The first content update

On September 21, 2012, the first content update was released for the game. The new level 21 was introduced - bringing a new building and character, as well as bringing several new 'decorations'. Also, the character Kearney was introduced as a Premium character (a character that is bought in-game with donuts). Level 12 also came for new players with a new building - the Springfield Library - which a player could build after the character Bart Simpson is notified that he may have to repeat the fourth grade by Seymour Skinner and that he must study. The library's first visitors are Bart and Martin (a new character unlocked when the library is built), who study for a 'meaningless' test. Finally, the Springfield Observatory was made available as a premium item. The update was 40.3 MB.

The second content update

A Wicked Treat Box, which costs

2.

The second content update (version 3.0.0.) was available to download on October 3, 2012. This was a huge update, introducing new Halloween characters and buildings. Players are now able to squish zombies after building the Springfield Cemetery, TP and egg friends' houses, and unlock new Halloween quests. Also, new objects have been released: a Pylon, a Gas Pump, a Patio Table, a See-Saw and a Stop Sign - all of which are unlocked on the new level introduced in the update - Level 22. Edna Krabappel's apartment block and Edna are available to unlock in the new level 22, after completing the quest "Staff Needs".

The player needs to be on Level 5 to unlock the Halloween features. Once the Mayan calendar has been completed, the Mayan God asks the player a question - if the player answers correctly they get Mayan Homer and 10 donuts, but if they answer incorrectly they don't get 10 donuts. A clue to the answer is in the season 24 episode "Treehouse of Horror XXIII".

If you complete the Treehouse of Horror XXIII character collection, which consists of the Mayan God, the Talking Krusty Doll, Kang, Burns Monster and the Raven, you get 1,000 and 20.

The Halloween features were available until early November, between November 5, 2012 and November 8, 2012 - and until that date, Mystery Boxes were Wicked Treat Boxes.

Despite the Treehouse of Horror Update Guide in the game listing the date of October 31, 2012 for when the Treehouse of Horror event will last until, the update's content was still in the game between November 5, 2012 and November 8, 2012.

As of the fourth content update, characters are no longer able to go on Halloween quests with the exception of Halloween characters, such as Kang, and costumes, such as Witch Marge, though they now earn cash instead of treats.

Gameplay

200px

Once the player has got the Halloween update:

Homer: Halloween is coming! Let's crank up the "spooky" factor around here by building the Springfield Cemetery!

Lisa: There's a lot more important things to build first.

Homer: I'll be frank. We're all living inside buildings I, Homer Simpson, built in less than a day. Pretty soon we're gonna need somewhere to put dead bodies.

Lisa: Excellent point.

The player then receives the quest "Dial 'Z' for Zombies Pt. 1", which is to "Build Springfield Cemetery". The Springfield Cemetery is free, and takes only six seconds to build. The reward for the quest is 1, 5. After this:

Lisa: Zombies are pouring out of the cemetery!

Homer: Think! What kills zombies -- silver bullets? Garlic? Me relaxing in my hammock?

Lisa: The best method is squishing them with an enormous sky-finger.

Homer: Where, oh where, will we ever find one of those????

The player then receives the quest "'Dial 'Z' for Zombies Pt. 2", which is to "Squish Zombies" - ten. During zombie squishing, a Mysterious Artifact is found. Once the player presses "Place":

Lisa: That's weird. That zombie was holding some sort of ancient STONE ARTIFACT. I wonder why?

Homer: Why do zombies do anything? For money, that's why.

Lisa: Uh, I'm pretty sure all zombies care about is eating brains.

Homer: You need to hang out with a higher class of zombie.

Zombie: Watch October 7 Treehouse of Horror episode --

The player then places the artifact. After doing so, a quest pops up, "The Secret of the Mayans", which is to "Find and Place Mysterious Artifacts" - because the player has already placed one, it is listed as "1/2". Continuing to squish zombies, the player finds another Mysterious Artifact. Placing it, the player has completed the quest given, and receives 1 and 5.

Homer: Another ARTIFACT! And look -- it fits together with the first one!

Lisa: Dad, I think these are pieces of the Mayan Long Count Calendar! But why?

Homer: Stay tuned for the answers, everybody!

Zombie: Complete calendar. Watch October 7 Treehouse of Horror episode.

The player then receives the second part of the quest, "The Secret of the Mayans Pt. 2", which is to "Find and Place Mysterious Artifacts". The quest requires the player to find and place 3 artifacts, and the player has already found and placed 2 of them at this point. The player squishes the rest of the zombies and gets the reward for "'Dial 'Z' for Zombies Pt. 2", 1 and 5.

Cletus: Oh, sad day. Cletus Junior, my favorite huntin' dog, has passed.

Lisa: That's terrible! How did he die!

Cletus: We was deer huntin'. Poor dog had one too many beers, tripped over his own paw, and his gun went off.

Then, the player receives the quest "'Dial 'Z' for Zombies Pt. 3", which is to "Have Treats" (10) and to "Build Pet Cemetery". The pet cemetery costs 10 and takes 4 hours to build. Another horde of zombies comes out of the cemetery, and squishing them, the player gets at least one more artifact - completing "The Secret of the Mayans Pt. 2" which gives the reward of 1 and 5.

