What Makes a Home

After the user logs in on January 9th: Ah! Thanks to global warming, spring is already in the air. You know what that means? Seasonal allergies? It means we can swindle old ladies into paying us to do their spring cleaning! Aw man, the only thing I hate more than cleaning is swindling. So much pressure! Tell ya what: I'll handle the swindling, you do the cleaning. Phew, thanks. There's Mrs. Skinner! We're supposed to be cleaning her house right now! Hide! Task: Make Milhouse Hide in the Brown House (6s, Brown House) Task: Make Bart Hide in the Brown House (6s, Brown House) Whew, fortunately this Brown House was right here within running distance. And it has an asthma inhaler in it, to help me recover from that short distance running. Yeah, Brown Houses always have just what you need in them. It's almost like they can read your mind. It can read minds? I better not think of anything scary. Oh no, trying not to think of scary things is scary! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Mystery of the Brown House

Mystery of the Brown House Pt. 1

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: We finished cleaning your Brown House, Ms. Glick! We?! I did all the cleaning, you and Milhouse just played Frisbee with Ms. Glick's many, many doilies. That's not true -- I also blew my nose into one. Milhouse. Milhouse, come to me. I have all the Puppy Goo-Goos you want. Well, I only want one, so... okay! I'll investigate this ominous voice. Task: Make Milhouse Investigate Ominous Voice (4h, Brown House) Task: Collect Hard Candies [x200] Now now, children. I have enough candy for everyone. There's no need to fight. We're not fighting. And neither of us wants the candy. Fine, more for me! ...is what I would say if I could still eat candy. Now take some! Quest reward: 100 and 10

Mystery of the Brown House Pt. 2

After tapping on Bart's exclamation mark: All right, lady, we cleaned the house. Where's the dough? Sorry, I don't have dough, only candy. No, I mean where's the cheese? I don't have any cheese either. Bart, stop using outdated, confusing slang terms for money and just ask for our payment! For all your hard work, here's two shiny quarters. Ugh, how are we gonna split that three ways? Wait a minute -- where's Milhouse? It's not like him to not be lurking near me... Task: Place Ms. Glick's House Task: Make Lisa Search for Milhouse (4h, Ms. Glick's House) Task: Collect Hard Candies [x200] I can't find Milhouse anywhere. Maybe he got lost trying to play hide-and-seek by himself again. He'd never be late to eat candy. I think something bad happened to him. I'm sure your friend Milton will show up when you least expect it. Have some more candy. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Mystery of the Brown House Pt. 3

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: Do you ever wonder why Ms. Glick has us clean so many Brown Houses? Maybe she's a savvy business woman -- she cleans houses and flips them for a tidy profit. I always wanted to say "tidy profit". Makes me feel like a rich jerk from an '80s movie. No, those houses aren't normal. They're always abandoned, but fully furnished. I think there might be a connection between the Brown Houses and Milhouse going missing. If we just follow the clues and slowly piece them together-- Found it, right here on my phone. It's like a curse/ritual sacrifice sorta thing. Task: Make Bart Undercut Lisa's Big Moment (4h, Springfield University, Lisa) Task: Collect Hard Candies [x350] Why do you always want to piece together clues? So tedious. Just tell me what you found out! Ms. Glick is actually hundreds of years old and has been sacrificing kids to the magical Brown House to stay alive. That's amazing! I'm proud of you for figuring it out, Bart. Some other kids figured it out and posted it to the Internet. Quest reward: 100 and 10

Mystery of the Brown House Pt. 4

After tapping on Alice Glick's exclamation mark: Say, would you kids like some more candy? Why? So you can lure us into that house and sacrifice us? What?! I-- how did you know about that? It's online. Oh... I was planning on slowly revealing my scheme as I tortured you. I know, right? It takes all the fun out of this mystery. Does it? It's just less story to slog through. Well, I'm still going to go through with my ritual! Task: Make Ms. Glick Prepare for the Ritual (8h, Ms. Glick's House) Task: Collect Hard Candies [x400] And place an eye of newt here, and draw a pentagram on the floor over here... "Eye of newt"? That's so played out! Where do you even get that anymore? It's a tried and true trope, Bart! It's classic. Now let her go through her ritual! Seems like a stall, is all I'm saying... Quest reward: 100 and 10

Mystery of the Brown House Pt. 5

After tapping on Alice Glick's exclamation mark: There, all set up. Finally! Can we get on with it? We all know how it's gonna end. Oh? How's that? You're gonna try to sacrifice us, Lisa's gonna figure out how to stop you, we save Milhouse and life goes on. As much as I hate to say it, he's right. I mean, it's not like this is Halloween where we can die. True, but it's the only Glick-centered update I'm going to get, so I'm going to make it count! AHHHH! Task: Make Ms. Glick Sacrifice Bart and Lisa (4h, Original Brown House, Lisa) Task: Collect Hard Candies [x300] Wow! The house devoured them. Even I'M surprised that worked! So... what? We're dead? That's really not supposed to happen. But I need to feed on children's souls in order to grant Ms. Glick eternal life. Whoa! You can talk? That would have been fun to see in this update before now. Look, if we're dead then people will get mad and stop tapping... and then this whole game will be dead. But I don't want that! I just got here. I never even got to just walk around and do meaningless tasks. Look, all I really need is children's souls. I could keep those and let the children go. Works for me, I guess. Bart? Sure. I made a big stink about losing my soul once, but that was a long time ago. Great. The children get to stay and I get my dinner. And I get to live forever! *evil cackle* Quest reward: 200 and 20

Night School

Night School Pt. 1

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark: With the kids playing after-school hockey, and Homer drinking after-work hooch, I don't know what to do with my nights.

