Hello, I'm a new member of this wikia. I'm sixteen and live in Australia currently (although in truth, I am a Kiwi at heart, having grown up in New Zealand). I began playing The Simpsons Tapped Out in June 2013. I've always been a big fan of the TV sitcom, so setting up my very own Springfield is pretty cool for me. I'm still very much a novice player, and am looking to redesign my town very soon, though I will probably expand my land as far as possible before doing so...

As far as strategy goes, I can give a few tips and tricks (some of which I wish I'd used early on in the game, like house farming). Understandably, I'm not a donut buyer - over the two years I have been playing I saved up 250 donuts without purchasing them with real life cash - and don't really like spending them as they are, to me, a very valuable resource in the game. Due to college I might not be able to go on every day, and during the christmas period I may not be active due to holidays (usually in NZ with no wifi), but I try to go on every chance I get. I hope I can be helpful for any questions that are asked, and keep this profile updated!

This is a work in progress. I will update this over time, and add more things.

Tips and Tricks

 * If one of your Origin Friends seems inactive, don't delete them right away. Give them a chance to become active again, as they may be away on holiday without any wifi - which is the case for me most christmas peroids, explaining why I have little Xmas content in my town. If a friend looks inactive, give them maybe four or five weeks to log back in before considering unfriending them.
 * It's already very well known, but I'm putting this here for the newer players: tap Homer to bring up his job list, then tap him ten times. This little easter egg earns you 10 donuts and the exclusive Jebidiah Statue.
 * If you're just starting out in Tapped Out, buy a lot of coloured houses. House Farming is a very effective way of getting lots of XP and cash. Brown houses are best for this in the first levels, later on you should move onto Purple Houses, Blue Houses, etc.
 * Even if you aren't fond of House Farming, I still recommend doing it, until you have nearly run out of space in your town or you have lots of money, in which case you could easily sell the houses you don't want or need afterwards. Same with Kwik-E-Marts, Gulp-n-Blows and Krusty Burgers. As an alternative, you could easily create a really good residential area with all those houses, all you have to do is decorate it a bit.
 * Get every one of your Characters to do a job if they can, this is how you will build up cash fast, as the rewards for finishing jobs is better than money earned from buildings. Likewise, when assigning jobs, don't forget about Cletus' Farm and the Channel 6 building; growing crops / broadcasting shows gets you loads of cash as well.
 * Log onto the game over five consecutive days (five days in a row) to recieve a free Mystery Box. This is better than spending your hard earned donuts on one, so a little patience can get save your premium currency for something the Mystery Box can't get you.
 * Once you have expanded out onto the oceanside and started your Squidport, get as many Boardwalk sections as you can. It will be well worth it, as the Squidport Quests require a certain amount of these to place buildings and continue the questline, as well as getting you more space for decorating your very own Squidport. Of course, boardwalk sections become more expensive and time consuming to make over time. You can always put your money towards other quests and buildings and then come back to making these boardwalks. Try to make them at any time you get the chance.
 * Krustyland uses its own unique currency: Krustyland Tickets. Attractions here can get quite costly, so having characters who can earn you tickets in Krustyland can be helpful; getting them to do jobs here gets much more tickets than the rides earn you. Only a handful of characters can perform tasks here, like Homer, Milhouse and Kearney. The others you have back in Springfield will do fine on their own getting cash there.
 * Obtain characters at the earliest convenience; if you have two buildings to be built and one offers a character and the other doesn't, build the one that unlocks you another character, so that they can help earn more cash faster. The more characters you have, the more cash and XP they can get for you.
 * It helps to log on to your game a lot during a major event, in order to earn as much of the event's prizes as possible. An example would be during the Tap Ball event: Logging on every four hours to challenge other players to Tap Ball and get the rewards for doing so can make all the difference to getting the prizes or not.

I hope these help! :)
