I decided to give in to the community.

Milhouse has a 6 hour quest, then a 4 hour quest (both self triggered). After that you get Fit Milhouse (added to INVENTORY). There's then a 12 hour then a 24 hour quest.

If you have Lugash, another storyline opens up. Pretty lengthy - check out my walkthrough (http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/10087262.page).

Thanks for posting that not bad though

that reminds me of the one with hank scorpio and homer in another event

With all due respect to the justifiably angry mob (it sucks when your game doesn't work) - there are a lot of people that clearly don't understand how product development works on a technology platform. Any content updates would be on a product roadmap and have dedicated developers working to deliver against that timeline. In this case an episode tie in is intended to drive tune-in to the tv show, which is supported by ad dollars. Delaying the launch would be like delaying a super bowl commercial until the following weekend. It misses the intended point.

Bugs would be handled by a different group of developers and addressed on a case by case basis with different levels of priorities assigned. This group is usually fixing the mess that the other group made.

Getting upset about having something new, before old issues are addressed is like comparing apples to oranges.

This would all be awesome if I could actually make it past the splash screen and play the game.

Come on EA.

True points. In perspective it takes 6-8 months to make one episode of the Simpson's. These things have been planned for some time now.

Whats the Macaroni Shed from? I think I missed that one.

This was my question as well.

Probably from the finale

This was most likely already programmed and already ready to go.

I sincerely doubt that EA would be releasing new time-sensitive content with the current state of the game for some customers and game players...


I havent received the update yet, but I'm looking forward to it :-)

What you said. Time constraint forced them to release the tie-in. Had they waited folks would be unhappy about that delay.

I'm on iPad and it is laaaaaaaaaaaaaaagy. But I'm hiding things and doing the quest for the tie-in.

Hard to visit others though.

They'll get it fixed. It's their business.

I'm pretty pleased with the new skin for Lisa (I haven't unlocked it yet, just read about it). "Summer of 4 Foot 2" is a really good episode. It's the one where they go to the Cape Cod-like beach. Lisa episodes can be hit or miss, but that one was good. I'm not sure I get the Macaroni's Shack reference or the Fit Milhouse reference though. Are those from newer episodes? I'm more into the early stuff, so I only have seasons 1-10. I haven't watched much past then, only a few major episodes like Maude's death. Does anyone know the references for those things? I've never heard of them. I really hope we get M0na (aka Muddy Mae Suggins, as her fake ID says :-) ). We need either Marge's or Homer's mom.
