Gameplay[edit]

Big Jamshed[edit]

Big Jamshed Pt. 1[edit]

After the user logs in on January 13th: My son little Jamshed is coming back to Springfield. He's been, as they say, stuck in limbo! I'm not too good at limbo. Those sticks are racist against fat guys. Not that limbo! I am talking about the state of transitional oblivion! In other words, college. If Sanjay is owned: Task: Make Sanjay Prepare a Room for Jamshed (4h, Brown House) If Sanjay is not owned: Task: Make Apu Prepare a Room for Jamshed (4h, Brown House) Word on the street's that your son is taking over your spot at the Kwik-E-Mart. It's true. I have de-cockroached my last Squishee machine. I want to do something different with my life. Ah, the old midlife crisis. Too bad you're not young, rad, hip, ballin' and buzzfeedin' like me, Daddy-o. Mr. Simpson, you're a walking monument of a midlife crisis. Shows what you know. Dr. Hibbert said according to my cholesterol count my midlife happened when I was 20. System Message Check the store for limited time clothing and other monuments... the non-metaphorical type! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Big Jamshed Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Jay's exclamation mark: I'm ready to take my jam to the Kwik-E-Mart! And all it took was a $200,000 business degree. Now it's time for some hot yoga! Ah, my son – with maturity you have abandoned your anti-traditional views! Nah, Pops, I'm still not down with that Indian shizz. Yoga's just what's chill right now. Task: Make Jay Do Yoga (8h) You look a little... older than I remember. Yeah, doing a full course load at Wharton while mopping floors in a bank all night will do that to a kid. Hmmm... nobody around here ever seems to age. I credit clean living. And yes, I said that without a trace of self-reflective irony. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Big Jamshed Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Jay's exclamation mark: Why don't I find it surprising that all the food is packed with unhealthy preservatives? What's your beef with preserved fake-beef? The scientists at the National Preservatives Council say it's good for you. You should listen to my science Homer. Look at me, I'm in awesome shape! Stop by, and I'll show you how to make your favorite foods with kale and cauliflower. Who knows, maybe one day you'll be able to manage a pushup! I'll have you know I'm an expert at the "lowering down" part of pushups. Task: Make Jay Prepare Food at the Kwik-E-Mart (2h, Kwik-E-Mart) Task: Make Homer Shop for Broceries (2h, Kwik-E-Mart) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Big Jamshed Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Jay's exclamation mark: Come by the Kwik-E-Mart. We have healthy vegetarian culture foods, and our new inclusive signature: the LGBTQIA sandwich! Sounds like my kind of lunch food! It's lentils, goat cheese, bacon, tomato, quinoa, iceberg lettuce and asiago. Wait a minute there! There's bacon in there! How can you say that's vegetarian? I said vegetarian CULTURE. Pure vegetarianism is so "the aughts." Why would you want to live without bacon? He's got you there, Lisa. I eat so much of the stuff that people are always telling me they smell bacon when I'm around. Task: Make Jay Work a Kwik-E-Mart 1hr Shift (1h, Kwik-E-Mart) Task: Make Springfielders Buy Health Food [x6] (3h, Kwik-E-Mart) I sense a bit of hypocrisy. You're anti-Kwik-E-Mart, AND you work here? It's all about the Benjies, girl-dude. I need to maintain my lifestyle somehow. And the Kwik-E-Mart isn't going anywhere. You'd literally need a tank to take this place out! Cool coincidence! The police department is considering getting a tank right now! No, piggy, I don't mean LITERALLY literally! I want to crush the Kwik-E-Mart from the inside and then set up my own store! A totally millennial, religiously void, and secular store! How I wish for such a place! I can grant that wish for your own store... or for a tank! Whichever method you use, just offer me some donuts! System Message Check the Store now for new temporarily available items with new quests. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Big Jamshed Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: That's strange. I'm feeling more aggressive, my voice is getting a little deeper, and... helllllo, Sherri and Terri! Teehee, hi, Bart! Another grey hair... my eye wrinkles are expanding... my tramp stamp is fading. WHAT'S GOING ON? HI EVERY OLD BODY!!! What it seems you are experiencing is the natural process of aging! Aging? But I anti-oxidize and hydrate every day! What caused all of this? Is it something in the food? In all actuallyness, it is something NOT in the food! The preservatives in the terrible food you used to eat kept you preserved! Who'd a thunk it?! Task: Make Springfielders Buy Unhealthy Food [x6] (3h, Kwik-E-Mart) System Message Tune into this week's Simpsons and find out what else Jay plans to do with the Kwik-E-Mart. Sunday 8/7 central on FOX! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Hypocritical Millennial Hipster[edit]

Hypocritical Millennial Hipster Pt. 1[edit]

After tapping on Jay's exclamation mark: Finally, a store of my own! The junk food I sell will be healthy junk! That ain't happenin. Yer terrible food rots out mah stomach! That's only because the preservatives in your food have destroyed your gut's ability to produce stomach acid. Nah-uh! My home-grown stuff ain't gonna rot nowhere! At least once it's away from that super-fungus in the fields... You know what, awesome call! I'm going to open up a market to sell local foods! Cletus, you're a genius! Tell that to that gol-dern Tic Tac Toe-playin chicken I lost my house to. Task: Make Jay Convert Quick & Fresh to a Farmer's Market (12h, Quick & Fresh) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Hypocritical Millennial Hipster Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Jay's exclamation mark: It seems that there's a lot of interest from everyone in town selling their food in MY store! Tha's excellent! Here I can sell my moonshine to you shoe-wearing city-freaks! You do know that selling moonshine is illegal, right? According to your gummint, marrying your mother is, too. Your corrupt laws don't apply 'round here! They don't? Then I am going to sell some of those "bags of sugar" from the evidence locker. Perfect! I'll get last week's meat scraps. Better than just using it to poison the cafeteria rats. Task: Make Springfielders Sell Their Home Grown Food [x6] (4h, Quick & Fresh) Awesome! The store is filled with people selling their own food! And I get a profit cut! Now, if I just wait a little longer, the entire millennial population of Springfield will pour right in! That would be me! Umm... Is there any position open for a job here? I need some ramen money. Quest reward: 100 and 10

After buying the Police Tank: With this tank, Springfield's police equipment is now on par with the rest of the country. The country of Kazakhstan! You think this tank will help in the war on crime?

He's in my store, what are you doing with that tank? I don't think he's too clear on that.

MTV, baby! Listen, you should really buy my oldschool jailbroken myPad. There's an app on it with access to my order-out menu. Eleven hundred dollars! Done and done! Task: Make Cool Homer Place Orders for Food (4h, Quick & Fresh) What gives? All I see on this myPad menu is chard, cauliflower and the laziest salads I've ever seen. What is a wedge salad anyway?
