This will be 1…1 annoying post…Blah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha….
Count Burns and his coffin are just a few more items in this goodie smorgasbord trick or treat bag EA is shoving down our sugary craved throats. So here is yet another…YES MORE…tie in to exactly where on earth they came from in the series. (Can anyone tell me which dog to bet on in the races next? I could really use that $200,000 bout now. NO?! FINE!! SEE IF I TELL YOU ANYMORE STORIES…JUST SEE…CLICK READ MORE!! I DARE YOU!!)
Hey there Ghostbusters! Which one are you? I always was partial to Dr. Egon Spengler.
Anywho… every other friday I get a soap box to tell you what I think should be added to the game and for the first time in quite a while, I find myself sated.
What’s that you say? How can I have nothing that I want? Well, I’ll tell you if you really want to know.
“The worst thing that ever happened to me was on Christmas. Oh, God. It was so horrible. It was Christmas Eve. I was 9 years old. Me and Mom were decorating the tree, waiting for Dad to come home from work. A couple hours went by. Dad wasn’t home. So Mom called the office. No answer. Christmas Day came and went, and still nothing. So the police began a search. Four or five days went by. Neither one of us could eat or sleep. Everything was falling apart. It was snowing outside. The house was freezing, so I went to try to light up the fire. That’s when I noticed the smell. The firemen came and broke through the chimney top. And me and Mom were expecting them to pull out a dead cat or a bird. And instead they pulled out my father. He was dressed in a Santa Claus suit. He’d been climbing down the chimney… his arms loaded with presents. He was gonna surprise us. He slipped and broke his neck. He died instantly. And that’s how I found out there was no XXXXX XXXXX.” ~ Gremlins, 1984
Ok… that’s not a real story from my life but in my Springfield, it is always Christmas lol. I blocked those last two words just in case any of y’all have tiny tapper buddies. So… I’ve been slacking lately on doing 2D with all the Halloween shenanigans to mess with, but today I decided to get off my DUFF and make some art.
A little while back, one of my buddies over at Tapped-Out.co.uk. did me a favor and I promised him a 2D just for him. I planned on doing a Simpsons Gremlin for Otto Mann (aka Chris J.) to ram his bus in to but found out this was already done by another one of my 2D peeps. Well, what to do now? The other Gremlins are too scary for TSTO, right? Well, I went out on the internet and found a pretty great image I wanted to do.

Hey howdy hey Tappers!
We’ve been noticing a few questions popping up in the comments of some posts and, while we try to answer each one individually, we thought everyone could benefit from the answers to these questions. So it’s time for another addition of Addicts Question Corner….
First, just a quick recap of where you should, at least, be at this point in the game in order to stay on track to earn all 10 personal GOO prizes by November 7th. According to Bunny’s GOO Calender you should be averaging about 300 GOO per day and by the end of the day today (October 9th) you should have approx 2,440 GOO canisters (or more) to stay on track for 10,000 GOO by November 7th!
Also, as a community we’re currently sitting at nearly 5,800,000,000…at this rate we should be collecting the next community GOO prize next week about this time! First Church of Lard Lad was dropped into towns yesterday morning, you can find more info on that here.
Now onto the questions…. Continue reading

I am sure by now you have noticed we DID hit that 5 billion community mark. Everyone should be seeing the messages now that they have The First Church of Lard Lad in their inventory. (Note: If you don’t see the First Church of Lard Lad pop up immediately after you sign into your game, this happened to Alissa, just collect some more GOO. It will pop up shortly thereafter)
There was a lot of discussion that this item may end up being just a skin. Here at Addicts we didn’t think so, as not everyone purchases premium items (plus we peeked at the game files :)). So, I am happy to report EA released yet another FREE item to everyone for their town. The great thing is the Church will also provide you a payout of $90 and 10 XP every 4 hours, which definitely is a plus.

Homie?

Yes I know these are glitch pics before the game kicks you off but I like to think of them as Homie reaching out from the other side. Are you there Homer?????
D’oh!
Sometimes TSTO gives us humorous little moments when we capture our characters doing rather strange things. These posts are all about those strange and funny moments! Once a week we’ll be posting a Caption This! moment where we want you, the Addicts readers, to put on your writing caps and come up with what you think is happening in the screenshot. Post your captions in the comments below. We can’t wait to see how creative and funny you guys can be!
Hey Addicts… Caption This!
If you’ve got an image you’d like to submit for a “Caption this!” post, email it to us at TSTOAddicts@gmail.com!
Hey Addicterinos…
In one of my last posts, Barbsinbox asked for pics of the tombstones from the opening screen. Although I am nowhere near as savvy with pics like the other amazing authors on Team Awesome Sauce aka TSTO Addicts, I figured I’d try.
So here’s the tombstones you see on the opening screen a la older Treehouse of Horror Specials…
I tried to zoom in on each tombstone to make them easier to read. If you click on the next picture, it’ll open bigger on your browser.
If you still can’t read them, here’s what they say in no particular order:
FAT IN THE HAT QUESTS
Some of you may know that this is one of the segments from the TOH Episode premiering tonight. Obviously EA floated the idea of doing these and then shot them down.
CONSOLE GAMING
With the success of freemium gaming on “smart” phones and tablets added to the profit margin for EA, it may be very true that console gaming may start playing canasta with Atari and the NES.
LAST YEAR’S HALLOWEEN CANDY
A poke at the game currency from Halloween 2012. Seems EA thought they had a MORE GOO idea.
LIFE IN HELL
Matt Groening’s original comic strip pre-Simpsons. If you’ve never seen it, check it out. Very cool stuff and who doesn’t love a one eared Bunny?
BIPARTISANSHIP
Gotta love any political satire from the Simpsons writers. To keep from upsetting any one over politics, I suggest searching this term on your engine of choice and hopefully laughing at the appropriateness of this statement considering when the update was released.
Well, hope everyone is enjoying the heck out of the event. Y’all stay classy, ghostbust the Jeebus out of all the towns and keep tapa-tapa-tapping away. Wookiee out!
To the Hominid Readers of Addicts,
King Snorky here. Over the last month, a certain “Star Wars Fan” who calls himself “The Wookiee” has been blabbering away about my introduction into some sort of game called “The Simpsons Tapped Out”. As a peaceable sort of fellow, I let this galoof run his silly mouth and even had myself a chuckle at his meager attempt to immortalize me using strange objects. Although I don’t get using garbage bins to replicate my majesty, at least the poor brute tried.
So… EA has given us so many goodies this Halloween. Included in this is The Ghost of Maude Flanders FOR FREE! Now that’s spooky! If you want to see the walkthrough stuff for Maude, click here. This post is about where the heck this character comes from.
