So far, fourteen  content updates for  The Simpsons: Tapped Out have been released. The first and the second were released in September 2012, the third in October, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth, and the seventh in November, the eighth in December, the ninth and the tenth in January 2013, the eleventh and the twelfth in February 2013 and the thirteenth and the fourteenth in March 2013.

The first content update
On September 21, 2012, the first content update was released for the game. The new level 21 was introduced - bringing a new building and character, as well as bringing several new 'decorations'. Also, the character Kearney was introduced as a Premium character (a character that is bought in-game with donuts). Level 12 also came for new players with a new building - the Springfield Library - which a player could build after the character  Bart Simpson is notified that he may have to  repeat the fourth grade by  Seymour Skinner and that he must study. The library's first visitors are Bart and Martin (a new character unlocked when the library is built), who study for a 'meaningless' test. Finally, the  Springfield Observatory was made available as a premium item. The update was 40.3 MB.

The second content update
The  second content update was released on September 28, 2012. The Duff Racer was the only thing added to the game; it was added to celebrate the  Sea son 24  premiere " Moo nshine River <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.046875px;">" on September 30, 2012. When players opened the game they received a notice reading: "Here's a Duff Racer from the Springfield Grand Prix to celebrate the Season 24 premiere on Sunday!"

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.046875px;">The third content update
<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.046875px;">The  third content update<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.046875px;"> (version 3.0.0.) was available to download on October 3, 2012. This was a huge update, introducing new Halloween characters and buildings. Players are now able to squish zombies after building the Springfield Cemetery, TP and egg friends' houses, and unlock new Halloween quests. Also, new objects have been released: a Pylon, a Gas Pump, a Patio Table, a See-Saw and a Stop Sign - all of which are unlocked on the new level introduced in the update - Level 22. Edna Krabappel's apartment block and Edna are available to unlock in the new level 22, after completing the quest "Staff Needs". <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.046875px;">The player needs to be on Level 5 to unlock the Halloween features. Once the Mayan calendar has been completed, the Mayan God asks the player a question - if the player answers correctly they get Mayan Homer and 10 donuts, but if they answer incorrectly they don't get 10 donuts. A clue to the answer is in the <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.046875px;">  season 24<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.046875px;">  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.046875px;">episode " Treehouse of Horror XXIII<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.046875px;">". <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.046875px;">If you complete the Treehouse of Horror XXIII character collection, which consists of the Mayan God, the Talking Krusty Doll, Kang, Burns Monster and the Raven, you get $ <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.046875px;">1000 and  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19.046875px;">20XP.

<p style="line-height:19.046875px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">The Halloween features were available until early November, between November 5, 2012 and November 8, 2012 - and until that date, Mystery Boxes were Wicked Treat Boxes. Despite the Treehouse of Horror Update Guide in the game listing the date of October 31, 2012 for when the Treehouse of Horror event will last until, the update's content was still in the game between November 5, 2012 and November 8, 2012. As of the fifth content update, characters are no longer able to go on Halloween quests with the exception of Halloween characters, such as Kang, and costumes, such as Witch Marge, though they now earn cash instead of treats. On February 26/27, 2013, a user on the TSTO Players forum posted a list (with links to images) of characters and buildings sent to appear in then-future content updates. The user also found a black-and-white 'unlock' image of Mayan Marge, a character that possibly would have introduced with this content update.
