    Can you get it if your still on the Easter update? Can I play the easter update on one device and try to complete the tie in on a different up to date device, will that work??

    Unfortunately, no. Once you update a device, any town you enter will be update. You won't be able to access that town on the non-updated device. Or that's how it was for the first Halloween update
    That's a shame - I'm still trying to get fiestas but I want the tie in too. When does it end, Sunday? How many tasks is it?

    Yeah this stinks.... how are these people even getting into the game??? I cant even get past the log in screen.... happy for those people that are able to play, but for the rest of us it is now just a waiting game and I am sure by the time we get on, stuff will no longer be available. EA where are you guys?????

    It's awesome we are getting a skin for Milhouse and Cool Lisa free but I think it would of been even more awesome if we got M0na Simpson as well since she's supposed to be in this episode

    This.

    I would so love to get M0na Simpson as a playable character. (Regular version)

    I agree she could since Shari wasn't a Ghost

    Not sure if this is from a previous episode or Sunday's but found this picture on tstogame

    I have no idea. But I'm sure someone is done with it or will be by tomorrow. If it's not like the Homer Grave tie in, you should be able to log in by Sunday and be okay. I just finished the Kumiko quest in one of my sub towns yesterday. It even prompted me to "watch the Simpsons and find out what happened"

    An episode tie in with two character skins not bad. I really like cool Lisa. (fit Milhouse is ok) I would have liked to see the yard sale though hopefully we get it next week.

    I'm thinking tstotopix will have it later and then the OP will post the walkthrough

    How many days will this tie-in last? I had to downgrade to easter apk because I couldn't even log into my town, so now I'm waiting for a fix while zapping bunnies for nothing, with zero friends to visit since they all updated. If I lose fit milhouse or anything else because of this crashing update I'm gonna be top mad.

    You should have until Monday morning May 19 the latest before it's taken down. That's usually how Episode tie-ins work.

    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).

    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.

    Adding my thanks as well. It looks like folks shouldn't get too stressed about being able to complete this mini quest before it ends. Takes less than 2 days (46 hours total).

    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.

    Looks like they decided to do something else for The Simpsons season 25 finale instead of having the season 25 yard sale update. I really like this update because we finally get the Cool Lisa skin we have been waiting for as a friend point prize. I have the Fit Milhouse skin and the Macaroni’s Shed which are two very unique limited time items.
