Part 12: The Top of the Arc I (Levels 26-37)

Welcome to Part I of the Two-Part Section of the Unofficial SuperCheats Walkthrough and Guide for The Simpsons: Tapped Out that is officially named "Part 12: The Top of the Arc Part I (Levels 26-37)"

This stage in the game is marked by several very distinctive features, the most prominent of which is the fact that by the time that you reach this level of town Expansion and development you now have a sufficiently large and diverse collection of Buildings, structures, and Characters so as to ensure that during the time frame of any given 24-hour period of play you should be generating, at the minimum, an Income of roughly $120K of in-game Cash.

What that means in the plainest of terms is that obtaining the funds for virtually any Content or Resource in the game has now reached the point at which it can be managed through a convenient period of play not to exceed two days of simply choosing the most convenient 24h Tasks and remembering to "harvest" the Buildings of your town (and the Tickets from the Amusement Park) several times each day!

The "Closure" Missions

A vast majority of the Missions that are covered and that appear in this stage of both the Guide and the game make up what are euphemistically referred to as the "Closure" Missions -- or Missions whose function is to close-out previous story lines, add in the structures and/or Characters towards which their related story lines were Building up to, and otherwise pave the way towards the new series of Missions and Quest Chains that will make up the Second Story in the Arc.

Well done on getting this far by the way -- and some simple advice...

If the Mission you are looking for is not in this Section check the second part to it as it is probably there. If the Mission or Quest Chain you are looking for involves ANY Premium Characters (character you had to spend either real-world Money or Donuts to obtain) it is not in this Guide. We do not cover the Content you must pay for in this guide as it is not about that, it is about success and a game played without spending real-world money (including Donuts to a certain point).

The Donut Issue

The primary method for obtaining Donuts in Tapped Out is to purchase them with real-world Money. That is not what this Guide is about. However the player IS provided with opportunities to obtain Donuts in the game, as part of regular Game Play, for FREE -- in which case our advice is to collect and save those Free Donuts until such time as you have saved an amount sufficient to purchase a strategic item, object, or character.

You'll be using your best Strategy in determining which object or character you will purchase with your Free Donuts -- but we recommend that the first Character you should purchase is the Squeaky-Voiced Teenager (because of the very nice profit he provides compared to the cost) and with respect to structures or Buildings we recommend that you obtain one of the ones that includes a character as part of its purchase since that basically expands its regular profit base over time.

This nicely wraps up the Introductory phase for this tow-part final Section for Act I of the Three-Act Adventure that is The Simpsons: Tapped Out!

First and utmost a warm welcome to you! Greetings! Salutations! Pull up a chair!

You have arrived at a lofty and exclusive height indeed -- for not only are you gently climbing the final stairs to the third act of the third act, but you have managed to do so in the midst of one of the most hectic of holiday events (as I write this we are dead in the center of Treehouse of Horror XXIV but hey, no complaints here!). Seriously though, well met!

The very well-defined "three-act structure" is borrowed (actually we pretty much stole it) is a model used in writing and in evaluating modern storytelling, as it serves to divide a fictional narrative into three parts that are usually called the "Setup, the Confrontation and the Resolution."

In this case of course we took that basic model and applied it evenly throughout the game, breaking it into more easily managed chunks neatly divided from in three groups of three, starting with 0 through 10, and then naturally adding in 11 to 20, then and 21 to 30.

Now that the maximum Level has been raised to Level 35 though, our Guide will be joining the likes of George Lucas and his Star Wars Trilogy with a 4th three-act play (grin).

Please be aware -- as always -- that the odd vagaries of Game Play in Tapped Out are such that some of the Buildings, quests, and Characters that are unlocked in this act may be quite old in terms of when we might have unlocked them initially, but that is OK. As long as they get unlocked and the game progresses does it really matter when that happens?

Bad Cops

The next crime-based quest chain is the beginning of The Story for Snake -- specifically Snake and the Springfield Police Department!

