Tips for Collecting All Characters Smoothly
Collecting all the characters in The Simpsons Tapped Out requires time, strategy, and sometimes real-world money. By following the game’s storyline, participating in events, and utilizing the premium currency wisely, players can gradually unlock every character and build their ultimate version of Springfield. Let me give you more detailed explanations of what you are supposed to do.
1. Progress Through the Storyline
- Complete Quests: Many characters are unlocked by progressing through the game’s main storyline. Complete quests and missions to gradually add more characters to your Springfield.
- Level Up: As you gain experience points and level up, new characters become available. Focus on completing tasks and missions to accumulate XP quickly.

3. Use Donuts to Purchase Characters

4. Build Specific Buildings

- Character-Associated Buildings: Pay attention to buildings that are closely associated with certain characters in the TV show, as these are likely to unlock related characters upon completion.
5. Mystery Boxes and Prizes
- Mystery Boxes: These boxes, which can be purchased with Donuts or sometimes earned during events, offer a chance to win random items, including rare characters.
- Event Prizes: During large events, players can often earn prizes, including characters, by accumulating event-specific currency or completing event missions.
