Springfield Cleaning[edit]

Springfield Cleaning Pt. 1[edit]

After the user logs in on April 13th and tapping on Homer's exclamation mark: Nothing says Spring has arrived like a BBQ, when we celebrate the rebirth of tiny animals by burning them on open flames. Who could have a problem with that? ... Sorry, Homer. We celebrate every season, equinox and solstice your way! This year we're celebrating Spring my way – with cleaning! Aw, I hate your way of celebrating. If it's not cleaning, it's hanging out with family. Or worse, volunteering for the needy. Why don't the needy ever volunteer for us?!? I deserve a kitchen full of soup! Task: Make Springfielders Endure Marge's Nagging [x5] (6s, Simpson House) If the user has Marge: Task: Make Marge Rally a Springfield Cleaning Crew (6s, Simpson House) If the user has World's Largest Redwood: System Message Reap the rewards of your redwood with the Nature Bundle - now available in the store! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Springfield Cleaning Pt. 2[edit]

After completing Springfield Cleaning Pt. 1: After Marge's motivating words, and a threatening call from my mother, I hereby declare today Springfield Cleaning Day! Ah-hem! Fine, Week. Excellent. I have many rolled up rugs that require immediate, late night recycling. Task: Make Springfielders Clean House [x5] (6h, Brown House) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Springfield Cleaning Pt. 3[edit]

After completing Springfield Cleaning Pt. 2: How can everyone be done already? There is so much more to clean! Have they even disinfected their soap yet? Hey, the town looks great. Look, I even shoveled a path through all this garbage to the empty trashcan. This town is so lazy. It only takes six seconds to clean up nuclear waste, and they can't even do that. We're just tired of it, Mom. Remember the monorail update? For six weeks all anyone in town did was pick up trash. It was heaven! Oh well, more cleaning for me! Task: Reach Level 15 and Build Moe's Tavern Task: Make Marge Clean House [x5] (6h, Brown House) Quest reward: Orange Tree or Apple Tree (50% chance), 100 and 10

Gil Deals[edit]

Wave 1 Gil Deal[edit]

After the user logs in on April 13th: How would you like a house with no skeletons in its closets? Just in the drywall itself. Wow! That house has my name on it! No, I was wrong. Someone spray-painted "MOVE!" on the wall, not "MOE!" Yeah, it's a fixer upper... meaning you'll have to fix it to get it to stay up.

Offer Accepted[edit]

Oh boy! This Spring is really taking off for ol' Gil! A few more sales like this and I can finally get my dignity back from the pawn shop.

Offer Declined[edit]

Fine! Gil doesn't need you. Gil doesn't need anyone. All Gil needs is Gil. And lots of other people. And you. Gil desperately needs you. We're good, right?

Wave 2 Gil Deal[edit]

After the user logs in on April 15th: I'm back with more fun stuff! Spring cleaning is about getting rid of stuff! All you're doing is bringing more junk and it's driving me crazy! But what about something that cleans more than it clutters? Like a Roomba? But writ large! For just a few donuts, I can offer you a professional Street Cleaner!

Offer Accepted[edit]

You're really cleaning up! Just like Gil! No backsies!

Offer Declined[edit]

Looks like ol' Gil won't be bringing anything to the hobo potluck this year. Not that I can ever compete with Toothless Joe's gummed potatoes...

Wave 3 Gil Deal[edit]

After the user logs in on April 17th: Wow! Everyone's finding great stuff at my "yard" sale. If I get enough cash, I can finally get that yard I've always wanted and drop those quotation marks. Great stuff, Gil! Normally I hate shopping but this couch I just bought is perfect! It looks like the one I just threw out. It even has a butt groove that fits my butt like a morbidly obese glove. You don' also have a police gun for sale do you? I mistakenly threw that out as well.

Offer Accepted[edit]

That's how to celebrate Spring Cleaning in Springfield! By adding more stuff to it!

Offer Declined[edit]

C'mon! Give ol' Gil a chance. It's my Buy Two Get Both sale!

Moe's House Placed[edit]

After buying Moe's House: Aw, the judge sent me a restraining order against peeping on people in bushes. And that was my favorite job! Guess it's time for a new hobby.

Black Moe'ld![edit]

After tapping on Moe's exclamation mark: What's this my house is sitting on? It looks like an ancient burial site. That's probably why I've had such bad luck with the ladies!

Liquid brown, lumpy gold! I'm filthy rich! No, just filthy. That ain't oil, son -- you hit a sewage line. I know. And now I can make jenkem! Alright! I've been hankem for some jenkem! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Nature Bundle and Springfield Greenhouse Purchased[edit]

After buying Nature Bundle and Springfield Greenhouse: System Message Congratulations on purchasing the Nature Bundle! Its contents have been added to your inventory. Wow, a greenhouse! Finally after three years of non-stop urban sprawl, someone has come to their senses. Indeed, Electronic Arts HAS come to their senses and finally taken advantage of the tax write-off for "green-friendly" games. Ewwwww! What the heck? This donut tastes like crap! Also the frosting on all Tapped Out donuts will now be made from ethanol.

Greenhouse Asylum[edit]

After tapping on Apu's exclamation mark: Clean the Squishee machine...clean the sponge-brush used to clean the Squishee machine...clean the cleaning solution used to clean the sponge-brush used to clean the Squishee machine...

Greenhouse Asylum Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Boycott the greenhouse! Why are you protesting the greenhouse? You love it.