Lisa: The Mayan calendar is almost complete! Dad, I think the zombies are trying to tell us something...

Zombie: Complete calendar. Watch October 7 Treehouse of Horror episode. Answer trivia question about it. Answer correctly and receive a--

Homer: Take that, zombie! (BLOWS ZOMBIE AWAY WITH SHOTGUN)

Lisa: Dad! That zombie had something to say!

Homer: And I had a shotgun. Which means I win.

The player receives "The Secret of the Mayans Pt. 3", which is to "Find and Place Mysterious Artifacts" - five, even though that the player has already found 3 of the artifacts at this point. The reward for this quest is 1 and 5.

Once building the Springfield Cemetery:

Homer: I found a stray dog! Can we keep him?

Lisa: I don't know, Dad. He's kinda... decomposing.

Homer: Yeah, but he's smart. If you listen, you can hear him saying "brains.. want brains..."

Lisa: Terrific. Now the pet cemetery is churning out zombie pets.

The player receives "'Dial 'Z' for Zombies Pt. 4", which is to "Squish Zombie Pets" - ten of them. Once squashing the ten zombie pets, the player receives 1 and 5 as a reward.

After completing "The Secret of the Mayans Pt. 3", the player receives "The Secret of the Mayans Pt. 4", in which the player must "Find and place the last Artifacts to complete the Mayan Calendar". Once the calendar is complete and the final piece of the calendar has been found and placed:

Lisa: Okay, that's the last piece of the calendar!

The Mayan God then fades into existence on the Mayan Calendar. The player receives 25 for unlocking Mayan God, which completes "The Secret of the Mayans Pt. 4", for which the player receives 1 and 5 as a reward.

Mayan God: Hear my SACRED TRIVIA QUESTION!!!!

A notice pops up saying "Get it right and win a Mayan Homer outfit... complete with all new quests!"

Mayan God: Only those who have seen this year's Treehouse of Horror episode, 75 days before our highly scientific calendar prophecies the END OF THE WORLD, will answer correctly!

Another notice appears: "For those of you using the normal calendar, that's October 7th".

The Mayan God will walk around your town with not an exclamation mark above his head, but a question mark. Once the player taps on the question mark, a square appears, which has the Mayan God's illustration on it - and the trivia question: "In this years Treehouse of Horror episode, what do the aliens consider to be mankind's highest achievement?". The answer is one of these three:

John Carter on Blu-ray
The Zune
DVRs That Let You Skip Commercials

Below, there is a notice: "Answer to unlock an exclusive Mayan Homer outfit. Get it on the first try and win 10 donuts as well!" If the player gets the correct answer, "The Zune", they will receive ten donuts (if they got the answer on the first try) and they will unlock a Mayan Homer outfit. A "Outfits" notice appears: "Congratulations! You have your first Outfit! Tap on the Character to change their Outfit. Each Outfit has its own set of jobs." Once tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:

Mayan Homer: Where am I? And WHEN am I? Anyone know what baktun it is?

Apu: Thirteenth.

Mayan Homer: Wow. Traveling through time really builds up an appetite.

The player receives the quest "Blast from the Past Pt. 1", which is to "Make Mayan Homer Go on a Maize Binge". The task lasts 60 minutes and on its own the player would receive 1 and 17. The player receives 1 and 5 as the reward for the quest.

Mayan God: Grrr... gggrrrr!!!

Mayan Homer: Hiya, mighty Gukumatz!

Mayan God: GRRRR GRGR!

Mayan Homer: Hey, if you want a human sacrifice, you got one. No problem!

The player then receives "Blast from the Past Pt. 2", which is to "Make Mayan Homer Perform Human Sacrifice in the Brown House". The task takes 12 hours and on its own would give the player the reward of 1 and 100. The reward for the quest is 1 and 5.

Mayan God: Grrgr Grr!

Mayan Homer: I'm sorry! Disco Stu was the best sacrifice I could get on short notice.

Mayan God: GGGGRRRRR! RRR!

Mayan Homer: There's just no making you gods happy.

The player then receives the final part of the "Blast from the Past" trilogy, "Blast from the Past Pt. 3", which is to "Make Mayan Homer Reenact the Mayan Collapse". The task takes 4 hours and on its own the reward would be 1 and 45. Once Mayan Homer's task is completed:

Lisa: Are you done now? Can we get on with it?

Mayan Homer: Sure, what's next?

The reward for the quest is 1 and 45.

After "'Dial 'Z' for Zombies Pt. 4", Professor Frink then appears in your town:

Frink: Good glavin! I have developed a theory to explain the existence of multiple Springfields!

Homer: I too have developed a theory: you yell boring things as if they're exciting.

Frink: Quickly! I need access to a high-energy super collider.

Lisa: What about the LHC at CERN? It just found the Higgs Boson.

Frink: Not powerful enough. The boson I'm looking for is much harder to find. You see, due to a printing error, the word "boson" appears upside down on its shell. Very rare. Highly collectible.

