Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
After (roughly) 7 years of TSTO, we finally were hit with an update today that brought a MUCH desired and requested feature to our pocket-sized Springfields! The “Collect All” is FINALLY here!
This comes to us via the Sky Finger monument…afterall Springfield knows who’s really in control of their town!
Let’s take a look at this new feature, including how you unlock it and how it all works…

Tut, Tut my good ladies and gents…we are awash in the best of “Jolly Old England” in our Springfields. The heisting continues, but it is almost secondary to the cool buildings and prizes up for grabs in this Act.
I admit to being a bit of an Anglophile, so I am stoked to get some of the buildings and special decorations that have graced my imagination and book shelves for most of my lifetime. And, if you have to steal a few jewels to get it all? So be it!
First Prize- Tower of Springfield!

The contest is now closed. The winner of the Ralphie figurine is Robert! Congratulations & thanks everyone for participating!
Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Well we’re nearing the end of 2017. Another year in the books and another year full of events in TSTO. As we prepare to head into 2018, we’re planning on doing a very special Addicts Live for the end of the year. This will be pre-recorded, so nothing to tune in live for. That episode will feature a discussion about 2017 in TSTO. We’ll talk about the events, share our opinions about each event & we hope to include your opinions as well!
So in preparation for that episode, I’ve prepared a Addicts Poll…a place for you to break down just the events of 2017. This way we can keep Addicts Live interactive, despite being pre-recorded.
Please, take a moment to answer the poll questions below & as a reward you’ll be entered in a very special contest! (more details on that below)
For those having trouble viewing the form embedded here, follow the direct link here
Please Note: In the past, I’ve had issues with people responding to their email when they’ve won a contest. So for this contest, because of time constraints (I want to get this in the mail by Thursday), I ask you (if you want to enter the contest) to enter your Mailing Address for Shipping right in the entry form. In order to be a valid entry for the contest, your address must be entered. If you don’t want to enter the contest, leave that area blank.
And now CONTEST ALERT…
Update: I’ve added another point…
Dear TSTO,
We need to talk. Lately, I feel like we’ve lost that lovin’ feeling. It’s totally not me…it’s you. I try and try to bring that feeling back, but time and time again you just disappoint me.
What happened to the way things used to be? You’ve tried over the last couple of years to fix something that wasn’t broken, and instead, you broke what was already great. You used to be cutting edge in mobile gaming, doing things no other game was doing. Now you’re stuck in a rut and I’m not the only one noticing.
Day after day, event after event, I see other players say you’re losing their interest. They’re grinding for the sake of grinding, and not because it’s fun. They too have lost that lovin’ feeling. That excitement and joy that made them come back for more, over and over again. They’re missing what made them Addicts in the first place. And it needs to be fixed, pronto, or I’m afraid TSTO will lose players faster than that other mobile game has.
I get it, this game is over 5 years old. It’s had a long life and maybe you’re running out of ideas. But, the best thing about TSTO is it’s based on the best show. So running out of ideas isn’t an option. You have 28 full seasons of The Simpsons to work with. And unlike some of those other games, by that other miniature company, The Simpsons is actually funny (and doesn’t rely solely on “fart jokes” for a laugh) and has never been canceled. So really, running out of ideas isn’t an option. If we’re still watching a show after nearly 30 years, clearly you should still be able to hold our interest after only 5 years.
Don’t worry, this isn’t a “Dear John” letter. I’m not breaking up with you. No, this is a “let’s fix things so we can get back that lovin’ feeling” letter. So what follows is a list of 10 simple changes you can implement to make TSTO Events great again. (when it comes to those mini-events I actually think you’re doing a great job) So let’s get to it…
Contest is Now Closed. But feel free to still share your thoughts in the comments. Winners have been selected and I’ll have a post up once I confirm with the winners to announce them. (So check your emails) Thanks!
Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
So Homerpalooza is nearing the end, remember it ends tomorrow, and we’re all gearing up for the “next big thing” in our Pocket-sized Springfields. But before something new hits I want all of us to take a step back and think about TSTO in general.
The last few weeks I’ve been seeing LOADS of comments from you guys about why this event was both good and bad and many of you have been commenting that TSTO isn’t holding your interest lately. And you’ve heard our thoughts on the subject in many posts and most recently on our latest episode of Addicts Live.
So now it’s your turn. What I want to know is what you think could be different for events in TSTO. What could EA change that would make you really excited to play? What would hold your interest? What would keep you engaged? What type of events would you like to see?
And now CONTEST ALERT…

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, Happy Tapper!
Happy Tapper asked if he could write a post of his ideas for future Events in TSTO, and I said sure!
Love em or hate em, Events seem to be popup rapid fire these days…and everyone has their own opinion about them. And here’s Happy Tapper’s thoughts about what the future could bring for Events in TSTO…
Enjoy it my friends! And don’t forget to give us your take in the comments below 🙂 -Alissa
Hello fellow tappers and welcome to a post where I try and grab the attention of EA so I can deliver my unorganized wishlist of future content. A few months ago, when Addicts started the Design an Update contest, I started getting very excited and started to plot some ideas. I entered the update I thought would be the easiest to complete – being in a busy schedule at that time – and was very fortunate to get 1st place. All the other finalists were AMAZING and reading through them all makes you realize how much more EA have got to go.
I LOVE designing updates (yep, I’m THAT) sad so it seems such a waste to keep them to myself so, here I am. There was no better way to organize this ramble then to go with bullet points with no connection with each other whatsoever. Enjoy … Continue reading
Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
So last Saturday I asked y’all to rate TSTO in 2017, so far. To get some honest feedback at where the game sits in your mind nearly 6 months into 2017. As usual y’all didn’t disappoint with responses!
Let’s take a look… Continue reading

A day late and a dollar short.
I’m sure regular readers have noticed I haven’t been around as much with school going on. Life has been crazy and between school, work, and life, there’s not a lot of free time. One thing that does bring me joy though in the moments I have to myself is writing here, doing my geek podcast, and playing the silly little mobile game which led to the writing gig in the first place.
Over the last week, I’ve been working on another speculation post based on the hints EA gave us with the take down of the Vacation Event. I love that they’re giving us teases which actually pan out and I feel it poignant to point out that a lot of folks guessed from the last one that Rommelwood Academy was in our futures. I wasn’t one of them but oh well. It definitely fits into the idea of Military Miseducation.
But wait!?! Didn’t the most recent one thing say something about misfires in connection to the military? I don’t see anything which falls into that category unless you count the premium missile with a drawing of Homer on it so it while I initially thought about scrapping this entire post as being too late to matter, instead of wasting the time it took to get it done, I figured it couldn’t hurt to still present my ideas. Heck… even a broken clock is right twice a day so why not prognoscticate like the Wookstradumb@$$ I am?
