Whacking Day 2013 Event

The Whacking Day Event is the fourth major event to take place in The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It started on 10 April 2013 and will end on 9 May 2013. Some of the new features in the event can be found below. The player will have to whack snakes in order to get a new currency of snakes which can be spent on rewards. When the player redeems rewards, whacked snakes will not decrease in the players account; instead there will just be a rule where once the player has collected a certain number of snakes they get a reward. The player will also have the ability to place sanke eggs in friends' Springfields to release a snake in their town. There is also a low chance that a snake egg may contain a donut. You will also get to whack snakes in other Springfields - maximum of three unless you buy a Whacking Day Lisence which allows you to whack more. An event for Whacking Day had been planned since the games launch, but due to the number of complaints, the Whacking Day Event for 2012 could not go ahead.

Along with all of the new content, game upgrades were added too. An option to turn on a 'confirm donut spend' box was added, as well as tick-boxes when clicking on the info for unlocking a building. Another major feature was the ability to watch movie clips for the game, including the introduction, building Bart's Treehouse, Sending Homer back home and building Moe's. Also, when visiting friends with Origin, they will no longer appear in alphabetical order, and will appear randomly every time you click on the neighbors screen. This is most likely because people complained that if thier Origin username began with a 'z' or a 'y' they did not get visited very much as they were always at the end of the list. The Whacking Day Event is the current installment in the game.