Professor Frink disappears and the player is given the quest "The Black Hole Pt. 1", which is to "Build Super Collider". It costs 100 and takes 8 hours to build. The player receives 50 once building the Super Collider, fully named the Springfield Subatomic Supercollider, and then receives 1 and 5 for completing "The Black Hole Pt. 1". Once the player has tapped on Lisa's exclamation bubble after building the Supercollider, Professor Frink appears again:

Frink: The collider is ready! With the plasmas, and the crisp new lab coats, and the slamming things together for learning...

Lisa: I read somewhere that supercolliders can spawn miniature black holes.

Frink: Later, Lisa! It's time to sciencify!

Frink disappears, and the player receives "The Black Hole Pt. 2" quest, which is to "Make Lisa Turn on the Super Collider" - a 45 second task, which in reward, the player is given 1 and 1. This task can only be done once in the game. The reward for the quest is 1 and 5. Professor Frink appears again.

Lisa: A black hole! A tear in the very fabric of space-time that could swallow the earth!

Frink: Get that thing out of here before it gobbles the building!

Lisa: Will do! Wait a second, where are you going?

Frink: Any Springfield but this one! With the naked singularities, and the oh-so-short life expectancy...

Frink disappears, and the player receives "The Black Hole Pt. 3" quest, which is to "Place Black Hole". The black hole is in the player's inventory, and once the player places it in their Springfield, the player receives the reward of 1 and 5. An exclamation mark pops above Homer's head.

Homer: What about the candy? Surely the candy will survive the black hole?

Lisa: I... I'm afraid not.

Homer: Then we don't have much time.

Milhouse: KID POWER!

Lisa: I know there's zombies out there but how often do kids get the opportunity to amass a horde of candy?

The player receives the quest "The Black Hole Pt. 4", which is to "Send any Kids Trick-or-Treating". The reward for a character going trick-or-treating is 1 and 125, and the only characters available to go trick-or-treating are Bart, Lisa, Milhouse, Martin and Nelson. Once the player has tapped the "thumb logo" above one of the characters that the player had sent trick-or-treating's heads:

Kang: Foolish Earthlings! They do not grasp the TRUE danger of the black hole! Science teaches us that black holes are a gateway, connecting this world to the Christian hell! Just as their Albert Einstein predicted, if you read him correctly. Behold! The legions of hell pour forth.

The player then completes "The Black Hole Pt. 4", the reward for which is 1 and 5. Completing the quest unlocks Devil Flanders, for which the player is given 25.

Cletus: I reckon it's the hillbilly's job to point out the alien craft menacing our skies?

Frink: I have positively identified this flying object as a UFO. We must construct the Frink Ray Gun immediately!

Kang: I KNEW we should have paid for the ray-gun-proof undercoating. Our only hope is that the humans will not have enough donuts to build this ultimate weapon.

(Please go to the Ray Gun section for the rest of the gameplay involving Kang.)

Once tapping on Ned's exclamation mark:

Devil Flanders: Hey-diddly-ho there, Springfield!

Homer: Stupid Devil Flanders! What do you want?

Devil Flanders: You might say I'm on Soul Patrol! Wheelin' and Dealin'! Doin' the Hell Sell!

Homer: Does EVERY version of you have to rhyme?

The player then receives the "Flanders the Devil Pt. 1" quest, which is to "Make Devil Flanders Sign up New "Clients"". The task is 12 hours long and on its own, the reward would be 1 and 100. The reward for the quest is 1 and 5.

Lisa: What are we gonna do with all these eggs and toilet paper?

Devil Flanders: You haven't been using 'em to mess up other Springfields?

Then, the player receives "Flanders the Devil Pt. 2", which is to "Throw Eggs at houses in other Springfields" and "Throw Toilet Paper at trees in other Springfields" - ten times each. The reward for the quest is 1 and 5.

Homer: Did you see the look on that other me's stupid face when I saw me hucking eggs at me? Priceless!

Devil Flanders: What truly awful people you are. And what a delightfully wretched town. [SNIFF!]

Homer: Are you crying, Stupid Flanders, Prince of Darkness?

Devil Flanders: I think I'm gonna like it here. Time to set up shop!

The player receives "Flanders the Devil Pt. 3", which is to "Have Treats" (100) and to "Build House of Evil". The House of Evil costs 100 and takes 12 hours to build. Once built, the player receives the reward for the quest, 1 and 5, and then:

Homer: Hmm, "House of Evil". Nice to see there's still a place for brick-and-mortar evil shops in the Internet Age.

The player receives "Flanders the Devil Pt. 4", which is to "Make Homer Shop at House of Evil". Homer is the only character who can shop there. The task takes 60 minutes and on its own would give the reward of 1 and 17. The reward for the quest is 1 and 5. Completing the quest has unlocked the Talking Krusty Doll, which rewards the player with 25.

Homer: Why's a Talking Krusty Doll for sale at an emporium of evil?

Talking Krusty Doll: Kill Homer! Kill Homer Simpson!

Homer: And there's your answer.

"Flanders the Devil Pt. 5", the final quest in the "Flanders the Devil" pentalogy, requires the player to "Make Homer Run from Talking Krusty Doll". The task takes 24 hours to complete, and on its own the player would receive 1 and 150 as a reward. The task is just Homer running around your town with his hands in the air while the Talking Krusty Doll wanders around town, not chasing him at all. Once Homer is done (and out of breath) you receive 1 and 5.

