Dialogue
Pt. 1
| After starting the update
|
|
It's a beautiful summer day and we have no family outing planned?!
|
|
You're right. There was nothing in any of our group texts or family calendar. Let’s come up with a plan!
|
|
Why not do the thing every family does to pretend they still love being together… go to the zoo!
|
|
Homer’s an ape but we don't have a zoo.
|
|
Then there’s only one thing to do -- we must demand a zoo!
|
| Task: "Make Simpsons Family Demand a Zoo" (x3). The jobs take place at the Town Hall or Brown House and take 6 seconds.
|
|
Joe, the rabble are rousing again. They're chanting "We want a zoo!" over and over.
|
|
Any funds for a zoo went to the apology furs I bought you. I suppose families could tour your closet to see minks, foxes, and cheetahs.
|
|
Sweetie, I'm afraid you're going to have to act more responsibly than that.
|
|
|
I've got it, we're nuking… the education department's budget!
|

|
Pt. 2
| After completing Pt. 1
|
|
Alright, who ordered a drunk Emu? This ain't a drink! I got a real drunk Emu here. I might be responsible for the “drunk” part. We gotta get it in a pen before it sobers up.
|
|
The animals are already arriving?! We haven't even built the first enclosure yet. Or found the tools to build it.
|
Task: "Place Springfield Zoo Entrance".
Task: "Place The Emu Experience". It takes 4 hours.
|
|
Ostentatious entrance, check. Emus, check. Great start, Springfielders! What else does a zoo need?
|
|
|
How ‘bout filing for bankruptcy? We've run out of funding.
|
|
Time to do what we always do in times of crisis -- nuke another city program. Health care? Homeless housing? So many wonderful choices.
|
|
Hold the cuts, Quimby. We still have some creative options to explore for acquiring those funds.
|
Quest reward:  100/ 100/ 100 and 10

|
Pt. 3
| After completing Pt. 2
|
|
So, what did you have in mind, Larry? Laundering? Gambling? Laundering AND Gambling?!
|
|
|
Nope, we're doing this legit. Bureaucracy will be our ally this day.
|
|
|
*shiver* Did anyone else feel a cold draft? No? Just me? Sorry, legally compliant paperwork terrifies me.
|
|
|
Relax, Joe, I'll handle the paperwork. All we need are a couple of kind-hearted volunteers and then we can go full non-profit.
|
|
We’ll collect tax-free grants from Federal environmental programs. And voila! Instant zoo!
|
Task: "Make Larry Kidkill Wisely Navigate Bureaucracy". The job takes place at the Town Hall or Brown House and takes 6 seconds.
Task: "Make Springfielders Volunteer at The Emu Experience" (x3). The jobs take place at The Emu Experience and take 6 seconds.
Task: "Place Zoo Wall".
|
|
What's worse: the TV execs running our theme parks, or the corporate shills exploiting an easy loophole in our tax codes?
|
|
I'm gonna go with TV execs.
|
|
|
At least this time we're treating the animals humanely.
|
| Quest reward: 100/100/100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 4
| After completing Pt. 3
|
|
Where are the bathrooms in this zoo?
|
|
And the food kiosks!
|
|
Or the gates on the animal enclosures?!
|
|
Er, um, uh-oh.
|
|
Won't the animals escape?!
|
|
|
Escape to where? Springfield? That’s a horrible place to live.
|
Task: "Tap Zoo Visitors" (x5).
Task: "Tap Zoo Visitors in Other Springfield" (x3).
|
| Quest reward: 100/100/100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 5
| After completing Pt. 4
|
|
|
Good news! If we relocate any invasive species we find the State will give us additional funding!
|
|
Woo hoo! I say the first invasive species we get rid of are zoo guests!
|
|
Ya, they're super annoying. Especially when they're blocking my view of the invasive animals.
|
|
|
Don't worry, I got a plan for that too. Man, I'm full of solutions today.
|
Task: "Place Animal Feeding Area".
Task: "Use Animal Feeding Area".
Task: "Send Invasive Tadpoles to Other Springfield".
|
| After finishing the "Use Animal Feeding Area" task
|
|
They could have just installed a PA system to announce when the zoo is closing. Why let a tiger loose?
|
| After finishing all tasks
|
|
Because it's more fun to see people run for the exits from a tiger!
|
|
And you're okay with this?
|
|
|
As long as the animals' quality of life is better here than out in the wild, I'm happy.
|
| Quest reward: 100/100/100 and 10

|
Pt. 6
| After completing Pt. 5
|
|
*yawn* This zoo is lame. It's no better than Moe's exotic petting zoo shenanigans from Christmas.
|
|
Since when is smuggling illegal exotic animals shenanigans?
|
|
“Shenanigans” covers a lot of crimes -- jaywalking, murder… It’s a lot less paperwork if everything’s lumped under that.
|
|
Well, my smuggling days are over.
|
|
|
I could look the other way on this one. Ralphie loves the big cats. The kid really likes his head licked.
|
| Task: "Unlock and Place Big Cat Country" (x4 hours).
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 7
| After completing Pt. 6
|
|
|
This zoo is missing something.
|
|
More animals? Space ice cream?!
|
|
|
No, more children. We need children in the park to draw the adults into the gift shop.
|
|
|
Wait, that’s gonna cut into my bar business.
|
|
|
If a kid comes into my joint and makes it to the bar, they're getting a beer. Them's the rules.
|
| Task: "Unlock Brittany Brockman".
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Pt. 8
| After completing Pt. 7
|
|
|
What do you rate my zoo, on a scale of one to ten? Ten being the only number I want to hear.
|
|
You call this a zoo? Where's the face painters, the smell of burnt kettle corn, the penny flattener thingie?!
|
|
Oof, with all the focus on getting animals we forgot about the side attractions!
|
|
|
What else do demanding kids demand in their zoo?
|
| Task: "Make Youngsters Demand More Things" (x3). The jobs take place at Springfield Zoo Entrance and take 4 hours.
|
|
|
That was an eye-opener. We need to up our stock on fidget spinners and USB charging stations.
|
|
But what about animals? We don't even have a hilarious camel that spits at people.
|
|
Animals are on the backburner until I find out what "lit" means and how to get it.
|
| Message
|