Bad Cops Pt. 1 -- Make Snake Rob the Kwik-E-Mart

To complete this first quest in the Bad Cops Mission Series you need to have Snake complete the following Task:

Rob the Kwik-E-Mart (60m) $70 and 17 XP.

Completing this quest in the series rewards you with $100 and 10 XP in addition to the reward for completing the above Task...

Bad Cops Pt. 2 -- Place the S.W.A.T. Van

The next element in the quest chain not only has you adding a new Police Vehicle decoration (the S.W.A.T.Van) but also has you adding two NEW Characters to the game! The cost of the Van is a whopping $97,500 of in-game cashola - so if you don't have that at hand it is time to save up!

That's right, placing the Van also adds Officer Lou and Officer Eddie to the game!

Completing this part of the chain rewards you with $100 and 10 XP in addition to the two new Characters.

Bad Cops Pt. 3 -- A chance to make use of your full Police Force!

This stage of the mission has two distinct Tasks for you to complete in order to begin the Police Training for Springfield's Finest! So get Training!

(1) Place the Training Wall

The Training Wall -- available in the in-game store Decorations menu for $270 -- requires you to reach Level 33 and in addition to providing a training opportunity for this quest, also increases the Righteousness Rating for your Springfield.

(2) Make Eddie Train for Action by completing the following Task:

Train for Action (12h) $420 and 100 XP.

Completing this Task and this part of the mission results in a reward of $100 and 10 XP.

Bad Cops Pt. 4 -- Appease the Mayor's new fascination for fighting crime...

It seems that Mayor Quimby has been watching too much CSI on TV and has gotten on a crime-solving-by-using-evidence-kick (an approach that the Springfield PD do not usually bother with) which has caused no end of concern at the Police Department, where they are used to doing pretty much whatever they feel like doing, when they feel like doing it... Basically it is the Teenager Approach to Law Enforcement.

To complete this phase of Police Puberty, have Eddie, Lou, and Chief Wiggum complete the following Tasks:

• Chief Wiggum: Eat at Krusty Burger (30m) $40 and 10 XP.

• Lou: Study Evidence (1h) $70 and 17 XP.

• Eddie: Eat at Krusty Burger (30m) $40 and 10 XP.

Completing this set of Tasks will also complete this part of the Mission and its Quest and reward you with $100 and 10 XP. Well done you!

Bad Cops Pt. 5 -- Make Cletus Go in for Questioning.

To complete this Quest simply have Cletus perform the following Task:

Go in for Questioning (8h) $275 and 70 XP.

Completing this Quest will result in a reward of $100 and 10 XP.

Badfellas

It is finally time for the Springfield Mafia to make its presence felt, so to kick off this Mafia-Fest we have a nice calm drinking party to hold! For this one you will need to have Fat Tony, Legs, and Louie complete the following Task:

Drink at Moe's (8h) $275 and 70 XP.

Completing these three Tasks rewards you with $100 and 10 XP.

Bargain Surgery

Now that you have progressed Dr. Hibbert's story line to the point that we have built Springfield General Hospital it is time for Dr. Nick's story to take a leap forward, which in this case means having him assume his rightful place as Springfield's other doctor -- and surgeon!

To complete this mission we need to make Dr. Nick perform Surgery -- which we do by his seeking and his obtaining permission from Dr. Hibbert for floor privileges at the Hospital, and then completing the following Task:

Performing Surgery (1d) $1000 and 225 XP.

Completing this Task also rewards you with the traditional $100 and 10 XP -- but more to the point here you also now have a 24h Task for Dr. Nick to perform, and how cool is that?

Buddha's Got Back

It's time to build the Springfield Buddhist Temple and add a few more Characters to your crew -- specifically you will add Lenny and Carl to your crew.

Buddha's Got Back Pt. 1 -- Build the Springfield Buddhist Temple.

Building the Temple will cost you $74,000 and once it is complete will add The Characters of Lenny and Carl to your game.

Completing this quest will pay $100 and 10 XP.

Buddha's Got Back Pt.2 -- Make Lenny and Carl Drink at Moe's.

