Treehouse of Horror XXIV Event


 * Not to be confused with the 2012 Treehouse of Horror XXIII Event.

The Treehouse of Horror XXIV Event is the fifth major event and seventh major update for The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It was released on October 1, 2013 and will end on November 7, 2013. The prize system, which was previously included in the Whacking Day Event, made another appearance in this event. In this event, the player needs to collect GOO (as opposed to Snakes) in order to win more prizes. The player can acquire GOO (only available after building the Gypsy Fortune Teller Shop) by tapping ghosts and ghost characters. GOO can also be acquired by sending characters on jobs which reap it as income, however only some characters have these type of jobs. Also, the player's GOO balance cannot decrease, as the GOO is accumulated in order to reach milestones and win more prizes. The amount of GOO needed for the next item increases gradually. The first item, the Pumpkin House, requires 100 GOO to get.

Along with this update, the screen also changed, as there was a transparent greyish fog which covered the screen, Upon zooming in and out, the fog would get thicker and thinner. Some of the items from the 2012 Treehouse of Horror XXIII Event also returned and became available to purchase again, including the Mausoleum, Ray Gun, Dead Tree, Spooky Tree and Pumpkin Patch. Ghosts replaced the zombies from the previous Halloween event, and upon tapping a ghost or a ghost character the player receives some GOO.

Quests

Prizes
In this event, the prize system from the Whacking Day Event returned. This time the prizes had changed to suit the event along with a change in what the player needed to collect.

After the top prize is acheived, the player will contnue to collect GOO, and receive a prize at every 2000th GOO collected after 10000.
