The Final Days of TSTO: Showing Off YOUR Towns Pt. 3

Posted on January 24, 2025 by | 13 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Back at it showing off more of YOUR TSTO Towns before the game is gone!  This is our final round of showoffs this way.  If you still want us to see your town and show it off on video, see the bottom of this post for details on how to do so.

Alissa was flying solo here once again, so join her as she takes one final look at YOUR Springfield…with less than 24hours to go until the game is gone forever! We’re showing off your towns, riding your monorails, and taking a look at how creative YOU are! We’ve got a lot of towns to get through, so please be patient with us!

In this video we take a look at towns from:
MalteseSav
matmullig508
MayorDurgut
Milesct
Mr_Mallen1
Mr-KeithRichards
ReeceMLeonard
Reesejacks86
Samiller0004
Sandrashill
SebiHoschi
spaceguruf1
springame
Sefan0713
tammyagnt
Tavarse67
The_B_Sharps79
Ti-ben306
UFGator89
Williamheard
WanderingCaveman

As mentioned in the video, if you send us a screen recording of 5 minutes or less of YOUR Springfield, we will put it together in a future video and talk about it. Send in your favorite areas, animations, whatever you think is awesome about your town and we’ll cover it.

The END May Be Sooner Than You Think!

Posted on January 23, 2025 by | 43 comments

Note from Alissa: Let’s not panic…yet.  There are in-game timers that indicate it’s not leaving today….this is as of 1:22pm ET

This means we have until 6pm ET TOMORROW, January 24th, before the timer runs out….

Reply from Patric-
Panic? Me Panic?  Hahah! So…an extra day (or half a day depending on where you are)…The Chart Works for Tomorrow, so it will be 3PM TOMORROW for me…Pacific Standard Time. PHEW!


If Graham is correct about the TSTO Servers going Dark at 23:00 UTC, Our Countdown may be incorrect…and it will all actually end for many…TODAY (as in TODAY, TODAY, the 24th)..

23:00 UTC is actually ahead of most of the United States by 6-10 hours.  You can search YOUR time here.

https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/utc-to-pst-converter

So…Gulp…If my math is correct…We here in the Pacific Time Zone may go Dark at 3PM this afternoon.

Here is a rough chart generated by that app…based upon Graham’s search of the files.

Take the afternoon off… visit your friends…do your screenshots and videos. THE SERVERS WAIT FOR NO MAN (or woman).

Using A Screen Recorder to Capture Your Town

Posted on January 21, 2025 by | 10 comments

So, yes…the panic is starting to settle in. We are down to the final, final days of being able to access our towns.

I already laid out a couple of “graphic/screen capture” ways to save the basic town. But there is a way to do a video recording of your town, that captures the movement, sounds, and music for posterity. And let’s face it…without the sounds and animations…it’s just a picture.

As a couple of members (thanks Charles and Sandra) have pointed out, if you are using an iPad/iPhone, there is a simple onboard tool to do your screen grab… Here’s the link to the How To!

If you want to use “RecordIt” – Follow Along…
