It’s CHRIIIIIIIIIIIISTMAAAAAAAAAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Merry Holidays everybody and Happy New Year!! I’m looking forward to this event purely because it’s Christmas and I’m excited for Christmas!! Let’s celebrate by collecting loads of Event Currency, probably do some crafting, hurt our eyes on the bright snow that we’re not used to and complain about it, then hurt our eyes on the lush green grass when the event is over and complain about it!!!Once again, this is the place for all your hints, tips, tricks and maths, so if you have anything to offer, please let me know by posting it here, and if I think it’s important enough I’ll add it to the front page and cite you as the source. :)Good luck everybody!!Important NotesPlease be aware, that for most events, after the update, the Donut Confirmation option in the game settings change, meaning you may spend donuts when you don't want to, because the option has changed and you pressed the wrong button-not something you should be penalised for. Muhsterino has provided a thread showing you how to check this. It's the first part hidden by "Spoiler": https://forums.ea.com/en/the-simpsons-tapped-out/discussion/90074/tips-for-new-players/p1?new=1This is also a brilliant thread anyway that Muhsterino has alerted me to for this message, that I think can be equally useful for long-term players as well as the new players it's "marketed" to.Christmas Event Dateshttps://forums.ea.com/en/the-simpsons-tapped-out/discussion/180715/the-invasion-before-christmas-event-dates#latestEvent Calendarhttps://forums.ea.com/en/the-simpsons-tapped-out/discussion/180700/the-invasion-before-christmas-event-calendar#latest

Robo-funzo finder in top right. Kinda new feature.

When you visit your neighbour, the count for Riggilean batteries is inside your neighbours town bottom left, so easy to keep count of how many more batteries to collect.Previous event was on the outside.

We still don't get credit for the last one, though. Only the first 29.

That's the holiday bazaar screen with snowmen and pagan fences for donuts. It's confusing because the holiday icon is the UFO with Christmas decorations and the bazaar is the tent with Christmas decorations.

Where??

I have done 3 parts of "The invasion is a soow joke pt.9", Missing the Construction site, and now nothing happens? That was a short lived event, I downloaded this morning. Or am I missing something?

The questline will continue when you get enough event currency to place the Construction Site down, and wait 4 hours. (It will apparently take 4 hours to build, like the upcoming Robo-Funzo Workshop.)

Oh no... just grinding away then. I still haven't got to the no 2 price.

I have a feeling that getting event currency will get a lot easier when the Workshop is placed and built.

It isn't. I rushed everything with donuts and there is no other way to get currency except for robo-funzos and the wrapping paper game.

In the Re-Gifting Machine game:

Straight-out losing / exiting won me 25 Rigellian Batteries and 7 Wrapping Paper.
Tapping one robo-funzo but losing awarded the same amount of each plus 1 Magical 2x4.
Winning by tapping 15 robo-funzo awarded me 75 Rigellian Batteries, 15 Magical 2x4, and 0 Wrapping Paper.

So that's 25 Rigellian Batteries for playing, and 50 more for winning. 1 Magical 2x4 for each robo-funzo tapped. And it looks like 7 Wrapping Paper only if you lose, I guess as a possible second try (half of what you need to play again). It doesn't matter how many seconds or how many hits you take. They aren't factored into the reward.

The top of the screen is the most susceptible to attack, so keep an eye on that. Might want to keep that part of the screen as just snow. I play in a field of snow, all white around. :)

I keep consistently tapping 18 or 19 Robo-Funzos in the time limit.
