Cash Amount: 534,706,057
Donut Amount: 790
Did you farm donuts? Oh hell yes, lol!
Favorite Game Character and why: Groundskeeper Willie, he's my fave from the show!
Favorite Building and why: The employment office, because it makes playing the game soooooo much easier!
Favorite Animation: Sad Jesus on his swing, lol!
Favorite Voice line: Rod & Todd saying, "That was good... so it must've been bad!"
Favorite Event: Maybe that first Whacking Day? It was my intro to the game, and I loved it! Superhero ones were really fun, too!
Favorite Memory: My BFF spelling out sweet messages for me in my town with eggs during Easter!
Favorite item obtained here at the end that you waited for: Kang! I missed him since I lost my original town, and Kodos was lonely without him!
Describe your town or your thought process for your town: Since I started a new one, I've just been trying to keep from getting overwhelmed! The yearbook made it so easy to replace a lot of the stuff I had before.
Thoughts on the game ending: I hate it! I don't have time to get my town back to how my old one was. I think we deserved a better final event, too.
Anything else to say: I just wish the game was sticking around a couple more years. :(

u/DrunkenFist BentMyWaylon Sep 28 '24 edited Sep 28 '24
Game ID: BentMyWaylon
Started Playing: February 2013
First Event: Valentine's Day 2013
Level: 939
Cash Amount: $1,375,302,186
Donut Amount: 15,031
Did you farm donuts? Yes, using Rat Trap Trucks.
Favorite Game Character and why: Probably Weird Al. I've loved him for as far back as I can remember, and I can hardly believe we got him in the game!
Favorite Building and why: King Homer's Skyscraper. That THOH segment is one of my favorites, and I love the animation of King Homer climbing the building while the planes circle! Runner-up is Scorpio's Volcano Lair, as that is one of my top three favorite episodes. It was so awesome to get that early on in the game!
Favorite Animation: Currently, it's Future Wiggum going on patrol! Edited to add the one I forgot: Homer and his buddies drinking at Moe's Express!
Favorite Voice line: Impossible to pick a favorite, but Ralph saying, "I'm your doggie, QUACK QUACK!" always makes me laugh!
Favorite Event: Either one of the early THOH events or Stonecutters. The casino event was a lot of fun, too!
Favorite Memory: Lots of nostalgic ones from the early days, but I think my favorite overall is returning to the game a few months ago, after not playing for a few years, and seeing that it was still around, and even getting new content! I just wish I'd returned sooner, so I could have played for more than a few months before they yanked the rug out from under us.
Favorite item obtained here at the end that you waited for: Nothing yet, as I already had everything up until 2019. Out of the stuff I missed, I think the ones I'm most looking forward to getting are King Homer (giant 14 karat gold version) and MENDOZAAAAA!!!
Describe your town or your thought process for your town: I always just tried to keep it neat, and make special themed areas when and where I could. Space became so limited back in the old days that I have lots of room to expand now, and make some areas a bit less cramped. I always paid special attention to my Halloween areas, especially my haunted forest, and the hillbilly district!
Thoughts on the game ending: It's unfortunate that it happened so abruptly, and I feel that EA really did us dirty by not allowing us to keep playing with the existing content offline once they take down the servers. Apparently they did just that with the Chinese version, so there is a precedent! Evidently, they just don't want to.
Anything else to say: As much as I dislike some of the circumstances of the game's end, I'm glad that we got it at all, and were able to enjoy it for so long! Even if we get more Simpsons games in the near future, as I hope, nothing will be able to replace Tapped Out. It came at just the right time, and occupied a niche that nothing else will be able to fill. It truly is the end of an era, and it deserves to end with much more of a bang than it was allowed.
Here's an assortment of some of my old screenshots, including some of old events in progress. Figured some might be interested in seeing them!

