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 was released on September 28, 2012. The Duff Racer was the only thing added to the game; it was added to celebrate the Season 24 premiere "Moonshine River" on September 30, 2012.
When players opened the game they received a notice reading: "Here's a Duff Racer from the Springfield Grand Prix to celebrate the Season 24 premiere on Sunday!"
The third content update
2.
The third 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 fifth 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.
On February 26/27, 2013, a user on the TSTO Players forum posted a list (with links to images) of characters and buildings sent to appear in then-future content updates. The user also found a black-and-white 'unlock' image of Mayan Marge, a character that possibly would have introduced with this content update.
Gameplay
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.

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

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!

- 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".

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.
Cauldron
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 Marge The Witch - a new outfit for Marge.
Once unlocking the outfit:
- Marge The Witch: 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?
- Marge The Witch: 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.
- Marge The Witch: Hmm.. it WOULD be neat to defeat that horrible woman and her famous lemon bars.
- Homer: Mmmm... lemons in bar form...
- Marge The Witch: 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". Both tasks are 12 hours long. 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.
After tapping on Marge The Witch's exclamation mark:
- Marge The Witch: Let's see, the first ingredient in the recipe is... candy, three bags. I'm gonna need some help.
The player then receives "Easy-bake Coven Pt. 2", which is to "Send Marge the Witch Trick-or-Treating", "Send Lisa Trick-or-Treating" and to "Send Bart Trick-or-Treating". All three tasks take 16 hours and each task rewards the player with 1 and 125, 200 in Marge The Witch's case, when completed on their own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 1 and 5.
After tapping on Marge The Witch's exclamation mark:
- Marge The Witch: The next ingredient on the list is Springfield Silvertongue.
- Cletus: You in luck, green lady. My last crop just withered due to mysterious and convenient circumstances.
- Marge The Witch: If you plant some Silvertongue, I can make it grow faster for you?
- Cletus: Can you do that with any crop at all?
- Marge The Witch: That's right! Why do you ask?
- Cletus: Just want to make sure Mobile-Device-Owning Gigantic Finger Person is paying attention. Here endeth the lesson.
The player receives "Easy-bake Coven Pt. 3", which is to "Plant Silvertongue" and to "Make Marge the Witch Speed up a Crop". Silvertongue costs 55, takes 8 hours to grow on Cletus's Farm, and rewards the player with 275 and 75 when harvested. Marge The Witch's task takes 4 hours and the task rewards the player with 1 and 70 when completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 1 and 5.
After tapping on Marge The Witch's exclamation mark:
- Marge The Witch: Let's see... I've got the Candy, the Silvertongue, and the Eye of Newt. Now all I need is Dew-Kissed Web of Day-Old Spider.
- Homer: I got one! I KNEW I was carrying around this D.K.W.D.O.S. for a reason.
- Marge The Witch: Uh, terrific. Thanks.
Then the player receives "Easy-bake Coven Pt. 4", which is to "Make Marge the Witch Stir the Pot". The task takes 12 hours and the task rewards the player with 1 and 150 when completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 1 and 5.
After tapping on Marge The Witch's exclamation mark:
- Marge The Witch: Victory! The Bake Sale championship is mine!
- Devil Flanders: And your immortal soul is mine!
- Marge The Witch: Is there a nice moment you don't love to spoil?
- Devil Flanders: Nope. It's truly my worst quality.
Then the player receives "Easy-bake Coven Pt. 5", which is to "Make Marge the Witch do a Victory Lap". The task takes 8 hours and the task rewards the player with 1 and 105 when completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 1 and 5, completing the "Easy-bake Coven" quest-line.

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 ability to purchase the balloons disappeared from his game. User CanadaX21 had also bought the balloons in his/her game; in his/her case he/she 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. An description on what was in the game's files was posted, including a new outfit for Homer that has yet to appear - "Ninja Homer". An image posted on the forums on November 7, 2012 confirmed the price of the balloons.
This fifth content update, released in the UK on November 8, 2012, revealed that the Halloween buildings now give out cash and XP instead of treats/zombies.

