Same with me, 79 more days until I can complete the moonshine task. If I were coding this game I would write a little joke in here where say a day or two before the corn is ready the moonshine mission expires and a little message comes up something like

Mission Expired Reward 10 Donuts Expired, something like that to mess with people.

Also looking to add one more friend, someone at or below level 15. Friend request BenCree please.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Small three-part, Super Bowl-themed questline launched today.

Homer and Lisa kick things off -- The Duff Racer* for in-game cash (originally a freebee back in September 2012) and the Duff Party Bus* for donuts are back, but no new characters or buildings.

*If you already have those items, nothing new for you, as the you can only buy one of each apparently.

Check back this weekend for a second, two-part SB questline.
Spoiler:
There will be a free payoff at the of end of that questline: a new Duff Blimp, not one with Barney's face that was available in May 2013, and *maybe* some donuts. Hmmm, premium currency.

^Last night I decided to set everyone on 24-hour tasks instead of my usual 8-hour.

They did something somewhat similar with the quest on Thanksgiving where Homer resets the clock on his myPad to get more free donuts.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out



So I had two donuts on the right side of the next level bonus,
this should mean that the three donuts were in the middle and next time will be on the far left?

So, you don't know if the three donuts where in the middle or the left?

I just started playing this today. Add me if you like, my user name is Asmodeusvice. I'm only at level 8 and have a really small town. I could use all the help I can get.

No idea, because I didn't spend the extra money to find them.


I wonder how across I can get the tile handshakes.

Wow, you really are hard up for cash if that's more valuable than donuts. Depends on what you're trying to build, I guess.

Yeah, I kept figuring out why everyone was invited but him, but then I thought about it for a second.

Not so much anymore since I planted blue houses all over the place.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I am ready for the Valentine's update. I started playing in March of last year, apparently right after the Valentine's event ended. Looking forward to Valentine's 2014 event.

The pressure inside your screen must be enormous. Eventually, they'll bust through the glass and put your eye out.

Y'know, after I posted that, I wondered if it was because

I hadn't taken the blimp out of inventory, figuring it was the same Duff blimp that I already had (which it is not).

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

This time my next level donut bonus gave me two on the far left side, previously it was the far right side.

So I did buy the donut box in the middle and it had the three donuts so next time it should be on the far right side?

The 3-donut box moves one spot to the left after each level update. If it was in the middle this time, it will be on the LEFT next time.

How I keep track is simple. I bought a trash can and have placed it in front of the Simpson's house. I put the can on either the left, in the middle, or on the right-hand edge of the property (along the curb, of course) to mark where the triple-donut will be next time. Last time for me the donuts were in the right-hand box, so my trash can is now centered in front of the house.

Can't remember where I read that idea, but it's been working great for me so far. I've been 4-for-4 ever since I started tracking using my trash can marker.