Devil Flanders: I've got it! I know just the thing to make this town a real Hell-on-Earth!

Homer: An NFL stadium funded by taxpayer money, while the public school system crumbles?

Devil Flanders: No! And stop eavesdropping!

Homer: But eavesdropping is evil! I thought you'd approve.

Devil Flanders: It's not evil! It's just rude!

The player then receives "Bad Dream House Pt. 1", which is to "Have Treats" (150) and to "Build Bad Dream House". The Bad Dream House costs 150 and takes 24 hours to build. The reward for the quest is 1 and 5. After this quest, two "Treat" icons appear in the taskbook sidebar; they are two quests: "Heck House" - "Buy Heck House" and "Burns Monster" - "Buy Burns Monster". The Heck House and the Burns Monster both cost 300. After completing "Heck House" a "Façades" notice appears: "Congratulations! You have your first building façade. Tap on the building to change its façade." For unlocking the Burns Monster after completing "Burns Monster", the player gets 25. The rewards for these quests are both 1 and 5. After completing "Bad Dream House Pt. 1":

Devil Flanders: Spend a night in this house and it's yours! Test your courage! Maybe that angry Scotsman is up to the challenge!

The player then receives "Bad Dream House Pt. 2", which requires the player to "Reach Level 10" and "Build Willie's Shack". If these have been done, the quest is to "Make Willie Sleep in the Bad Dream House". All of the "Sleep in the Bad Dream House" task take 12 hours and if on their own, the player is rewarded with 1 and 100 for each "Sleep in the Bad Dream House" task set. After sending Willie to Sleep in the Bad Dream House:

Willie: A Scotsman always takes the bait! Historically, it's been a real problem for us.

Devil Flanders: Your first victim approaches, House-y. You know what to do.

Bad Dream House: Next time, can you find someone who doesn't reek of haggis and two-stroke engines?

The player gets 1 and 5 as the quest's reward.

Willie: Must... kill... Principal Skinner...

Devil Flanders: Nice brainwashing, House-y! You're the best in the business.

Bad Dream House: You're too kind, O King of Perdition.

Devil Flanders: Okay, who's next? How about the fat comic man?

"Bad Dream House Pt. 3" requires the player to "Reach Level 13" and "Build Android's Dungeon". If these have been done, the quest is to "Make Comic Book Guy Sleep in the Bad Dream House".

Comic Book Guy: If the "spend a night-in-a-haunted-house" plotline was good enough for every "Scooby-Doo" ever, it's good enough for me!

The quest's reward is 1 and 5.

Comic Book Guy: Must... kill... Apu.... Also Lovejoy and Krusty and Milhouse and Mr. Burns...

Devil Flanders: Woah! You gave that brain the scrub-a-dub of the century!

Bad Dream House: Yeah, I was on a roll. That guy has some INTENSE anger issues.

Devil Flanders: Who's next!

Homer: The Simpsons will give it a shot!

The player receives "Bad Dream House Pt. 4", which is to "Make Homer Sleep in the Bad Dream House", "Make Lisa Sleep in the Bad Dream House" and "Make Bart Sleep in the Bad Dream House". At the same time, another "Bad Dream House" icon appears in the taskbook sidebar. The quest is "Marge's Bad Dream", which requires the player to "Reach Level 15" and "Build Moe's Tavern". If these have been done, the quest is to "Make Marge Sleep in the Bad Dream House". Both of these quests' rewards are 1 and 5.

Bart: Must... kill... Lisa...

Homer: Kill... Bart...

Lisa: Kill... Mom...

Marge: So this is what it comes to? This is how the Simpsons finally meet their end?

Bad Dream House: Stick to the script, lady.

Marge: Oh, right. Sorry. Must... kill... Homer...

Chief Wiggum: Now hold on a second. You there -- I suppose you have a PERMIT to operate a house of brainwashing?

Devil Flanders: Uh... no. Do I need one?

Chief Wiggum: Read your Satanic Bible, pal.

The player receives "Bad Dream House Pt. 5", which is to "Make Devil Flanders Do Emergency Satanic Bible Study". The task takes 8 hours and on its own, the reward would be 1 and 70. Once the task is complete:

Devil Flanders: Officer, I apologize about the permit, but my evil plans are THIS CLOSE to fruition...

Chief Wiggum: Sorry. Rules are rules.

Devil Flanders: I am a small businessman, sir. Your town should be WELCOMING people like me!

Chief Wiggum: Thank you for your cooperation.

Devil Flanders: Oh, forget this! I'm going back to hell! Where, if nothing else, I can count on a business-friendly environment!

The player then receives 1 and 5 as a reward, ending the "Bad Dream House" pentalogy and the Halloween quests.

Ray Gun

The Ray Gun is a raygun that was able to be purchased for 100; the original price was 150. When Kang flies over your Springfield in his spaceship (after completing "The Black Hole Pt. 4") and Cletus points out the 'alien craft menacing our skies', Professor Frink mentions that they must construct the Frink Ray Gun immediately. Once the player has purchased and placed the Ray Gun:

Kang: Those meddling humans have built the Ray Gun. We must try to destroy it before they use it!