The sixth content update
The sixth 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 were part of an exclusive storyline leading up to 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 seventh 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 eighth 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 implied that the update would 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 would 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 was introduced in the update. With the update also comes a new icon for the game, and a new opening menu.
The features were going to be available until January 3, 2013; it was announced through Tapped Out's Facebook page on December 19, 2012 that the time the Christmas content would be available had been extended. Until January 2, 2013, it was unknown what date it has been extended to; on that date there was an update, changing the end date of the Christmas content from January 3, 2013 to January 10, 2013.
5.Players can buy a Santa's Sack (costing 5), 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. This was true, but EA had removed Gil from the game, presumably because of the problems surrounding Tapped Out players being locked out of their games. On December 19, 2012, users reported that Gil had appeared in their Springfield after an update. This update also changed Barney's "Sober Up" task from an 8 hour task to a 4 hour task. There was also an update on December 23, 2012, adding another of Gil's offers to the game.
In the App Store description of the game, a "Kiddie Ride" is said to be one of the decorations added with the update. However, the only sighting of a kiddie ride in the game is a one outside the in-game Try-N-Save building.
Reports started on the Tapped Out forums on December 29, 2012 that players could get "Mystery Stockings" for 
50, and that they would have either donuts or a Reindeer in. There have been several more reports since then, and in late January 2, 2013 or early January 3, 2013 (depending on the time zone), the end of the update was officially extended to January 10, 2013, and the Mystery Stockings were introduced officially.
Holiday Spot was used to advertise the update.
Gameplay

- Lisa: Look at Springfield! Either this is fallout from the nuclear accident or we're going to have a White Christmas!
- Homer: These flakes don't taste plutoniumy, so a White Christmas it is!

- 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, 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: Is it a large screen TV? 'Cause I could stop breaking in to the Brown House if I had one of those.
The Santa's Village, Holiday Tree and Santa Homer offer appears, with Gil in the picture saying "Celebrate consumerism with this holiday inspired theme park and tree!". This promotion was supposed to have lasted between December 13, 2012 and December 16, 2012, but Gil was removed from the game presumably because of players being locked out.
Gil was introduced in an update on December 19, 2012, and the offer lasted between December 19, 2012-December 22, 2012. The offer is that the player can get Santa's Village, the Holiday Tree and Santa Homer for 200 Donuts instead of its 275 Donut Value. Once the offer is up, Gil will disappear from your Springfield.
According to the game files:
If the player accepts the offer:
- Gil: Honey, I made a sale! Tell the kids I'll be home for Christmas! What do you mean I'm not welcome? You got remarried already?!
If the player declines the offer:

Once tapping on Gil's "Donut" speech bubble:
- Gil: Ho-ho-ho boy. Have I got a Christmas miracle for you! To celebrate the season, all donut packages come with 25% more donuts! Which means a dozen is now 15. 50 is the new 40! And that tray of 132 donuts is now... well, Ol Gil's not that good at math. If he was, he wouldn't have to be standing out here in the cold hawking donuts. He's also not that good at grammar, always calling himself he instead of I...
- Homer: Fine, I'll look at the store. Just shut up already!
- Gil: Bless you, fat sir.
The offer appears, showing Gil in a Santa Suit picking up a green donut from a plate of white, red and green donuts. On the table is a picture of the Simpsons, but a cut-out of Gil has covered most of them. He is saying "Celebrate the season with even more donuts!".
The "25% More Donuts" offer lasted between December 23, 2012-December 27/28, 2012. The offer was added to the game in an update (released on December 23, 2012). This promotion was supposed to have lasted between December 19, 2012 and January 2, 2013, but Gil was removed from the game presumably because of players being locked out. Once the offer is up, Gil will disappear from your Springfield.
This offer is called "DayOldDonuts" in the game files.
If the player declines the offer:
- Gil: Ah, jeez! Guess the kids will have to go the another Christmas without presents... or electricity.
In the store, the donut pictures have a new Christmas design.
- Dozen Donuts now comes with 3 more donuts

- Gil: The man in Washington!
- Homer: Which Washington?
- Gil: Well, now you can stand up to our government by scrawling your city name across a mountain and protecting it with a death ray!
- Homer: Cause there's Washington state and the District of Columbia... which is kind of weird. Isn't Columbia another country?
- Gil: Yeah, that is weird.
Then the player receives the "A Sign and Doom" offer pop-up, which lasted between January 11, 2013-January 13/14, 2013. The offer includes the Volcano Lair, "evil super genius" Hank Scorpio and the Springfield Sign. The pop-up shows Gil saying "Nothing says "I'm in charge" like a giant super laser!", while in the background is a Springfield Sign and a Volcano Lair in a Springfield with a White House and a Blue House.

