The seventeenth content update, known as the Whacking Day content update of The Simpsons: Tapped Out was released on April 10, 2013 and is the long awaited Whacking Day update. It did not end on May 2, 2013 as originally thought, or on May 9, 2013 as originally stated in the guide but a week later on May 16, 2013.
This is the first update to offer prizes, and the second requiring the player to tap on a non-playable character to kill them - the first was zombies during the Halloween Update in 2012. However, unlike the Halloween Update, the player has to enter a mode to whack the snakes - the Baton Mode.
The update comes with a new splash screen and a new icon. The update now allows players to watch every cutscene from the game in a special "Cutscene" section of the build menu; the cutscenes are "Kaboom", "Home Alone", "Treehouse" and "True Love".
The update for Google Play came with Origin, enabling Android players to add friends and visit their towns.
This update also added a new maximum building and decoration count to the game. If the player has too many buildings and decorations a notice will appear: "Too Many Buildings", then the description "Building overload! You currently have [number of buildings and decorations] buildings and decorations in your Springfield. To ensure stability, the game now has a maximum building and decoration count of 3000. You need to store or sell some things if you want to build more."
The update introduced the ability to store characters in the player's inventory, as well as a long wished for confirmation button to prevent the accidental use of donuts.
The update also added new phrases for many of the game's characters, as well as a new sound for the Gilded Truffle.

After the Whacking Day features are unlocked in game, two tasks appear in the player's taskbook. One of them is "Be Sensible when Whacking", which is to "Collected [150] Whacked Snakes". Collecting 150 unlocks Fort Sensible, the first prize. To get the building immediately, the player must pay 15. To whack snakes, the player must tap on the snake icon in the corner of their screen. Whacking snakes will give the player either 1 or 1 Snake Egg.
Upon collecting whacked 150 snakes, the player unlocks Fort Sensible, which takes 24 hours to build. The player then receives "008: License to Whack", which is to "Collected [400] Whacked Snakes". The prize for collecting whacked 400 is the "Expert Whacking License". After unlocking the Expert Whacking License, a notice appears saying "You are now licensed to whack 5 snakes in each friend's Springfield every day so if you're a hermit, start making friends!".
Then the player receives "Little Girl in the Big Ten Pt. 1", which is to "Collected [1000] Whacked Snakes". The prize for collecting whacked 1,000 is Gymnastic Lisa, Lisa's first outfit, and a Balance Beam.
Upon collecting 1000 whacked snakes and unlocking Gymnastic Lisa and the Balance Beam, the player receives "Snake Rocks Rock!", which is to "Collected [2000] Whacked Snakes". The prize for collecting whacked 2,000 is a Snake Rocks.

The Snake Rocks appear in the player's inventory.
Then the player receives "King of the Whackers", which is to "Collected [3000] Whacked Snakes". The prize for collecting whacked 3,000 is the Snake Statue.
After unlocking the Snake Statue, the player receives "America's Former Pastime Pt. 1", which is to "Collected [4250] Whacked Snakes". The prize for collecting whacked 4,250 is the Duff Stadium.
After unlocking Duff Stadium, the player receives "Pet Snake", which is to "Collected [5500] Whacked Snakes". The prize for collecting that amount of snakes is the Pet Snake. After unlocking the Pet Snake and receiving 25 for doing so, the player receives "Willie, Show Us Yer Muscles", which is to "Collected [7500] Whacked Snakes". After unlocking Bare-Chested Willie and receiving 25 for doing so, the player receives "The Champ's Come-Back Pt. 1", which is to "Collected [10000] Whacked Snakes" - the prize for doing so is the Springfield Coliseum and Tatum. Upon unlocking Springfield Coliseum and Tatum, the player receives "More Than a Pretty Face - A Pretty Body Too Pt. 1", which is to "Collected [12500] Whacked Snakes", the reward for doing so is Sleep-Eazy Motel, which unlocks Miss Springfield as well. After unlocking the two, a notice appears, saying "Congratulations, you got all the Whacking Day prizes! Continue to whack snakes and you can win Whack Boxes that contain donuts and money." Then, the "Whacking Day prize" screen changes to show ten shaded Whack Boxes. Every thousand snakes, until 22,500, the player unlocks Whack Boxes which, as explained in the notice preceding the screen change, contain either donuts or money. Once the player has unlocked all Whack Boxes, in the middle of the notice where the item which the player would receive next if they raised enough snakes would appear, the text "Congratulations, you won all of the Whacking Day prizes" appears.