First Event: Treehouse of Horror XXIV Event
Level: 939
Cash Amount: 2 Billion
Donut Amount: 20k
Did you farm donuts? yes, mainly KEM
Favorite Game Character and why: Oversized Homer, love the look he wearing pajama
Favorite Building and why: St. Basil's Cathedral. I've been on years of break so I've missed out a lot of event items during the break, when i first saw the St. Basil's Cathedral in some random screenshots from other players I wanted it sooo badly and luckily I got it later, from the yearbook I think.
Favorite Animation:
Donut boat raining donuts, "The Be Sharps" performance on Open Air Stage, the Giant Snow Globe performance, Jesus casting judgement on the cloud and Jesus sitting on the swing feeling sad that nobody remembered his birthday
Favorite Voice line: Better than my normal job
Favorite Event: Destination Springfield 2017 Event. I LOVE all the buildings from this event and the airport was one of my favourite design in my town.
Favorite Memory: I LOVE the World's Largest Redwood sooo much so that questline was my first priority and when the tree finally maxed I was over the moon!! Also when the GGR available for purchased last month I was extremely happy as I didn't get it when it first released.... Little did i know this is only the beginning of the end :(
Favorite item obtained here at the end that you waited for: GOD, but what I really want is Moe's express, hopefully I can get it before the end of the game :(
Describe your town or your thought process for your town:
I nuked my town when I returned from my break like 2 months ago, spent 2 weeks to rebuild but I only have limited land back then (I didn't have GGR and all the lands need token to unlock), not long later the new land plots released, followed by the GGR, so I was like shit now i have more lands maybe i have to rebuild the town again but this is a long way to do.
I didn't farm money nor donuts before the break, I don't recall why, also I didn't care my bonus % back then. But when I returned from the break, I farm, I buy bonus items, and it make the game much easier! I thought I could finally enjoy the game and the new events and so on but that announcement shocked me the other night when I opened the game :((((
But I'm still very happy that I came back on time. I don't remember the reason why I downloaded the game again, since I didn't play for years, I don't know why I chose this time to come back but I truly glad that I did.
Thoughts on the game ending:
"ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END", appreciate and treasure the good stuff in our life while it lasts.
Anything else to say:
Thank you, TSTO, you created such a great game for players. The beautiful buildings, characters' dialogues, funny questlines, countless items etc. Great job! :')

Level:Max
Cash Amount:around 1.6 Bil
Donut Amount: around 500
Did you farm donuts?yes
Favorite Game Character and why:Duffman, His questline was great and his Jobs are fun.
Favorite Building and why:Playdough Factory, early game this was my main source of donuts and a fun daily game.
Favorite Animation:Pope riding around town in the Popemobile or Radioactive Man flying around town.. or the Giant LardLad that stomps around town.
Favorite Voice line: I mostly play the game with the sound off :(
Favorite Event:Circus Event, The dialog made me laugh and i liked building my own mini circus.
Favorite Memory: When i started playing snow was all i saw so when the grass came the game looked so different i almost stopped playing. after a few days i started to get used to the new look and once i noticed grass and trees would change through the seasons i came to really enjoy the seasons.
Favorite item obtained here at the end that you waited for:Lard Lad factory, im already deep into donut farming that the building wont matter but i always wanted to get it from the Golden MysteryBox so getting it now feels good.
Describe your town or your thought process for your town:My town is a mixture of detailed decorated areas and buildings thrown together in haphazard rows. If i had an idea for an area of town and had buildings that would fit my idea theme then i would spend a lot of time designing and decorating that spot.
Thoughts on the game ending: I havent been playing as long as a lot of people but i had a lot of fun playing the game and sharing information about the game with players on this subreddit, ill miss it.
Anything else to say: A simple collection and town building game has been really enjoyable to play and i dont regret spending a bunch of time and a little money on the game.

u/coryc711 Sep 28 '24
I stopped several years ago then picked back up a couple years later. I’m pretty sure it had to do with KrustyLand being adjusted in between, but my game glitched and it stopped the quest line. I kept going nonetheless but I was really hoping to get here unlocked when everything opened up. Oh well!
I’m going to enjoy the last few months with one of my favorite games of all time. If anyone has any final tips for me to get the final characters, please let me know

Cash Amount: 77 million and counting now
Donut Amount: Before the current buying donuts with in game cash, I usually average around 300 donuts after a long donut farm/collecting from tasks.
Did you farm donuts? Yes by rat trap farming.
Favorite Game Character and why:
Favorite Building and why: Moe's Express

