ya lemons, make lemonade.”

How many times have you heard this ridiculous saying? Ā Who they heck are THEY anyways? Ā Just today, my teenage Ewok came home and told me this. Ā She didn’t have an answer for me when I asked what to do when life gives me poop. Ah teenagers, they think they’re so wise.

Anywho… I find inspiration in so many little things and decided it was time to do a WDTCF for the Lemon Tree in our TSTO towns.

Where did THOSE come from – The Lady Justices

Wookiee back again, check the blog and wreck it, Addicts let’s begin…

Whoa there…. Whoa there… sorry about that folks.Ā  Sometimes my imagination horse has a mind of its own.Ā  All this legal stuff in TSTO has me checking my rearview mirror way too much and making sure all is in order in my town.Ā  Wouldn’t want Wiggum, Eddie or Lou to be able to catch me on a technicality while I loitered outside Lard Lads, right?

For today’s WDTCF, I thought it’d be cool to dish on not only the NEW Lady Justice Statue we just got but also to include the Little Lady Justice statue from Level 33. Ā I like to think they’re sisters.

What Happens to My Limited Time Items When the Event is Over?

From time to time EA will release Limited Time Event items to coincide with an upcoming holiday or Simpsons episode. Once the event is over the items disappear from the store, and if you didn’t act when you had the chance odds are you’ll never be able to get the items again. But, what happens when the event is over? You purchased the items but do they stay in your Springfield? Is it safe to put them in your inventory? After all, no matter how funny it may be, you may not want a melted snowman on your beachfront in August.

Well, the good news is the items you collect during a limited time event are all yours to keep- forever. So you can put the snowman in inventory or, have a good laugh and, keep it on display all year long. The choice is all yours!

What Tree-Hugging Lisa Wants… More Nature!

So… as a 2D artisan, I am always wanting more nature decorations for a better color pallete for my designs.Ā  With the help of Lisa Simpson, I have analyzed some images from her home videos to show some decorations that could be added in the game.

I Can Use Donuts to Buy Game Money, Why Can’t I Use Game Money to Buy Donuts?

Update 9/29/16….Since writing this post there are now ways added to the game where you can technically use in-game cash to “buy” donuts. Check out this post to learn more about XP and Donut Farming.

There’s no clear cut answer to that only theories but TSTO is a ā€œfreemiumā€ game, which means that you can play the game for free and still have it be very enjoyable but there are also premium content additions that can take the game to another level. And if you want that premium content you have to pay for it.
It’s also doubtful that there will ever be an option to turn game money into donuts. EA is a business, businesses need to make money in order to pay salaries. The income from the donut purchases are what go into creating new levels and content for the game.

Keep in mind though they may still do a promotion where you can convert another type of game currency you earn into donuts, like they did last Christmas with Santa Coins.

Remember: Donut Purchases=new contentĀ 

Free Donuts: Everybody wants em’ but how do I get em’:

Update 9/29/2016….Since the writing of this post there have been LOADS of ways to add free donuts to your game from within the game. Ā Here are some quick ways to add them, with the breakdowns of how:
Click the links for more details

Where’s Maggie Game, Maggie will unlock for youĀ at Level 26 with theĀ Play-Annoyed Grunt questline. Ā You’ll have a shot at 1,2 or 3 free donuts after you find Maggie 3 times. Ā Game resets every 16hrs.

Daily Challenges. Each day you’ll be given a challenge to complete, frequently these challenges award free donuts!

Rail Yard. Ā The Monorail will unlock for you once you’ve reached Level 20. Ā Each week at the Monorail you’ll be able to earn tracks and other prizes..and the fifth prize (with the exception of a couple of times) will award free donuts! (typically five free donuts. Ā But some of the initial rounds will award 20 free donuts)

XP/Donut Farming. This is a method of building/placing some items in your game to build up your XP quickly and level up rapidly. Ā Each time you level up you’ll be awarded at least 1 free donut! This method usually involves turning on the XP Collider.

Friend Visits. After you’ve unlocked all of the social prizes there’s a chance to earn donuts from tapping in a neighbor’s town.

-There’s also often opportunities to earn free donuts during various events.

-Oh and one thing I forgot to mention in the post below is the 10 free donuts from the Easter Egg in the Jeb StatueEaster Egg in the Jeb Statue
ā€œThere’s got to be a way to get free donuts!ā€ Well, unfortunately, because the fried deliciousness treat is the premium content for the game (i.e. the only thing in the game that costs real world cash money) freebies don’t come easy.Ā And anyone who tells you they can get you donuts for free (or discounted) is most likely using a hacked version of the game…

-First and foremost sign up for an origin account…you get 2 FREE donuts just for creating an account.

-The best way to get donuts is by leveling up in the game. So far every level increase comes with a bit of sarcastic humor andĀ free donuts. From levels 1-7 you receive a 1 donut bonus for leveling up and once you hit level 8 2 donut bonuses for leveling up start to appearĀ but you don’t get 2 donuts for every level.

Here’s the breakdown (as of the Krustyland Update, levels 1-32):
Levels 1-7, 9-10, 12, 14-16, 18-19, 21-23, 25-26, 28-30 & 32 all have a 1 donut bonus for leveling up
Levels 8, 11, 13, 17, 20, 24, 27 & 31 all have a 2 donut bonus for leveling up.

So that’s 40 donuts right there, just for leveling up! That’s pretty easy right?

-There is also a 3 donut bonus once you complete all of the level 30 quests, a little present from EA since the level 30 update was not exactly their best.

-If you haven’t already done so, do the Jebediah Springfield Statue bonus (see the ā€œI saw _______ in my neighbor’s town, but I can’t figure out how to add it to mineā€ post for details in how to complete it). That little trick comes with 10 free donuts, plus you get a free statue of Jebediah Springfield for your town!

So we’re at a total of 55 donuts guaranteed in this game, JUST FOR PLAYING, not too bad.Ā 

There are some other ways to get donuts in this game, but the quantities are not guaranteed:
-You usually find a few donuts when you clean up your Springfield. Personally, I’ve found a total of 8 donuts while doing this but it does take a while.

-Sometimes EA will run a promotion that comes with free donuts (they did this at Christmas and Halloween). So be on the lookout for those!

-In Krustyland you earn 5 donuts for every 299 games of Sideshow You that you play…playing this game perfectly every 8 hours would result in 5 donuts every 100 days.

-Bonus Level Up, between 1-3 donuts. Bonus level appears when you’ve maxed out available levels and you continue to fill you XP bar. More details on this later.

Aside from going behind a bakery when they close to dig out the donuts that have been trashed for the day, those are all the, non-hacked, free ways (that I know of) to get donuts.

How Do I Get the Lemon Tree?

Not to sour you on the topic (haha) but the lemon tree can ONLY be won in the Mystery Box.Ā (Please know that anyone who claims they can get you a lemon tree can only achieve this by a hack)Ā 

The sweet thing about the lemon tree is it’s another item that provides cash for your town! Every 6 hours the game hands you a basket of lemons and when you click on them they turn to cash!

When the game first came outĀ if you saw a lemon tree in a friends’ town you could steal it from them and plant it in your Springfield. Then, after 24 hours any of your friends could steal it from you!

However, with the October 2012 update the ability to steal the lemon tree was disabled. Ā EA describes this as a glitch and say that they hope to get this ability restored in the future.

Have you been lucky enough to get the elusive Lemon Tree?
