Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

that button to find each character is fucking awesome. not quite the "send all on 12 hour tasks" but this will do.

They still haven't fixed the "crash when you visit Krustyland" bug.

Okay I have all the personal items now, most of them are in my Christmas area which is near the top middle of the town. If anyone wants to take a look I'm rockscissors.

Just in case anyone was wondering, when you visit a neighbor, if you don't tap on the GC, you won't receive credit. You will receive the money, I think, but no the GC credit.

Yeah.. its really nice.. almost what I wanted.... but it will do.. I really like the "go to next town" when in a friends town.

Makes it easier to go between friends towns.

I'm starting to regret putting everyone on 24 hour tasks and visiting all my neighbors this morning.

Ugh.. so you can only drop gift bags on towns that you have actions in? I just got the 5 gift bags available to give out, but I can't give any out as I have already visited everyone today..

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

The character finder is nice but I would have preferred a separate task book where you could scroll to find the exact character you want.

You can drop gift bags at any time.

You can't drop them on neighbors who haven't updated. Check in towns where people have collected GC.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I like the new feature that finds everyone. When you go through it and assign jobs and go to the next character, it scrolls to the job with a similar time as the one before, so it's much quicker to assign everyone tasks now.

They seem to have made it very difficult to get gift bags. I went through 30 plus neighbours and didn't find one gift bag. Unless there's another way to get them?

And I believe the ability to drop gift bags unlocks shortly after a few tasks in the new update.

If you buy/receive the Elf House, they seek out gifts for you.

Wish I'd thought to check here or Topic before I got the update. Not only did I lose my tiles, I lost all the building cash and completed task cash waiting for me to tap. Everyone was on 12-hour tasks. Also, it won't let me build more Squid port tiles. It says I've reached capacity. Didn't know that existed! Anyone else?

Will start making the rounds tomorrow.

Yup, there's a capacity for the tiles. Not sure of the number though.

Prior to the glitch, I think it was in the range of 150 tiles. With the glitch it was 400-plus, but I think only about 380-some-odd could actually fill all the water plots.

----

On an X-mas note, seeing better of payout of Gift Bags, appears similar, but maybe a little less than Gremlins were.

And, I can't find a concrete answer, but does the Prize Wheel mini-game unlock after the Egg Nog Bar gives up its first coin?

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I have a big problem. Homer is missing. Whenever I select the option to send Homer on his first Christmas-related task, it finds Suzanne the Witch. Homer is just plain gone.

Ideas? How does one go about contacting EA about this one?