Kang tries to destroy the Ray Gun by firing at it using his spaceship. The player presses the Ray Gun so it shoots into the air. After one shot:

Kang: Stop it! Our craft can only take two more hits like that!

Kang continues to fire at the Ray Gun, while the player continues to fire at his spaceship. Soon, the spaceship starts to wobble before a final hit makes the spaceship crash into the ray gun, destroying it and the ship.

Kang: Ouch. Ouch. OUCH! I think I twisted a tentacle.

Frink: Bullseye! I've put a new Ray Gun in storage.

The player then receives 25 for unlocking Kang.

Kang: Peaceful greetings, puny human!

Lisa: A real life alien! Welcome to Earth, friend!

Kang: Let us live in friendship, and let us not deploy the beacon that summons the Rigellian invasion fleet!

Lisa: Uh... okay.

Kang: That's one thing I wish you not to worry about. No one is deploying any beacons!

The player then receives the quest "We come in Pieces! Pt. 1", which is to "Make Kang Deploy the Beacon", a 12-hour task, which rewards you with 1 and 150 when the task is set on its own. Once the quest is completed the player receives 1 and 5.

Lisa: Mr. Alien--

Kang: Please, call me Kang the Enslaver of Worlds! How can I help, friend human?

Lisa: There's a zombie outbreak in Springfield. Do you have any advanced technology that could help.

Kang: Of course! Let me just get it over here.

Then the player receives "We come in Pieces! Pt. 2", which is to "Make Kang Activate the Beacon". The task takes 10 minutes, which rewards you with 1 and 7 when the task is set on its own. Once the quest is completed the player receives 1 and 5.

Lisa: Uh, still waiting for help with the zombies.

Kang: Sprinkle these crystals on your fellow humans. It will, uh, make them zombie-proof!

Lisa: This appears to be common table salt.

Kang: Don't be idiotic! What would be the point of salting humans?

The player receives "We come in Pieces! Pt. 3", which is to "Make Kang Properly Season Humans". The task takes 6 hours and rewards you with 1 and 90 when it is set on its own. Once the quest is completed the player receives 1 and 5.

Kang: Bwa-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha-haaaaa!

Lisa: What's so funny?

Kang: The Rigellian fleet will be here in moments! You are about to become dinner!

Lisa: Seriously? You'd fly all the way across the galaxy just to eat us?

Kang: Of course! In all the universe, there is no food as well-marbled as the American human!

The player receives "We come in Pieces! Pt. 4", which is to "Make Kang 8-Hour Evil Laugh". The task takes (well, it's in the title) 8 hours and rewards you with 1 and 105 when it is set on its own. Once the quest is completed the player receives 1 and 5.

Lisa: Excuse me? Your beacon is bleeping.

Kang: Huh. It appears my Message of Summoning didn't go through to the invasion fleet.

Homer: Yeah, reception kinda stinks here in New Springfield. I'm working on it.

Kang: Please, sit patiently while I resend the message that signals your doom...

Homer: No way! Come on, fellow puny humans -- get him!

The player receives "We come in Pieces! Pt. 5", which is to "Make Kang Run from Puny Humans". The 24-hour task rewards the player with 1 and 225 if the task is set on its own. Once the quest is completed the player receives 1 and 5, ending the "We come in Pieces!" pentalogy.

The Cauldron is a cauldron that was able to be purchased for 90. It can be unlocked after the player has completed "Is There An Al Coholic Pt. 1". Once the player has placed the Cauldron, the player unlocks Witch Marge (referred to in-game as Marge The Witch) - a new outfit for Marge.

Witch Marge: I love my new outfit! It's just too bad I can't be a REAL witch.

Devil Flanders: You'd use your powers to beat Helen Lovejoy at the annual Church Bake-Off, am I right?

Witch Marge: You should know that the mind-reading thing is very creepy.

Devil Flanders: I get that a lot. Anyhoo, I'll make you a dealio -- victory in the bake-off, in exchange for... your soul.

Witch Marge: Hmm.. it WOULD be neat to defeat that horrible woman and her famous lemon bars.

Homer: Mmmm... lemons in bar form...

Witch Marge: Homer, stop drooling. Okay, Evil Ned, let's do it! Sign me up!

The player then receives "Easy-bake Coven Pt. 1", which is to "Make Devil Flanders Sign up New 'Clients'" and to "Make Marge the Witch Sign away her Soul". Respectively, the rewards for these tasks if they were set on their own would be 1 and 100 and 1 and 150. After completing both tasks, the player receives 1 and 5.

In the game, once zombies have come out of the cemeteries, they walk around your Springfield. When they meet a character, they turn that character into a zombie. Once tapping on the zombie character, they return back to normal...until another zombie comes along and turns the character into a zombie again. However, Halloween characters, such as Kang, do not get turned into zombies.

On November 5, 2012, the third content update was released, bringing in a new level, two new buildings, and two new characters - one premium, one not. The update was 52.7MB. However, this update did not remove the Halloween features. In fact, it decreased the price of the Ray Gun from 150 to 100.