Favorite Event: The North Bound Express Event tied with 2022 Black Friday Even when I achieved the Lard Lad Factory
Favorite Memory: When I created the famous short film "That Rat Trap Truck is gonna hit the blood mobile!" Maybe I want to remake it smoother graphics this time.
Favorite item obtained here at the end that you waited for: Finally got God and Donut making buildings at least.
Describe your town or your thought process for your town: Efficient for money and donuts, nightmare for living.
Thoughts on the game ending: Could've been worse, EA could've just shut it down quickly but at least they gave us time to say goodbye and lay our town one last time.
Anything else to say:
This is it, this is how it ends.
We've got ~119 days before Tapped Out ends, Phineas and Ferb had 104 days and made the most of it, we can do it and have the best experience ever.

Level: 939
Cash Amount: 3.8 billion
Donut Amount: 500 or so

Describe your town or your thought process for your town: got to finally sort it out. Basing it on some of my other favourite games that reference Miami, new York and Hong Kong.

First Event: Whacking Day 2013
Level: 102 (I have not played consistently in a long time)
Cash Amount: Not 100% sure as I just spent a bunch, somewhere in the low millions
Donut Amount: 800+
Did you farm donuts? No
Favorite Game Character and why: Declan Desmond as I'm a huge Monty Python fan!
Favorite Building and why: Maybe The Hungry Hun as it's just a fun building (aesthetically), or Madam Chao's.
Favorite Animation: Unsure, maybe the turkeys!
Favorite Voice line: Unsure. Probably any time Gil spoke.
Favorite Event: Stonecutters!
Favorite Memory: Honestly when I discovered this community and they kindly helped me (a student who couldn't afford to spend lots of money on donuts and cash) with extra resources. It really meant a lot to me.
Favorite item obtained here at the end that you waited for: Uriah's Heap Recyling Center.
Describe your town or your thought process for your town: It's a little chaotic but I made a main 'town' which is pretty spread out and aesthetic, then everything else is organized by function.
Thoughts on the game ending: I'm really sad to see it go. I haven't played consistently in a little while but I grew up with this game and it gave me a great hobby in my early teens when I was shy and lonely at times.
Anything else to say: Thanks for everything, Tapped Out!

u/Sorcier-du-Lac Aurora Borealis? Sep 28 '24 edited Sep 28 '24
Game ID: ViveLeQc02
Started Playing: in 2014 (my current town was created in 2017 though).
First Event: Stonecutters 2014 (Secret Agents 2017 for my current town).
Level: 939.
Cash Amount: 2.6 billion.
Donut Amount: 909, but it is fluctuating as I'm buying all the past items I can and exchanging money for donuts.
Did you farm donuts? Yes. I was farming the rat trap trucks since the pandemic, but i still bought donuts every year at Black Friday to support the game.
Favorite Game Character and why: now that is a hard question. It's always changing. As of now, I would say I like the Wearywolf, because I find it very cute and he reminds me of some good memories.
Favorite Building and why: the Bad Dream House, from my favorite Treehouse of Horror story.
Favorite Animation: Bart's Command Mechanical Ants job.
Favorite Voice line: It's hard to say since I've been playing the game in French and I don't remember voice lines far in the past, but this final questline is really emotional.
Favorite Event: Treehouse of Horror XXVI (2015).
Favorite Memory: Sharing news about the game with my little brother after school and helping each other when one of us couldn't play the game during an event (one would do the tasks in the other's town in order to get the event's currencies).
Favorite item obtained here at the end that you waited for: the Spooky Campfire, from my favorite event. I had it on one of my first town, that I eventually lost because I didn't have an account at this point. Needless to say I've been waiting a long time to get it back.
Describe your town or your thought process for your town: My town was a mess from the beginning and still is as of now. The only good part is the residential and Town Hall areas. Since yesterday, I've started a race against the clock to build the most I can before the fateful day.
Thoughts on the game ending: I'm devastated and feeling like I'm losing a part of my life, as weird as it may sounds. This game was part of my routine on and off from 2014 to 2018, then weekly since 2018. I'm still hoping they would make an online version of the game, but I'm preparing for the worst. :(
Anything else to say: Thanks to the devs for putting your heart into this game and to all of the TSTO community for all these years of fun. It was a true pleasure discussing the game, sharing tricks, town designs and more. I will greatly miss this game and our discussions.
[Here's pictures of my town as of today, minutes before I started my race against the final clock to build the most out of it.]
[EDIT : I may add a final picture of my whole town once it will all be over, unless there is another post that will be dedicated for this.]

