Should I Spend Donuts CJ Pro Bidder and the Springfield Storage Locker?

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Gather ’round the tapping device everyone, it’s update time in TSTO! And there’s nothing like the holidays to bring a little crazy to our pocket-sized towns! As the latest mini-event in TSTO hit our towns recently…this time to celebrate Thanksgiving.  Or more specifically Black Friday!  Of course, an all-new event means all-new premium content in our stores, just tempting us to drop those pink sprinkles!

As we all know, that limited-time label can tempt us to grab everything in sight because it’ll be gone soon.  But don’t sweat it!  That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.

Wondering if you should add CJ Pro Bidder and the Springfield Storage Locker to your Springfield?  Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this Storage Wars combo to your town…

Turbo Tappin’ All American Auction (Thanksgiving 2019): Main Questline and Prizes

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Nothing like the holidays to bring a little crazy to our pocket-sized towns!  As the latest mini-event in TSTO hit our towns recently…this time to celebrate Thanksgiving.  Or more specifically Black Friday! At least this one is seasonally appropriate…and should bring us nicely into Christmas!

Of course, as with all events, a questline comes with it to help move us through the ins and outs of the event…and unlock all of the prizes.  As was mentioned on the rundown post this mini-event is your typical standard mini-event (with a couple of twists).  Follow the questline to unlock prizes and call it a day…until the next event.

So let’s take a look at the questline to see just how to unlock all-new prizes…

Black Friday 2019 Mystery Box Round-Up (Creatures to Men)

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

As promised in the rundown post, here’s the list of what’s inside each Mystery Box.  Also noted are if the items are in the Yearbook Box or if they’re duplicated in another box for a lower cost.

There’s A LOT of details in the post, so I’m just going to get right to it…

(Also, there was no simple way to do this on my end, so this post took a TON of time to put together.  So, please don’t expect/demand I write a post like this for every single mystery box that hits the game in the future.)

All American Auction (Thanksgiving 2019) is Live! (Updated and Complete)

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

The latest mini-event in TSTO is live…All American Auction!

Note: I screwed up on the time guys, sorry.  No excuse, other than my brain just didn’t think correctly.  They did not update the UTC time to account for Daylight Savings ending.  Sorry for the misinformation.

Use this post to discuss the mini-event for right now.  I’m currently at the drs with the Tiny Addict…the originator of the head cold.  So once I get back I’ll add the details on this post…

Ok, back from the doctors.  Post is updated below with A LOT of info. Take your time, read it thoroughly so you don’t miss anything…

Thanks guys!

Things kick off with a 6s task for Quimby.  After which you’ll roll right into the main questline…

Springfield Showoff: THOH XXX

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 sometimes find ourselves 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 😛 ) 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 and brag about it to the world. We want you to! Then keep your eyes posted to Addicts to see if YOU end up on our “SPRINGFIELD SHOWOFF”.

App Store Update- Thanksgiving 2019

Updates below the fold

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Rolling out this evening is an App Store update for Thanksgiving 2019.  The update is going live in App Stores (confirmation for Google and Amazon, Pat said it’s not showing up in iOS just yet iOS as well), but it is NOT live in-game yet.

I’m in the process of pulling files and images on this, but my hunch is it’ll go live tomorrow morning around 10am.

It’s important to note that downloading this update will NOT remove THOH content from your game.  Those items are still set via timer.  So you’ll have until tomorrow to make purchases, even if you’ve downloaded the update.

Here are a few images of what’s to come with the update…

THOH XXX Prize Guide: Act 4, Prize 5 Lucy Fer Sa’tan

Note: I’m reposting this so the Permalink is correct.  Sorry guys, battling a head cold these last 24hrs and apparently you shouldn’t mix Nyquil and blogging… 😳

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Finally…the last day of the 2019 Treehouse of Horrors event!  Man it’s been a long four weeks…

Anyway…back to the prizes at hand…

THOH XXX follows the same event structure of the Multi-Events before it.  This event consists of 4 parts (or Acts), with each part lasting a week and taking us through a new part of the event!

For…the final week (!!!), we’re following the exciting conclusion of THOH XXX.  Will Bart and Lisa get their souls back, will Zia conquer Kodos and Kang, will Marge save humanity with Mayonaise?  We’ll have to read along to fund out.  But, all of the prizes unlocked during week 4 play a role in that storyline.

So let’s take a look at the final 2019 Treehouse of Horror Event prize…the Alien Devil himself…Lucy Fer Sa’tan…

THOH XXX is Nearing the End…

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Just a reminder that the Treehouse of Horror XXX Event Ends TOMORROW November 20th. 

It’s about time Halloween finally left Springfield…we’re only about a week away from Thanksgiving…

As far as questlines go, what’s happened in the past is that the current prize you’re working on (on any questline) you were able to finish.  Once that current prize was completed then the questline disappeared.  

This means that you will want to make that final push to gather up all the things you want from the Event before it goes with the Event.