Some users on the EA forums reported that they had gotten the Thanksgiving update, which involves buying balloons, with this update.

On the EA forums on November 6, 2012, user "Teasdale x" posted information about five balloons appearing in the game after the update. The user placed the balloons in their game, but then the game crashed and the game went back to normal. The five balloons (Snowball II, Santa's Little Helper, Itchy, Blinky and Scratchy) still remain in CarlTeasdaleswfc's town. User CanadaX21's town has also got balloons; in his case he bought the balloons (for less than $500), and once the user exited the app and returned to it, the Halloween features had been reset.

On November 5, 2012, Facebook account for the yet-to-be published Tapped Out fansite, Simpsons Tapped Out Now, posted info on the upcoming "balloons" update. One of the new outfits for Homer is "Ninja Homer". An image posted on the forums on November 7, 2012 confirms the price of the balloons.

This fourth content update, released in the UK on November 8, 2012, now reveals that the Halloween buildings now give out cash and XP instead of treats/zombies.

Gameplay

This gameplay is incomplete: There is dialogue missing

Homer: Ah Thanksgiving -- a time for families to come together to overeat and argue.

Lisa: Don't forget about the parade!

Homer: I will, honey, I will!

The player then receives "Thanksgiving Parade Pt. 1", which is to "Place the Scratchy Balloon". The Scratchy Balloon costs 1,000. Once the balloon has been placed, the player receives 100 and 10 as a reward.

Homer: What kind of parade has only one balloon?

The player then receives "Thanksgiving Parade Pt. 3", which is to "Place the Santa's Little Helper Balloon". The Santa's Little Helper Balloon costs 30,000. Once the balloon has been placed, the player receives 100 and 10 as a reward.

Balloons

All of the balloons require Level 5 and can be bought multiple times. A bug was reported by many users of the Tapped Out forums that they could buy the Itchy and Snowball II balloons for cash and not donuts.

Itchy Balloon	40	2.00% bonus money and XP to all jobs
Scratchy Balloon	1,000	Improves vanity rating

The fifth content update

150px

The fifth content update was an in-app update released on November 13, 2012 which added Fat Tony as a character in the "Wise Guys" collection. Fat Tony's quests are part of an exclusive storyline leading upto the premiere of "Penny-Wiseguys" on November 18, 2012.

Gameplay

After unlocking Fat Tony:

Fat Tony: I should be able to lay low here for a while. But first I must acquire the necessary low-laying supplies.

The player then receives "Wanted: Stereotypical Crime Boss Pt. 1", which is to "Make Fat Tony Buy Hole Up Supplies". The task is a one-time 45 second task and rewards the player with 3 and 1 as well as the quest's reward 100 and 10.

Fat Tony: Pasta, sauce, a checkered napkin and a sleeveless t-shirt... just the essentials of life. Now I've got to find a place in which I can keep out of sight.

The player then receives "Wanted: Stereotypical Crime Boss Pt. 2", which is to "Send Fat Tony to Hole Up in the Brown House" - another one-time task, this time 3 minutes long. It rewards the player with 6 and 2 as well as the quest's reward, 100 and 10.

After sending Fat Tony to hole up in the Brown House:

Homer: All this walking around Springfield is killing me! I need a nice disappear-inside-a-building job.

The player then receives "Wanted: Stereotypical Crime Boss Pt. 3", which is to "Make Homer Break into the Brown House and Watch TV" - a 3-minute task like the last one with the same reward of 6 and 2. After sending Homer on his task:

Fat Tony: Hey, what are you doing here? You a cop? You'll never take me alive!

Homer: Fat Tony! I didn't know this was your house. Please don't kill me! I'm just a lazy guy who likes TV!

Fat Tony: Oh no -- this is not my abode. I'm just taking an unscheduled vacation of indeterminate length. Please pass the remote.

The reward for the quest is 100 and 10.

Fat Tony: Homer, it would be to our mutual benefit if you did not tell anyone that I am here. Don't breathe a word if you want to keep breathing in general.

Homer: No need to get your gun out again... But if you're hiding out, you shouldn't stay here. Half the town drops by here on a regular basis!

Fat Tony: Then you've got to hide me, Homer! Please? Pretty please with a gun to your head on top?

The player then receives "Wanted: Stereotypical Crime Boss Pt. 4", which is to "Make Fat Tony Hole Up in the Simpson's Basement". When the task is set on its own, the player receives 200 and 50. The reward for the quest is 100 and 10.

Lisa: Ugh, dad, why was there a Mafia Crime Boss hiding in our basement?

Homer: You know, I didn't think to ask! Why are you hiding, Fat Tony? Did you off someone, commit tax fraud, drink a large soda in New York City?

Fat Tony: I did all of those things. But that's not why I'm hiding and I can't speak out it, it's too awful.

Lisa: Dad... He's kind of scaring me. Why don't you take him to get something to eat? Even if it's meat, that's fine with me.

The player then receives "Wanted: Stereotypical Crime Boss Pt. 5", which requires the player to "Reach Level 7 and Build the Krusty Burger", and to "Make Homer Eat at Krusty Burger" and "Make Fat Tony Eat at Krusty Burger". Both tasks are 30 minutes long, and they both reward 40 and 10 when set on heir own. The reward for the quest is 100 and 10.