Uh, maybe I'll just take a night class... Task: Make Marge Take Night Classes (4h, Springfield University) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Night School Pt. 2

After tapping on Marge's exclamation mark: I didn't know so many Springfielders were interested in furthering their education. I'm just here because I wasn't getting enough gossip at church. I come for the indoor heating. I'm here because the textbook pages make great rolling papers. And I'm starting to learn that maybe too much education is a bad thing... Task: Make Marge Drop Out of Night School (4h, Springfield University) Ah, home sweet home. What will I do first. *suck-suck* Oh, right. Take care of my infant child. Quest reward: 200 and 20

A New Wrinkle on Dating

A New Wrinkle on Dating Pt. 1

After completing Mystery of the Brown House Pt. 5 and tapping on Alice Glick's exclamation mark: Maybe I'll give retirement home living a shot. It's pretty nice. Plenty of room to shuffle around, and you get three squares a day. Although I prefer my squares rounded so I don't cut my mouth. At least I'll be the most spry person here. Cha-cha-cha, this place is a dream! Even homier than the homeless center! What's that whippersnapper doing here?! I'm supposed to be the ingenue, not him! Task: Make Ms. Glick Act Young (12h, Retirement Castle or Brown House) Quest reward: 100 and 10

A New Wrinkle on Dating Pt. 2

After tapping on Jasper's exclamation mark: My favorite part of this show is when it cuts to extremely loud commercials -- it's the only thing I can hear. What is this lame show, dude?

Task: Make Ms. Glick Try to Watch Music Videos (4h, Retirement Castle or Brown House) Quest reward: 100 and 10

A New Wrinkle on Dating Pt. 3

After tapping on Alice Glick's exclamation mark: Ah, who am I kidding, I'm just an old crone. Try as I might, I'll never be young. Guess I'll just knit some socks. This is my life now. Whoa, are you crocheting? Go ahead, laugh at me. I deserve it for getting old. No, it's cool! I saw it on Pinterest! Really? A young person like you thinks I'm cool? Well, I'm sort of an un-cool young person-- A young person thinks I'm cool! Task: Make Ms. Glick Have a Knitting Circle (8h) If not unlocked as animated job: Task: Make Ms. Glick Have a Knitting Circle (8h, Brown House) Quest reward: 100 and 10

A New Wrinkle on Dating Pt. 4

After completing A New Wrinkle on Dating Pt. 3: Man, I was killing it in today's Senior Water Aerobics class! Unfortunately, the slippery floor was killing it too. R.I.P. Mrs. Henderson. Pff, water aerobics? Give me a break. You think you can out-youth me? It's called being a hipster. You do all the things old people do -- knit, use typewriters, listen to records -- but you do it "ironically". Here, have some gross old-timey candy... ironically. Task: Make Ms. Glick Hand Out Mints (1h) Wow, since when did the nursing home get so cool? Now my gross old man beard is a hipster beard. I found an old film camera in my closet, so I'm super into photography now! This place is really hopping. I feel so young again! Now I need to find a boyfriend... Quest reward: 100 and 10

A New Wrinkle on Dating Pt. 5

After tapping on Alice Glick's exclamation mark: I thought with my newfound youth, dating would be much easier. But it's so time consuming going out and trying to get to know people to see if I like their personality. Personality? Dating nowadays is about making a snap judgement about someone after two seconds of looking at them. Are you talking about dating apps? No one in here has a cellphone, so I can't "swipe right" on them. Most of them are in wheelchairs though. If you like the way they look, swipe their wheelchair to the right. And if I don't, swipe it to the left and never think of them again! Task: Make Ms. Glick Swipe Right on Dates (1h, Retirement Castle or Brown House) Well, I instantly judged every guy in the nursing home, and I didn't get to know any of them. I'm still alone, but I feel superior to everyone I rejected. Modern dating is great! Quest reward: 200 and 20

Eternal Overcast of the Hive Mind

After tapping on Nelson's exclamation mark: Man, my fastball is on fire today. I've thrown rocks through six of the Brown House's windows! Stop it, Nelson! How would you like it if I threw stuff at you? I'd like it a lot. It'd mean someone was paying attention to me. Aw, Nelson. Come on, I'll help you fix the windows. No. *sniffs* Don't worry about me. Just work on fixing yourself, little boy. Heh-heh, my crippling loneliness pays off again! Task: Make Lisa and the Original Brown House Clean Up Nelson's Mess (4h, Original Brown House) Quest reward: 100 and 10

Eternal Overcast of the Hive Mind Pt. 2

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark: What's the matter, Mr. Brown House? You seem down. My floor boards are really creaking today. I think I may be... haunted. There's no such thing as ghosts. Oh really? Then how do you explain this? *spooky grinding noise* I'm sure there's a logical explanation. But just in case, I have a how-to book on performing exorcisms. It's called "The Power of Advice Compels You". Task: Make Lisa Perform an Exorcism (4h, Original Brown House) The exorcism worked! The ghost is gone! It wasn't a ghost, it was Nelson squatting in your house. Haw-Haunted? Quest reward: 200 and 20
