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.

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.

There's no mystery. You just want to break in to a nice house.

Yeah...

This place is crazy! Furniture from Grampa times! Movie posters from non-Bruce Willis movies! And no TV!
|
|
I know -- it's so cool!
|
|
But there's no TV, Lisa. NO TV!!!
|
|
Don't you see, Dad? These people are striving for a more eclectic and artistic existence.
|
|
Hmm... Maybe I should become a cool parent.
|
|
But that would take a lifetime of appreciation of music, art, culture...
|
|
Or I could dress cool and no one would know the difference.

The Day The Earth Stood Cool Pt. 3
After tapping on Cool Homer's exclamation mark

|
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?
|
|
Now you're ready to experience foreign films, art walks, Mumford and Sons...
|
|
Or, I could just walk around, acting like I'm better than other people.

The Day The Earth Stood Cool Pt. 4
After tapping on Cool Homer's exclamation mark
|
|
Man, all that judging and humble bragging has left me parched.
|
|
Perhaps I can interest you in an inexpensive and flavorless beer?
|
|
Could I act like the beer is somehow superior because it's crappy and cheap?
|
|
As long as you pay for it.
|
|
Yoink!