If the player declines the offer:
- Gil: Come on! Don't you want to protect your town from those Columbians?
The tenth content update
The tenth content update was released on January 30, 2013. This is a Valentine's-themed update, the fourth themed content update so far. The update removed the snow, and the snowmen introduced in the previous update had melted. Also, the normal icon had been restored and the game got a new Valentine's-themed opening menu.
Players can buy a Mystery Love Box for 5, which contain either hearts or themed decorations. Hearts are new currency in the update, and you can buy three buildings with them and 8 decorations.
Two expensive buildings came with the update, the "Escalator To Nowhere" and the "Popsicle Stick Skyscraper", each costing in great excess of the prices of the other buildings.
The update installed the ability to win money at the Kwik-E-Mart by purchasing a Scratch-R. You can get a Scratch-R every 6 hours. It also installed the ability to send Valentine's cards to friends' towns.
For players that had reached the end of Level 25, a special notice appeared saying that players could get bonus levels and when they get the XP to complete them, they can get up to three donuts by selecting one of the 'presents'. Get one or two donuts and the player gets the chance to get three by paying 50,000.
A few players posted on the Tapped Out forums that they got Level 26 with the update and the content that came with the update.
The update also installed the ability to buy 50,000 and 100,000 with 325 and 600 respectively in "The Store".
The update also removed the Mapple Store from the game; it was introduced during the Christmas Update then became a premium building after the event ended.
Reports began after the update was first released of a bug nicknamed the "Harp of Death". This bug has been encountered by many Tapped Out players. The bug freezes up the game and crashes it, before continuously playing a 'harp sound' through the loading menu when the game is opened again. There have been multiple reports of this on the official Tapped Out forums and the EA Help forums, with EA responding to the complaints at the beginning of February saying that there should be a patch released soon, and on February 22, 2013 with a tweet from @AskEASupport: "Attention Springfield citizens! The #TSTO team are aware/investigating a resolution for ‘harpofdeath’ issue. Thanks for your patience." @OriginInsider also responded to the complaints, saying on February 21, 2013, "This is being investigated and the Simpsons Tapped Out team is working as quickly as possible to resolve it." Also, EA has sent replies to troubled players' emails on how to fix the bug, despite many finding a way to fix the bug on their own: leaving Tapped Out open for around 15-20 minutes without auto-lock on. Reports of the bug have continued after the release of the Level 26 update, with many saying that the completion of a quest or a building has prompted the game to crash and the bug to start.
The event ended on February 28, two weeks after Valentine's Day.

- Lisa: This Valentine's Day I'm going to lead by example and give out cards made from recycled paper. That way every Valentine I give out will be a Valentine I give out will be a Valentine to the Earth as well! And the smug sense of satisfaction I'll feel will be a Valentine to myself!
Then the "BONUS LEVEL UP!" notice appears. A player must tap on one of the three 'presents' to receive one, two or three donuts. If a player gets one or two donuts, the player can get the option to pay 50,000 for the chance to receive three, or they can settle for what they received.

- Milhouse: It sure is! So do you want to do something as a couple? We could fly my kite together?

- Milhouse: Woe is me! How will I ever conquer Lisa's heart?
- Homer: Well, they say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. And men and women have exactly the same anatomy...

- Homer: But I planted these flowers.
- Chief Wiggum: On city ground! And now that they're there, cutting them is illegal. And don't think about just putting them in your inventory box -- that won't work either.
- Homer: Then where am I supposed to get flowers?
- Chief Wiggum: That's your problem, not mine. But if you figure out a place, let me know. Valentine's is coming up and I don't want to have to write Sarah a love song.

The eleventh content update
Some Tapped Out players posted on the game forums that they had received two content updates (technically). The content of the eleventh content update had been downloaded with the content of the tenth.
A user posted on the forums on February 2, 2012 that the price of the "Escalator To Nowhere" had been changed to 500,000 with the update; a user posted on that same thread on February 4, 2013 that at least Milhouse's "Eat at Phineas Q. Butterfat's" task had been cut from 8 hours long to 30 minutes long, also with the update. None of these things actually happened on the update's official release.
The update was released officially on February 14, 2013. On that date, players on the Tapped Out forums reported that "The Science Fund" had appeared in the Store, costing $14.99 or £10.49. "The Science Fund" later became one of Gil's offers.
Gameplay
- This does not include the gameplay of the "This Little Wiggy" storyline.
After the player installs the update, a dialogue box appears:
- Lisa: Happy Valentine's, everyone!
And then a notice appears saying that the player has completed "Happy Valentine's Day" and rewards the player with 5.

