Part 15: Top of the Arc for Levels 41 thru 45

Welcome to the Level 41 Cap Update Event!

Virtual Simpsons Characters are doing the virtual cha-cha as speeches are made on the podium (most of which begin with "It's about damn time!") though really it has not been that long since the last cap Update so I don't know what they are virtually complaining about!

With that noted, it is time to talk about the things that came along with the Level 41 Cap Update - and things did indeed come with it, though to be honest they really are spoiling us! No, really...

So first of all there is the whole new level - that's right, those of you who were stuck at Level 40 are now stuck at Level 41 - congratulations!

Now let's look at the new Items that were added to the game to celebrate the Level 41 Cap Update:

Objects

• Bloodmobile -- Requires Level 24 -- $132,000 (Improves Vanity Rating).

• Duff Party Liner -- Requires Level 15 -- 100D (2.75% Bonus Money and XP to all Jobs).

Buildings & Structures

Fantastic Ferris Wheel

This is one of the optional Premium missions that only gets flagged if you have placed a Ferris Wheel on the Boardwalk in Springfield. The Ferris Wheel can be purchased for Donuts or can be won as a prize via the Mystery Box offered by Gil as part of one of his deals.

Mister Burns is enamored of the Ferris Wheel and wants to ride it - but knows that if he goes on alone it is very likely that he will be blown away at the top - so he asks Smithers to ride with him - and to hold him while they ride.

You have to wonder if Burns knows that Smithers is in love with him, and whether or not he grasps the whole erotic notion that is connected to the act he is asking Smithers to perform? When the Ferris Wheel was first created it was engineered to be just that sort of ride - young men would accompany their gals and hold them to "protect" them - ah for simpler times.

Ride the Ferris Wheel (10h) $1050 and 270 XP (Mr Burns + Smithers)

Completing this awards you with $100 and 10 XP.

After you finish this sorta-mission, you can tap on your Town Hall to use the census in the future!

Completing this awards you with $100 and 10 XP.

Gil's Special Deal Offer

The Solid Gold Mansion

These special events are so rare that the appearance of one - particularly one of this nature - warrants some special attention! There are several reasons for this - but the rarity requires us to delve deeper into that story than might otherwise be the case - so that you understand that the event is more than simply a means to encourage the player to spend premium currency.

Who Is Gil Gunderson?? His proper name is Gil Gunderson but in the backstory of Springfield you may also see him addressed as Ol' Gil or just Gil, who has a mysterious reputation as an unsuccessful and unlucky Springfield businessman, who is said to be cursed...

The foundation of Gil's appearances in Springfield all orbit around a small number of very special deals whose purpose is to encourage the payers to either purchase Donuts (the premium currency in the game) or to spend them.

The record of his rare appearances include the following:

Gil's Christmas Special (December 2012)

Gil invites players to purchase Santa's Village for its standard price of 200 Donuts, the doing of which also awards a free Holiday Tree (which usually costs 75D) but only for a very brief and limited time of 5 Days.

Gil's Donut Offer (December 2012)

As usual the player has 5 days to take advantage of this special Donut deal - The terms being an added 25% additional Donuts to the bundle purchased from the store.

Gil's A Sign and Doom (January 2013)

In this special offer from Gil the player can make a combination acquisition of the Volcano Lair and Springfield Sign for just 250D (the normal cost for both would equal 270D). The player has 5 days to decide.

The Science Fund (February 2013)

Players have the usual 5-days to take up this deal that includes Frink's Lab and a Homer Buddha, with a $50K Bonus at the cost of just 250D.

Gil's Day Old Donuts Sale (May 2013)

A 25% discount off of the cost of Donuts is the foundation for this sale - which allowed players to make any Donut bundle purchase that they wanted and receive the extra 25% - for example if the player chose the 900 Donut Bundle - which normally costs $49.99 they would only be charged $37.99 (25% off).

Gil's Black Friday Deal (November 2013)

Duff Brewery packaged together with the Springfield Sign and $50K was the foundation for this 300D deal - a savings of 60D ove the regular price...

Gil's Holiday Donuts (December 2013)

Players obtained 30% more Donuts from the Donut Bundle of their choice (which was purchased at the regular listed price but delivered an additional 30% total Donuts).

Gil's Krusty Premium Deal (February 2014)

Krustylu Studios combined with Sideshow Mel, Dr. Nick, and the animated Cannon decoration, all for the paltry sum of 200D (a savings of 50D).

