I like the Family Guy game, but i don't like the Facebook neighbor policy ( I will never have any neighbors!) I also like to play on my iPad and my iPhone but when I play on both devices each device has it's own game!

I'll give it a couple weeks though.

update today. Cremo bot for 30 donuts gives you .75% xp bonus. You need Lisa and/or Homer free to start a task. Also I now have a level 7 friendship point thing where I have to reach 3000 friend points, not sure if there is a prize at the end.

Edit: looks like you get the Capital City Goofball(sports mascot)

It looks like the next update will be an Easter update instead of whacking day. Someone posted a picture of the new splash screen which shows Homer in an Easter bunny costume.

Now I get to find out how responsive Tinyco customer support is. Every time I open that game I get a character level-up screen that can't be bypassed. Reinstalled but the level-up screen came back as soon as I reconnected to my account.

The new maximum FP level is giving me $108 per action. I'll be rich pretty soon. The prize

Capital City Goofball has no tasks.

Really getting in to the Family Guy game, lots of stuff to do even more than the Simpsons. It looks like it is much easier to earn Clams than it is Donuts but I guess only time will tell.

Only the stupid Facebook friend requirement is holding me back right now.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
Turns out that my Family Guy glitch is caused by the Facebook integration. They say they're temporarily suspending the social aspect. Might last a week or two. The last time I played, I could still visit my neighbors. I crashed over and over though. At least I can get back into the game again.

A lot of players have been creating fake Facebook accounts. Show character names and pictures. The Facebook account is for visiting and playing on multiple devices. If you only want the multiple device capability, you can also sign in with Google+ or create an ID. I assume that last option works through signing up with an email address through TinyCo's servers.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
I'm hoping the Family Guy game gets better. It has a lot of little annoyances. For example, you can only build one building at a time unless you're willing to spend clams for more workers. Most of the time when I log in, a screen comes up to ask me if I want to buy a premium item. The thing I hate the most is the items you have to collect to unlock the characters. I had to send my characters on the same tasks three times before I got the jewels for Bruce.

Regarding the Family Guy game - can you build roads? I can't seem to add on to the roads, and have lots of buildings in the middle of grass areas

Hold your finger on any building for a few seconds. In addition to now being able to move buildings, there is a button in the top left corner for roads.

Take this family guy discussion elsewhere.

FG is growing on me.
Fb sign in seems to have started working again.

Still no way to add people outside of fb and google+..?

Update Today — App store download needed:
Easter 2014 Event

  3. Easter Tree
  4. Easter Stone/Iron Fence

<br>

  10. Shary Bobbins (taskable, with quest line)
  11. Hugs Bunny (taskable, with quest line)
<br>
Quest line spoiler
  1. Spoiler:
    Naturally-occurring Faberge Egg (same as the 100 donut one, just win-able at the end of the quest line by zapping bunnies)
    <br><br>
  1. Easter Banner -- $12,000
  2. Easter Parade Float -- $15,000<br><br>
  1. Crazy Cat Lady's House with Crazy Cat Lady -- 180 donuts (taskable, with quest line)
  2. Faberge Egg -- 100 donuts
  3. Sumatran Century Flower -- 40 donuts
  4. Frinkthetic Egg Generator Mark II -- 75 donuts (generates 300 pink eggs every 24 hours)
  5. Mojo, The Helper Monkey -- 65 donuts (non-taskable, so pray for Mojo)
  6. Fireworks, Candy and Puppies Store -- 60 donuts
  7. Frinkthetic Egg Generator Mark I -- 40 donuts (generates 75 blue eggs every 12 hours -- get one free during the quest line)
  8. Kang and Kodos Topiaries -- 15 donuts each (0.50% multiplier)
  9. Pink or Blue Egg Basket -- 10 donuts each (get at least one of each free during the event when zapping bunnies)




If there's no price (in-game $$$ or donuts) listed above it's an awarded or earned item. Set up is similar to other events with locked boxes, but instead of the Wheel, each box, regardless of color, is 500 eggs and random.

Some general game tweeks: Buying and placing an item shows its cost, time remaining displayed for tasks in the task book, XP collection is quicker on purchases and when buying and placing multiple of an item (think trees, fences) they now step-and-place right next to one another.

FP Update: FPs can now be earned from clearing handshakes in town, not just graffiti. It does count against your 10-5-4-2-1 daily levels.

New carrot growing task added to Cletus' Farm.

All items limited, should end in wee hours of May 13. *There is a Gold Egg portion that unlocks on May 8, likely changing the odds of some prizes.*<br><br><br>

I have no idea where I am going to put all this stuff. I guess my river is going to have to go.

I like the new change with the task book. When you click on one of the icons, you now see how long each character has left to complete their task.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
step-and-place items is sweet.

24 hour tasks to kick this off with no easter items available yet. 5 more hours until apu is free.

Make sure to check your settings as it appears that the update turns off the doughnut spending notification.

Everything that I am reading suggests that they got rid of the prize wheel, but replaced it with an even more convoluted randomized system.

Why can't they just give us some more land? With all these new buildings and decorations, where am I supposed to put them?

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
 
Ah, so I take it the whole Whacking Day dialogue before Homer, Willie, and Apu went on their 24-hour tasks is a clever ruse meant to deflect from the Easter update, yes?

Beware of the baskets... holy cow! I don't mind giving away eggs, but only after I have claimed all my prizes!
