How many probes to get the machine? I'm about 200 probes away from the mutant peacock. Then I see there are 4 or 6 more bags before the machine is the active goal.

Supposedly the donut machine will be available in the craft shop if you don't get enough probes. This says it'll cost 200 fences, 500 candy corn, and 500 chocolate bars, so plan accordingly.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
How are folks getting so many probes? I've been playing twice daily to send all of the kids out trick-n-treating (I can't do that EVERY 8 hours, I have to work/sleep) and have been clearing all of the aliens and launching gremlins into neighbor towns every time. I'm not even up to the Peacock yet.
What painfully obvious thing am I not doing that all y'all ARE doing to get so many probes?

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
I'm getting close to Hugo. Is that just a Bart skin?
I "got" that and couldn't find it in my inventory. So it doesn't really exist?
I'm around 6000 probes without getting the license. I probably send the kids trick-or-treating twice a day, and I think I have nine of them. I do check the game every three or four hours, and there are always a lot of aliens to clear, though I'm not sure how often they regenerate.

every 8 hours and barely have 3k probes.
I have friends who have over 10k. I don't get it.
Don't want to say people are cheating but I think poeple are getting these probes due to having a ton of donuts from previous things going on in their game.
I rarely have any rockets to send out to kill the saucer and lucky if I have 6 aliens to drop off in their towns.

I should have the doughnut machine tomorrow, I have all 17 characters that can go trick or treating, and the license. But clearing the aliens every 4 hours is a great way to get probes.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
I try to pop into my town every 3 or 4 hours to pop the aliens in my town. The last few days of visiting people I had 8 shells to shoot down UFOs and 6 of those gave me 50 probes, so that helped.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
I'd think Hugo would be his own character instead of a skin for Bart. I mean, there are two characters in the show, right?
I just earned the Peacock and I don't know if I'll get the donut machine. No idea what I could do to earn more probes. Tap every four hours, I guess, but do we know how often they regenerate? What does the license actually do? Why can't someone just tell me these things so I don't have to Google it?!

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
The license gets you two probes per tap in friends cities for up to 180 a day instead of the 90. When I log in each time I seem to have quite a few aliens roaming around. I don't bother to hunt them all down.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
I think those are all I have, though Kearney (who I bought by accident) is also 16 hours. There's also Database ordering bags online. The rest must be premium characters, like the creepy twins.

Marge does if you have the witch skin. Hers is a 16 hour task. Same with Shauna and Sherri & Terri. I think Uter is supposed to, but I don't have him.
I got Hugo a day or two ago and the donut torture device this morning.
Are the trick or treat rewards changing with the next phase? I'm unsure if I'll be able to unlock The Grand Pumpkin.

There will be other trick or treat rewards but you will still be able to get the grand pumpkin and Hugo. You will also be able to use the trick or treat rewards to get the doughnut torture machine later on if you don't unlock it by the 20th.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
Got Hugo and the donut machine thing yesterday!
I assume the probes we're continuing to earn will help us with the second round of prizes but I haven't cashed out all off my bags just in case.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
I'll be lucky to get the donut machine tomorrow night but I think it's perhaps unlikely. I'm only at 4700 probes and I'm maxed out on friends' towns until late tomorrow night. Would tap you all earlier, but we're going to Pearl Jam.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
Also, does anyone else find themselves having inappropriate thoughts about Shauna in her devil costume?

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out
I've about 2000 probes away from the donut machine. I don't know if I'll make it.
I did notice some new (returning) premiums, like witch Marge and Devil Flanders with Heckhouse.