Gil's Gold Mansion Deal

This time around the special deal offered by Gil is the golden mansion that was originally built by Itchy & Scratchy inventor Chester Lampwick - which was built before the IP was stolen from him and he was made penniless and forced to leave town...

In addition to its regular timer (which pays $135 and 15XP every 4h) the Solid Gold Mansion also includes its own custom mission/quest line as well, which means more for you to do in the game!

Good Morning, Springfield!

Once you complete collecting the Frink Points - err - Friend Points?? Well, you know! Once you complete collecting enough to unlock the last prize (so far) you get to place the KBBL Radio Station in your town - which then flags this quest!

Homer is certainly relieved as it allows him more of a choice for his radio play on the morning commute - wait, what morning commute?! Well whatever! The point to this is that, like the TV station the Radio station gives you a set of programs to slot that have different timers and rewards. Enjoy!

To complete this, simply do the following:

Bill and Marty! (4h) $750 and 200 XP

Completing this awards you with $100 and 10 XP.

Hey, Where's the Party?

A one-off for the Duff-man himself (assuming that you won or purchased the Premium Structure Duff Brewery) has the Duffmeister all set to party down over at Moe's Tavern! Just be sure Duffman is available and then have him do the following Task:

Party Down at Moe's Tavern (12h) $600 and 150 XP

Completing this awards you with $100 and 10 XP.

Hibbert Ain't Got Shed (Premium)

While this is technically not really a quest as such but rather it is a Premium Building placement opportunity, it does appear as a marked quest in the game (you get the "!" marker for Dr. Hibbert) so we are treating it as if it is a legitimate Quest anyway.

Actually if you think about it then it has to be a legitimate quest since it has a Quest Name and everything! We think the only reason it is not being tracked by the Quest Tracker is because of it being a Premium Structure so they can't make it mandatory...

This quest begins with Homer Simpson visiting Dr. Hibbert due to his having laid in a nest of fire ants and gotten his ears badly stung. While conversing with the Doctor Homer hears The Story of his half-finished shed and worthless brother-in-law.

Hibbert Ain't Got Shed - Build the Half Finished Shed

Now it probably is not an accident that we have suddenly discovered another relative of the doc considering that the first quest for the new Level 41 Cap Unlock -- though I suppose that it could actually be serendipity at play here and not some evil plan hatched by the Evil Wizard on the development team over at EA Games...

You knew about the Evil Wizard, right? The bloke at the development studio whose job it is to read the social networking sites and chat boards in order to find and research the Cheats we use to get free stuff in the game and then close them? Yeah, that is all the work of ONE Wizard!

All of the Good Wizards on the dev team end up getting a bad reputation thanks to the work of the Evil one too. We heard that the Starbucks guy spits in their coffee. Sheesh.

The Unfinished Shed has some interesting details, so we thought we would give you the $200 tour:

Unfinished Shed (Premium Structure)

Cost = 150D

Level Required = Level 24

Quest Required = Hibbert Ain't Got Shed"

Attributes = 2.25% Bonus Money and XP to all Jobs.

Completing the Quest

Right so, before you go to place this and complete the quest there are some minor issues that need to be addressed...

First: You have to decide which house belongs to Dr. Hibbert. That is to say, where does he live? The reason you have to do that should be pretty obvious! You need to place the Unfinished Shed in Dr. Hibbert's back yard!

Second: You have to decide if you are going to let that worthless Brother-in-Law live in your basement both NOW and after you build the Jewelry Store and recover Bernice Hibbert to your Springfield! Personally, speaking as a worthless brother-in-law I think you should let him sleep in the apartment you had built into the basement for Bernice's mom to live in after she retires... But hey, that is just me.

Once you decide where the doc lives -- I decided that he lives in the Ultrahouse 2 so I moved that to a bigger lot with plenty of room for the Unfinished Shed...

I also decided to place that lot in the new luxury housing area all the way to the north in the central area of the map of my Springfield -- putting their home close enough to the shopping district (including the new Banana Dictatorship) so that Bernice would not feel like the commute to the Mall and shops was that inconvenient...

God I am considerate!

So with the house now relocated, and the lot fenced-in, I placed the Unfinished Shed (Gah! 150D man that is one expensive unfinished Shed!) bejesus!

Now BEFORE you start crying FOUL! The Donuts that I used to buy this were all saved up from Mystery Boxes and cleaning tasks over the last year. In fact I would not have been able to place this at all if EA had not gifted me 20 Donuts yesterday as an apology for the Frame Rate disaster that recently effected the game...

So yes, we are including what amounts to a Premium Quest in the main Guide, but if you have been saving your Donuts that should not be a problem for you mates.

