YeeHaw, The Wild West is Live!

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

The Wild, Wild West is alive and well in our pocket-sized Springfields!

2016-04-19 15.46.51

Loads and loads of stuff with this event…and it’ll last until late May.  So TAKE YOUR TIME and Don’t Panic!

2016-04-19 15.44.45

It’s live on Android and Kindle.  If you don’t see it in your update list try directly searching the App, that’s what I had to do.  

As always I’ll be back with more as soon as I play through a bit of it…for now know that it starts off with a 6s task for Lisa followed by a task to build the Town Plaza (Free, also takes 6s).  This is then followed by 6s tasks for Apu and 3 Springfielders…Then you’ll need Homer free to start the next part (everything else Auto starts)..followed by more 6s tasks lol.   Then you’ll have to build the General Store (also free), and the event itself will start up for you…

Also EA made a BUNCH of improvements to the game…we’ll cover those below as I uncover them myself… Continue reading

Add Friends for Gold Prospects!

This thread was getting quite full, and with an all new event we’ve launched a new Add Friends feed.  You can check that out here.  Comments on this thread have now been disabled. 

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

The Wild West Event has hit our Springfields!  And with it arrives all new neighbor actions!  Of course a new event means, it’s time for an all new Add Friends feed!

So now…hit up this post with your Origin ID’s and Add Me Requests!  Who wants to be first?

Pssssst….If you’re looking for a thread to find neighbor-eenos who WON’T vandalize you check out this Add-Me page…now Graffiti free! 🙂

And remember…if you’re looking for ways you can THANK your neighbors for visiting, tell them you LOVE their designs…or even yell at them for stealing your designs…you can hit up our THANK YOU Thread!  The only place in the TSTO-verse where you can freely Thank and Admire your TSTO Friends and Neighbors!

So now it’s time to send those Prospectors to your Neighbors…and let the Gold Rush commence!

Happy Tapping!

Add Friends- Vandalism Free

This thread was getting quite long so we’ve added a new one here.  Comments on this one are now disabled. 

Remember this post is for those who won’t vandalize each other…if you’re looking for the regular Add Me Page you can find it here

See the notes below about treating each other with respect on this thread.  If we continue to see the disturbing trend we’re seeing of attacking others over vandalism this will be the last non-vandalism thread we do.  And comments here will be cut off.  Treat each other with respect.  Just because players don’t like to be vandalized doesn’t mean they’re playing the game wrong.  Everyone has the right to play TSTO the way they want to, DO NOT disrespect each other because if it.

Also, accidents happen.  Just because someone tags you doesn’t mean it was on purpose and doesn’t give you the right to attack them.  Again, treat each other with respect or this thread will be shutdown and not replaced.  Thank you. 

Well…it’s that time.  The old vandalism thread was getting quite full & it’s time to start fresh once again!

Do you hate getting graffiti in your Springfield?  Are you tired of cleaning up after other people’s fun, at your expense?  Are you someone that NEVER Vandalizes other towns?  Are you super concerned about your Righteousness rating…no matter how many Training Walls you build?  Well this is the Add Friends Thread for You!

Now before we get started, there is something we must go over… Continue reading

From the Mouths of Addicts: Bonuts!

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Welcome to another edition of From the Mouths of Addicts, where YOU get to sound off on anything and everything in the world of Tapped Out!  This week’s post comes to us from Addicts reader, Doc.

Doc reached out to us recently via email with an idea for a post on a one-stop guide on how to earn bonuts since there are so many different methods now.  It’s always great to have all of this information in one place, so naturally I thought it would be great to get this up on the site!

So without further ado, here’s Doc with his Bonut post! (Bonut = Bonus donuts for those who don’t already know)  Enjoy 🙂

I thought it might be helpful to some if there was a one-stop guide on how to earn bonuts in our favorite, most additive game. If you are an avid freemium player, like me, you covet the opportunity to earn bonuts whenever you can. I will list each method, and give you a breakdown of how much you can get in a month.

Where Did THAT Come From: Street Cleaner

In our silly lil game, we sometimes see things pop in that we have no clue as to their Origin. They seem familiar, but we just can’t pinpoint from where. That is why we decided to make a fun lil reminder out of it. To let you know just Where did THAT Come From?

EA’s Facebook Teaser

UPDATE: Another teaser from EA was just released via Facebook…

20160418_171349

Have fun speculating..

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

So not sure if many of you saw the teaser released on EA’s TSTO Facebook page yesterday..it was Sunday after all I know I missed it until late yesterday because I was too busy enjoying the beautiful weather! 😉  But…they released another teaser for the upcoming update…

2016-04-18 12.26.55

Notice that it says we’ll be getting DIRT tiles!  (FINALLY!!!)  And take another look at the O in Tapped Out.  Instead of the usual finger print, it’s been replaced by what looks like a bullet hole.  And there’s a teaser about DIRT being where Duels are Done!  What could this mean?  What will this hit?!  What will we do with all the dirt!?

Stay tuned for the next update to find out!!  (remember you can check out Wookiee’s theory here..)

P.S. In my experience…whenever EA’s released a teaser like this on Facebook the update usually hits within the next 2 days.  So my guess is this will hit Tuesday.  BUT being that they went out of their way to post this on a Sunday, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this hit today…

P.P.S. I know this is going to annoy some of you, but the Android version of the Addicts App still isn’t working.  So we’re working to pull it down for now.  They’re going to pull it back and test.  It’ll come back to the store once it’s back.  I think if you already have it downloaded it’ll continue to work (unsupported), but i’m not 100% sure, for notifications.

Addicts Open Thread

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s that time of the week again, time for the Addicts Weekly Open Thread!  So, let’s get the conversation going!  Oh and remember…just because this is posted here today doesn’t mean you can’t comment on it all week long.  This open thread will still be open for comments long after today is over!

Here’s where you can talk about anything you want to talk about…TSTO Related, Simpson’s Related or ANYTHING.  Just no Add me requests…those should go here.  We’ll give you a few suggestions (like most Sunday’s you can talk about the current episode of the Simpsons) but for the most part you’re free to talk about ANYTHING your little Tapping Fingers desire…just keep it PG.

So…here is your Open Thread.  No new Simpsons tonight, so plenty of time to do your own Spring Cleaning in your pocket-sized Springfield!

The Gil Spring Cleaning offer is winding down, do you think we’ll see an event or level 60 this week?

How was your weekend? Do anything fun and exciting?

So chat about the Simpsons, TSTO, Update fun, or anything else you can think of!  Can’t wait to chat with you all, you know we love hearing from you!