Gil's offers
"The Science Fund" offer
A week after the update was released, another update was released featuring another one of Gil's offers. The offer also came with a new way to get rid of surplus hearts, the Heart Grinder, where the player can "Use Hearts to win money!". For 20, the player can win money from their surplus hearts. Also, this is the first offer to appear on the Android version of the game; the Heart Grinder was not included in the Android offer update, due to the Valentine's update not being released for Android.
After Gil appears in your town and tapping on his "Professor Frink" bubble:
- Gil: Scientists! Get your scientists here!
- Lisa: You can't sell the creation of a scientist! Only graduate schools can do that.
- Professor Frink: Please little girl, I've been trapped alone for so long in a plane of existence that only I understand. I just want to come back and be trapped alone in my laboratory.
Then the offer pops up, with Gil saying "Who wouldn't want an awkward nerd in their town?", with Frink's Lab in a photograph next to him. Also in the offer pop-up is an image of Professor Frink, with a Homer Buddha and an image of a money pile.
The offer contains Frink's Lab, Professor Frink, 50,000 and a Homer Buddha - a 490 value. With the offer, these cost 250.
If the player declines the offer:
- Professor Frink: It's that kind of disinterest in science that's keeping us from going to Mars!
The offer lasted from February 21, 2013 to February 24/25, 2013. Gil disappears from your town when the offer is up.
The twelfth content update
The twelfth content update was released on February 28, 2013, and is an episode tie-in with "Gorgeous Grampa".
The App Store description of the update (version 4.1.3) describes the content added in the last update instead of what is in this update.
The update removed the ability to purchase the Valentine's Day update buildings and decorations. The update also added the ability to purchase a "Golden Scratch-R", which had appeared on the iTunes Tapped Out listing a while back in the list of purchases. A Golden Scratch-R costs 99¢/69p/0,89€ and the jackpot is 100.
If you buy a Scratch-R, it will tell you how many donuts you could have won with what you won in cash. For example, if you got three mallets (winning 750), a little notice would appear below what you had won telling you "You could have won 15 donuts with a Golden Scratch-R". Scratching off three mallets actually wins the player 12 in the Golden Scratch-R, not 15.
Gorgeous Grampa was the first outfit available on Android.
Gameplay
A notice appears reading: "This Sunday's episode of The Simpsons features Grampa as a bad-body wrestling star in the 50s." Then another notice appears, reading: "You'll find his wrestling outfit in your inventory!"
If the player has not built the Retirement Castle, which unlocks Grampa, they will be taken to their inventory. Tapping on "Use" displays a notice which tells the player they need to unlock Grampa before they can use the outfit.
If the player has built the Retirement Castle, they will immediately receive a notice saying they have completed the quest "Gorgeous Grampa", and the player receives 100 and 10
Then the player unlocks Gorgeous Grampa, and receives 25 for doing so.
After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
- Homer: Hey dad, I didn't know you were a cross-dresser.
- Gorgeous Grampa: I'm not, you idjit! It's my old wrestling outfit.
- Homer: You? A wrestler? Your whole body looks prolapsed.
- Gorgeous Grampa: I used to be oh-so-beefy & beautiful! I could stare at myself for hours!
Then the player receives "Gorgeous Grampa Pt. 1", which is to "Make Gorgeous Grampa Admire Himself". The task takes 4 hours and rewards the player with 175 and 45 when the task is completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
After tapping on his exclamation mark:
- Gorgeous Grampa: I was the 'Glamorous Godfrey' and I was the original bad boy of the squared circle.
- Bart: Grampa, really? You were a bad boy? I always thought you were lame.
- Gorgeous Grampa: Ha! I was boastful before your rap musickers and TV beach Italians of today.
- Bart: Awesome, can you come to my show and tell?
Then the player receives "Gorgeous Grampa Pt. 2", which is to "Make Gorgeous Grampa Go to Show and Tell". The task takes 8 hours and rewards the player with 275 and 70 when the task is completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
After tapping on his exclamation mark:
- Bart: Grampa, all my friends thought you were weird!
- Gorgeous Grampa: That's the problem with kids today - they don't know how to prance and preen!
Then the player receives "Gorgeous Grampa Pt. 3", which is to "Make Gorgeous Grampa Prance and Preen". The task takes 12 hours and rewards the player with 420 and 100 when the task completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10, completing the "Gorgeous Grampa" quest trilogy.