Placing the Unfinished Shed results in unlocking the new Premium Character "Chester Dupree" (Dr. Hibbert's Brother-In-Law and the brother of Bernice Hibbert.

In addition to obtaining a Bonus of 25 XP for Chester Dupree, he is added to the Hibbert Family Character Collection, and becomes a playable character in your game! Check out his dossier below:

Hibbert Got Shed

Now that the Shed has been returned and Chester added to the town let's get to the real nitty-gritty of the Quest Line shall we?

Hibbert Got Shed Pt 2 - Make Chester Throw an Entitled Tizzy.

Completing this Task and Quest also awards you $100 and 10 XP.

Apologize to Dr. Hibbert (6h) $575 and 145 XP.

Completing this Task and Quest also awards you $100 and 10 XP.

Hibbert Got Shed Pt 4 - Make Chester Open the Blood Center.

It is time for Chester to earn his Money and not just take it! Actually this is a lot more complicated than just a kid earning his allowance - Dr. Hibbert is actually making his Brother-in-Law responsible for picking up the Bloodmobile and its staff, driving it to the designated location, and then opening it for business, at which point the more socially responsible members of the community will line up to donate a pint of blood.

To make all of this happen you need to first purchase a very expensive truck that is basically a fully-equiped blood lab, then assist a bunch of people (a minimum of ten in total) up the stairs and into what looks like dentist chairs - so that they can together complete the following Tasks:

1. Place the Bloodmobile (Cost = $132,000) Instant.

2. Open the Bloodmobile for Business (8h) $420 and 105 XP (Chester).

3. Donate Blood (8h) $275 and 70 XP (x10 Springfielders)

Completing this Task and Quest also awards you $100 and 10 XP.

Hibbert Got Shed Pt 5 - A fairly simple set of Blood Center-related Tasks.

After remarking that he is pleasantly surprised at Chester's follow-through on the Mission that Hibbert gave to him, Dr. Hibbert then instructs Chester to complete another set of Tasks:

Homer Simpson: Donate Blood (8h) $275 and 70 XP

Dr. Hibbert: Run the Bloodmobile (8h) $275 and 70 XP

Chester: Avoid Responsibility (8h) $420 and 105 XP

Completing the above trio of Tasks results in the award of $100 and 10 XP!

Hibbert Got Shed Pt 6 - The Road to Reconciliation...

Considering the grief that Chester put Dr. Hibbert and Bernice through you would think it would be harder for him to make amends - but maybe not. Completing the following Tasks is a start:

Make the Hibberts Dine at El Chemistri (4h) $250 and 90 XP.

Chester: Throw a Rager (4h) $260 and 70 XP.

Attend the Rager (4h) $175 and 45 XP (x10 Springfielders)

Completing the above trio of Tasks results in the award of $100 and 10 XP!

Hibbert Got Shed Pt. 7 - Make Chester Negotiate an Advance.

After once again defeating the whole purpose of an apology and doing precisely what he wanted to rather than what was right, Chester has come out of the debacle on both feet and smelling like the proverbial rose... Thanks to the Mayor that is. Give Chester a hand and complete the next Task:

Chester + Dr. Hibbert: Negotiate an Advance (2h) $285 and 67 XP.

Completing this Task and Quest also awards you $100 and 10 XP.

Prepare for Job interview (24h) $1000 and 225 XP.

Completing this Task and Quest also awards you $100 and 10 XP.

Hibbert Got Shed Pt 9 - Make Chester Work on Dr. Hibbert's Shed

Even if Chester is not working out at work, at least he is being more honest about it with the doc! You will need Hibbert and Chester to be available for this one - and then have them do the following Tasks:

Chester: Work on Dr. Hibbert's Shed (8h) $420 and $105.

Dr. Hibbert: Drink 20-Year-Old Single Malt Whiskey (45s) $3 and 1 XP.

Completing this Task and Quest also awards you $100 and 10 XP.

Helpful Hint: Adjust the Order of Play

The normal pattern that most players use is to pick the time scale and then commit their outstanding Characters to Tasks within that scale.

This is an approach that normally works just fine but, due to the presence of a number of multiple-Springfielder Mission and Quests elements, that approach may need to be altered slightly in that you should make it a point to address all outstanding Missions and Quests BEFORE committing your available Characters to any time-based schedule just in case they are needed.

The 4th part of Hibbert's Got Shed is a perfect example of that pattern.

It seems that Krusty has taken on new level council in the form of the Blue-Haired Lawyer.