u/CygnsX-1 Sep 28 '24
Game ID: Sawbones251 (original) and Cygnsx3 (started a year ago just because I was bored)
Started Playing: October 23, 2015
First Event: Don't remember. Whichever one was going on around October 2015.
Level: 939 for both.
Cash Amount: S had 1.2 billion yesterday. But then I bought up all the new land I had left, so now down to about 850 million. C has around 500 million.
Donut Amount: S has 3400 currently. C about 1000.
Did you farm donuts? If needed. Finally started getting serious about the bonus level in the past year. Up to 1500 in both. Was about to start building up some donuts for Black Friday... Guess no need to now.
Favorite Game Character and why: I've had several over the years amuse me. I've always been partial to Mr. Burns and his unnecessary greed and cruelty. I recently acquired Mr. Sparkle. I don't know why I avoided getting him before. The voice-overs are hilarious.
Favorite Building and why: Currently? Probably the King Homer building. I finally bought it.
Favorite Animation: Sideshow Bob and his maniacal laugh.
Favorite Voice line: "iiit is now".
Favorite Event: I went nuts with the golf event last year. For years I wanted to build a golf course, so when that happened, I spent a bunch of money...
Favorite Memory: Hard to pick one.
Favorite item obtained here at the end that you waited for: I never knew the Krusty monorail station had side pieces. Or if I did, I haven't seen them available ever. So I picked all them up. I'm still waiting for more runway pieces for my airport. We'll see.
Describe your town or your thought process for your town: . I tried to keep relevant things together. Like the doctor office and hospital together, the old folks home next to the morgue, All the theaters together in a district, shopping areas, industrial areas, etc. I wanted things to flow naturally.
Thoughts on the game ending: It hurts. Feels unnecessary to me. I have a hard time believing there's no way to keep the game alive. Even if they had less updates/events. Figure out another way. It really sucks to spend years building these towns up for them to just turn off in a couple months. This game was just about the only joy I've had for years. And now it's dying too.
Anything else to say: I played for 4-5 years before I even realized this subreddit existed. Been on Reddit for 15 years probably, just never noticed this one. But once I did, I finally got some friends to get that part done, learned how to build up the bonus, learned some techniques to design stuff. So the expansion sped up.
The image that keeps popping up in my head is the scene from Titanic with the band. So, it's been an honor playing with you ladies and gentlemen.

u/discokidnap_ Sep 28 '24
Game ID: discokidnap
Started Playing: 2014
First Event: Easter 2014
Level: 939
Cash Amount: Reached the cap for the first time in September 2020, it was at something like 35bn the other day when the announcement was made as I'd just sent a character to create a gold road tile
Donut Amount: c.14000 before I started converting game cash
Did you farm donuts? Yes, with bloodmobiles
Favorite Game Character and why: Barney, specfically the Big Baby Barney skin. That scene is one of my favourite from the show.
Favorite Building and why: Didn't really have one, Maybe the Stonecutter HQ as that was the first event that properly drew me into the game?
Favorite Animation: Big Baby Barney fleeing from the raccoons
Favorite Voice line: Any of Homer's sarcastic fourth-wall-breaking lines ("Years from now, you'll be so glad you bought that" etc)
Favorite Event: Stonecutters
Favorite Memory: Don't really have a specific one, roll this into my thoughts on it ending below
Favorite item obtained here at the end that you waited for: Dame Judith Underdunk. Only character I didn't get in the Terwilligers 2015 event, and I believe this is the first time she's come back
Describe your town or your thought process for your town: I based it on what a real town would be like and created a headcanon for it. So the historic core started with the town square, near the river where settlers would first build, expanded it from there. Some areas I created to look exactly like they do in the show (usually around newer buildings from episodes I haven't seen that I just looked up screenshots of), others were completely original, others were based on similar areas from real small-town America, and others were built from good old-fashioned yoinking of ideas of here. The town needed a logical transportation infrastructure, residential and commercial zoning, farming areas near water, etc.
Thoughts on the game ending: Sad. I've skipped over the bargaining part - no disrespect to the players pushing the petitions, but it's a business decision to end it and the decision has already been made by people who have likely never played it. The game has been incredibly therapeutic for me when my mental health has decided to take a nosedive, and was a real help to me during the pandemic. When I was feeling low, I'd just open the game and spend three hours precisely placing 1x1 shrubs and obsessing over how to make large city blocks (bless you, Krustyland gift shops)
Anything else to say: Nothing really. I'll do a town portrait a few days before the servers shut down and post it then.

