The Simpsons: Tapped Out All This Jazz content update/Gameplay

Burning Bridges

After the user logs in on September 23rd: Wow, Dad. I've never seen you read an actual newspaper before. Oh, this? This is just a large-print — wait, it IS a newspaper! Let's see... *reading* "Explosion at Nuclear Plant", "Serial Killer on the Loose"... Ooh, here's something: "Plans Unveiled For New CostMo"! How many more CostMos do we need in Springfield? I can see three from our window right now. Yeah, but to make room for this one, they get to finally tear down that dumb memorial bridge. No! Not the Springfield Memorial Bridge! Oh, I'm sure they'll build a new bridge somewhere to memorialize the old one. But they can't tear it down! It was Bleeding Gums Murphy's favorite spot to play his saxophone. It's where we first met. Look Lisa, nobody likes that bridge. It's ugly and it doesn't do that cool thing where it lifts up to let giant boats pass under it. Because of those two things, it deserves to go. Ugh, why am I wasting my time talking to you when I can be wasting my time talking to the mayor! *storms out* *flips page* Man, newspapers got weird. No sports section, and twelve pages of obituaries? Task: Make Lisa Go Straight to the Mayor (30s, Town Hall, Court House or Brown House) Task: Make Homer Read More of His Newspaper (30s, Simpson House or Brown House) Look, Miss Not-Old-Enough-To-Vote-Yet, CostMo is my biggest political donor. That's your argument? Well, yeah. Plus, that bridge doesn't do that cool thing where it lifts up— ...to let boats pass under it. Yeah, I know... Well, then I'm glad we agree. The bridge is set to detonate this Sunday. But Springfield Memorial Bridge is a historic landmark! It is? Shoot! Our laws forbid historic landmarks from being destroyed. Oh, I just meant, you know... historic to me. Ok, I don't have time for your nonsense anymore. Plus, I have a three o'clock tennis lesson with my mistress. Today we're practicing our ground strokes. Wait, what if I can raise enough money to repair the bridge? Would you agree to move the CostMo somewhere else? Fine. If you can raise a million dollars by the end of the week, then I'll save the bridge. But it only costs half of that to repair it. The rest is, er-uh, a campaign donation. Ok, whatever it takes to save the bridge. But in the future, you really should be more covert about your bribes and kickbacks. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Song and Dance

Song and Dance Pt. 1

After completing Burning Bridges: Mr. Palmer? Mr. Le Marquez? I'm not sure if you remember me, but... How could we forget the younger sister of jazz maestro Tic Tock Simpson! The Skinny Palmer Trio hasn't been the same since we lost Tic Tock. Now we're just the *sobbing* Skinny Palmer Duo. I don't care if you're a duo or trio or even an ensemble! They're tearing down Springfield Memorial Bridge to build a CostMo! Bleeding Gums Murphy's favorite saxophonin' spot?! But that bridge represents all things jazz in Springfield. Our only hope is raising enough money to fix the bridge...and to bribe the mayor. How much are we talkin'? Well, a "Save The Bridge Jazz Benefit Concert" could do the trick. You find the venue, and we'll provide the music. I feel like the third member of the trio! Well, give us some saxophone, then. *plays saxophone* Maybe next year. Task: Collect Vinyl Records [x125] Task: Make Lisa Find a Venue for the Benefit Concert (4h, Duff Stadium, Basketball Stadium, Springfield Hyperstadium, Jazzy Goodtime's, The Jazz Hole, Cletus's Farm or Brown House) Ah, yeah. Take the G-train, baby. Groovetone! Who are you talking to? Oh, didn't you hear? Your old man is getting the band back together. We are what happens when jazz meets funk, then ditches funk for ROCK! You know, we could come sing at your concert thingamajig... Oh, yeah...but all the money goes to save that bridge you hate, so... Well, I'm starting to warm up to that bridge. Ugh, your weird Dad-band can't play. What about during sound check? Fine. Woo-hoo! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Song and Dance Pt. 2

After completing Song and Dance Pt. 1: Lisa, this venue is the size of two Superdomes. You realize that the jazz community in Springfield is extremely small. Since Tic Tock left, our fan base probably couldn't fill a garage, let alone this. Two car or four car garage? When someone says "garage", you imagine a four car garage? Check your privilege. Fine, we'll just have the concert at Jazzy Goodtime's. But even then, how am I going to get enough fans to buy tickets? Marbles, are you thinking what I'm thinking? I don't know what you're thinking, but I'm excited! I'm thinking that promoting the concert is not our problem! *low fiving* Outta sight! Groovay, groovay! Okay...well, I'm going to go off by myself and find some people in town who appreciate jazz. Let us know when you've given up. I liked them better when they were a trio. Task: Collect Vinyl Records [x125] Task: Make Lisa Promote the Jazz Benefit Concert (4h, Town Hall, Court House, Simpson House or Brown House) If the user has Skinny Palmer: Task: Make Skinny Palmer Recruit Jazz Musicians for the Concert (4h, Springfeild Retirement Castle, Springfield Elementary or Brown House) *playing saxophone* Jazz lovers of Springfield! I hope you are enjoying these cool jazz stylings. If you'd like to hear more, come to the "Save The Bridge Jazz Benefit Concert" this Friday night! I'd rather read the YA vampire book my son's writing! Really? I'd love to hear your thoughts. Does it end with the heartthrob vampire teaming up with the humans to take on all the "evil" vampires? *gulps* Am I that predictable? Ugh, at this rate, no one's going to buy a ticket. All right, my next song is "Fly Me to The Moon". *plays saxophone* Boo! I'm trying to have a nice day out with my family and your jazz-noise is ruining it! Even my Dad is booing me... Bleeding Gums Murphy, if you're listening, I need all the jazz powers you can summon. *plays saxophone* Save it for KJAZZ! *getting idea* KJAZZ, that's it! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Song and Dance Pt. 3

