Maybe fun to mention on your blog: in the new loading screen with Homer in his red pants, his right foot is attached to his left leg and vice versa
Found it quite funny myself.
Keep it up with your nice site
I have a question about gamezino.com websight. it was listed in a post on EA simpsons forums. Do you know anything about them or know of anyone that has bought items from them. Is it safe.
They charge you and you give them your login info and they go in your game through a hack mod. I wouldn’t give my info out unless I knew the person plus Tips will absolutely NOT endorse any type of hacking on this site.
There was just an in game update … What changed 22:00 uk time ?
And it looks like they are making the Squeeky Voiced Teen rather uncomfortable
I’ve bought and used as much land as I can possibly buy will i be able to buy more ? Help pls I need more land?
Unless more land gets put out with an update that’s all there is. We just got more land with the Squidport. Other than that, that’s it.
So I went into my New Springfield a few minutes ago because I knew one of my Squidport tiles was ready to be picked up. I noticed that all of my Squidport merchants had “the handshake,” meaning that neighbor-eenos clearly clicked around. I was surprised (in a good way) to find that instead of one tile I had TWO tiles waiting for me. I always place my pier tiles as soon as I get them, so I’m almost 100% sure that I didn’t have one tile waiting for me from yesterday before my tile from today came due. Then again, maybe I made a mistake.
Is that possible? Could neighbors clicking on Squidport now HELP us get tiles faster? I’m not trying to start any rumors or anything — I know others have had pier sections removed (by accident, I hope) by neighbors. Can someone test this theory (again) to see if there’s anything to it? I would LOVE to speed up my pier build without using donuts. Thanks!!
Hi – I hope that’s what’s happening. Are there any reports from anyone else, as I’ve always suspected that this is the way it’s meant to work.
Hi I been trying to send you a screenshot of this thing I have only seen in this one guy town. But I have no clue how to send the link on my phone. Is there a TSTO email I can send the pic to?
Hi – its tstotips@gmail.com
Tips, for some reason when I hit “Reply” to people’s comments my comments go to the top (or the bottom) and they look weird because they are out of context. Am I doing something wrong? Probably…
Hi – it’s been a bit glitch here in the last 24 hlours or so…
I believe I have found a glitch with the Squidport update, there is a way to build your boardwalk without it going up in price and time for every section you build. Once your boardwalk piece is complete it will appear at the entrance of the Squidport, click on it but don’t place it, leave it in your inventory. Click on the entrance to the Squidport and you will notice that your are able to create another boardwalk piece at the same price and time required for the last piece.
How can I get it on my Samsung android ace
Hi Ruby!
Easiest way is to google the simpsons tapped out, the android link should be the first link, as long as your device is compatible it should be as easy as downloading the FREE app and following the easy install guide, may take a total of 10 mins from start to finish, best to use wifi.
Let me know if this works

I guess that you have to have all 16 plank pieces before the game will allow you to progress past Squidport part 11?
Hi – that’s right
The other day I was reading about the 10 donuts from the mystery box disappearing. I want to say it happened to me too. I came in this morning, it was day 5. I received my mystery box and 10 donuts. My game didn’t even crash. I played a while and closed out. When I went back I was being offered another mystery box, this one with a lousy tree in it and the 10 donuts are gone. I believe this is an official glitch. Warning, if you get 10 donuts in the mystery box, spend them immediately or you may not have them.
By now is almost a week and a half got the update, but since have the Itchy and Scratchy store nothing else change, have not any quest to get more buildings or any new character. Why is that, and how long have to wait till get them? . Can see some of the characters in the neighbour towns. Please tell me how and when could get them. Thanks. Feel free to add my id suzyartiga239 .
Hi – store and replace the Itchy and Scratchy Store and it should all restart.
Okay so I’ve just received a pretty serious hand injury helping a damn cat that had been hit by a car so I’m off to the emergency room for a few hours. Luckily it’s not my tapping hand. Pain is pretty severe so I’m hoping to get a new post up for us later if I can. See yas!
Hey Mike
Try to do a little good and looks what happens eh? Dont worry, karma will repay you in time!
Watch out for infection!! Get better soon, and let me know if i can help in any way with your new project!!

Thanks Werdna, means a lot. I’m home now after 20+ needles and rabies vaccine. Good thing I had Tapped Out going at the hospital.
Was there a mouse driving the car?.
Hope it’s not to serious,
I’ve had good luck searching this AWESOME blog for the keyword/tag “DESIGN” to accomplish my Request #2… I would love to see all the “What have you done with” and “What’s your favorite section of your New Springfield” could be in one place. You know, to increase the awesomeness…
Great idea…
Thaks so much, WS! I just bought the Springfield Sign with my Day Old donuts (thanks, Gil!) and integrating the Observatory, Springfield Falls and the “raised area at the foothills of Mt Springfield” (I think I’m going to put the Open Air Stage there) were the result of me shamelessly stealing ideas from 4 or 5 different Spingfields that I have either visited or seen from message boards. That’s my long-winded way of saying: Feel free to duplicate anything you see, because I certainly have!!
I noticed if you take away your board walk your street performers start to perform on your streets.