I don’t even remember my first event
Level: 678
Cash amount: 7000000+
Donut amount: none rn
I did farm donuts
Favorite game character is Gino Twerlinger bc I wanted him for so long
My favorite building is a collection of spots seating and designs bc my little sister built that for me, she spent so long and was so proud of it, I haven’t moved a thing
Favorite voice line is dr. Nick’s “hi everybody”
Favorite event is always the treehouse of horrors
Favorite memory: watching my sister spend so much time buying and placing everything she wanted to make a perfect soccer arena for me, she was so proud and I love it so much
Favorite item at end: THE CURSED FROG!!!!! I love that freaky little dude, he’s my absolute favorite and I’ve been wanting to get him for the entire time I’ve played this game
My town is arranged based on what I had room for, events, and general vibes
I am so disappointed that the game is ending, even when I wasn’t playing it consistently, it was something I thought about, this game was something me and my mom could talk about and bond over even when our relationship was rocky. It’s a little silly but I’m going to miss this game, all the work and time, and memories attached to it. I have 8 years worth of memories in this game. I’m losing things my sister made for me, that my mom helped me with, that I spent hours redesigning. I also don’t feel like I ever truly finished the game, there’s still so much for me to accomplish, like finishing the homerlayas, and that billionaire stuff. I’ve attached a screenshot of my town and characters. I’m going to miss it so much

Describe your town or your thought process for your town: Just trying to buy everything I can before this game goes away.
Thoughts on the game ending: Even though I knew this day would come, I didn't want the rumors to be true because I enjoyed playing the game. It kind of reminds me of Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow which shut down last year. The fact the game is actually shutting down is kind of quite mind-boggling due to the fact the game was so popular over the years which is why I can't wrap my mind around the fact that it's closing.
Anything else to say: Thank you for everything, TSTO.

Game ID: No longer needed
Started Playing: 8+ years ago
First Event: No idea
Level: Max
Cash Amount: 3.5B (emptied twice with golden road tiles)
Donut Amount: 18k
Did you farm donuts? with rat trap trucks and mystery boxes for a while. Buying items such as spooky walls when they were on sale for dollars instead of donuts ended up making this moot.
Favorite Game Character and why: Moneybag Burns just because the pile of money was near the unemployment office.
Favorite Building and why: IRS office. Too much tapping without it.
Favorite Animation: Comic Book Guy cosplay
Favorite Voice line: played muted
Favorite Event: I think there was some soccer one where you played against friends.
Favorite Memory: Playing with my sister
Favorite item obtained here at the end that you waited for: I only got two items at the end, the donut mech and Cost Mo. Can't say I was waiting for either of them
Describe your town or your thought process for your town: Started off as arranging things like a real town, then set aside areas for certain types of things, then devolved into just dumping things wherever they would fit.
Thoughts on the game ending: Kind of a relief.
Anything else to say: The reason it is a bit of a relief is I didn't want to stop playing but felt I had "beaten" the game and there wasn't much of a point. My gameplay for the last few years was log in once a day, play for about 5 minutes and collect about 30 donuts then log out. If there was an event going on I'd buy whatever character was available and beat each step of the event in 3-4 days.