Moe's Tavern is named for its owner, Moe Szyslak, and in spite of the fact that Springfield clearly has sufficient population to support additional bars or taverns, the closest thing to competition that Moe has is Joe's Tavern in Shelbyville.

Moe's is said to be one of the places where "everyone knows your name,” but in reality that is only true of your name is on the shift list at the Nuke Plant, or happens to be Homer, Lenny, Carl, Barney, or Moe. Otherwise you should expect to be addressed as either “Buddy” or “Hey You!”

To complete this Mission have Lenny and Carl complete the following Tasks:

Drink at Moe's (8h) $275 and 70 XP.

Once you have committed both Lenny and Carl to an 8-hour binge session and the timer runs out, you will receive $100 and 10 XP as your reward for completing the two facets of this mission and, hopefully, progress the Mission.

Buddha's Got Back Pt. 3 -- Send Lenny and Carl to do a Shift at the Plant.

The reality of life has now fully intruded into Carl and Lenny's lives as they are confronted with the truth of the matter, which is that nobody ever really drinks for free! To complete this part of the Mission you need to have Lenny and Carl complete the following Task:

Plant Shift (16h) $500 and 125 XP

After Lenny and Carl complete the Tasks you will receive $100 and 10 XP as your reward for completing this and you will be ready for the next step in the Mission line which is a major one as it adds a Building and branching Missions and Quests....

Buddha's Got Back Pt. 4 -- Build the Adult Education Annex and have Lenny and Carl complete Tasks.

This is one of the more complicated missions due to the fact that you actually have to complete Building the Adult Education Annex BEFORE you can complete the Task with Lenny. Though you can do Carl's Task straight away..

• Build the Adult Education Annex.

• Carl: Date Lenny's Sister (1h) $70 and 17 XP.

• Lenny: Teach Class on Chewing Tobacco (1h) $70 and 17 XP.

Building the Annex will set you back $60,500 and 1d 12h to build. Completing this quest will pay $100 and 10 XP.

Business is Picking Up

Dr. Hibbert has encouraged The Three Bellies of Springfield to come in for a checkup as things relating to the FlavorMax are not looking good for them...

After the Doc personally thanks Krusty for creating the FlavorMax Burger (thanks him because the Doc has been doing massively well charging to pump the stomachs of the diners who ate that poisonous swill), Krusty points out that it is more or less an ongoing testing procedure while the try to get the recipe right... Perfection?

To complete this phase of the chain of quests that leads to unlocking Springfield General Hospital, you will need to have Homer Simpson, Comic Book Guy, and Chief Wiggum complete the following brief Task:

Go for a Checkup (10m) $17 and 5 XP (each).

Completing these Tasks results in the reward of $100 and 10 XP as well as flags the next follow-on mission in the chain to unlock the General Hospital...

Caught Red-Handed

This is a brief Milhouse-centered gap-quest that requires you to have him clean the school... To complete it simply have Milhouse do the following task TWICE:

Clean the School (12h) $420 and 100 XP

Completing this mission awards you $100 and 10 XP.

Celeb-O-Mania

Bringing another celebrity -- Wolfcastle -- to Springfield! Yes not only do you have the opportunity to expand your celebrity population by adding a new character but you also get to add a new Building! Double Bonus!

Celeb-O-Mania Pt. 1 -- Build Wolfcastle's Mansion

Completing this phase requires you to build Woflcastle's Mansion -- which will set you back a whopping $114,500 in cashola! This structure is an Income-producing one, earning $135 and 15 XP every 8h. Construction time for it is 1d12h. I suggest placing it beside the Burns Mansion so you create your own upscale neighborhood of mansions - though I hardly think that Fat Tony's place counts.

Celeb-O-Mania Pt. 2 -- Make Wolfcastle Exercise

To complete this next phase to the mission you need to have Wolfcastle complete the following Task:

Exercise (4h) $175 and 45 XP.

Completing this Task also rewards you with $100 and 10 XP.

Celeb-O-Mania Pt. 3 -- Make Burns Hide Nuclear Waste.

