The Simpsons: Tapped Out

Unused ObjectsIncluding decorations and other crap.

Unused Quests"Shh... the bronze is boiling..."

Unused Characters#

Gil#

Artwork for Gil on the unlock screen, character set, and inventory. The artwork suggests that at one point Gil would have been a controllable character.

Bort#

A talking and reminder sprite for adult Bort from the episode "Itchy & Scratchy Land".

Jackington#

A talking sprite for Jackington from the episode "The Bart Wants What It Wants".

Jackson 5#

Text can be found for a character from the episode "The Great Money Caper" based on the pop band of the same name. The Jackson 5 would have been a non-controllable character on the Squidport boardwalk.

Textstring	Text
jacksonfive_desc	A performer for your boardwalk.
jacksonfive_name	Jackson 5
jacksonfive_name_full	Jackson 5
jacksonfive_unlockmessage	C'mon, Brothers, let's not fight -- let's dance!

Unused Skins#

3D Homer#

A talking sprite for 3D Homer from the episode "Treehouse of Horror VI"'s segment "Homer³" was added to the files in the Tap Ball 2015 Event, but was never used.

Memorabilia#

Memorabilia would've acted like unlocking characters in the game, without assigning it to jobs (duh). If you were to unlock all memorabilia, it would act similar to unlocking all characters in a single set: a measly $100. If you sacrifice a couple of donuts, or if you're lucky enough to get one from completing a job, you can slowly complete a set. The probability of unlocking memorabilia the long way is 0 to 1 (although they all cost a whopping one donut).

Debugging Features#

To do:
eMenu_Debug is mentioned in the executable, enable this if possible.

Manifest#

In the application manifest for the given platform, a few flags can be set.

ServerErrorReason: Shows much more details on the connection error screen. It doesn't support scrolling the text which can likely make it impossible to press Retry, so be sure to have to constantly restart the game when using this.

SaveLogToDisk: Saves a log (of what?) to the device's disk.

SaveLandToDevice: Saves the player's local progress to the device's disk while offline, this doesn't allow offline play, signing into an Origin account that has progress will delete the local progress and its IDs from the device.

ShowVersionsInAbout: Shows all version info in About, this includes Client Version, BGCore Version, Land Data Version, DLC Source, DLC Location, Server Environment, Region, DLC Index and DLC Packages.

Internal Project Name#

To do:
Other mentions?

The game's signature mentions "Simpsons4", likely referring to this being the fourth Simpsons game developed by EA Mobile. It could also mean Apocalypse¹, referencing the four horsemen from the Bible.