Kamp Bart

Note: The missions that are associated with this structure - including this one - require the purchase of the Premium Structure Kamp Krusty (200D) which was added to the game with the Level 32 Update on July 25, 2013. In May/June 2014 a portion of the Tapped Out Community received a special discount offer that gave them a 50% discount on the purchase of Premium objects like Kamp Krusty - which meant that it could be obtained for just 100D.

Once Kamp Krusty is purchased and its construction project placed, it instantly builds, adding a Premium Outfit for Bart Simpson that offers a new set of Tasks, including those associated with Kamp Krusty!

Krusty the Hair Colorist

One of the oddities of games like Tapped Out and the shows they are based on is that no topic is out of bounds in terms of humor... Bigotry is a perfect example - and it seems that Krusty find the nasty activity to be pleasurable. How strange is that?

Level 42 Update

While we are used to the Level-Cap Updates arriving like a rocket out of the blue, becuase they tend to arrive either just before, just after, or smack-dab in between Special and/or Holiday Events, when one of them arrives in the midst of an event lends hat unexpected arrival a little more impact and heft!

The Level 42 Cap Increase also arrives with some new Items and Objects and other Content that certainly makes it a welcome addition to the game and our Springfields!

If you were already at the Level 41 Cap then chances are you first became aware of this new Level-Cap Increase when you logged into your game and BAM! You got hit with a roll-over to Level 42 and a welcome gift of 2 Donuts. Most excellent! As my good mates Bill & Ted would say: "Be excellent to Each Other" and "Pary On Doods!"

Level 44 Update

As is traditionally the case they hit us with a Level Update right in the middle of a major event... But it seems that in addition to boosting the Level Cap they are also adding a new Building I never heard of but, it seems, the entire town misses it?

In addition to the quest-related Building and new character, the Update also includes the following:

• Bonsai Tree - Potted (12D)

• The Happy Sumo (100D) Building + Character

• Bloaters at the Squidport (Quest) Building

• Plum Tree ($325)

With the new cap up and running adding the computer ship requires a new mission, right?

Fuguaboutit

It seems that the return of The Happy Sumo restaurant and its proprietor to the newly revived Springfield ended up being less of a joy-prompting event than was anticipated.

Basically the problem is that since the disappearance of the place (and I don't recall it existing BEFORE the world exploded) new restaurants have appeared in the yellow hued world of Springfield. These include Madame Chao's, Swanky Fish, Butterfat's, the Singing Sirloin, not to mention Krustys, Gulp 'N; Blow, and Johnny Fiestas, so as you can see a new (or even returning) restaurant is facing some serious competition!

Fuguaboutit Pt. 1

In a bid to create a unique draw with which to attract diners, Akira has decided to introduce Fugu to the menu at his place. If you don't know this, Fugu is a delicacy in Japan that also happens to contain a sac with one of the most lethal poisons in the world.

James Bond could tell you all about that - but all jokes aside, to actually serve Fugu in Japan requires a chef to serve an apprenticeship under a Fugu Master, where they learn (among other things) how to properly clean the and prepare it for cooking, while eliminating most of the risk of poisoning your guests.

So now you know - and now it is time to get to the nitty-gritty of this mission and its quests:

Akira: Serve Questionably Prepared Fugu (2h) $175 and 40 XP

Springfielders: Eat Questionable Fugu (1h) $105 and 26 XP (x10 Springfielders)

You can basically pick any 10 Springfielders but I chose the 10 I wouldn't mind seeing dead... YMMV :)

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

Fuguaboutit Pt. 2

Threats of lawsuits ignored, Akira is intent upon making a go of this new opening - and he does that by handing out some free Sushi Samples!

Hand Out Sushi Samples (4h) $260 and 70 XP.

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

Demographic Rude-ity

When you come right down to it the thing that motivates most people is not simply the ability to earn a living by doing what it is that they do, but the twin issues of pride and personal satisfaction. When those are the basic alter upon which the individual worships you'd be amazed at how far the average person will go in terms of ethical compromise. Just saying...

Demographic Rude-ity Pt. 1

Akira has now wandered into the region of religion - to some interesting effects...

1. Reach Level 27 and build the Springfield Buddhist Temple

2. Discretely Talk About Double Standards (12h) $600 and 150 XP.

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

Take On City Hall (24h) $1000 and 225 XP.

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

Seeking a Friend for the End of This Update

Seeking a Friend for the End of This Update Pt. 1

For this opening salvo in to the end of the Update the goal is to get those Wascally Kids to go to school! And when we say go to school we mean, you know, GO TO SCHOOL!

