Leave the town and come back in. The view will automatically center over him and follow him around.

Finally I'm able to login on iPad.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Once I found that I could do that, it made getting Sideshow Bob soooooo much easier.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I used "non-traditional" methods to get items (including donuts). I don't know if we can discuss that openly here but PM me if you want information. ;) I didn't pay attention to the gift cards though, they just accumulated via the other activities I did such as buying/giving, spinning the wheel a ton.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Cool, I didn't know that was an option. I just figured that would be counted as a miss. :(

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I hate the Krusty wheel. I wouldn't mind getting gift cards but I can't stand winning $1000.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

So it's just a spinning version of the mystery box?

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

All the items are visible and some are not available elsewhere in the game. But once you accumulate a unique item, that place on the wheel is then taken up with gift cards or $1000. Except in the case of the character snowmen, where they get replaced with other snowmen.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

It just sucks when you have one item left and you spend 50 donuts to get a bunch a gift cards and cash.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Yeah, I've been going through multiple cycles trying to get that Temple.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Can someone please tell me, how do you get enough gift bags to give out? I'm lucky if I get 15 a day, and so many of my neighbours drop them in my city, and I feel bad I can't reciprocate. How do you get more? Or does that sound about right?

Also, what does it mean when I'm in a neighbour's town and tap one of their buildings and another persons name appears over it? As if they had already tapped it. Does my neighbour still get the tap or did I just take it from him?
I haven't been able to find the answer to this question anywhere.

Thanks guys.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

They've been stingy on giving gift bags out. You're not the only who can't reciprocate to all of your friends. Supposedly, there is going to be a few days where everything you collect is doubled so that will help. Of course, you could always spend donuts for gift bags. Seems like a rip-off and I'm wondering if EA is trying to make us scared that we won't hit the community goals in order to make us spend donuts. My advice is to just keep playing and give gift bags to those players who have the least amount of gift cards. The goal should be to help everyone reach all of the prizes.

For your second question, it just means that someone else tapped on the same house. It doesn't change anything.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I don't see the Jebediah Springfield statue in your town. He comes with 10 free donuts.



My understanding:

The Orange house takes 16 hours to build a $. It won't start building the next one until I collect the finished one. If you visit and see it finished and tap on it, that will restart the timer for me. If I come back 8 hours later, I should only have to wait another 8 hours for the next one to finish. If I still haven't made it back to my Springfield, the Orange house will be available for other visitors to tap. The new visitor who taps it will see your name.

When I finally show up in my Springfield, I'll still see a handshake on my orange house. When I tap it, I'll see the name of the last visitor to tap it.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

it is annoying the shit out of me again. constant crashes on my galaxy s4 phone. runs like butter on my Nexus 7. not sure why there is an issue, but it's nearly unplayable on my phone. crashes the most when i'm doing the gifting in neighbor towns. i wish EA would get their shit together with this game.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Someone dropped a present pretty much right behind my squidport sign. I can't tap it because I have a tile up and I know I'll end up hitting that too.

I guess I'll have to wait for my elves to get it.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Yeah.. the 450,000,000 for just the first one is crazy.... I don't think we'll get all of them by the end of this.. unless they do something to help.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

How can we possibly get to 450 million or beyond for the other prizes if we only get 15 or so gift bags to give away per day? I doubt too many ppl are collecting their bags instead of gifting them. So how is this even possible? I don't think this was well thought through, unless EA doesn't want us to get the items and instead want us to spend donuts on them at the end, for some "great" deal.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I wouldn't be surprised if the plan was to go slow at the start. Push the people who are willing to spend donuts to buy gift bags. Speed things up later so that the rest don't end up being overly upset.

Presents can be moved the same as any other object.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Thanks, I realized that about 10 minutes after posting.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I wouldn't worry about not getting the community prizes. I'm sure the whole thing is manipulated just like every other aspect of the game. They probably want people to freak out and spend donuts on the gift bags. If it looked like we were on pace to get the prizes, no one would spend any donuts.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

Yeah, I'm not worrying about the community prizes. My buying more gift bags isn't going to get us to half a billion very much faster. :lol:

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I heard a rumor that on Christmas Eve, they are unlocking:


At a cost of 120 donuts.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I was wondering, because he is in the character set.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I'm out of gift bags.If you received 2-3 today it means I started at the end of my neighbors today. I ran out yesterday towards the end. After I was out, I just looted the rest of the towns for GC. :lol:

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 

I can usually make it through about 1/3 of my friends list until I run out of presents. Hopefully I can give some to everyone on a regular basis.
