The Characters

The Characters

The Simpsons: Tapped Out is a character-driven game, and there are quite a few characters in it because the show is rich with them. 

Most (but not all) of the characters in the game have specific assigned actions/quests that they can complete that will earn them specific set rewards.  The known actions/quests are listed below with each character, along with their rewards and any useful notes.

The Character Collections Menu is your key not only to seeing which characters you have previously unlocked, but which ones you have yet to unlock, and in addition to that, which Character Sets each of both groups belongs to.  The Character Collections Menu is divided into the following Sub-Menus:

Collecting each character in the set offers extra XP and Cash

Note:  This section of the guide is incomplete.  I know for a fact that there are other actions/quests that some of the characters can do because I have read about them elsewhere, but unfortunately so far they have not spawned in my game...  When they do and I can personally verify the details and the conditions for them, I will add them here.