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

3. Jimbo Jones

4. Kearney Zzyzwicz

5. Lisa Simpson

6. Martin Prince

7. Milhouse Van Houten

8. Nelson Muntz

9. Ralph Wiggum

10. Rod Flanders

11. Sherri and Terri Mackleberry

12. Todd Flanders

You should - assuming that you have been diligent in adding The Characters that you CAN add and you have not become trapped in some universe where saving up Donuts for important Characters is like, against your religion, you should have an even dozen choices for this mission and its quest!

By the way, Database is not that kids name - it is his Nerd Pseudonym - his real name is Kyle "Database" Brunelleschi - as in Son of Honest John Brunelleschi? Just saying.

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

Seeking a Friend for the End of This Update Pt. 2

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

Seeking a Friend for the End of This Update Pt. 4

Database: Bully Himself (1h) $70 and 17 XP.

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

Seeking a Friend for the End of This Update Pt. 5

Make Database browse magazines on Code...

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

A Deep Bonsai of Relief

It seems that Akira is suffering extreme anxiety over the absence of other Asian residents and, in particular, the absence of Asian residents of his personal acquaintance - he misses his friends and relatives in other words, and we can certainly appreciate that!

Also there is the matter of his experience at a Town Meeting - which even in the best of times when you are expecting to accomplish absolutely nothing can still end up grinding you down.

A Deep Bonsai of Relief Pt. 1

Make Akira plant a bonsai...

Plant Bonsai (12h) $600 and 150 XP.

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

Make Akira Re-pot Bonsai....

Re-pot Bonsai (12h) $600 and 150 XP.

Completing this quest also awards you with $100 and 10 XP and a Bonsai Tree*

* There is a known Bug to this trio of connected quests for this mission that can cause the game NOT to give you the Bonsai Tree that you are supposed to receive upon completion of the Re-pot Task.

IF you experience that Bug, it may seem like the game is basically requiring you to purchase the missing Bonsai Trees since the quest automagically opens the store to the Bonsai Tree for sale there - for 12D.

The thing is you do NOT have to purchase that Bonsai Tree! If you are effected by the Bug - we were - all that you need to do is to simply restart the trio of 12h quests - so (1) Plant, (2) Prune, then (3) Re-pot until it actually DOES deliver a potted Bonsai tree to your inventory.

Now rinse and repeat to obtain the third Bonsai Tree for this quest and mission - and then you can rinse and repeat as often as you like beyond that if you want to obtain more than the three FREE Potted Bonsai Trees - after all They make great decoration Items, right?

A Deep Bonsai of Relief Pt. 4

Make Akira Place Bonsai...

STOP - This is important...

This fourth quest in the mission requires you to place three Bonsai Trees. You will have already placed ONE such tree (the one you got via Database that counts for this quest reading 1/3 already) having completed the process of Plant, Prune, and Re-Pot - each of which is a 12h Task - should result in a FREE Bonsai Tree. See the previous quest about the Bug if it does not - and the solution there.

Place x3 of Akira's FREE Bonsai

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

Note: You do not have to stop here - unless the wizard's fixed it, you can repeat the 36-hour long trio of quests as many times as you like, with each run through (unless you get hit by the Bug and miss one but then you can just rinse and repeat) resulting in a new Potted Bonsai Tree! Or at least that is the way it is supposed to work...

99 Luft-Word-Balloons

Level 45 Update

This is one of those events that will begin in the History books with a profound statement, such as "In the early morning hours of 17 September 2014 - as the children of Springfield lay peacefully asleep and largely unaware, a massive and shadowy evil entity silently slithered into town in a cloud of diesel smoke.

"Mothers subconsciously hugged babies tighter, while father's checked to be sure that the burglar alarm was indeed turned on, sensing the worst.

"Disguised behind the plain green and yellow sides of a fleet of innocent-appearing moving vans upon whose sides was blazoned a lifelike image of the prow of a vast wooden sailing ship, its virginal white sails instantly sparking thoughts of cotton and puffy clouds, quietly brought the newest corporate neighbor to Springfield: ZiffCorp.

"Amidst the fleet of tractor-trailers, riding in the back of a pearl-black 2015 Cadillac XTS Limousine was the man that some would soon think of as - if not outright call - the Anti-Christ: Artemus "Artie" Ziff.

Prepared to personally deliver the behemoth Corporation that he privately called his "baby" while the rest of the world knew it as "ZiffCorp" - Artie Ziff reviewed the well-wrought plans for the invasion of the otherwise fully unsuspecting Springfield.

