    Been unable to log in to the game or forum for a week or so. Sorry to ask a silly question. But I cannot find Brendine for purchase and is this purchase necessary to start the quest chain for the Spuckler Brood?

    Cancel the above. For some reason half of this thread, did not load in correctly. When I refreshed the page I realised I had missed a whole discussion on my above question, including a link to all the available prizes and quest chains. Doh!

    People do it for corn all the time.

    people spend 90 donuts to speed up corn?


    Sorry, I was referring to the 90-day wait for corn.


    It's a ridiculous amount more to speed up corn.

    Actually, from these posts, in order to get the trio, it takes a total of NINE MONTHS. Egad. And I agree with you. If I were EA, I'd put them on the premium list all grouped together a la Sheri/Teri, with the info "i" button saying you can choose to wait nine months to get them, one every three months, for free.

    Because IF brandine is unable to be assigned tasks for that nine-month period, and IF she pays out premium rates, I'm losin' a passel of cash waiting around nine months to use her. Even if her kids are nonplayable, even if they pay out ZERO, I'd be interested to know the break-even point where losing income from brandiine tasks matches money I'd make from playable kids.

    90 donuts for three characters sounds okay to me. Ive paid out donuts for boats that juust sit there. :)

    It appears the kids "pay out" for just walking around, just like the extras in Krusty Land

    It woluld be slightly different if brandine coluld be doing other tasks during the nine months. d IF Brandines other (non-child-bearing ) tasks are outdoors and fun, well ...

    They do pay out, the kids. I got $153 every time I tap them (I think every 4/5 hours?)

    1. It is a 90 day task, so she is locked up for 90 days doing this task. It is an outdoor task where she walks around town and her belly is bigger (than normal).

    2. She does net a cash pay out, but like all other tasks you would make millions more doing the shorter ones. I want to say it's like 10k or something? Obviously not worth it. I'm sure someone else can enlighten the group here.

    3. I do think they intended people to use donuts, since corn is also 90 days, but that's like 1800 some donuts. So they knew this 90 days would not be enjoyable if they made it match that amount of donuts.

    4. The kid I selected in that picture I posted gave me over $1000 (closer to 2000) for the 12-16 hours he was walking around. Haven't calculated the bonus percent in a long time.

    4 characters for 100 donuts quite a deal but I was going to buy Brandine anyway so does not matter to me. Hoping Mary gets added in the future after all she is the most well known of the Spuckler children.

    I believe Brandine herself is labeled as "limited", so you have to make that purchase. Her kids are definitely good after Valentine's Day since not everyone will rush the task with 30-90 donuts (total). Her kids only collect cash, not hearts, and they don't have tasks. I do not think you can give them hearts either.

    So to be honest, the kids will be fine to come 90, 180, 270 days later and would be the same as if you paid 90 donuts (combined total) for all 3 now.

    I'm assuming she may be a full time premium after the event, seems like a lot of coding went into it.

    question:

    does doing the 90 day task prevent Brandine from doing other tasks?

    I'd assume so...anyone else know for sure?

    She's walking around pregnant, and gestating 3x as fast as other women. That should be enough for her to do.

    .

    Thanks! 9 months for 3 kids seems so long.

    Normally it's 9 months for 1 kid ;) (now and than some more...)

    I was hoping they were triplets. They look about the same age. ;) but I guess it is amazing she gives birth to what appear to be 6 year olds.

    Just as amazing as none of the characters ever ageing lol

    WOW! I actually never expected my avatar to really become a character on this game, LOL. I can't believe it. Looks like I'll be buying Brandine, and birthing me some spucklers!!

    Proud to be an Appalachian.

    Congrats :) I'm sure that's the dream of everyone who has a Simpsons character avatar ;)

    I am definitely hoping for a live action Katy Perry in the game, as well as a Burns puppet skin for Burns!


    On-topic, I am definitely buying Brandine, I want those kids!

    It would have been good if her 90 day task was an outside one. That would have ensured me buying her.

    It IS a outside task she walks pregnant around SF.
    The kids are kinda like a store: they generate 100$ (plus bonus) every 4 hours (if u store them u can see that on the i menu)

    She could, but Brandine is more a regular character. Typically the premium ones that come with the events stay with the game. Krustylou studios/Mel was introduced Christmas 2012 - still around. Lugash/gym was introduced Whacking Day 2013 - still around.

    She may be limited, but based on who she is, and how she generates 3 other characters, I'm just making a guess she may stick around.

    Then what is the point of making here limited? The whale is new but not limited, brendine is new but limited as the sign says. If she would stay, that sign would not appear right, like by the whale, who does not have a sign saying it's a limited item.

    how much cash does each kid generate?

    :?

    waiting 90 days for a kid means Brandine can't do any tasks for the 90 days...that's a lost $90,000 (assuming 24hour tasks) to have each kid

    :? is that worth it?

    100 bucks + bonus. Some websites report that if you not tap the kids and wait, your payout will be higher.

    And yes, it is worth it. You get 3 new kids and a female character.

    Edit: I just checked. I tapped the kids for the last time 8 hours ago and just got 300 bucks from each. (So 900 total). It does work, if you wait longer too tap, you'll get more.
