Nope. All of her tasks are available except casting wicked spells on Homer!

Maybe put Suzanne's candy house into storage and see if she disappears and Homer comes back?

Maybe he's in Krustyland, that has happened to me before. I forget that I put him in a long task in KL and then I'm like crazy looking for him in SF.

That worked, thank you!

I hadn't considered the possibility Homer was in Krustyland. Didn't look to see if he was hanging out there, though I haven't assigned anyone there in a couple months. Just collecting tickets from the rides and the crowd. Haven't turned them into cash yet, though. Keep thinking they'll say I need them again somehow to build more rides. I have like 150,000+ tickets.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I've joined the giant yellow schlong club!

I cashed in my tiles and have 65 in storage.

I went ahead and bought the snowball cat because it seems the bonus was far and away better than the other similar items.

Kinda disappointed they didn't reuse the house decorations from last year, but I'm restoring them anyway just for fun. Now that I'm doing that, I think the deal was that decorated houses earned whatever item we were trying to collect, but undecorated ones still generated money. It's a bit frustrating that only a few characters can earn GCs so far.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Wow, the white on white lettering of who dropped off gifts in my town is really hard to read.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Is it just me or are the gift bags pretty hard to come by? I have a decent number of friends so I'm trying to drop at least one gift per person to spread it around. Thanks to those who have dropped gift bags in my town as well.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Not that i don't mind dropping off gift bags, but is there any benefit to doing that? With the gremlins, when your friend clicked on it, you got 2 Goo in return.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I think it's supposed to be about encouraging the spirit of giving. If you give someone presents, they're more likely to give them in return.

It would be nice if tapping gcs in other towns would give you some gift bags to drop in other towns.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

An important GC tip for people not donuting through the questlines:

Spoiler:

Parts 10, 11, 14, 15, 16 and 18 of the Too Much of a Good Thing questline are tasks that require you to send 12 to 15 characters to one event.

Send more than required, as many as you can, to gain extra GC, like north of 1000 per task depending on how many characters you have available. That should take a sizable chunk out of some of your personal prizes.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

So, is the only way to decorate houses is thru the Krusty Wheel currently if you don't already have decorated houses?

I think there are community prizes for dropping off gift bags. I think the rate is slow relative to the Halloween update (fewer gift bags received) and it's possible we might not hit the last few prizes.

I'm calling shenanigans. I should have gotten whatever item is before the money. Instead I got $1000. It didn't clear the peg to get to the money section.

Send the screenshot to EA. Also, that drawing of Krusty looks off-model. A little chubby in the muzzle.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I might just do that.. This image shows the prize as well.. so if I were to send the one above, they can't claim I took the picture before it stopped.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Sent the screenshot in a support request that I opened on the Origin site. If the peg landed in the money section, I'd not have an issue.. but as it clearly stopped before the peg, I should get whatever that building is on the prize wheel.. It's on the line..and close to moving to the next section, but didn't... Will see what they say. This is the first time I've had an issue in the game since I started playing.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Looks like the tile glitch still works. At least from the perspective of receiving tons of XP from tapping on a neighbours tile. Not sure if they receive extra tiles for it, but I'm sure if we get extra XP then it works. My tile's not ready yet, so can't confirm that one.

And I don't see why EA wouldn't give you the building when you rightfully won it. It must be some
Kind of kink on their end, but luckily you took screenshots so you have proof.

Re: The Simpsons: Tapped Out

I wish all the gifts just dropped where you place that metal tree. I had to make the buildings invisible to look for any that are hidden behind the buildings. I did think it was funny finding gifts in the water.
