Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I am doing the task where Homer and Lisa are hiding, but I'm not sending them on that task. I'm having all of springfield keep searching for them, to build up a ton of gift cards so I can get more wheel spins.

I think the raccoon is just wandering around your town right away, like any person you unlock would be.

I'll add you when I get home tonight.

I like the terraced effect with the hedges.

Just got my first cash slot. Didn't hit it yet.

The snowmen have bumped up my bonus multiplier, especially the cat. I'm glad to have the extra $ and XP.

Ok guys I've been playing one of my towns without friends, and through doughnuts spend, I have accumulated almost 700 giftbags, so add user snoopyfanz and I'll dump em on you . You can delete me after the event, if you want. Won't offend me. Meanwhile come n get em. I'll deliver max gift cards till I am out.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Almost 77k GCs later, finally done with that damn wheel and can finish the main questline.

Need a break from the game for a few days, but I have about 235 gift bags saved up; sure it will more, so I'll drop them off to those in need during double days at the end of the week.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Three spins = two cash and one ice god. Could be worse, since the ice god is a big bonus. The temple thing isn't on my wheel any more, though, just the other building and the abominable snowman (who, I realized after watching Santa Claus Is Coming to Town last night, is actually from Rudolph--I think I always mess that up ). And speaking of pop-culture references, when I first tapped the elf house, I was wondering why they were "hunting orcs." Not sure how it could have been more obvious.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I've been lucky on the wheel. Not a dud yet. I've got most of the house decorations, several of the statues and a new building today. The skyscraper one.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I messed up my game.. I was Homer and Lisa hiding so that I could keep doing the 8 hour task "look for Simpsons." I was on the second time doing it and carefully tapping around the simpson house.. The phone slipped from my hand just as I was tapping and I hit the Simpson house and ended the task.

I was afraid I'd do that, that's why I have Homer skiing and Lisa doing snow angels.

I'd guess you're referring to gift bags. If you have bags in your inventory, then you can drop them when visiting your neighbors. Each bag will give them a few gift cards.

Chow, I'd be more inclined to add you to the OP if you were a DVDTalk member beyond this one post.

Unless the rest of you would like me to add him/her, anyway, I certainly will. Never thought about someone seeking us out like this before.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Wow! I didn't notice that before! Okay, I'm adding him, I'm adding him!

Also, here's a tip to get more gift cards: when you have to send multiple people to do a task, send everyone or at least many more than the minimum number. Then, when the task is done, tap one less than the minimum and reset them on the task. Pick people like Sideshow Mel and Dr. Hibbert instead of Lisa or Homer or other characters more likely to start up the next task. So for a 12-person task, that's however many people you sent on it, plus 11 more!

Same here. One of them even landed on the abominable snowman just to taunt me.
