First up…Don’t forget our Spooky 2D Contest! Entries MUST be in by 11:59pm EST on Sunday 9/29/13. So you only have today and tomorrow left…so get those entries in!
-Last Sunday Nick kicked things off with a discussion about the Season 25 Premiere of The Simpsons “Homerland”. You can check out his post on it here
-Of course we can’t forget about the Season 25 Premiere Episode Tie-in update that was released this past Thursday. Don’t forget this event is LIMITED TIME so be sure to get your Three-Eyed Sushi while you can! We were all over this update, as always! You can find the complete walkthrough here, if you should spend donuts on the hi-glow waste barrels here and how the new items impact the conform-o-meter here.
-Wookiee also brought us back to Level 33 over the weekend and talked about his favorite quest with Eddie and Lou. Wookiee also brought us not one, but TWO late night revelations. First, he talked about what he’d like to see in the Halloween Event, while he dodged the clown. Then he discussed Three-Eyed sushi and poison, poison, tasty fish!
-Speaking of Halloween…EA surprised us all with a mini, Tuesday, update and let the cat out of the bag about the Halloween event (coming October 1st!). We were all over the Feeding the Trolls Quest, you can read about it here.
-On Monday we asked you what you’re looking forward to the most Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving or something else. Well the results are in and Halloween won overwhelmingly (79%), with Christmas in 2nd & Thanksgiving a distant 3rd. Also, we had a suggestion in the comment section about a Hanukkah update.
-Bunny had our 2D covered this week with her awesome Bumblebee Man how to. She also broke down why it’s not easy being green and why her 2D’s are green.
-Wookiee and Bunny broke down two Tapped Out Characters for us this week in Homer Simpson and Mr. Burns. Check out these Exxxxxxxceeellllent posts!
-A bunch of gaming questions were addressed this week too! We talked about easier neighbor management via the Origin download. We also looked at how to tell if a neighbor is inactive and when to delete them. We also addressed a how-to take screen shots for the most common phones and devices out there.
-We also completed the Conform-O-Meter posts and wrapped it all up with a neat little bow in the collected Conform-O-Meter post here
-Of course we had a great WAWW’s post this week all about Mansions in TSTO. Wookiee also gave us a bonus WAWW in What some Tapperinos want .
And as always we updated some of the TSTO Walkthroughs this past week. You can check out the Walkthrough page (which also got a face-lift) for help at ALL levels of Tapped Out!
It was a busy week here and looks like next week will be even busier! Mark your calendars Addicts….Sunday September 29th is the Season Premiere of the Simpsons and Tuesday October 1st will be the Halloween Event update! Addicts will have you covered every step of the way! We’ve got some new, fun things planned for the site so keep checking us out!
Have a great weekend everyone!
The Season Premiere of the Simpsons is coming THIS Sunday on Fox and to celebrate the start of the 25th year EA has given us a mini update. With the episode tie in update comes the Hi-Glow Waste Barrels, a limited-time premium decoration for your Springfield! Now I’m sure you’re asking yourself, ‘Should I spend donuts on this?’ Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the Hi-Glow Waste Barrels and if they’re worth your donuts:
Decoration: Hi-Glow Waste Barrels
Donut Price: 40 Donuts
Unique?: No
Bonus: 2%
Bonus % Per Donut Spent: 0.05%
Conform-O-Meter Points: Vanity +400
Where Can I Place It?: On the main (grass or pavement) sections of Springfield only. (No Squidport or beach)
Final Thought: At 40 donuts and a 2% bonus, it’s certainly not the worst investment you can make. While I have added them to my Springfield I do think the Hi-Glow Waste Barrels are a large & somewhat weird addition to TSTO. Although it makes perfect sense, since the town was blown up and all, but it’s just a weird object to try and place, at least in my opinion. Normally this is something I’d say pass on, since the concept of the decoration itself isn’t that great and for the donuts paid/bonus % awarded there are better items you can spend your donuts on that will make a little more sense in your town. However…this is a LIMITED TIME item. Once it’s gone it’s gone and you can never purchase it again, so be sure to take that into consideration when making your decision.
What do you think? Will you be picking up your Hi-Glow Waste Barrels before they’re gone? Let us know in the comments below.

Hi Everyone!
Hope you all enjoyed your Monday. I know there has been some buzz in the Tapped Out world today about the Halloween update with the mini “Feeding the Trolls” update (Wookiee was all over this update today, you can check their posts out here). The “Feeding the Trolls” update brought along a game files update. I’ve taken a peek at the game files and while their are no spoilers or hints about the Halloween update just yet, some info has been introduced about the Season Premiere Tie-in!
It looks like this Thursday (EA’s favorite update day), September 26th, Tappers will be seeing the Season 25 update. The update will include 2 new items that, I’m presuming, connect to the upcoming “Homerland” episode (airing this Sunday on FOX in the US). 1 of the items will be FREE, and it’s a decoration for your Squidport, and the other item (non-unique, so you can buy as many as your tapping finger desires…while supplies last of course!) will set you back 40 donuts. The free Squidport decoration will unlock at the end of the Special episode tie-in quest!
Of course as soon as the updates hit the Addicts team will have you covered with all of the details you’ll need to know! So mark your calendars this Thursday the Season 25 Premiere Episode tie-in update will happen and next Tuesday, according to the “Feed the Trolls” update, the Halloween event will begin!
In the meantime…be sure to finish up your 2D’s for our Spooky 2D Contest…where you can win FREE DONUTS! Check here for all the details on the contest and to enter!
Hi everyone! I know our friends at Topix posted about this same topic (although slightly different) last week and I guess great minds do think alike! Nick had sent us this post early last week and we decided to hold off on posting it until today (since the season premiere, in the US, is a week away). Hope you all enjoy his take on the Season 25 premiere and possible tie-in items!
Hello Fellow Addicts!
As an avid Simpsons Fanatic since I was, well, Bart’s age I look forward to September every year & no not because I enjoy school! September means 2 things to me 1) Football is back & 2) The Simpsons return! How can you not love a Sunday where your day starts with Football games & ends with The Simpsons?!
So, it looks as though the first episode (airs September 29th) of The Simpsons quarter-century season will be a parody of ‘Homeland’, and Kristen Wigg will be guest starring, as an FBI Agent (Annie)! From the previews I’ve seen it looks like it’s going to be a great episode. Take a look:
You can also find a video preview of Kristen Wigg’s guest star spot here: http://screencrush.com/the-simpsons-kristen-wiig-homeland-homerland/
But this is a blog about Tapped-Out & not just The Simpsons, so I’ve been thinking of some possible episode tie-in items that could be added to TSTO and here’s what I’ve come up with: Continue reading
