The Simpsons: Tapped Out "The Day the Earth Stood Cool" episode tie-in content update
Reports of a seventh content update began on November 29, 2012 when a user of the Tapped Out forums reported that a Christmas-themed Tapped Out logo had appeared on the App Store on the Apple devices. Other users then denied the reports, but then another user posted an image featuring the Christmas logo.
The seventh content update was released on November 30, 2012, and it wasn't a Christmas-themed update - it was an update with a tie-in to "The Day the Earth Stood Cool". The update is 54.5MB. This update removed the ability to buy the Thanksgiving balloons.
Gameplay
Once installing the update, the player receives a notice: "In this Sunday's episode, Springfield gets cool... as will you with the new Cool Brown House!" The player then receives "The Day The Earth Stood Cool Pt. 1", which is to "Build the Cool Brown House". The Cool Brown House is free and requires Level 5. It gives out 
90 and 
10 every 4 hours. The Cool Brown House takes 4 hours to build and the player receives 10 when it has finished building. Once the house has finished building, the player receives 100 and 10 as a reward for completing the quest. The task for the Cool Brown House is "Raising Pretentious Kids". After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
- Homer: Hey, someone remodeled one of the brown houses - and it looks cool! It looks like something from the cover of a magazine I've never heard of. I'm gonna break in and solve this mystery.
- Lisa: There's no mystery. You just want to break in to a nice house.
- Homer: Yeah...
The player then receives "The Day The Earth Stood Cool Pt. 2", which is to "Make Homer Break into the Cool Brown House". The task takes 3 minutes and set on its own, the player receives 6 and 2 in reward. It is a one-time only task. After sending Homer on his task and when he reaches the house:
- Homer: This place is crazy! Furniture from Grampa times! Movie posters from non-Bruce Willis movies! And no TV!
- Lisa: I know -- it's so cool!
- Homer: But there's no TV, Lisa. NO TV!!!
- Lisa: Don't you see, Dad? These people are striving for a more eclectic and artistic existence.
- Homer: Hmm... Maybe I should become a cool parent.
- Lisa: But that would take a lifetime of appreciation of music, art, culture...
- Homer: Or I could dress cool and no one would know the difference.
Homer then disappears inside the house. In reward for the quest, the player receives 100 and 10. The player then unlocks a new character - Cool Homer - and gets 25 for unlocking him. Cool Homer is an 'outfit' for Homer. After tapping "Cool Homer"'s exclamation mark:
- Cool Homer: Check it out. Now I'm 'Cool' bald, not 'sad old' bald. And I've got a scarf, a wallet chain, and a goatee! Why do all my head hairs just grow in twos?
- Lisa: Now you're ready to experience foreign films, art walks, Mumford and Sons...
- Cool Homer: Or, I could just walk around, acting like I'm better than other people.
The player then receives "The Day The Earth Stood Cool Pt. 3", which is to "Make Cool Homer Walk around Acting Superior". The task takes 4 hours and set on its own, the player receives 175 and 45 in reward. The player receives 100 and 10 as the reward for the quest. After tapping on Cool Homer's exclamation mark:
- Cool Homer: Man, all that judging and humble bragging has left me parched.
- Apu: Perhaps I can interest you in an inexpensive and flavorless beer?
- Cool Homer: Could I act like the beer is somehow superior because it's crappy and cheap?
- Apu: As long as you pay for it.
- Cool Homer: Yoink!
The player then receives "The Day The Earth Stood Cool Pt. 4", which is to "Make Cool Homer Enjoy a Duff Blue Ribbon". The task takes 8 hours, and set on its own, the player receives 275 and 70 in reward. The player receives 100 and 10 as the reward for the quest. This ends the "The Day The Earth Stood Cool" tetralogy