"A city that thought the phrase "corporate neighbor" was synonymous with taxes, jobs, and a fully-funded city fiscal year, the town fathers of little old Springfield genuinely believed that they fully understood the meaning of the word "evil" after having experienced a lifetime of the effects of one Montgomery Burns.

"But Springfield was about to experience an entirely new level of corporate greed, ethical compromise, and the abuse of political power on a scale heretofore unheard of!" Or something like that... You get the idea?

Tappers who logged into their Springfield this morning were confronted by a rather large and ominous "Content Update" notification that came in the form of a trio of large files that rapidly (well, rapidly depending upon how fast your 'net connection was of course) worked its way into town.

This Artimus Ziff fella was fully prepared to establish himself in Springfield - his personal assistant having already quietly arrived in town two weeks before; after reconnoitering Springfield, she purchased a large chunk of the Central Industrial Park in what the locals called Little Hollywood - and before anybody was the wiser a gleaming silver Z-shaped sign proclaiming "ZIFF CORP" had sprung up on the corner of Jacques Becker Boulevard and Lillian Gish Lane.

This town was shocked to discover that ZiffCorp already had its business licensees, permits, and insurance in place, as well as the approval for construction of this facilities! Not only that but their general contractor was from Shelbyville! No wonder this came as a surprise to Springfield! But enough about Ziff... For now.

Despite confidence that the Updates simply couldn't be what it appeared to be - that is to say it could not be the next Level Cap Update for Level 45 - because that was too soon on the heels of Level 44, right? Right?!

But when the patches and associated Update were fully loaded, the game proceeded to display the congratulatory notice that you had arrived at Level 45 -- and how about that?!

To characterize this as unexpected is to practice in the grossest form of understatement - particularly as we have not seen or experienced this sort of "Update every-other-week" rapidity in nearly a year...

What possible response can one give save for... Well... Woohoo!

Important Note: The Level 45 Cap Increase Mission Series will NOT trigger or progress UNLESS you have already completed the following steps of the previous Level Cap Increase Event:

1. Place and complete Honest John's Computers (New Building)
2. Completely unlock the new character Database
3. Progress your XP Bar thru Level 45 (it needs to actually reach Level 45)

If you are short some XP remember that you can get quick XP from specific purchases - for example Bloodmobiles are worth a decent return of XP per dollar spent.

As is traditionally the case when they hit us with a Level Update, it includes a new Building -- the Fortress of Choclitude -- and we sincerely hope that you have been banking dollars because this bad boy will set you back a cool 10-million of them!

Well, we have no need to worry about another Level Cap increase any time soon, right? After all the average player is going to need some serious hang-time to put together the scratch to pay for the newest "free" (and when we say "free" we mean NOT a Premium) Building added to Springfield!

The Level Cap increase includes all of the traditional elements, from Buildings to missions and quests. Let's get the list out of the way now, shall we? The Level 45 Cap increase includes the following new objects, buildings, and the like:

• BBQ Pig (60D) 2.50% Bonus Money and XP to all Jobs.

• Fortress of Choclitude ($10M) Improves Consumerism Rating

• The Hungry Hun (160D) $200 and 22 XP every 8h. - Includes character: Uter

• Indoor Tennis Courts ($516K - 24h - $60, 6 XP every 2h) Requires: The Way I Wish We Was Pt. 8

• ZiffCorp Office Building ($1,016K - 24h - $90, 10 XP every 2h) Requires: The Way I Wish We Was Pt. 9

• ZiffCorp Sign ($550K) with Artie Ziff character.

Special Note: If you already own The Rich Texan Premium Character he adds a new Quest Line with Artie.

With that out of the way, once you are ready to begin this epic adventure through Level 45, place that Sign!

Deep Background: The Ziff File

If you are like a LOT of Tappers you are probably wondering who this Artimus Ziff fella is? Well as it turns out he actually has an intimate History with the Simpson family (or wishes he did?) No, seriosly - he almost gets Marge, almost ends up the father of Bart, Lisa, and Maggie, and almost gets Homer put in prison for the rest of his life. Almost. But we should properly brief you...

Artimus Ziff: A contemporary of both Homer and Marge, Artie went to school with them as he is originally from Springfield. Back in Jr. High he had a thing for Marge - and Selma (we bet there is a story to be told there!).

Unfortunately for him, Marge and he did not click - and he spends pretty much the rest of his life pining away for her. In the interim he manages to take his idea for a device that transforms modem noise into easy listening music into billions, becoming the 5th richest man in the USA.