To complete this part of the Quest Chain have Mr. Burns complete the following Task:[br /]

Hide Nuclear Waste (8h) $275 and 70 XP.

Krabappel: Smoke Break! (10m) $17 and 5 XP. (x3 Complete Tasks)

Wolfcastle: Pose (8h) $275 and 70 XP. (x1 Task)

Completing these Tasks rewards you with $100 and 10 XP.

Celeb-O-Mania Pt. 5 -- Make Carl and Lenny Drink at Moe's.

Yeah it is hard work, but someone has to do it, otherwise the bar would close! So to get started on this make sure that Carl and Lenny are free and have them complete the following Task:

Drink at Moe's (8h) $275 and 70 XP.

Completing these Tasks rewards you with $100 and 10 XP.

Celeb-O-Mania Pt. 6 -- Make Wolfcastle appear on a Talk Show.

It seems that Mr. Burns is now flexing his powerful Money-muscles and exerting control over the retired Hollywood legend Wolfcastle -- so make sure that the Wolfster is available and then have him complete the following Task:

Appear on a Talk Show (1h) $70 and 17 XP.

Completing these Tasks rewards you with $100 and 10 XP.

Celeb-O-Mania Pt. 7 -- Make Wolfcastle Relax in his Mansion.

Make sure that the Wolfster is available and then have him complete the following Task:

Relax in his Mansion (24h) $600 and 150 XP.

Completing these Tasks rewards you with $100 and 10 XP.

The Cleaner

Play the Violin (1h) $70 and 17 XP.

Completing this will earn you $100 and 10 XP.

The Cleaner Pt. 4 -- Build Fat Tony's Compound.

Completing this part of the mission not only gets you Fat Tony's Compound -- which means he finally has a place to sleep he actually owns (though it will set you back $85,000) but it gains you his two made-men -- Legs and Louie-- which in theory practically doubles the potential Income you can gain from him. Sort of.

Corporate Sponsor

Make Dr. Hibbert Sacrifice His Principles by completing the following Task:

Sacrifice His Principles (6h) $225 and 55 XP.

This quest awards you $100 and 10 XP.

El Bartito's Way

It seems that Bart Simpson has somehow managed to ingratiate himself upon Springfield's Mafia, finding an Introduction to Fat Tony and his Crew that will give the urchin a foot in the door to a higher level of Mischief than he would ordinarily have access to!

His Introduction to the world of Made Men takes the form of serving Manhattans to the Crew -- so have Bart Simpson complete the following Task:

Serve Manhattans (24h) $600 and 150 XP.

Completing this new 24h Task for Bart will also result in you being awarded $100 and 10 XP as the usual -- no, call it Traditional - reward. After all Bart is setting out on the path to Gangsterdom, and that is a tradition, right?

Executive Lackey

Bringing Burns Manor into the World

This quest chain is a continuation of the same quest chain using the same name that is found in Part 11: The Top of the Hump. For information about the earlier stages in the chain please consult that page in the Guide!

This is the quest series that added Burns Manor and other good things to your Springfield. In addition to the previous quests in the mission you will need to complete the following quests in the chain:

Executive Lackey Pt. 7 -- Make Smithers attend an AA Meeting!

It seems that Mr. Smithers has something of a substance abuse problem, not to mention a very sincere if touching infatuation (he calls it Love) of Mr. Burns... To complete this part of the mission have Smithers do the following Task:

Attend an AA Meeting (2h) $110 and 27 XP.

Completing this Task and this part of the mission will also reward you with $100 and 10 XP.

Executive Lackey Pt. 8 -- Make Smithers Exercise for Mr. Burns.

The next quest in the chain is flagged by Smithers but requires that Mr. Burns not otherwise be engaged in a quest (that is to say both Smithers AND Burns need to be available and not otherwise occupied) and requires him to perform the following Task:

Exercise for Mr. Burns (1h) $140 and 34 XP.

This Task has one of the more interesting public animations as, rather than the Task taking place behind closed doors and hidden from game view it takes the form of Smithers riding a bicycle through the treets with Mr. Burns as his passenger! This is what you might call a real Kodak Moment LOL.