After completing Song and Dance Pt. 2: This is KJAZZ radio and you're listening to "Moleman in the Morning". Sponsored by the Piano Tuners Union — When We Strike, We Strike A Chord. Today, I am joined by Lisa Simpson and the Skinny Palmer Duo for some "Bebop Banter". Now, Lisa. I hear through the groovy grapevine that you're putting on a little jazz concert? That's right! We're raising money for— Lisa, I've got this one... Folks, Moleman, jazzos and jazzettes, we got a couple cool cats bluesin' down a hot groove this fresh and funky Friday over at Jazzy Goodtime's. Yeah and it's all to benefit— They're gonna be layin' licks smooth and sultry, poppin' off the top of the bebop, hittin' the drop, nonstop. And when we hit the refrain, you will be transported to the jazz promised land. Well, you heard it here first, listeners. It's gonna be a hot show on Friday over at Jazzy Goodtime's! We'll be back with more "Moleman in the Morning" after a short break. Catch you on the B-side.

Skippity bah-dop, doo-diddly bebop, doo-bopparang-a-bah-dop-dop-diddly-bepop... Are we ever going to talk about the benefit concert?! We're raising money to repair Springfield Memorial Bridge in memory of Bleeding Gums Murphy! Well, why didn't you say so? Excuse me, can I finish now? Doo-wop, bippity-bop! And I'm done. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Song and Dance Pt. 4

After completing Song and Dance Pt. 3: I can't believe every single person who called into the radio show asked to see Tic Tock Simpson. Except for that one guy who just breathed heavily into the phone for a while. That was weird. No, I called about him too. Just froze up when they put me "on air". Was Bart really that good? He's one of the best ten-year-old drummers I've ever played with. *sigh* I think I'm gonna regret this... Regret what? Are you talking to us? Task: Collect Vinyl Records [x125] Task: Make Lisa Ask Tic Tock to Come Out of Retirement (4h, Simpson House or Brown House) Bart, I don't want some long drawn-out negotiation, but...I need your help. You do all my chores for six months. You don't even know what I was going to ask. Something lame I'm sure. It isn't lame! It's for a good cause! Good cause? Make it a year of chores. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Song and Dance Pt. 5

After completing Song and Dance Pt. 4: Lisa, this benefit concert is really hoppin'! I can feel the doo-woppity-bah-bops in my soul. Blind Willie Witherspoon is almost done playing his set. Hoo-dog, that cat knows his way around an umbrella. But we're almost to the end of the acts and we haven't made nearly enough money. It's time to bring in the big guns. And by guns, I mean Bart. Alright, Bart. You ready to give the people what they want? I'm not Bart. I'm Tic Tock "Skippity Bop" Simpson. *groan* Task: Collect Vinyl Records [x125] Task: Make Tic Tock "Skippity Bop" Simpson Give the People What They Want (4h, Jazzy Goodtime's, The Jazz Hole, Cletus's Farm or Brown House) Task: Make Lisa Resent Bart's Innate Musical Talent (4h, Jazzy Goodtime's, The Jazz Hole, Cletus's Farm or Brown House) *drum solo* Wow, he really is good. Boo! Boo! Boo! You suck! Why is everyone booing? They're all specifically here for Tic Tock Simpson. Boo! We want TikTok Simpson! But...this IS Tic Tock Simpson! No, TikTok Simpson! From that TikTok video where he did the funny dance! *gasp* That's what you were asking for? *chanting* DO THE DANCE! *chanting* DO THE DANCE! *chanting* DO THE DANCE! Lisa, if I do the dance, then you have to add another year of chores! This better work! *does the dance* Woo! Now I can empty my wallet and donate to save the bridge! Yay! Take our entire allowances! You don't have allowances! I guess it is for charity though. The original TikTok video was better. But since I'm here, I might as well donate! Quest reward: 100 and 10

When the Moon Hits Your Eye

After completing Song and Dance Pt. 5: Well, I suppose people still don't "get" jazz. But at least we raised enough money to repair the bridge. And you did a beautiful job, Lisa. *gasp* Bleeding Gums Murphy?! But...I thought you were— Dead? Lisa, I may be gone, but I'm not dead. What do you mean? Well, do you still think about me when you pass this bridge? Of course I do. Well, then there you go. I'm not dead as long as this bridge exists. *plays saxophone* Want to join? *plays saxophone* I think we make an awesome duo. Quest reward: 200 and 20