The Way I Wish We Was

The first Level 45 Content is a new Mission and first Quest kicked off by none other than the Bouvier Sisters - as Patti and Selma are fully prepared to offer their special and very unique - if dry - take on the events!

The Way I Wish We Was Pt. 1

To help kick-off the next Level and Level Cap Increase, following a brief conversation with a Bouvier, we find ourselves charged with the Introduction of a serious slice of Corporate Culture as ZiffCorp arrives in Springfield!

Seriously though, while we enjoyed the experience of a local and home-grown corporation int he form of

1. Place the ZiffCorp Sign ($550K) Improves Your Consumerism Rating.

The ZiffCorp Sign comes with a new character of Artie "You can't spell party without misspelling Artie!" Ziff!

The Way I Wish We Was Pt. 2

Artie claims that the reason he came was not the reason that first springs to mind for most folks - of course the only way to tell if he is being honest is to wait and see what happens, right?

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

2. Artie: Have a Glass of Soy Milk at Moe's (8h) $275 and 70 XP

3. Moe: Serve Drinks (8h) $275 and 70 XP

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

The Way I Wish We Was Pt. 3

Artie seeks Homer's help in finding his mojo with the ladies - not wanting to be a 34-year-old virgin any longer. Homer teaches Artie everything he needs to know - then arranges for Moe to serve as wingman for Artie's first sortie against the ladies of Springfield...

1. Artie: Spy on Everyone (12h) $420 and 100 XP

2. Moe: Spy on Midge (12h) $420 and 100 XP

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

After the relative success of Homer's secret mission to help Artie out has been done, Artie reveals his true colors by seeking to woo Marge yet again! And this time around, Marge is listening...

Artie: Propose to Marge (24h) $1200 and 300 XP. (+ Marge)

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

The Way I Wish We Was Pt. 5

It seems that it is time for Artie to begin forming business connections now that he has relocated his company to the town...

Artie: Form Business Connections (12h) $420 and 100 XP.

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

The Way I Wish We Was Pt. 6

Get Springfielders to invest in Ziffcorp...

Springfielders: Invest in Ziffcorp (4h) $175 and 45 XP (x10 Springfielders).

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

The Way I Wish We Was Pt. 7

The tactics that Artemus Ziff is using qualify as financial irregularities - that is a polite and Legal way of saying he is playing fast-and-loose with the Money of the folks he has convinced to invest in his company... There has GOT to be a way to call Artemus a Pirate without actually insulting honorable Pirates?!

To put this into perspective for you - thanks in part to the previous federal investigations of ZiffCorp by the SEC, FBI, DHS, and an alphabet soup of other agencies, on paper ZiffCorp looks solid but in reality it was a paper bag inflated with air. Well, it was until Artemus decided to pump the shares via a combination of the Internet and convincing Springfielders to invest in the company.

To add insult to injury the company is so broke that Artemus can't even afford to temporarily rent office space and an Internet Connection! He did his pump-and-dump scheme from a public 'net computer at the local Java Server?!

Artemus: Short Sell Ziffcorp Stock (24h) $600 and 150 XP.

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

The tail-end of Part 7 will trigger a short conversation between Artimus and the Premium Character The Rich Texan *IF* you previously purchased The Rich Texan... That conversation speaks of deals yet to manifest and hints that there is something to be discovered there in a potential relationship between Artemus and the Texan who is too rich for his own good!

The Way I Wish We Was Pt. 8

Artemus reveals the massive fraud hat he engineered around the ZiffCorp Public Stock sales - no apology at all!

Build Indoor Tennis Courts $516K Earns $60 and 6XP every 2h @ 24h Build Time.

Artie: File for Bankruptcy (12h) $420 and 100 XP.

When Artie gets to the end of this quest he is confronted by a series of disturbing facts: he has abused the trust and friendships obtained in Springfield to encourage Springfielders to invest in the stock of his company; which he then compounded by manipulating the value of the stock in order to make obscene amounts of Money from those sales - out of the mistaken belief that doing so would impress Marge - who he then confronts only to be spurned yet again but this time for good? Well it would be if he was listening to her, which of course he was not!

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

The Way I Wish We Was Pt. 9

The next confrontation for Artemus is with Judge Snyder - who in addition to being the Judge for the charges that have been brought against him also happens to be one of the hundreds of locals who were duped and ripped off by Artie! So yeah if you are Artemus Ziff this is NOT a good situation - but then again if you were Arie Ziff you would be completely unaware of the dire circumstances you find yourself in!

