The Slide

I would like to request that the Slide be made a decoration that can be bought regularly. I started playing the game recently, and although I am enjoying it I was a little surprised by the lack of "basic" decorations (i.e. standard playground equipment, fire hydrants, power lines). I was also surprised to learn that there was a slide added years ago but has only been available a few times. I think a basic slide available to buy at any time would help spruce up things like the school yard or parks.
  • Hi. Welcome to the game. So, I was curious and indeed, there is no slide to buy direct from the store, but I have 22 stored which tells me that the slide is available via some mini game but I can't remember which one. Maybe someone can answer that? My store shows that you can buy monkey bars, swing sets and teeter totters. You can buy a premium tether ball, that has a cinder block instead of a tether ball. If you don't have these items yet, you'll need to unlock them through upcoming quests. Part of the fun is progressing and unlocking new decorations.

  • Hi Bluntcard

    Thank you for your response. I have unlocked all the items in the store, including the ones you specified. Sorry if I was unclear in my post, I was just trying to articulate the feeling I have that while the game contains a large amount of decorations if often feels like it is missing more "basic" things (or makes them very difficult to get). According to this wiki page the slide has been made available three times, the last time being in 2017. it could be incorrect but it is the best resource that I have to go off of. https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/The_Simpsons:_Tapped_Out_decorations/Entertainment_decorations#Slide
  • The red tube slide was from Stonecutters, and a re-release the next year. The blue traditional slide was a prize in the 2015 winter event. It seems to me we could craft them but I'm just guessing on that part. I have a ton of the red ones so they must have been cheap. Theblue originally was 8500.00 IGC

    Agree. This has been a discussion that has gone on for years, practical decorations. Picnic tables, telephone poles, boats that float on river water. But, it has forced people to be more creative with what they do have. We won Venice canal boats during one event, if you hide the front end behind a tree they look like canoes which I use in my Kamp Krusty area. It would be better to just have canoes, but we don't.

  • Is the Venice boat the only thing we can place on "inland waters"?

    Yes. Wish they would allow more boats to go in inland waters.

    Man I didn't even think of picnic tables! Traffic lights is another one. Well I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who has noticed this. Does anyone know if the dev's read this forum? Is this the best place to make suggestions? Have any changes been made after it has gotten a lot of attention here? I have no doubt that the devs work quite hard, it just seems like little additions like these could go a long way.
  • Some people think that some of the changes that have been made, are due to this forum. I'm not so certain.

    They have definitely read this forum in the past as certain things that have been mentioned on here have appeared in the game, seem also to remember a certain forum users getting a mentioned in the game too, but as to how often they visit these days I've got no idea as the forum is far from busy like it used to be.
  • Does anyone know if we can make Magic Academy Castle Walls? Is there a mini game?
