Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
So back on April 1st (April Fool’s Day) we challenge you guys with a “What’s Wrong” Foolish Fun challenge with this banner:
We told y’all there were 11 things wrong with the banner and asked you to name them for a chance to win a iTunes/Android/Amazon gift card. Well the results are in and Random.Org has picked a winner….
Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Lately it seems, that with event on top of event, TSTO has become predictable. Often times we can figure out what’s going to happen in the game before an event even hits. Let’s face it it’s all become a bit monotonous.
An Event hits, there’s going to be some element of excitement during Act 1…Act 2 hits that excitement level dwindles a bit, since really Act 2 is a replay of act 1…and by the time Act 3 hits everyone is so bored and over the event that we just want it to be over already. But it wasn’t always like this…
EA used to do some super cool things with events (and in some cases they still do). These cool elements made TSTO stand out from other freemium games…and honestly I’m not sure why they stopped with some of them.
While I’m sure many of us have different opinions about what’s cool and what’s not…I think having played this game for nearly four years and blogging about it for just about three years gives me a unique perspective. Heck I’ve been moderating your comments about what y’all like and dislike about this game for three years. 😉
So here’s my take on some of the coolest elements EA ever added to TSTO…
Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Looks like we’ve got Level 60 on our hands….
My apologies for not getting on this right away I was, shockingly, actually working lol.
Anywho you’ll see a bunch of stuff about levels on here….and then the task will auto trigger for you. Build the Googolplex for $1,852,000..
It looks like…EA has gone the way of Family Guy and Disney in that you’ll level up, but it doesn’t mean anything.
Which means they’ll introduce new characters through mini events and Bigger events not Levels. I’ll cover a bit more on this below…
Oh and Gil’s back!
I’ll be back with more as I go through it… Continue reading
Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
So..first, there’s an update in the Goggle Play Store. So if you missed it, get it. It’s helping some players deal with the General Store Glitch.
Second, as many of you are starting to finish your prize track and you’ve completed the main questline (by unlocking the Finale), you’re seeing another task popup called More Clues.
This is basically telling you to collect 1500 
….
From what I’ve observed…this is NOT an opportunity for Bonuts. This is just a task telling you to collect . My guess is this is in place to remind you to do exchanges at the General Store to continue to unlock those prizes.
Again…this is NOT a chance for Bonuts. It’s just another task…
If you’ve had something different popup offering you Bonuts please email me (TSTOAddictsblog@gmail.com) with a screenshot. I’ve tried it in 3 different games, no Bonuts.
This More Clues task will also go away after you’ve completed it once.
The only opportunity we see in Act 1 for Bonuts is via the General Store Trade Ins. On Day 14 you’ll earn Bonuts. And that’s the only thing we see giving away those free donuts.
Hopefully this clears up some confusion! And I really hope the new patch helps many of you get back to playing!
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 Addicts reader, Doc.
Doc reached out to us recently via email with an idea for a post on a one-stop guide on how to earn bonuts since there are so many different methods now. It’s always great to have all of this information in one place, so naturally I thought it would be great to get this up on the site!
So without further ado, here’s Doc with his Bonut post! (Bonut = Bonus donuts for those who don’t already know) Enjoy 🙂
I thought it might be helpful to some if there was a one-stop guide on how to earn bonuts in our favorite, most additive game. If you are an avid freemium player, like me, you covet the opportunity to earn bonuts whenever you can. I will list each method, and give you a breakdown of how much you can get in a month.
Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
So a little update hit our games earlier today. An update that brought us a new way to earn donuts in TSTO…Daily Challenges!
Of course as with all updates, this one comes with a fun little questline. One to help guide you through the changes in the game. When in doubt, follow the questline. It’ll help guide you through what’s next in the game.
So let’s take a look at the questline…and just what you need to do to unlock the Daily Challenges in your Springfield!

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
Just a quick note to let you know the first community prize has now unlocked! So log into your Springfield to collect your free donuts!
Now onto the next one….
Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s Harvest Time in Springfield and the Terwilliger’s have returned to Springfield to unleash Mutant Vegetables on us! In the First Act of the Terwilliger Event you’ll unlock Cecil Terwilliger, Monsarno Research & help Lisa free the Mutant Veggies all over Springfield!
This Event is broken up into 3 Acts, with each Act containing part of the story. To help you move along with the event you’ll get several prizes per Act. Each prize will either be something fun for Springfield or something to help you move along in the event. For the first Act you’re tasked with collecting Spades/Trowels/Shovels…these things 
to unlock each prize! The final Act 1 prize awarded at 16,050 is the Pet Mutant Plant, a new character for your Springfield.
So let’s take a closer look at this Pet Mutant and just what happens when you unlock it in your Springfield and if you really should just smoke it.
