The Level 44 content update for The Simpsons: Tapped Out is a content update that was released on September 5, 2014.
On Facebook on September 5, 2014 a string of numbers, 4461746162617365, was posted along with a teaser:
- A hacker's on the loose in Springfield and not even your deepest, darkest thoughts are safe. Especially that one you're thinking right now. And seriously, that's disgusting. Stay tuned for Level 44 and a new update to find out what this hacker wants!
It was found that the numbers, were ASCII for "Database"[1], implying the character Database would be implemented.[2]
The level up message is Miss Hoover saying "You are still playing at Level 44? The kids have every right to make fun of you!".

Gameplay
Database Recovery Pt. 1
After the player logs in
|
Power Plant
|
MELTDOWN IMMINENT. MELTDOWN IMMINENT. LAST CHANCE TO CARRY NO REGRETS.
|
|
Homer, good God, what are you doing?!
|
|
You can't let an elephant drink up all the reactor coolant!
|
|
It may be an incredible visual for all of us who can see inside the power plant, but it's also very dangerous.
|
|
What, so I should let this majestic creature slurp water from a curb puddle like some common hippo?
|
|
Spit out that coolant, Schnoozo!
|
Stampy
|
*trunk blast*
|
|
Homer, why ya trying to blow up the town for the...
|
|
…third time? Sixth? I lost count a while ago.
|
|
This Springfield is a crummy imitation of the old one, and everyone named Homer knows it!
|
|
Why it's missing this town's most famous landmark -- Honest John's Computers!
|
|
Are you guys talking about Honest John's Computers? Man, I miss that place.
|
|
Sure, Honest John's was the beating heart of this ‘burg. No one's disputing that.
|
|
I always loved how it looks like an auto-body shop, even though they sold ‘puters.
|
|
But I don't need to describe what Honest John's looks like. It's an image we all treasure.
|
|
Truly, I would rather be mayor of North Korea than run a Springfield without Honest John's.
|
|
Then let's just rebuild it in the town we have.
|
|
Trust me, no one wants to start at the beginning remaking this thing.
|
The player receives "Database Recovery Pt. 1" which is to "Build Honest John's Computers". It takes 24 hours.
|
Database
|
Gaaah! By Dr. Who’s Tardis, I’m back!
|
Database
|
Thank you for tirelessly working for my return, good citizens.
|
|
Who the hells is that?
|
|
Database Recovery Pt. 2
After tapping on Database's exclamation mark
|
Database
|
Delicious. To once more smell the grass and hear the jingles of home is wondrous.
|
|
Again, whose is ya again?
|
|
I heard we got a new kid! Is it...
|
|
…oh, it's Database. I was hoping for Hubert Wong.
|
Database
|
I promise my presence will delight and--
|
|
Whatever, nerdburger.
|
|
We've got Honest John's back! Time to celebrate by browsing marked up computers and computer accessories!
|
|
Ah, Honest John's. Such a magical place!
|
|
Why, their counting machines melt my hard drive into a floppy disk.
|
Database
|
That is not accurate to--
|
|
Ignore the child! To Honest John's and the Springfield of our dreams!
|
The player receives "Database Recovery Pt. 2" which is to "Make Townspeople Hang Out at Honest John's Computers (x10)" and "Make Database Be Alone". It takes 6 and 24 hours.
|
|
This mousepad looks like it's made of cheese. Oh bless you, Honest John's! Bless you!
|
|
Bonsai Vivant Pt. 1
After tapping on Database's exclamation mark
|
Database
|
Lisa! Want to spend time bonding as social equals? You're the only Superfriend this town has.
|
Database
|
I fear Ham is lost for all eternity.
|
|
I'd really like to, Data…Data…
|
Database
|
Database! Like the structured assemblage of information that can be sorted, modified, and deleted.
|
|
You seem neat and all, but I need to get to Honest John's. I want to buy up their USB memory sticks.
|
|
They'll be valuable, vintage collectibles once the aughts nostalgia craze happens.
|
Database
|
Oh. Okay. I guess I can focus on the hobby I'm famous for.
|
|
...Is it wheezing?
|
Database
|
Bonsai!
|
Database
|
Haven't you noticed whenever Bart's skateboarding or you're rejecting Milhouse, I'm in the background, next to a tiny tree? It's impossible to miss.
|
The player receives "Bonsai Vivant Pt. 1" which is to "Make Database Plant Bonsai". It takes 12 hours.
|
|
Yellow Blues
After tapping on Akira's exclamation mark
|
Akira
|
Ah, Springfield! It is pleasing to return to you, where I can do and say things referencing the culture of Japan.
|
Akira
|
I had feared I was trapped in yomi, the underground home of the dead in Shintoism. See, I'm doing it already.
|
|
It's terrific you're back, Akira!
|
|
Between you and me, Springfield has been looking awfully yellow lately.
|
Akira
|
Is that comment…because I'm Asian?
|
|
WHUUUUT?!
|
|
NO! No, I love races! And colors!
|
|
In fact, rainbow is my favorite sherbet flavor.
|
|
How could the color yellow apply to Asians? You're more pale than we are.
|
|
Bart! You're not helping.
|
Akira
|
Even though I possess an awareness of racist ideas like “yellowface” and “yellow peril”, when I look at my hands, I have to admit the boy is right.
|
|
Hey, you can't use those terms! They're only for fellow yellows to use with each other!
|
Akira
|
Mr. Homer, I have acted dishonorably and brought shame to my ancestors, two ways of feeling that pop culture says are appropriately Japanese-y.
|
Akira
|
To make amends, please bring your family to The Happy Sumo for a free dinner.
|
|
Alright! Why let anger eat away at you when you can eat away your anger?
|
The player receives "Yellow Blues" which is to "Make Akira Work a 24 Hour Shift" and "Make The Simpsons Family Take Advantage of a Free Mea (x6)". It takes 6 and 24 hours.

Fuguaboutit Pt. 1
After tapping on Akira's exclamation mark
|
Akira
|
Where are my loyal customers? The Happy Sumo used to be Springfield's Number One non-Krusty based restaurant.
|
Akira
|
We were *the* place to go for food-based dares!
|
|
Well, the culinary scene has gotten more adventurous since you've been gone.
|
|
Many Springfields already have a sushi establishment, Swanky Fish. And their health department grade is an A, I say with an accusing ‘ahem.'
|
Akira
|
So I have competition now? They may have superior sushi. But do they also serve sashimi?
|
|
Yes. They do both.
|
Akira
|
Sushi and sashimi? That's our entire menu!
|
Akira
|
I need to grab customers' attention. Now is the time for the return of FUGU!
|
Akira
|
Dumb thrill seekers provide great word of mouth.
|
Akira
|
On an unrelated note, how do you prepare Fugu?
|
The player receives "Fuguaboutit Pt. 1" which is to "Make Akira Serve Questionable Fugu" and "Make Springfielders Eat Questionable Fugu (x10)". It takes 1 and 2 hours.
