Scratchers, Cat Hostess & Chippy Oh My!

Posted on March 1, 2016 by Alissa | 387 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

A few new items went live in our games this morning…and you guys are clamoring for the info. So let’s get right to it and break down the quick details of the Platinum Scratchers, Hostess Miss. Springfield & Chippy!

Before I get into the post…first a note about Players Club points. This is REALLY important, so please pay attention. Players Club points () are NOT awarded until the item you unlock or purchase is placed (and built) in your Springfield. So if you won a prize that’s a building, you won’t unlock the associated points until you place it in your Springfield and it has been built. If you purchase a character, like Cat Hostess Miss. Springfield the points will not be awarded until Cat Hostess Miss. Springfield is unlocked in your town. So don’t freak out you didn’t get the points..check to see that the item is in your town and NOT in your inventory.

Now on with your regularly scheduled post…

3/5/14- In Game Update: Episode Tie-In (Updated and complete)

Posted on March 5, 2014 by Alissa | 115 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers,

Little update just hit our games everyone. Working through the details now but you’ll need Homer free to complete the first task! 🙂

Milhouse kicks off the Episode-Tie in with dialogue, so make sure he’s free.

More details as we go through them.

Get to tap tap tapping!

UPDATE 2:45pm EST: Ok guys sorry this info took so long to get out. Having issues with my phone wanting to cooperate! Anyway double episode Sunday means 2 part Episode Tie-In.

Part 1 should auto-start between Homer and Lisa. This is a 3 part quest-line where you’ll need to have Homer, Lisa AND Cletus free to complete. Ending with a new item to grow on Cletus’s farm.

Part 2 will start after you tap Milhouse. A dialogue will pop up between Milhouse and Bart. No quests with this, but at the end you’ll be given the option to buy a new premium (NP) character.

So to quickly recap…with out giving away any spoilers….Part 1 will give you a new item to grow on Cletus’s farm and Part 2 will give you the option to purchase a new NPC for donuts.

Not much too this Episode-Tie in…in fact it’s a little disappointing. BUT nevertheless more details, including spoilers, below the fold. Continue reading →

Last Minute Holiday Shopping: Christmas Buying Guide

Posted on January 13, 2014 by Alissa | 10 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers,

Well Christmas is almost over in Springfield (it’s about time right?!). Once it’s gone tomorrow (January 14th)^, the option to buy many of the Christmas décor will be gone! Poof just like that! The Grumple will steal them away and they’ll disappear into the night never to be able to be purchased again…unless of course EA decides to bring them back next year for Christmas.

Should I Spend Donuts On the Swanky Fish?

Posted on January 9, 2014 by Alissa | 11 comments

With the new Premium items just added to our menu, it may be overwhelming trying to decide whether to buy them or to pass on them. With that limited-time label on items I know it can be tempting to just buy everything you can. But, have no fear! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth your donuts & what you might want to hold off on.

Wondering if you should add the Swanky Fish to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button, let’s break down the Pros and Cons of adding this restaurant to your Springfield.
Building: Swanky Fish
Donut Price: 90 Donuts
Conform-O-Meter Impact: Gluttony +10
Earns: $200 and 22XP every 8hrs

Pros:
-A returning Limited-Time Item, but don’t be fooled. Just because it came back once doesn’t mean it will again.
-A new task unlocks for Comic Book Guy, Skinner & Brockman to Eat at the Swanky Fish…so it will be used.
-Not a bad size, can easily fit in Springfield.
-Characters earn at a premium rate when they’re using it.
-Protected building, so you can’t sell it by mistake.
-Will boost your Gluttony Rating on the Conform-O-Meter

Cons:
-When it was originally released a little mini quest unlocked with it, this time around there is no mini quest.
-No new characters come with the building and only 3 characters interact with it.

Final Thought:

Personally I’ve had the Swanky Fish in my town since it was first released last April. It’s one of my favorite restaurants in town because it’s pretty easy to decorate around. It also earns a decent rate and characters DO interact with it (which is more than I can say about the Museum of Natural History)…plus it’s LIMITED TIME. So if you’ve been coveting your neighboreenos Swanky Fish now’s your chance to get your very own!

WDTCF- Mr. Costington & His Store

Posted on December 31, 2013 by Bunny | 1 comment

Now a days, every town has to have that MAJOR high end mall type store. The one that is full of anything and everything you need. And if you don’t think you need it, they will make sure you leave thinking you did. Lol.

The store is very reminiscent of the Macy’s & Gimble’s type places from “Miracle on 34th Street”. It is located in Downtown Springfield, Hosts the towns Thanksgiving Day Parades, and has many familiar employees…like Gil and the Yes Guy. The owner, well you never know what to quite make of him. At one moment he seems so kind, at others…a very grumpy old man.

So what store is this? Who is the owner? Well, the title should have given you a clue. It is Costington’s. So without further ado, I will break down the origin of Costington’s, Mr. Costington, and just where they came from in the Simpsons TV World.

THIS IS THE DROID (TIP FOR TSTO) YOU”RE LOOKING FOR

Posted on December 23, 2013 by The Wookiee | 9 comments

A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E…. the applause,applause applause….

Man… sitting at home and the teenager wanted to watch the Lady Gaga & the Muppets Holiday Special and this frakkin song is stuck in my head. Arrrrgggggh… Muppets so good and Gaga so strange. If she wasn’t a cameo performer in The Simpsons, I might be angry. Gotta… do… something…. to make…brain demons… go silent… must… find… people as weird as me…. ok, over to tapped-out.co.uk. Besides all you awesome tapaholics here, this is my other tapped out community where I go to be the addict that I am. It is basically like the Facebook for TSTO. I have met sooooo many interesting and cool folks over there.

Anywho, this post isn’t a complete plug for those folks but it’s more of a segway into the really cool “TSTO Tip” for all my Android peeps. (I really hate putting two of those words together but couldn’t think of a better way to describe it.) As an ioS player, I take it for granted that neighboreeno management is so easy on my device. Over and over I have heard that it sucks that Droid users can’t easily delete neighbors unless they use the Origin program.

Well, breaking news my friends! One of my good buds over at tapped-out (you rock Chris J.) discovered a way for Android users to be able to delete folks within their devices and passed the info to me to break here for all you Addicts! Of all the places to find this… it’s in Scrabble. Continue reading →

Posted on December 10, 2013 by Alissa | 123 comments

Hey Howdy Hey Ghostbuste..er I mean Gift Grabbers!

Snow has arrived in Springfield & is it just me or is anyone else have Déjà vu? Christmas looks a lot like Halloween (sort of). Instead of the creepy mist, Ghosts, Gremlins and GOO, Christmas brings us snow, gift boxes, gift bags and gift cards (Geez..what’s with all the G words EA?!) Confused yet? Don’t be…as always the Addicts team is here to help! We’ve got you covered, so that plus the 4 weeks you have to play the update should help you achieve all of the goals! Let’s get right to it by breaking down the “game inside the game”.

If we were Ghostbusters at Halloween we’re Gift Grabbers for Christmas, because that’s what EA is asking you to do here. The object is to “grab” (tap) gifts in your town to collect Gift Cards and other goodies. Gift Cards are the new in-game currency for special Christmas items. Occasionally a Gift Box will spill out a Gift Bag or a Spin Coin when you tap them. Gift Bags are collected to put into your friend’s towns, they’ll help you earn more Gift Cards. Confused yet? Don’t be…let’s break it all down step by step Continue reading →