Completing this quest also rewards you with $100 and 10 XP.

The FlavorMax

The scientists and chemical engineers who make up the staff at the Krusty Burger Test Kitchen (say, why would a burger chain need chemical engineers in their test kitchen?!) have devised a new burger for the flagship chain of Krusty Burgers and, if things go well, may introduce the Flavormax at the Krustyland Burger joints as well! Is that good news?

To complete this mission you need to test market the burger, and to do that you are going to need the active and willing assistance of Homer Simpson, Comic Book Guy, and Chief Wiggum -- or what the chemical engineers refer to as The Three Bellies of Springfield!

Have Homer, Comic Book Guy, and The Chief complete the following Task:

Eat at Krusty Burger (30m) $40 and 10 XP.

Completing this mission will reward you with $100 and 10 XP, and trigger the next stage in the General Hospital Unlocking Mission Chain, which requires you to have Dr. Hibbert available for the tapping of...

General Hospital

Build the Springfield General Hospital

Once you reach this stage in the mission and quest chain you have unlocked Springfield General Hospital from the build menu in the in-game store. This becomes necessary once Dr. Hibbert realizes that he has basically reached the limit for what he can charge for in-office procedures and he really needs the services of the Hospital to be available if he is going to properly bill his patients for all that their insurance can pay!

Not only that but Dr. Nick will also find that having access to the General Hospital will enhance his career -- sort of.

To complete this part of the chain you will need to build Springfield General Hospital, which will set you back $65,500 and require 24h to construct. Bear in mind that this structure requires a significant piece of real estate to build it on.

Hey Millhouse -- Eureka!

It is time to build the Skinner House -- seriously! That's what it says anyway, and hey that is a good thing because the $65,500 you spend not only gets you Skinner's House (so he can stop sleeping in the School or the Brown House) but it also gets you Skinner's MOM!

Kramp Krusty

Have Krusty Promote a new Product. To complete this Key Quest which leads to unlocking the Springfield General Hospital (eventually) you need to have Krusty complete the following Task:

Promote a New Product (8h) $275 and 70 XP.

When Krusty completes the Task you will earn $100 and 10 XP.

Legitimate Business

Build the Businessman's Social Club to help Fat Tony establish himself in his new home - Springfield!

The cost for constructing the Businessman's Social Club is $63,000 and, after the 24h build time, you will finally have a place where Fat Tony and his "associates" can sit down, play some whist, drink Cappuccino in the morning and other manly beverages in the afternoon and evenings. Every now and then he gets a visit from Junior and Chrissy, and the Sausage Shop delivers!

Once it is constructed the Businessman's Social Club will earn a Tax of $175 and 26 XP every 10h (before Bonus). Completing this quest will pay $100 and 10 XP.

NB: Isn't it great to finally start Building into the Fat Tony Missions?!

Lenny's Downfall

Now that the gap stuff is done and Lenny is an established member of your crew it is time he got his own adventure - or at least mission - right? Right!

Work on his Mystery Novel (12h) $420 and 100 XP.

We have finally reached the quest line that adds the Wiggum House to our town, and how about that?

This Little Wiggy Pt. 1 -- Build the Wiggum House

This first part is flagged by Principle Skinner, who wants the chief to stop sleeping in the halls of the school. To complete it, place and build the Wiggum House (this will set you back $58,500) and will add the Chief's son Ralph to your crew!

Completing this quest will pay $100 and 10 XP.

This Little Wiggy Pt. 2 --Make Ralph Eat a Crayon Sandwich.

Completing this quest will pay $100 and 10 XP.

Completing this Task rewards you with $100 and 10 XP.

Work on Her Blog (1d) $175 and 45 XP.

Completing this Task rewards you with $100 and 10 XP - is it me or is the reward for this 24h Task unusually low in comparison?

This is not a new or special Task, but it is the Task you need to have Kent Brockman do in order to complete this part of the mission. So select Kent Brockman and perform the following Task:

Completing this Task completes the Quest and grants you the reward of $100 and 10 XP!

