I did. It was Halloween 2013. I saw an ad on a random website. Simpsons and Halloween? I was hooked. I had no idea what I was doing, but it was a blast. I remember getting stuck during the event questline because I needed either Marge or Moe and I had yet to unlock them. I was still able to finish the event. Seemed so easy. I remember checking the counter on the community prizes and hoping we would reach the goal...LOL I was so clueless. It seems here lately that it could be difficult finishing some acts if you start the game in the midst of one.

I started playing the day it was released on the US App Store. March 1, 2012. Back then there wasn't no updates at all because the game was pulled from all App Stores 2 days later. And wasn't put back until August 2012. So all we had was the initial 20 levels. A lot of people gave up hope back then. We also had this forum too, but it was a different scene back then. @KrustyBrand can attest to this. He was there with me in those days.It wasn't until September 21, that we got our first ever content update. Level 21, then a week later we got the very first ever Episode Tie-in, followed by the very first event. Halloween 2012 and the rest is history.

I didn't. I started right after whacking day ended. Squidport and Krustyland were released during the summer but no real timed event, so I was able to progress without event issues.

I'm not sure, I either started right after whacking day, or just as Stonecutters started. I'm not sure if there was anything between those two, but I know I missed WD and really struggled with Stonecutters. It was a while after before I made it to the forum, I'd been on others and they were a waste of time.

As I've probably described ad nauseam, Aug 14th last year, just about 36hrs before Sci-Fi hit.... I hadn't a clue what was happening and my town looked so out of place with more futuristic buildings than normal.. to this day they're still set against the mountains to try and lessen their look around my town.... That was the only time I ever missed out on an act prize as well, Sgt. Skinner in Act 1, simply because I was new at it I think, made sure I got President Lisa and that's when I was suckered in...

I think I first downloaded just before the thanksgiving 2013 event, which feels longer than 4 years agoSrcatch that, took a look at the wiki it was some weeks before the 2013 whacking event I have prizes from then.

Did you start playing TSTO during an event?

Early in Act 2 of the Tapball event for me. I managed to get some act 2 stuff done and a pretty good amount of act 3 including the ballet skin for Ralph and boxer skin for Drederick Tatum nether of which I could use since I didn't have either character.

I've brought it up twice. But Sure since this is an official thread about it. lol I first got into the game during the last act of Stonecutters. Which was a long time ago. Or it feels its been a long time.

I started with about a day left of the monorail event. Got one station and a few pieces. It wasn't until the monorail relaunch that I was able to expand. The THOH was next, and I was t at full steam, so I think a messed that one up a little, but I still had fun. That Christmas I missed out on Patches and Poor Violet because I wasn't maximizing these events. The last character I failed to get was Sweet Lucious, but I think that was because of work.

Wow, I have NO idea when I started or even if there was an event on?? I know the snakes in my town was a very early event. I also remember it was snowy. I couldn't wait to see my town in Summer!!! <3

I started playing during Christmas 2013. But since I had just started, I was coveting the in game cash and didn't want to spare putting money towards the Present Depot. How dumb of a move was that? I had at least 2-3 weeks I could have taken advantage of the event. I think I've bought half of the stuff now for donuts.

I started when it was re-released in the App Store Aug '12. 20 levels to play through, then we had to wait for level 21! Updates were few and far between and then the first Halloween update came and it was huge, misty fog, different music, crushing zombies and TP and Eggin' houses! Then Christmas came and that's when I was truly excited, with the snow and collecting coins!