Fat Tony: You know Homer my boys are here every week collecting protection money, and I've never tried their burgers before.

Homer: What do you think?

Fat Tony: I think the clown who runs this place is the real criminal. We should get back, before somebody sees me.

The player then receives "Wanted: Stereotypical Crime Boss Pt. 6", which is to "Make Fat Tony Hole Up in the Simpson's Basement" - the same as Part 4. The task, when set on its own, gives the reward of 200 and 50. After Fat Tony finishes his task:

Chief Wiggum: Ahh, there you are Fat Tony!

Fat Tony: Uh oh. Is it bribe time already?

Chief Wiggum: No, that's not 'til next week. Today, I have an envelope for you!

Lisa: Wait, aren't you going to arrest him?

Chief Wiggum: What? No. That's just papers informing him he has to report for jury duty on Sunday, November 18th at 8/7 central.

Homer: Why are you talking like that? What courthouse is open on Sunday nights? And who's going to run the Mafia while he's serving jury duty?

[A notice then appears, saying: "Find out in the November 18th episode of The Simpsons!"]

Homer: Oh, I get it -- it's a promo! We still get to keep Fat Tony in our town after the show airs though.

Fat Tony: I'm not going anywhere.

Homer: Woo-hoo!

The player then completes the quest, receiving the reward of 100 and 10, which also ends the the "Wanted: Stereotypical Crime Boss" hexalogy.

The sixth 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.

The seventh content update

On December 3, 2012, The Simpsons: Tapped Out's official Facebook page posted a message: "Let it snow! Springfield's in for some holiday magic with a big new update... coming soon!" - which implies that the update will be released sometime in the first week of December. It was announced on Tapped Out's Facebook page on December 4 that the holiday update would be released on December 5 (the same day when Tapped Out will no longer be able to be played on 1st and 2nd generation iPod touches and iPhones), and in that post was also an image of Santa Homer - a new outfit for Homer that will be introduced in the update. With the update also comes a new icon for the game, and a new opening menu.

The features are available until January 3, 2013.

Players can buy a Santa's Sack with 5 Donuts, which includes 10-20 Santa Coins - a new currency in the update. As long as the holiday event lasts, players will be given Santa's Sacks instead of Mystery Boxes in their Daily Bonus.

Many users on the Tapped Out forums reported that they had seen Kodos shooting at the ray gun in her spaceship while she flies across a friend's Springfield. Many thought it was a bug, but it is likely a clue to what could happen next - Kodos being introduced as a character.

Also, many users on the Tapped Out forums reported (one even showing an image) that Gil Gunderson would appear and give the player a 25% off offer on donuts.

Homer: These flakes don't taste plutoniumy, so a White Christmas it is!

Lisa: We should get our Holiday Tree out of storage.

Homer: Great idea, Lisa! Now where exactly did I store it again?

Lisa: The same place you store everything. That box way over to the left in the build menu... I mean the attic.

The player then receives "Christmas", which is to "Place Holiday Tree". The Holiday Tree costs 75 Donuts, but there is a free one in your inventory. Once the Holiday Tree has been placed:

Lisa: Wow! The holiday tree will drop ten Santa Coins every day!

Lisa: I meant build a Mapple store.

Homer: Good idea! It'll give the people of Springfield a place to stand in line.

Homer: Bring it, Stupid Flanders!

The player then receives the quest "Pin Pals", which is to "Have Santa Coins" (200 Santa Coins) and to "Build Barney's Bowlarama". Upon completing the quest, the player receives 10.

Homer: There must be an easier and faster way to get Santa Coins!

Barney: I had a job as a Mall Santa last year. It paid good... and in real dollars, not candy canes!

Homer: Wow, maybe I can do that! I have a belly and a lap. Though I can't tell which is which. All I need is a Santa suit.

Future content updates

On December 10, 2012, a user on the Tapped Out forums posted information on what they found when they went through Tapped Out's update files, which can be accessed through a few apps.

"Whacking Day" update

Information on a "Whacking Day" update was posted, and because Whacking Day is celebrated on May 10 in The Simpsons, it is possible that this could have been the first content update if Tapped Out hadn't been removed from the App Store in March 2012 and remained off the App Store until August 2012.

The costumes to be introduced in this update are:

Homer - Ninja Homer costume

Willie - Bare Chested Willie - a prize for whacking so many snakes.

Ninja Homer Unlock Message: "Fat, drunk, lazy, stupid, drunk -- perfect ninja material."
Ninja Homer Description: "Jobs earn 150% more money and XP."
Ninja Homer Description (Maybe): "Enables Ninja Homer to hone his whacking stick skills!"

Messages

Possibly pop-up messages:

"Slithery critters are all over your Springfield and begging to be whacked!"

"Springfield is overrun with snakes. Better get Whacking!"

"Be Sensible When Whacking"

"Springfield is overrun with too many snakes! Catch a couple before releasing these."

"Enter Baton Mode. Tap snakes to whack them."

"Snakes hide in buildings and decorations. Tap things to shoo snakes out quicker!"

