Game Request: Buy alternate voices for characters.

Since I play with the sound off, it's not a problem for me. I don't even know what any of the last dozen characters released sound like.

    I really wish they would add the voices for the characters that don't have voices for some reason. It's one thing to not have a voice for characters that are hardly seen in the show like Miss Springfield, but I don't know why they'd not add voice clips for more major characters like Milhouse or Mrs. Krabappel.

    One interesting thing I recently learned is that many of voice clips (and even the background music) used in The Simpsons Tapped out were actually taken from The Simpsons Game made by EA in 2007. I recently rented it and heard pretty much most of the clips I've heard in The Simpsons Tapped Out and it actually gave me the answer as to why Carl says that "Things like this won't happen when Obama's president!" quote even though Obama was already president when Tapped Out was made. Though, since many of the inexplicably unvoiced characters already have voice clips in The Simpsons game (and other past EA Simpsons games) they could just use the old voice clips.


    I'm sure it comes down to licensing and budgeting. Also, the woman who voiced Mrs. Krabapple, who's name eludes me atm, passed away so I'm not sure they would add a voice for her now out of respect.

    To be fair the Obama line sounds like something Carl would say regardless of the date...