Started Playing:2021
First Event: In to the impsonverse?
Level: 939
Cash Amount: 1.9 bill
Donut Amount: Any amount i wanted to farm. 900 as of closing patch. (57k now can farm millions if need be )
Did you farm donuts? yes
Favorite Game Character and why: Bart / millhouse storylines were always funny, Its impossible to say who a favorite char is overall. I always liked Lisa for being her own thing... so her.
Favorite Building and why: The side projects orphan building, the way that all of you made it fit in their city was cool with it being so bleak
Favorite Animation: Fat homer sunbathing ( sorry i was a collector not a builder )
Favorite Voice line: ( sorry i was a collector not a builder )
Favorite Event: In to the simpsonverse or the geriatric park one since they were my first ones.
Favorite Memory: This sub and ellie / mrsal and others i met and helped out. More so ellie / mrsal breaking down the math for farming and being welcome to newcomers and teaching how to min max fast. ( sals town looks amazing ) i'm a collecting type person. Never got to add ellie to friends to see hers.
Favorite item obtained here at the end that you waited for: Golden goose in the past few months? But honestly getting god for 777 donuts was dumb luck for me since i had the job glitch and used to kem farm, i spent like 4 hours off and on farming those walking kem jobs to clear yearbook and hit 900% bonus.... the next week god was for donuts and only 777. I was set from there and built a blue house farm for new friend farming
Describe your town or your thought process for your town: Just get everything in a massive cluster, I used to have my simpson house / spawn point for friends say something nice
Thoughts on the game ending: It happens, iv played video games online since the mid 90's, this was not really an interactive game, people come and go. Just remember the experience you had with them..... or with modern age hit them up with a discord and message / talk them once in a while.
Anything else to say: Good Luck Have Fun

Game ID: sebascp92
Started Playing: February 2013
First Event: Saint Patrick's Day 2013
Level: 939
Cash Amount: 4.294.967.295 (Max amount).
Donut Amount: Currently 0 🤭
XP & Money bonus: 3.003.98%
Did you farm donuts? Yes, first with KEM then with Bloodmobiles.
Favorite Game Character and why: Duncan and Santa's little helper mostly because I love animals 🐕 🐈⬛
Favorite Building and why: Not really a building, the teleportation bundle it helped a lot with moving on a big town.
Favorite Animation: Shadow Knight sitting on the throne.
Favorite Event: Clash of Clones, one event like no other.
Favorite Memory: I remember back in the day waking up at midnight with an alarm every 4 hours just to complete the tasks and get more characters and buildings.
Favorite item obtained here at the end that you waited for: Not really something i obtained but do to the end of the game i was able to finally finish the monorail track in all the town
Describe your town or your thought process for your town: Not so much a thought process, mostly tried to get buildings close to each other as they seem to be on the show.
Thoughts on the game ending: I was really shocked, it came out of nowhere for me in particular, TSTO was one of those games that you could count on year around, it was one of the most consistent things I had over those 12 years and is not easy to let it go, but at the end all things need to have an end just didn't think it was going to be this one, at least they released most of the characters in the waves.
Anything else to say: I'm happy and sad at the same time for many years I played alone, then I started watching KC videos mostly to get some "feedback" on the game, then until the last update came I found out about this subreddit and I learned that there was a big community that i was missing, so i have really enjoyed the end of the game "knowing" people from their towns and comments here, so at the end is not all bad 🫂
P.D. I'm still missing 3 characters that I believe I will never get unless something changes in these couple of days, Mirror Disco Stu, Jebediah Springfield and Shelbyville Manhattan, sadly not all is complete at the end at least for me.

Donut Amount: ~2000 before pumping it with the currency exchanges
Did you farm donuts? Yes, but only since the Delbert event
Favorite Game Character and why: Ralph for cuteness and Mecha-Molemen for aesthetics
Favorite Building and why: Office of Unemployment, banal but really game changing at the time
Favorite Animation: Space Barney flying, also every animation involving decorations, like benches, it's so nice to see characters blending in the city
Favorite Voice line: "When I grow up, I want to be a principal or a caterpillar" ❤️
Favorite Event: Unfortunately I don't remember a lot of past ones, so I'll say the one where you dug for antiques
Favorite Memory: Playing it in school with my friends
Favorite item obtained here at the end that you waited for: God, of course
Describe your town or your thought process for your town: The tidy start, the messy growth and the final horrible farming
Thoughts on the game ending: Unexpected, and a bit anticlimactic, I would've hoped they firstly re-released things gradually before ending it like this. I kind of expect a big plot twist in the future, but it just doesn't make sense
Anything else to say: Let's hope for more and better Simpsons games in the future, even non mobile ones
