Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Looks like EA has dropped yet another little surprise on us this morning…no it’s not Christmas yet…a minor in-game update just dropped (no this is not a new level update).
This update cleared Thanksgiving from Springfield and it’s a special episode tie-in update for Sunday’s episode of the Simpsons! Here are the details you’ll need to know:
2 NEW items!
Oscar’s Obstacles Truck– FREE once you complete the quests! (this will be tucked into your inventory once you’re done with the Clandestine Nerd quests)
USS Tom Clancy– Premium Submarine. 50 Donuts. This is unlocked immediately and is a new decoration for your water! (Requires Level 15 AND will earn you 2.25% bonus)
Here’s how the Sub looks in Squidport:
BOTH of these items are limited-time so be sure to get them before Sunday’s episode of the Simpsons!
This SHOULD auto-start for you once you’ve logged into TSTO. However, in my game it did not auto-start (I play on an Android device, GS4). If this happens to you (the game updates but you don’t see the quests starting) back out of the game, hard close the app and then restart TSTO. This should trigger the game to auto-start the quest.
Lisa gets things started…
Clandestine Nerd Pt. 1
Lisa: A note for me? Wow, I’ve heard about students passing notes but I never thought it would happen to me! I wonder who it’s from?
Skinner: Me! But keep it to yourself. School secrets are important. Like how all cockroaches disappear right before the cafeteria makes chili.
Lisa: Sorry. I’ve never had a secret before. This is all new territory for me.
Skinner: Meet me in my office after school. It’s the one with “WIENER” spray-painted on the door. If people are suspicious, say it’s about the “Math Club” – everyone will lose interest.

Clandestine Nerd Pt. 2
After tapping Skinner
Skinner: Lisa, I’m asking you to do this secret assignment because you’re the smartest student at this school.
Lisa: Well, you did engrave my name on honor roll plaques for the next 3 years to get the volume discount.
Skinner: You understand this has to remain secret. Just like that Willie and the lunch lady are back together… oops.
Lisa: I do. Thanks for asking me Principal Skinner. This is almost as exciting as extra credit algebra!
Skinner: Ok, now I need this done by Sunday. Hopefully before my “Real Housewives” TV program is on. That’s my “me-time”.
Make Lisa Work on a Secret Assignment– 24hrs
Homer– Hey Honey, how come you’re locking yourself in your room for 24 hours? And can you get Bart to do it instead?
Lisa: Uh, it’s nothing Dad. I’m just practicing to be a moody teenager. Do I have your permission to play music loudly?
Homer: Of course. It there’s one thing I know about parenting, it’s to always believe your kid’s first answer.
Clandestine Nerd Pt. 3
After tapping on Lisa
Lisa: Principal Skinner, I finish the assignment. I even put it in a binder with color-coded tabs. Consider that when you are grading it.
Skinner: Nice work Lisa. And remember, this is just between us, like how I’m studying the art of making balloon animals online. By the way, thank you for your reference letter.
What else changed with the update?
Well…it looks as though the location for the Scratch-R’s in the Kwik-E-Mart as changed. The Premium Scratch-R is now listed second and the $250 in game cash Scratch-R is listed first. So be careful when tapping on the Kwik-E-Mart that you don’t accidentally hit the wrong one!
