Tapped Out Quest Information
|
Happy Thanksgiving is a temporary questline in The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It was introduced in the Thanksgiving 2013 content update.
Dialogue
Pt. 1
After the player logs into their game on November 28th, 2013 (Thanksgiving Day 2013)
|
Message
|
Happy Thanksgiving! Most people celebrate with turkey, but we're celebrating with donuts.
|
Reward: 3
|
|
Pt. 2
After completing Pt. 1
|
|
Oh my God! We got three donuts just because of what day it was?
|
|
I wonder if we could reset the clock on our device, then when the machine thinks it becomes today again, we'll get another three donuts!
|
|
Wouldn't that be cheating?
|
|
No, cheating is when you press a bunch of buttons and get unlimited ammo. This is hacking!
|
Task: "Make Homer Reset the Clock on his myPad". The job takes 8 hours.
|
|
That took you a long time, Dad. Normally when you play with your myPad it's just for a couple seconds.
|
|
I know, but I get confused when I have to go into the settings menu. What the hell is a DHCP? And how much is it costing me to lease it?
|
|
The good news is I was able to reset the clock. Now the game will think it's Thanksgiving again in 3...

Message
|
Happy Thanksgiving! Most people celebrate with turkey, but we're celebrating with donuts.
|
|
Woo-hoo!
|
Reward: 3
|
|
Pt. 3
After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
|
|
I can't believe that trick worked. Now we can get unlimited donuts!
|
|
But Dad, that would be unethical. Besides, wouldn't it ruin the fun of the game?
|
|
The fun of always having to wait 24 hours? The fun of not being able to afford things?
|
|
The fun of not being able to grow crops because my corn still needs 50 days?
|
|
Screw fun -- I'll take the unlimited donuts.
|
|
And more importantly, I can post a video of me doing it on the Internet and get like a zillion views!
|
|
Finally people will realize I'm a genius at computering!
|
Task: "Make Homer Post his Hack on the Internet". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 60 minutes.
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 4
After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark the 29th November
|
|
Wow Dad, your "How to get Unlimited Donuts" video is getting a lot of hits.
|
|
I know. Move over "Puppy on a Piano" -- there's a new Most Watched Video in town!
|
|
I'm an Internet celebrity... and that never goes away!
|
|
The only problem is, the popularity of your video is sure to attract the attention of EA.
|
|
Uh...
|
|
I bet they can put out a patch that fixes that problem pretty quickly.
|
|
Uh...
|
|
In fact, I bet they're doing it right now.
|
|
AUGHHH!!! Where's my myPad?! I've got to get my donuts!
|
Task: "Make Homer Reset the Clock on his myPad". The job takes 45 seconds.
|
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 5
|
Hey folks, Thanksgiving's over! Which means it's a salesman's favorite of days... Black Friday.
|
|
Oh no, they fixed my hack. And even worse, Gil's here. I hate this stupid game!
|
|
There's probably a lesson to be learned in here about cheating.
|
|
There sure is. If you do it, don't post it online until you've fully exploited it for yourself.
|
|
That's not what I meant.
|
|
I wonder if I could have still selected "Reset the Clock" from my job list when my quests was "Post Hack on the Internet"?
|
|
Behind the Laughter
The following dialogue was cut, and replaced with the above questline:
Message
|
We've been saving this here succulent slice of turkey for someone exactly like you!
|
|
*COUGH* ... pardon me?!
|
Message
|
I mean, these complimentary donuts. But they look a little bit like turkey if you squint hard enough...
|
|
Much better. Happy Thanksgiving!