The push message is ""friendname" has sneaked into your Springfield and released some snakes!" ("friendname" being one of your friends' names)

Dialogue

"Getting Carried Away":

Ninja Homer: "Whack! Whack, whack whack! Aww, I need more things to smash with my whacking stick."

"I Taught Bruce Lee All He Knew":

Lisa: "Dad? Everyone loves Whacking Day but I hate it. Is there something wrong with me?"

Ninja Homer: "Yes honey."

Lisa: "Then what should I do?"

Ninja Homer: "Just squeeze your rage into a bitter little ball and release it at an appropriate time. Like that day I hit the referee with a whiskey bottle. Remember that?"

Lisa: "Yeah..."

"Wing Chun For Dummies"

Ninja Homer: "New Practice Snakes."

"Getting All Tarzan"

Milhouse: "Help! Snake!"

Bare Chested Willie: "Hey Snakey, let the lad go. Time for some one-on-one time with ME."

"Snake Rocks Rock!"

Homer: "Oh my god, Snake Rocks! Now I can get even more snakes. My life is complete."

"Whacking Day Has Arrived"

Homer: "What's your problem?"

Lisa: "Whacking Day's coming."

Homer: "Woohoooo! The greatest day of the year!"

Lisa: "But killing snakes is evil."

Homer: "Maybe so Lisa, but its part of our oh-so-human nature."

Lisa: "Just try to whack quietly, please, so I can get some work done."

"Whacking Day Pt. 2"

Apu: "Welcome to your official whacking day headquarters. I've hidden a snake somewhere in the store. The first one to whack it gets a free SQUISHEE!"

"Whacking Day Pt. 3"

Apu: "Hey! Hey! Oh, I should have put more thought into my promotion. It will take me hours to clean up this mess."

"Whacking Day Pt. 4"

Homer: "Grab a stick, Flanders, and get whacking!"

Ned: "Oh, I couldn't. Killing defenseless animals is wrong."

Homer: "Just pretend you're Ehud, and the snakes are Eglon, king of Moab."

Ned: "I don't know where you got such an obscure Biblical reference, but it works for me! Let's kill some snakes!"

"Whacking Day Pt. 5"

Cletus: "Dang! I clean forgot about Whacking Day. Where'm I gonna get a stick at this hour?"

Homer: "If you need a weapon, what about that shotgun in your back pocket?"

Cletus: "Doesn't seem very sporting..."

Homer: "Oh, Cletus. Whacking Day is just like any other beloved tradition: the point is to murder as many snakes as possible. By any means necessary."

Cletus: "Well said, fat man."

"Whacking Day Pt. 6"

Homer: "I can't let some hillbilly out Whack me!"

"Whacking Day Pt. 7"

Lisa: "That's it! I can no longer sit by as our un-limbed brothers and sisters are whacked into non-existence for no other crime than being different!"

Homer: "They also committed the crime of being slimy. And the crime of scaring Indiana Jones."

Lisa: "Those aren't crimes!"

"Whacking Day Pt. 8"

Apu: "Snake hunters of Springfield, come to the Kwik-E-Mart for my new promotion. The first person to guess the correct weight of the bag of snakes I've hidden somewhere in the store gets a free squishee!"

"Whacking Day Pt. 9"

Apu: "Oh no, not again... I need a vacation."

"Whacking Day Pt. 10"

Milhouse: "Whacking Day always strikes me as a bit unfair. I mean, I'm so much bigger and stronger than a snake."

"Whacking Day Pt. 11"

Ned: "Don't worry little brother. We'll smite these unholy serpents back to Genesis!"

"Whacking Day Pt. 12"

Homer: "Phew! Whacking certainly is a workout. I need to replenish my precious, precious fat reserves."

"Whacking Day Pt. 13"

Lisa: "Principle Skinner, I need to call an emergency meeting with you."

Skinner: "Certainly Lisa. My door is always open. How about..."

Lisa: "We need to STOP this dreadful snake massacre immediately. It's cruel."

Skinner: "...next Wednesday at 11:30pm?"

Lisa: "But that's way past my bedtime!"

Skinner: "Sorry Lisa, gotta run."

"Whacking Day Pt. 14"

Lisa: "Principle Skinner, are you avoiding me?"

Skinner: "What? Of course not. What self-respecting adult would hide from a little girl?"

Whacking Day Pt. 15"

Lisa: "Fine, then I'll do this on my own."

"Whacking Day Pt. 16"

Skinner: "Willie, what's that you're injecting yourself with?"

Willie: "Snake venom. It makes you strong, according to the ancient Scots."

Skinner: "I wonder why you never hear people talk about the wisdom of the ancient Scots?"

Willie: "Probably because they were idiots who were wrong about everything. Now shut up and let me inject myself.

"Whacking Day Pt. 17"

Homer: "I've gotta find more snakes to whack.?!"

Black Friday Eve

200px

On November 22, 2012, players got a message from Homer: "Happy Black Friday Eve!". A few players on the EA Tapped Out forums reported that they got donuts after dismissing the message and another player reported that their friend got 1,000. However, these reports might well be coincidental, like a daily bonus mistaken for a special bonus.
