The Simpsons: Tapped Out The Van Houtens content update
Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki
- This article is about The Van Houtens content update. For other Multi-Events, see TSTO Multi-Event Content Updates.
- "Milhouse's cousin Annika comes to town and upsets the natural order of the playground – now up is down, 2 + 2 = Fudge, and Milhouse is COOL?! Bart must restore balance to the schoolyard and take Milhouse down a few pegs (a job usually done by Milhouse himself). Will the other kids see Milhouse for the dweeb he is? Will Bart finally prove that dating your cousin is a bad idea? Honestly, we thought the severely inbred Royal House of Hapsburgs proved that one already..."