The thirteenth content update
The thirteenth content update was released on March 7, 2013 and was a St. Patrick's Day update. The update comes with two new characters, one building and two decorations, one a premium decoration, one only obtainable after completing the event storyline.
With the update came a new task for Lisa to "Meditate" for 30 minutes at the Springfield Buddhist Temple. This building has not been added to the game yet, and does appear in the game files. (For more information on characters and buildings to be added in future content updates, go to this section.)
Gameplay
Once installing the update:
- Homer: Woohoo! St. Patrick's Day is coming! The day we all pub crawl to celebrate St. Patrick and whatever he was or did. Too bad you can't pub crawl in a town with only one pub.
- Lisa: Didn't you and Grampa buy a pub when we went to Ireland?
- Homer: I miss that place. Sometimes I wish you could just press a button and build the buildings you wish were built.
Then the player receives "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 1", which is to "Build O'Flanagan's Pub". The building costs 1,900, and takes 24 hours to build. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
Then the player unlocks Tom O'Flanagan and receives 25 for doing so.
After tapping on Tom O'Flanagan's exclamation mark:
- Tom O'Flanagan: This don't look like Ireland. Where are the Bonos? Where are The Edges?
- Homer: Tom O'Flanagan! Welcome to America!
- Tom O'Flanagan: America, is it? Well, one debt-ridden, overly-religious craphole's as good as the next, I s'pose.
The player then receives "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 2", which is to "Make Tom O'Flanagan Clean Beer Mugs". The task takes 8 hours and the task rewards the player with 275 and 70 when completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
- Homer: O'Flanagan's Pub is open for business!
- Tom O'Flanagan: Hold on, laddy. Runnin' a pub is no picnic! It's hard work -- work that takes arbitrary lengths of time to complete!
- Homer: I'm a guy who needs six hours to lounge in a pool but only six SECONDS to clean up nuclear waste. I know arbitrary, okay?
- Tom O'Flanagan: And there's other tasks that might seem, well, a wee bit pointless. Like they don't necessarily aid in running a business...
The player receives "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 3", which is to "Make Tom O'Flanagan Do an Irish Jig" and "Make Homer Promote his Bar". Both Tom O'Flanagan's task and Homer's task take 12 hours and both tasks reward the player with 420 and 100 when each completed on their own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
Then the player receives the following dialogue following the completion of Part 3.
- Cletus: Saw me a little green fella this morning - and not a drop of moonshine the night before.
- Lisa: That must be a leprechaun! According to Irish folklore, they're miniature old men who frequently have pots of gold.
- Homer: By *gold* do you mean grind currency or donuts?
- Lisa: Neither, I jut mean gold.
- Homer: But that's worth nothing in our world!
- Lisa: Still, it would be nice to have a Leprechaun in our town. We should build a wishing well to entice one!
- Leprechaun: Premium character, am I? Ain't that a fine thing?
The Leprechaun is a premium character that is unlocked following the purchase of the 150 Wishing Well.
After tapping on Tom O'Flanagan's exclamation mark:
- Tom O'Flanagan: I only hope Americans have as a unhealthy a relationship with alcohol as my countrymen.
The player then receives "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 4", which is to "Make Tom O'Flanagan Serve Drinks" and to "Send [12] Springfield Residents to Drink at O'Flanagans". The characters that have "Drink at O'Flanagan's" tasks are Homer, Apu, Ned, Cletus, Skinner, Willie, Comic Book Guy, Grampa, Mrs. Krabappel and Barney - which adds up to 10 (9, if you don't have Barney). This means that the player will need to send either two or three characters to "Drink at O'Flanagans" twice. The reason for, if the player has Barney, why the quest requires two more characters to complete the task, is most probably because Lenny and Carl, characters to be unlocked in a future content update, may have been included in the number accidentally, similar to how Lisa's "Meditate" task was added accidentally. All of the tasks are 4 hours long and each task rewards the player with 175 and 45 when completed on their own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
After tapping on Tom O'Flanagan's exclamation mark:
- Tom O'Flanagan: That was a fine craic! Time to rest my heels.
The player then receives "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 5", which is to "Make Tom O'Flanagan Watch Old Horse Races". The task takes 60 minutes and the task rewards the player with 70 and 17 when completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
- Homer: I'd love to get the gang together for another boozefest. We always black out and have some presumably great times.
- Tom O'Flanagan: What's stopping ya?
- Homer: Marge says you can only do fun stuff in moderation for some stupid reason.
- Tom O'Flanagan: We had moderation in Ireland. Then the economy went belly-up, and we gave self-destruction a try. Best move we ever made.
Then the player receives "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 6". The quest is the same as "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 4", to "Make Tom O'Flanagan Serve Drinks" and to "Send [12] Springfield Residents to Drink at O'Flanagan's". Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
- Homer: Hey Willie, bet you're proud to have your very own Irish bar in Springfield?
- Willie: I'm not Irish, I'm Scottish! We're totally different kinds of English-haters!
- Homer: You both talk funny. That's pretty strong evidence you're the same people.
- Willie: Now I'm lookin' for a fight.
Then the player receives "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 7", which is to "Reach Level 10 and Build Willie's Shack" and to "Send Willie to Drink at O'Flanagan's". The task takes 4 hours and the task rewards the player with 175 and 45 when completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
After tapping on Tom O'Flanagan's exclamation mark:
- Tom O'Flanagan: Lookin' for a fight, Scot?
- Willie: Kind of you to notice, Irish.
- Homer: Guys, guys! You're Americans now! Here, the Scottish and Irish put aside their differences. And unite with all Americans of European descent in looking down on OTHER immigrant groups. Whose only crime is arriving here a few years later than we did. Which is the worst crime ever.

