Turbo Tappin’ Super Powers: Main Questline and Prizes

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Out with Moe’s Ark and in with Superheroes…yes again…as a new mini-event makes its way into our games.

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.  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…

Update Time: Super Powers Mini Event

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Update time in Springfield.  If you haven’t already done so, download the newest update from the app store (that hit yesterday).

As I hinted at yesterday, this is (yet another) Superheroes update.  Woo-hoo  Things kick off with a 4hr task for Milhouse, once that’s complete you’ll kick off the mini-event.

Let’s take a look at what else is in store…

(FYI Kids and Prof Frink will be needed to complete tasks for this one…Bart, Martin, Lisa, Rod, Todd, Nelson & Milhouse)

Mini-Event Ends September 26th… Continue reading

Moe’s Ark Removal Update Available

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Officially back from my maternity leave from the site…a few hours early, but that’s ok.  Hopefully y’all didn’t give Patric too hard of a time.  I know he did a great job filling in for me, and I know it wasn’t easy.  Especially since I’m crazy OCD about how things are done around here lol.

Anyway…popping in a few hours early to let you know the Moe’s Ark Removal update has hit the stores. Here’s a look at the update description…

Personally, I’m hoping that census comment means that Townhall will finally be easy to search feature…

Downloading this will prep your game for a mini update that’s slated to hit tomorrow. You can download it now (it won’t impact the Moe’s Ark prize track or update content) or you can wait until tomorrow to download it.  However, you will need to download it to start the next update…

And remember, when the timer runs down on Moe’s Ark the event will be over.  You won’t be able to earn the prizes you missed out on for free.  So use all the time you have left if you’re still behind on the prize track.

Anywho, I’ll be back tomorrow once the mini event hits (as far as content, let’s just say it’ll be something Superand in my opinion something super bad and overplayed…) so for now enjoy your night and the calm before the storm….

Should I Spend Donuts On the Rosh Hashanah Content?

Hey, Hey, Hey!!  It’s Rosh Hashanah!

How do you greet one another on Rosh Hashanah???

Leshana tovah tikatev v’tichatem” (לשנה טובה תכתב ותחתם). When greeting a female, this is modified to“Leshana tovah tikatevee v’tichatemee” (לשנה טובה תכתבי ותחתמי). This means, “May you be written and sealed for a good year.”

Why is this important?  Because it is also Rosh Hashanah in our Springfields, and there are some special new and returning items being offered, that deserve a “SHOULD I SPEND DONUTS” post on them!

Read on! Get your sprinkly sheckles ready, and celebrate the New Year (either early or late).

Addicts Open Thread

Time To Talk Through Tumultuous Troubles, Terrible Turmoils, Terrific Tidings & Tappers Telling Tales

(This week’s thread is sponsored by the letter ‘T’)

 

It’s that time of the week again, time for the Addicts Weekly Open Thread!  With another Tiny Addict having just arrived, I’m going to help the Mother of Addicts, the Queen of the Tappers, the Protector of Six Events, the Great Aleesi (Alissa) with these Open Threads for the coming period.

Addicts Open Thread is a staple of this site that dates back to January 2014.  Only 10 of us readers (myself included) commented on that first open thread way back then, and here we are nearly half a decade later and tens of thousands of comments later.

The Addicts Open Thread is where this site truly becomes a community, where we can talk about anything we 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 you desire…just keep it PG.

So, here is your Open Thread…..

Moe’s Ark is coming to an end, how have you fared with the prize track?  Taking in our tips for progressing through Act 3?  But Moe’s Ark isn’t the only thing happening. Have you checked out the Rosh Hashanah items?

ICYMI…the Bracket Battle winner was announced.  You can check it out here.  How long til the Addict’s most desired character skin joins our game?

And finally, how about the rest of your weekend?  Do anything fun and exciting?  How was your past week?  Any plans for the upcoming week?

So chat about The Simpsons, TSTO, TSTO Addicts, or anything else you can think of! (Just no politics, it never ends well)  We can’t wait to chat with you all, as you know we love hearing from you!

Have Fun!  And happy Sunday!

Rosh Hashanah 2018 Promo Mini-Event with Turbo Tappin’ Guide

I’m not going to begin to try to explain the intricacies of Rosh Hashanah and the Jewish culture.  But, there are some great myths that have driven the religion, as well as being some of the key aspects of the Old Testament in Christianity. I grew up hearing the stories about the “Tower of Babel,” and other Old Testament yarns, but never connected the dots on Jewish holidays until I was much older.

But, being a New Year’s Baby (01-01-54), I never fully embraced Rosh Hashanah,  as it conflicted with my claim to New Years. And apparently, EA doesn’t fully embrace it either, as Rosh Hashanah actually starts on Sunday the 9th, and goes through the 11th. It is the Jewish celebration of the Jewish New Year!

And how is EA celebrating this event?  By bringing back a bunch of Jewish items from the past, and giving us a couple of new Premium Decorations.  Cool! (nobody said that the price of Heaven was free!)

I’m breaking an “Addicts Law” to post this…as we don’t usually post game content on weekends. But, the event will be more than halfway done by Monday…so, I’ll risk getting in trouble from “Mom” (who is happily at home with Sam, our newest Little Addict).  So….Let’s take a look!

Friday Filler – When Time/Space and Multi-Characters Bring Up BIG Questions

I realize that I continue to whine about the “Time/Space Crashers” that EA introduces into the game.  Whether you are a fan of “Back to the Future” or any other number of time travel movies and books, the fact is…the way time travel is portrayed in popular culture just isn’t real. Altering events from the past…even the smallest diversion from a chance interaction, can have untold ramifications on future events that could be mind-boggling. But time flows forward…not backward. And this is a good thing.

I got the “Younger, more attractive version” of Homer Wednesday. And now, being free of the “Daily Grind” of this event, I have plenty of time to ponder bigger questions…

Looking back, with an option to change something. The that’s a big one.

Yes…there are countless daily decisions that “could/woulda/shoulda” been better choices. But to the contrary, you never know when leaving a few minutes earlier or later to work, may have resulted in you missing getting nailed at an intersection by a driver who is playing TSTO on his phone, while trying to drive (Don’t Tap and Drive!).

So when someone like “Teenage Homer” shows up as a permanent alternate Homer…to wander around interacting with the rest of the “here and now,” it makes me cranky…and makes me look back at my own life in ways that may cause regret or recrimination…

Should I Spend Donuts On the Tower of Babel?

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Lions and Tigers and Emus…oh my!  The Springfield Zoo (aka Moe’s Ark) event is in full swing in our pocket-sized towns!  Of course, by now, we all know that a new event means a new excuse for EA to fill our stores with limited-time premium items to tempt us.

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 the Tower of Babel to your Springfield?  Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this biblical tower to your town…
