Taps – Finale Event

To our beloved fans,

We have made the difficult decision to sunset Tapped Out. In-app purchases have been disabled, and the game will be removed from the app stores October 31, 2024. You may continue playing until January 24th, 2025, at which point servers will be turned off and TSTO will not be accessible.

The decision to end our twelve-year journey is an emotional one. Together with our partners at The Simpsons™ and The Walt Disney company, we have delighted in bringing this game to you, the fans, and seeing how you’ve each built your own beloved versions of Springfield. It has been a remarkable journey, and we are grateful that we’ve been able to deliver 308 updates, 831 characters and including today’s final farewell 1,463 questlines.

As our journey comes to a close, we offer our sincerest thanks to you, the players, who have made this all possible.

FAQs

Q: MTX purchases are no longer available. Are there still ways to receive donuts in game?

A: Yes! We have added new currency conversion options to the store, found through the “Get More” buttons and in the “Currency” store category. This will allow you to trade in in-game money for donuts, at the same rates as the existing donuts to money conversion that is available.

Additionally, as part of the farewell quests, all players will be receiving every donut-generating premium item in the game, for completing the quest lines. These have all been enhanced, as well, to provide donuts more frequently.

 

Q: Is there a way to be able to obtain items from days long gone, now that events are over?

A: Yes! Throughout the coming weeks, we will be returning as much content from the past twelve years as possible, in waves of a few years of releases at a time. Look for these in the store! This includes both Premium and Prize items. Waves of items will be released on a weekly cadence for the next five weeks.

 

Q: What about land and item limits?

A: As part of the previous event, A Bart Future, we phased in increased land tile availability, along with ramped up item placement limits. While we are not adding any additional increases with Taps, there will be a reference to it within the final questline, as we did not formally announce this enhancement previously.