Go to School (6h) $225 and 55 XP.

It is time to begin the process of adding Rod and Todd back into your Springfield -- and Sir Putt-A-Lot's Miniature Golf as well!

To being this you must reach Level 32, then you need to build Sir Putt-A-Lot's -- which will set you back $115,700 and require a fair sized bit of open land... This structure has a 24h build time.

Completing this quest will reward you with $100 and 10 XP.

Dine at the Truffle (2h) $110 and 27 XP.

SKINNERRRR?!

This new Mission and its Quest Chain become available once your Springfield reaches Level 34 and you complete certain prerequisites -- and once you meet all of those conditions and the game feels good and darn ready it will flag the mission!

This new mission is flagged by Bart Simpson...

As amazing as it may sometimes feel considering that what we have here is an entertainment empire that has built itself by telling The Story of a boy and his family who have basically remained unchanged and not aging for something like 25 years, time it seems does move forward in Springfield -- at least to the extent that the town needs a High School!

This Mission and its associated Quest Chain are about both Building that High School and about adding a new character to your Springfield in the form of Superintendent Chalmers.

SKINNERRRR?! Pt. 1 -- Build Springfield High School

Just when I was getting ready to spend the Cash I had saved up to build a new town park for the expanded east side of town I get an expensive mission with quests to build a new school -- anyone will tell you that Building public Buildings -- particularly High Schools -- is NOT a cheap process!

To complete this first part of the quest chain for this mission you need to build Springfield High School, which will cost you $108,500 in in-game Cash, require 24 hours to build, and once construction completes, will add the character Superintendent Chalmers to your town!

Well done you! This has been a long time in coming and you should feel very happy and proud!

Section Closing Notes

This is NOT the final section of the Guide -- it is also NOT the final section for this part of the guide... Read on to learn more!

The two Parts that make up this part of the Guide make up the two-part final section for Volume 1 of the Guide -- or to be formal, it constitutes the final pair of sections for "The Unofficial SuperCheats Walkthrough and Guide for The Simpsons: Tapped Out" (now THAT is formal!).

As you can see this first part of the final section for Volume 1 covers the quest chains for the missions that lead up to the wrapping-up Missions and Quests for the first part of what is destined to be a Three-Story-Arc for the game.

It should be emphasized that this is the final part of the FIRST Volume of the Base Game and the FIRST Expansion Series -- but it is NOT the end of the Guide! Due to the special nature of this information you will notice that we also printed it in special colour in order to make it stand out and, hopefully, get you to read it...

The Rest of The Story

As noted above there is more to come for this two-part Section and more to come for the Guide, however we have reached the point at which the sections are getting too long, and that is why this section has been divided into two.

Keep reading mates -- and if you do not see a Mission or Quest Chain you were expecting to see here, check Part 2 of this two-part Section of the Guide because it is probably located there...

The Level Cap

Right now (or as I write this) the game has been called at Level 37 and, chances are really strong that by getting this far in the game and the Guide you have reached (or are very close to reaching) that Level Cap.

As the level system is presently capped at Level 37, when you collect sufficient XP so as to Level-Up instead of ticking the counter over to Level 38 you will instead be presented with a special box in which there are three choices -- each of which contains a random number of Donuts (the Premium Currency in the game).

Each time you collect sufficient XP to cause that box to appear, you get to obtain some free Donuts in place of the next level. Nice right?

The wizards who created this game have sworn (double-pinky swear no less) that they are hard at work on the next game Content Expansion and missions -- so we will just have to wait and see?

Tapped Out is supposed to be something of a never-ending adventure, and we are certain that a combination of the creativity from The Simpsons TV Show combined with the vivid imagination of the wizards who create this game will be sufficient to keep us all entertained and challenged far into the future!

Still this is a great opportunity to thank the players (and the Guide readers and fans) as well as the Dev team and all of the creative types behind The Simpsons: Tapped Out. So here you are: Well done you lot! Well done indeed! And Thank You!