The fifteenth content update
The fifteenth content update was released on March 21, 2013.
In the thirteenth content update, a task for Lisa to "Meditate" for 30 minutes at the Springfield Buddhist Temple appeared, locked, in Lisa's task list. The task was removed with the next update, before being released officially with this update.
The content of the update was known a few weeks before its release; on March 7, 2013, both the TSTO Player forum and the official EA Tapped Out forum posted a list of new characters and buildings set to be introduced with a Level 27 content update.
The update also changed the length of Tom O'Flanagan's, introduced in the St. Patrick's Day update, "Visit the Track" task from 3 hours to 24 hours.
The description of the Mystery Box was also changed to "A prize in every box with a chance to win premium items!"
Many players posted on the Tapped Out forum that with the update the XP goal had been reduced to a mere 9,000 and caused the XP bar to freeze. According to the TSTO Tips blog, if the player buys between 10-40 weather stations the XP bar should start moving again.

Buildings and Decorations
- Note: Mount Carlmore is classed in-game as a decoration, despite being classed as a building on this wiki. Since no other decorations were added with the update, we have decided to merge the two sections.

Upcoming content updates
- Note: The following information may be a mixture of rumors and fact.
On February 27, 2013, a user on the Tapped Out forums posted black-and-white images of two characters, a building and decorations to be introduced in future updates; the images being found in the game files.
Earlier, on February 25, 2013, a user on the TSTO Player forum (http://tstappedout.proboards.com) posted black-and-white images of three decorations and a character. The decorations, however, had snow on them in the images so it is likely these decorations were supposed to be introduced in either the Christmas Update or the Level 25 Update. (These are noted by a "*") The character image featured what would appear to be an 'unlock' image of Gil, indicating that he will be implemented into the game sometime in the future.
On March 22, 2013, two users on the TSTO Player forum posted a lot of info about new items, new episode tie-ins and new items to be added in the Whacking Day update. (These are marked with a "-")
On March 23, 2012, a user on the Tapped Out forums posted a list of upcoming quests to do with gambling and Snake and Sideshow Bob. Also on that date, one of the users posted a list of "Miss Springfield" quests and more decorations and buildings. (These are all marked with a "=")

Memorabilia (-)
The user that posted the information said that there may be "Mini Games" added to the game that could be included for each building. The user said the coding works like the Homer's Buddha/Mystery Box/Leprechaun Tap; a Random # is generated, then used to determine the prize gained. The odds of winning a prize from a building are 66%, with odds of each listed item being:
- 1st Item Listed: 5%
- 2nd Item: 10%
- 3rd Item: 14%
- 4th Item: 17%
- 5th Item: 20%
which equals 66% total odds. The other 33% of the time does not result in a prize. Each item has a cost of 1 assigned to it, presumably the cost of playing the 'mini game'

Dialogue updates
60 Free Donuts
During June 2012, EA took the game offline to fix the Springfields affected. Because some towns had been reset to a certain level and their design changed, those players were given 60 for the inconvenience.
Black Friday Eve
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.
