From the Mouths of Addicts: Character Visual Task List

Posted on April 13, 2016 by | 54 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

As we all know TSTO is full of some great animations!  Everything from Homer shoving donuts in his face at a rapid pace to Comic Book Guy helping Agnes Cross the street!  We all love those visual tasks, but sometimes it’s hard to remember which characters tasks are visual.  Well not anymore!

A few weeks ago Addicts reader Z and reached out and let me know she was currently compiling a list of visual tasks for TSTO.  And she wanted to know if we would be interested in the list when she had it complete.  Of course knowing that many of you have been asking for such a list, I jumped at the opportunity!  Plus you know we love when you guys get involved in the process! 🙂

So without further ado, here’s the list…. Continue reading →

Your Favorite Premium Character/Building Poll Results

Posted on April 12, 2016 by | 57 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

So what feels like FOREVER ago…we ran a little poll asking y’all to tell us which premium character/building combo is your favorite.  Of course the day we ran the poll EA decided to drop the Casino Event into our pocket sized Springfields and we never got a chance to run the results.  Well now that the Casino Event is over, the Fire Event is nearing the end and we’re all in a little bit of a holding pattern we’ve got the time to post the results!  So let’s show those results…. I know the 2 months of suspense was killing you guys 😉

Crook and Ladder and the Conform-O-Meter

Posted on April 12, 2016 by | 22 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Space Tappers!

It’s getting hot in Springfield, as the Crook and Ladder mini event has invaded our games for the last week plus bringing several  new items to our pocket sized towns. With all of the new items  added to Tapped Out I thought now would be a good time to take a look at how all of these items impact the Conform-O-Meter ratings (especially since this might help you decide what to keep out & what to put into storage).

The Conform-O-Meter is an important part of Tapped-Out because it provides you with a bonus boost in your cash and  XP from everything you collect in the game.  When you achieve a 5-Star Town (it’s max rating) you will receive a 5% bonus on all money and XP collected in your town.  If you missed the previous Conform-O-Meter posts check here for the basics and here for how many points you’ll need to reach 5 stars.

While the Crook and Ladder brought no changes to the Conform-O-Meter requirements, it did bring us a new items to add to our Springfield.  Let’s take a look at how all of the new “goodies” impact our rating: Continue reading →

Posted on April 11, 2016 by | 95 comments

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 one of our frequent commenters, Robobot!

Robobot asked if he could write another post for us, so I said sure..come up with your own idea, give us your opinions on and and we’ll see what happens!  Well he came up with a fun discussion about the recent trend in mini events.

Love em or hate em, Mini Events seem to be here to stay (at least for now)…and everyone has their own opinion about them.  And here’s Robobot’s take…

Enjoy it my friends!  And don’t forget to give us your take in the comments below 🙂

Thank you Addicts for taking time from your Arson’s on your friends and neighbors and your Recent Influx of Fires to read this post. Today I’ll be talking about the sorta recent trend that has been taking Your Springfield by storm. That’s right the one, the only, the mini Event.

Addicts Open Thread

Posted on April 10, 2016 by | 989 comments

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.  The Simpsons are all new tonight, what will happen in the new episode?  Do you plan on checking it out?

The fire event is still burning in our Springfields, although many of you have already completed it.  What do you think will be next to hit our pocket sized towns?

Sunday Night Baseball tonight features my Yankees at the Tigers.  How do you think that game will turn out?  How’s your team doing so far this season?

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!

Have Fun!  And happy Sunday!

Meanwhile, Bart is frustrated that everyone expects his pranks, so he teams up with Maggie to trick people.“

Showoff Annoucement: Crook and Ladder

Posted on April 9, 2016 by | 51 comments

Showoff entries are now closed.  Check out everyone’s entries tomorrow evening! 🙂

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

It’s that time…calling all Crook and Ladder designs!  We’re getting ready to do the next Springfield Showoff featuring your Fire inspired designs!  So prep those towns…because we want to see what you’ve done with your Springfield!

The Fire Event is heading into it’s final days…and many of you have been done for a little while, so we thought now would be the perfect time to showoff those towns!

Springfield Volunteer Fire Department 3

 

So grab some screenshots of your town, or finish up those designs…just make sure to send your submissions in by about 8pm EDT Friday (4/15). Can’t wait to see what YOU have come up with.

You can send your designs in two ways…either post a link to the image in the comments on this post or you can email them to us at TSTOAddictsblog@gmail.com.  We won’t be pulling images from anywhere else, so please if you want to be featured either submit in the comments below or email your images to us.

Note: PLEASE try to limit your submissions to only 1-2 of your favorite screenshots.  We like to try and let everyone showoff their town but it becomes difficult when some of you are sending in 7-10 images.  Pick your favorite areas and send them in (or if you stitch photos together, that works too).  We’ll try our best to get EVERYONE in, but please understand that sometimes we miss a photo or two.  If we miss you one week, we’ll try really hard to make sure we get you in the next week.  You’re always welcome to showoff your town, at any time, on our Flickr page.  We know a lot of you have awesome towns that you want to show off, but please try to stick with this week’s theme.  Remember, this isn’t a contest.  There’s nothing to win.  It’s just a fun way to showoff your town and get some design inspiration from your fellow Addicts.  🙂   

Do you want to be featured on the next Springfield Showoff?  Post your images  in the Comments below or email us your screenshots at TSTOAddictsblog@gmail.com. We can’t wait to see YOUR designs! (Need help with images, just ask.)
