I've got the first two items on the reward track (And nearly the third), the big casino from level 3 crafting. Just working on the plane now.

I'm really disappointed with crafting. I have already crafted everything and there's nothing but trash left to spend the materials on. Where's my unlimited houses so I can expand my farm?

I've rearranged my casino stuff into a proper casino district so I'm looking forward to having enough crafting materials left to craft all the little stuff to make it look better. It seems this act we're getting crafting materials in almost every game too.

Just got Gabbo, crafted everything already. I guess just get some bonus donuts now. I wish there was better stuff to craft.

I'm 10k chips away from Gabbo and I've done all the crafting. I'm just making fountains and stars now with what I have.

It looks like it was balanced to be too hard during the first act and then went too far the other way during act 2 making act 3 a pushover. I don't normally finish events this quickly.

Good fun event though with a set of nice buildings.

New mini-event started last night. Firemen Brigade starring Homer, Moe, Apu and Skinner based on the episode "Crook and Ladder".

Surprised there hasn't been a post about the new event starting!

I'm a few days behind. During the Casino event I was able to get some play time in at work, but these past few weeks have been brutally busy

I think I'm going to like this event. Does anyone else have the bug where dirt will only place over the top of existing roads?

The Western event started. Thank goodness, the spring cleaning event was way too short and only had a short questline.

Oh, oops.

I thought that 'spring cleaning' thing was the event... guess it was just a quick few quests.


EDIT: Oh baby, those QOL improvements to completing quests is great.

That was an enjoyable and undemanding phase 1. I love the QOL improvements too. Being able to cycle around the map with a single tap finishing quests makes that side of things a joy now.

I dunno about anyone else but I'm more inclined to buy doughnuts when the events aren't outright abusive (See Marvel Avengers Academy for more details). So EA have been winning me lately.

I got started a day late and missed a day or two so I didn't get all the rewards. :(

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Is there another use for pickaxes that I missed? I have 11,000 that I can't do anything with because I don't have any hats.

That seems like a crazy disparity. Didn't you switch things up in your Town Plaza by having your characters all earning hats instead of pickaxes?
I'm never in a situation where my stockpiles vary by more than a few hundred or so.

So a good thing about the event, is a lot of the quests have that complete for free option when the timer gets low enough. Did it for quite a bit for the Wes Doobner questline.

Unlocked all the prizes in Act 2 and I got Princess. Lisa's so happy!

That's a nasty bug. It seems the new system for levelling is you can go all the way up to level 939 and get 1 doughnut for each level (Events and mini events seem to be the new way of delivering content). The problem is the xp needed to level after you get your first level after hitting 60 is set to 40k xp. Some people got lucky and power levelled their way to loads of free doughnuts. Some got caught by the bug and now can't log in.

Be careful out there folks

I've been failing hard at this event. :(

Seems to be pretty strict on the needing to check in and set your tasks every 4 hours.

Bought Sneed's Feed & Seed (Formerly Chuck's) just for the lulz.

This has been a pretty good event. Lots of rewards for not much work.
 
Take down update is a go:

"The duels are done and even the ghosts have left this ghost town. With everyone settling back to normal, what could be next for Springfield? A suped-up sequel? A new take on an origin story? An ominously foreshadowing political thriller? We’re not sure yet because Gary accidentally took his work computer on vacation. Not cool Gary!

New characters, new buildings and new stories are coming soon!

Stay tuned!"

Superheroes sequel event on the slate?
 
New in-game update dropped a while ago: Chili Cook-Off mini event!

Like the fire department event this one is done in phases with characters earning Insanity Peppers. Homer starts, some of his pals help out.

Missed the steel mill or Devil Flanders, they're in the shop along with the Coyote from the same episode. I'm tempted, especially with all the level-up donuts I'm getting.

I might spring for the coyote if I can get enough donuts by then.

Moved this over to Bluestacks, seems to play better than on the phone. Quite enjoying the chilli mini event going at the moment.

Since I've finished all the chillie stuff I'm sat at my Mac with the iPad open in front of me grinding out Springfield Heights currency while listening to Jeff and Alex from Giant Bomb along with Danny from Gamespot drive to E3. I'm also eating almonds.

It's very relaxing.
 
New update is out: Superheroes II!

Font and music from last year's event are back. Also has shades of the Tap Ball event. Ends in six weeks.

One problem I`m having.

I`m far enough through the story that it`s unlocked all my previous super heroes for use in battles. They`re either three or two star. However all the fights are now four and five star meaning that if you don`t have the IAP healing items you can`t win.

Also we`re getting Stretch Dude and Clobber girl later.
 
After bouncing quite hard off the Wild West event (The Simpsons really doesn't have enough Wild West to make that seem worthwhile, and I hated the fiddliness of the systems), I'm really enjoying the Superheroes event. The fighting mechanic has at least a little depth to it, and it's crammed full of content.
