    Some users here on the forum speak of a program called BlueStacks (I think) which allows you to run Tapped Out on your PC. A few people have issues with it though. You should check it out, there's some stuff in this update you don't wanna miss out on.

    can you use your mouse to do the tapping?

    if so it sounds like a good little quick fix :twisted:

    yes i tried it and you do use the mouse for tapping
    it does not work as nice as it does on a tablet or phone but it does work
    just be careful where you are clicking to scroll across your town so as to not spend donuts by mistake by speeding up the building taxes

    That's a good question. I've never had to use it, so I recommend you Google it and do a bit of research. I would assume that you use the mouse for tapping, but assuming it works exactly the same way as the iOS/Android version, then this would definitely be your best bet. Then you buy some donuts and get yourself one of those bada$$ Duff Party Buses. 8)

    Sorry to hear that. Like I said I don't know a great deal about it. Ask Google, that's all I can really suggest. :?

    On a different but related subject (?) can I ask a question about some of the other premium items?

    I'm a relative newby to this game so didn't play when it was Christmas or Halloween and I'm guessing that's where things like the Aztec Theatre and the Bowlarama originally came from?

    Where they collectible items like the Motel and Duff Stadium in Whacking Day? If so, does anyone think that they will be made available in a future collectibles task? I'd love some of these items in my Springfield but I really don't want to spend REAL money getting the hundreds of donughts I'd need to buy them all...

    Many thanks.

    Blue stacks is the nuts. But rarely use it because I always got either, my gs3, ipad or iPod touch. But if wort comes to worst I like to play it on a bigger screen :mrgreen:

    some of the buildings and characters you could earn as part of the in-game quests and later on became premium content

    case in point is Barney and the Bowlarma

    but still others, like the Aztec Theater were released immediately as premium items for donuts

    in that regard just play everyday and try to meet all the requirements of quests to get the new content before they become premium items costing donuts :mrgreen:

    Good advice. Agree 100%. Bowlorama was the first premium item I bought (started in Feb) and was heartbroken to find out that it was free during the Christmas update. Made sure that wouldn't happen with the Whacking Day stuff.

    Thanks guys, one last question - is there a way of knowing what your total $ and XP multiplier is? I've seen some people say they're up to 450 multiplyer and more, but how do you know this unless you're keeping track of your premium items and what they give?

    I've looked everwhere I can think of but I can't see anything that lets me know what my total bonus multiplier is.

    Next time you tap the Gulp n Blow for a payout, count exactly how much cash it pays out.

    Normally it pays out $100. Mine pays out $152, which means I have a 52% multiplier. Make sense?

    ok yep, makes perfect sense. Thanks again!
