"Tricks"

nope... homer for the statue and cleaning up springfield are the only ways to get free donuts aside from random give-a-ways on holidays by ea.

There is also now Sideshow You.

That's the only one I've seen.

I think there are two things in play with these that will tell you a lot if you know what to look for.

1) The Statue/donuts trick is the one constant among all sites/videos. Every single one of them mentions this. Why? For validation. They have one that works, so most people will see that and credibility is established, so they can go on and use that credibility to b.s. you the rest of the way.

2) Every other "cheat" or "glitch" is different in every single one. No two seem to be exactly the same. If they worked, like the Statue/donuts trick, you would see another constant across the board. There would be NO differences.

Sometimes we're so eager to find something that we don't pay as much attention to this sort of thing. And this sort of thing tells us everything we need to know about what we're looking at.
