Decorations - The Simpsons: Tapped Out
This category of in-game item encompasses a wide variety of add-ins, some of which may have additional effects or special requirements in order to purchase, as noted below. Note that new items can be added to the game with each major or minor update, so you will want to check the store often, so you can take advantage of new content as early as possible.
 Most of the decorations have secondary effects in the game |
Notes on prices: Items that are marked with a $xx indicate items that the player must use in-game cash in order to purchase; items marked with a xxD indicate items that can only be purchased using donuts, which is the other form of in-game currency. As only makes sense, donuts have a higher inherent value for Homer and to a lesser extent Bart than regular Currency.

A core function for the Decorations objects in addition to making your city look good (or at least have stuff in it) is the added effects that they can have such as improving your ratings for Obedience, Vanity, and the like, as well as improving your overall base multiplier for the XP and Cash that is earned by all of your characters for the jobs that they complete. The Tire Fire is one of the more effective choices if you decide that you would rather work on XP and Cash early on rather than adding the buildings, and if you do decide to take that route be aware that it is a shrewd choice that will help cut down on the time it takes to level-up and acquire wealth.
An artistic eye and clever placement add to the impact of decorations
Considering the small amounts that each item improves through the multiplier it is easy enough to dismiss that without even thinking about it, but consider this: Cash is fairly easy to acquire, and there are a number of objects that you can purchase with Cash that will allow you to rapidly improve your ratings. In addition to that, if you have the Donuts to spend and you are not saving them towards one of the bigger-ticket buildings, adding these items using Donuts can quickly add up to additional income with respect to XP and Cash. Just saying... But in saying that I need to remind you that just because you have 10 Donuts to spend, if you are working towards one of the buildings, you should make every effort not to give in to impulse and buy these prior to accomplishing your primary goals!
