The Simpsons: Tapped Out St. Patrick's Day 2013 content update
The thirteenth content update was released on March 7, 2013 and was a St. Patrick's Day update. Unlike other themed events, this event had no limited time currency.
The update introduced Tom O'Flanagan and his pub to the game, as well as another themed character, the Leprechaun.
With the update came a new task for Lisa to "Meditate" for 30 minutes at the Springfield Buddhist Temple, however it was greyed out - because this building would not be unlocked until the content update after the one following. The thirteenth content update was released on March 7, 2013 and was a St. Patrick's Day update. The update comes with two new characters, one building and two decorations, one a premium decoration, one only obtainable after completing the event storyline.
Gameplay
Once installing the update:
- Homer: Woohoo! St. Patrick's Day is coming! The day we all pub crawl to celebrate St. Patrick and whatever he was or did. Too bad you can't pub crawl in a town with only one pub.
- Lisa: Didn't you and Grampa buy a pub when we went to Ireland?
- Homer: I miss that place. Sometimes I wish you could just press a button and build the buildings you wish were built.
Then the player receives "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 1", which is to "Build O'Flanagan's Pub". The building costs 
1,900, and takes 24 hours to build. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 
10.
Then the player unlocks Tom O'Flanagan and receives 25 for doing so.
After tapping on Tom O'Flanagan's exclamation mark:
- Tom O'Flanagan: This don't look like Ireland. Where are the Bonos? Where are The Edges?
- Homer: Tom O'Flanagan! Welcome to America!
- Tom O'Flanagan: America, is it? Well, one debt-ridden, overly-religious craphole's as good as the next, I s'pose.
The player then receives "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 2", which is to "Make Tom O'Flanagan Clean Beer Mugs". The task takes 8 hours and the task rewards the player with 275 and 70 when completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
- Homer: O'Flanagan's Pub is open for business!
- Tom O'Flanagan: Hold on, laddy. Runnin' a pub is no picnic! It's hard work -- work that takes arbitrary lengths of time to complete!
- Homer: I'm a guy who needs six hours to lounge in a pool but only six SECONDS to clean up nuclear waste. I know arbitrary, okay?
- Tom O'Flanagan: And there's other tasks that might seem, well, a wee bit pointless. Like they don't necessarily aid in running a business...
The player receives "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 3", which is to "Make Tom O'Flanagan Do an Irish Jig" and "Make Homer Promote his Bar". Both Tom O'Flanagan's task and Homer's task take 12 hours and both tasks reward the player with 420 and 100 when each completed on their own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
Then the player receives the following dialogue following the completion of Part 3.
- Cletus: Saw me a little green fella this morning - and not a drop of moonshine the night before.
- Lisa: That must be a leprechaun! According to Irish folklore, they're miniature old men who frequently have pots of gold.
- Homer: By *gold* do you mean grind currency or donuts?
- Lisa: Neither, I jut mean gold.
- Homer: But that's worth nothing in our world!
- Lisa: Still, it would be nice to have a Leprechaun in our town. We should build a wishing well to entice one!
- Leprechaun: Premium character, am I? Ain't that a fine thing?
The Leprechaun is a premium character that is unlocked following the purchase of the 
150 Wishing Well.
After tapping on Tom O'Flanagan's exclamation mark:
- Tom O'Flanagan: I only hope Americans have as a unhealthy a relationship with alcohol as my countrymen.
The player then receives "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 4", which is to "Make Tom O'Flanagan Serve Drinks" and to "Send [12] Springfield Residents to Drink at O'Flanagans". The characters that have "Drink at O'Flanagan's" tasks are Homer, Apu, Ned, Cletus, Skinner, Willie, Comic Book Guy, Grampa, Mrs. Krabappel and Barney - which adds up to 10 (9, if you don't have Barney). This means that the player will need to send either two or three characters to "Drink at O'Flanagans" twice. The reason for, if the player has Barney, why the quest requires two more characters to complete the task, is most probably because Lenny and Carl, characters to be unlocked in a future content update, may have been included in the number accidentally, similar to how Lisa's "Meditate" task was added accidentally. All of the tasks are 4 hours long and each task rewards the player with 175 and 45 when completed on their own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
After tapping on Tom O'Flanagan's exclamation mark:
- Tom O'Flanagan: That was a fine craic! Time to rest my heels.
The player then receives "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 5", which is to "Make Tom O'Flanagan Watch Old Horse Races". The task takes 60 minutes and the task rewards the player with 70 and 17 when completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
- Homer: I'd love to get the gang together for another boozefest. We always black out and have some presumably great times.
- Tom O'Flanagan: What's stopping ya?
- Homer: Marge says you can only do fun stuff in moderation for some stupid reason.
- Tom O'Flanagan: We had moderation in Ireland. Then the economy went belly-up, and we gave self-destruction a try. Best move we ever made.
Then the player receives "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 6". The quest is the same as "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 4", to "Make Tom O'Flanagan Serve Drinks" and to "Send [12] Springfield Residents to Drink at O'Flanagan's". Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
- Homer: Hey Willie, bet you're proud to have your very own Irish bar in Springfield?
- Willie: I'm not Irish, I'm Scottish! We're totally different kinds of English-haters!
- Homer: You both talk funny. That's pretty strong evidence you're the same people.
- Willie: Now I'm lookin' for a fight.
Then the player receives "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 7", which is to "Reach Level 10 and Build Willie's Shack" and to "Send Willie to Drink at O'Flanagan's". The task takes 4 hours and the task rewards the player with 175 and 45 when completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
After tapping on Tom O'Flanagan's exclamation mark:
- Tom O'Flanagan: Lookin' for a fight, Scot?
- Willie: Kind of you to notice, Irish.
- Homer: Guys, guys! You're Americans now! Here, the Scottish and Irish put aside their differences. And unite with all Americans of European descent in looking down on OTHER immigrant groups. Whose only crime is arriving here a few years later than we did. Which is the worst crime ever.
- Willie: *Sniff* That's beautiful...
- Tom O'Flanagan: Give us a hug, Willie!
Then the player receives "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 8", which is to "Send Willie to Drink at O'Flanagan's". The task takes 4 hours and the task rewards the player with 175 and 45 when completed on its own. Upon completing the quest, the player receives 100 and 10.
After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
- Homer: Oohhh, my head! I never thought I'd say this, but this holiday involves too much drinking.
- Tom O'Flanagan: Homer, to thank you for uniting us Gaels, Willie and I created a special gift for you... using his groundskeeping abilities and my Irishness!
- Willie: We've put it in your storage.
- Homer: Please. Not so loud, guys.
Then the player receives the final "St. Paddy's Day" quest, "St. Paddy's Day Pt. 9", which is to "Place the Shamrock Topiary". Once tapping "Do it", the player is taken to the inventory, where the Shamrock Topiary is. The Shamrock Topiary is a decoration only available through finishing this quest line. The decoration improves the player's Vanity rating. Upon completing the quest, and placing the Shamrock Topiary, the player receives 100 and 10, ending the "St. Paddy's Day" quest ennealogy.
