Go play The Simpsons: Tapped Out now, and don’t forget to check our page for Act 3of the event!
Yesterday we talked about the Tap Ball Event that’s progressing in Tapped Out.
Old Community Prizes screen
Something EA didn’t count on was the fact that the Community Prizes were unreachable due to poor calculations on their part.
Fortunatly that changed yesterday.
New Community Prizes screen
When people were raging over the overly priced prizes, EA found a solution by lowering their prices and the price of crafting a Sports Ball, necessary to collect this prizes.
A new prize was added too: 1000 Amateur Bucks, the crafting material necessary to craft the Sports Ball.
To craft a Sports Ball now you’re required to spend 40 or 3 instead of 500 or 33.
The chance of dropping Sports Balls from the balls dropped in your town by friends has also increased from 20% to 68%.
Please check our event page for Act 2 and Act 3 as well as this article for the updated values!
This update has a new questline and three new decorations; Bart’s Big Wheel, Lisa’s Kiddie Car and the Nightmare Pile.
Bart’s Big Wheel and Lisa’s Kiddie Car are pretty much standard decorations (Lisa gets a new task with the Kiddie Car) but the Nightmare Pile gives kids the chance to get their Halloween costumes out again and wear those in 4 hour tasks.
A new The Simpsons: Tapped Out event has started today. After a longer than usual delay between iOS and Android, the major devices all have it available as a store update (You must download from the App Store or Play Store).
This new update features the entire Terwilliger family with a new plot, involving the Monsarno Corporation. There will be three phases of prizes with three different event currencies. Phase one uses spades, phase two uses gas masks and phase three uses music notes.
Prizes are obtained in order by collecting spades. Items can be crafted using fertilizer and corn. There are daily tasks that have to be completed to get more event currency too.
For full details about the event, including characters to unlock and how, buildings, phases and prizes, see the Wikisimpsons article.
St. Patrick’s Day has arrived in Springfield, with Cletus angry at his moonshine tasting off! Several old items have returned, including O’Flanagan’s Pub with Tom O’Flanagan for 1900 Cash, the Wishing Well and Leprechaun for 150 Donuts and the Sham Rock Cafe with the Yupprechaun for 120. There’s also the new Green Bear Fountain for 5000 Cash, and the Stack of Beer for 35 donuts (there’s also one free in the questline)
After setting O’Flanagan’s to build, Gil is back again with the Blarney Castle for 115 Donuts.
The Homer deal is back now after a small update today!
Yesterday, a new The Simpsons: Tapped Out update happened in-game for The Homer, the car that Homer designed. It was available for 82 donuts and was supposed to last for 5 days.
Gil popped up in Springfield again to offer the car. If you purchased it, it came with a small quest line, teasing the addition of Herb Powell, Homer’s half brother. However, a few hours later, another update hit and the Gil deal was taken away. The end date was shifted back to 2014 meaning the offer was “over”.
However, if you didn’t get the car, don’t fear. It should be returning again very soon. The offer was a teaser to the addition of Powell Motors and Herb Powell. However, the theory is that EA accidentally released the update early, somehow.
I asked J. Stewart Burns, one of the writers of Tapped Out about it and he said this:
“we moved the update with herb back a bit. the homer was supposed to be a teaser to it. so my guess is… mistake.”
So, The Homer will be making a return at some point. And Herb Powell and Powell Motors will also be coming after that. For more details about the short update and future spoilers for the Herb Powell update, read this page.
My mom thinks of so many children, apart from me. No wonder I get away with so much.We’re a bit late to the party here, but Level 50 was finally released after 3 years of waiting on Wednesday (March 4). Well, they had to get through the other 49 first. It’s hard to believe it was September 21, 2012 when we first saw Nelson Muntz and Martin in Tapped Out.
By now, you’re probably worrying about the “Premium Helen Lovejoy”. Don’t worry, she only thinks she is. She gets Database to change her to premium.
But enough about clarifying that, we’ve got a new level. As you know, we’ve got the fan favorite Helen Lovejoy, as well as Jessica Lovejoy, who comes with the Lovejoy Residence for 180 donuts, plus the Municipal House of Pancakes, a favorite amongst the Investorettes for $1m, and Shorty’s, the coffee place where we first saw Helen try to get some Marge gossip way back in 1990, for 60 of those sprinkle-top foodstuffs. It Blows…but this update doesn’t. Unless you count the fact that the “IT BLOWS” doesn’t have the blowing effect like it does in the episode.
The new Friendship levels consist of the air conditioning store, It Blows, where Homer used the money to buy a new air con instead to buy Lisa a new sax, and the Canyonero. We also see the addition of the premium Murderpuss, and the Christmas-leaked Book Burning Mobile. Early Access is available for this update’s premium items until the 16th March.
The Bartman Cave was also implemented as part of the Superhero event.
Find out what Helen’s getting up to in town, whether it’s competing with Marge in the bake sale contest with lemon cakes, cauldron bubbling and other things to do with selling herself off (premium, get it?!) in the Level 50 update!
How comes no one’s ever around when I say something clever? – Marge
Homer’s leadership skills seem to develop when donning a blue jumper and a very flexible pie tin.That’s right, folks, Homer is surprisingly the leader of something in the new Tapped Out update, inwhich we see the long-awaited implementation of all our favourite superheroes!
The Superheroes event, which will end on March 31st, is split into four (or five, technically) and revolves around the superheroes of Springfield defeating the evil criminals. The font and some icons have changed too.
There will be four prize tracks with three prizes in each track (part), as well as the return of the crafting system from last Halloween and the upgrading system from Clash of Clones and Halloween. Carbon Rods, Freeze Rays and Arbitrarium are currency, from what I can deduct from the files, and I believe the latter is used to upgrade the Superior Squad HQ, one of the main buildings in the event.
There’s been plenty of changes and new additions, so why don’t you check out the event article here to discover more, while us at Wikisimpsons try to get all the information possible for the event article?!
That’s it for now! Sorry there’s not much, but that’s basically all we’ve got!