Luckily for Artemus Judge Snyder is almost as corrupt as he is! Rather than throw Artie in jail - which would necessarily wipe-out ZiffCorp, Snyder instead sentences Artie to "house arrest" ordering him to build a proper corporate office Building. Why? Simple enough, really!

By forcing Artie to prop-up the corporation it makes the stock values climb - hopefully enough so that the initial group of local investors can sell out and get their Money back!

1. Build the ZiffCorp Office Building $1,016,000 Earns $90 and 10XP every 4h @ 24h Build Time.

Once the Corporate Headquarters completes construction, the ZiffCorp public stock is re-listed on the Stock Exchange, where it is once again publicly-traded giving the community time to get out!

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

Interesting Gossip and Springfield Secrets #1

Our Springfield can be an interesting place, particularly when you begin to dig into its Secrets... Because there are some very deeply held secrets, and a lot of them revolve around Money.

During the Quest Line "The Way I Wish We Was" Artemus Ziff reveals two of those hidden Secrets but you have to be playing close attention to what he says - and know a little bit about the undercurrents of Springfield and The Simpsons (canon for both the TV Show AND the games) to recognize when you are being given insight into the hidden underbelly of the world that is.

In this instance, Artemus Ziff is verbally reviewing all of the truly wealthy residents of Springfield - the ones that he considers to be his competition of sorts. The list is, at first, obvious - but then we see some not so obvious names pop up and, unless you know the hidden stories, they can only tantalize you!

That important conversations is as follows:

Artie: Time to reclaim my crown as the most successful, narcissistic idiot in Springfield’s business universe.

Artie: Watch out, Krusty!

Artie: And Mr. Burns!

Artie: And Duffman!

Artie: And Kent Brockman!

Artie: Geez, I didn’t realize there were so many rich idiots in–

Moe: Keep your monologue to yourself, buddy. This bar is here to forget your problems, not solve them.

Artie: Sorry Moe, I have this bad habit of thinking out loud. I suppose I can’t quite get enough of the delightful sound of my own voice.

The significance of this monologue is only clear to serious fans of the TV Show (and game naturally) who have been paying attention for the past 25 real-life years...

- Krusty Burger Corp.

- Kamp Krusty Korporation

- Krustofski Hospitality Inc. (Owns Asia de Cuba,

- Cirkle-K Ranch (Beef Cattle Mega Ranch)

You get the idea - and there are dozens of other companies that he owns outright - in fact rumor has it that in addition to supplying all of the beef for Krusty Burger his Cirkle-K Ranches also provide the beef for Gulp 'N' Blow (and Krusty is rumored to OWN Gulp 'N' Blow as well)...

All of that taken into consideration it really is no wonder that Artimus worries about the local competition... And that does not even begin to take into account Southern Cracker Corporations owner Luann Van Houten, who when one stops to consider her relatively recent discovery (really it is her self-recognition rather than discovery) of the "feelings" for women she has struggled with since her sorority days at university - and her newly realized bisexuality... We're just saying, equal opportunity for hitting on Marge, you know?

Burning the Midnight Oil

This Mission / Quest will only flag if you previously purchased The Rich Texan - who as it turns out invested in the stock that Artemus was pumping - and failed to get out before Artemus completed the "dump" part of Pump 'N' Dump...

The Rich Texan is looking for revenge - but Artemus is not cooperating so TRT has to revise his plans for satisfaction...

Artie: Practice His Tennis Serving Skills (1h) $70 and 17 XP.

TRT: Raise the Price of Midnight Oil (12h) $600 and 150 XP.

Arte in desperate need of Midnight Oil goes to the distributor to resupply his Indoor Tennis Court only to discover that he cannot obtain any no matter what he is willing to pay! Artie is then surprised when a very short, very ugly man walks up and begins speaking to him...

Vizzini: “You fool! “You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is never to get involved in a land war in Asia! Only slightly less well known is this: never go in against a Rich Texan who owns the Midnight Oil Industry when death is on the line!”

Vizzini: “Who am I?! Well I'm not Miracle Max, that's for certain!”

It seems impossible to be saying this, but wow! We've closed out yet another section to the Guide (the 15th to be precise) that covers us all the way through the Level 45 Cap, and how about that?

So much has happened since we originally hit Level 41 - including some major event and targeted mission action, that it feels like it took a lot longer than it really did to reach this point.

-

So, we will see you in Part 16 - The Level 46 thru Level 50 Arc - which is basically halfway to Level 100 and very cool is that! Well done Tapper! Well done indeed!
