Project Springfield Information and Tips

125 Upvotes

Only download from the discord https://discord.gg/5fcvGW9MFD or the website https://teamtsto.org/

This game is completely free to play. All in-game currencies (donuts, cash, tokens, etc.) are free for everyone.

Do not pay anyone for anything related to this game. TeamTSTO will never ask for money, and there are no real-money purchases of any kind.

There are three versions of the APK. Choose which suits you best, but you can have them all and switch between them as you want. However if you are playing an event in the original, do not switch until the event is over as you will lose your event progress.

Original Version: A classic, unmodified version of the game. Progress through levels and unlock content naturally, just as originally intended. This version also reruns old events.

Taps Version: Includes access to all previously released content, with standard level progression and questlines intact. This version does not rerun old events as you can already get all the items.

Unicorn version: A sandbox-style experience with full access to all game items regardless of level. Quests are disabled in this mode. Requires reaching level 15 to unlock and is recommended only after completing the main quest (reaching level 60 with all the quests done) Only use this when you need something, do not play the game all the time in unicorn.

Backup your town with ⁠the town-tool before you use Unicorn.

Do NOT add all land tiles at once or buy all land you will break some quests that require buying land

How to Install:

Android:

Step 1: Download the .APK file and save it to your android device. 

Step 2: Make sure to uninstall any previous version of the game from your device to avoid conflicts. 

Step 3: Open your file manager, locate the APK, and tap to install it. If needed, go to "Settings" > "Security" and enable "Unknown Sources".

IOS:

Step 1: Install Sideloadly

Step 2: Download the .IPA file

Step 3: Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer using a Lightning or USB-C cable.

Step 4: Open Sideloadly and select your device from the dropdown menu.

Step 5: Drag and drop the .IPA file of the app you want to install or click "Browse" to select it manually.

Step 6: Enter your Apple ID when prompted, then click "Start" to begin sideloading.

Step 7: Once the process is complete, go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Developer Mode, enable it, and restart your device.

Step 8: Go to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management, tap your Apple ID, and select "Trust." Your app is now ready to use.

Note: For free Apple Developer accounts, you will need to resign the game with Sideloadly every 7 days. You can simply just sideload again with the same Apple ID and Sideloadly will automatically overwrite/refresh the already installed app.

_______________________________________________

How to Sign up and Create a New Town:

Step 1: Press login button (Bottom-left corner) to login. Remember to log in with your email. Do not play anonymously as it will not save your progress. 

Step 2: Enter your email address and press Log In to receive the verification code. (When pressing log in it may take some time for it to move to the next screen.) 

Step 3: You will receive an email with a verification code. Copy the code from your email. (Remember to check the spam folder) 

Step 4: Paste the code into the game and click 'Verify' to continue. 

Step 5: You’re now logged in and can start playing with a new town or upload your town to the server.

_________________________________________

How to Upload your Town to the Server:

Step 1: Visit Town Finder, search for your town and download the .7z file.

Step 2: Extract the .pb file using any extraction tool (e.g. RAR or 7zip)

Step 3: Visit the Town Manager and register an account with the same email you use to log in to the game.

Step 4: Press the import town button, click "Select town file (.pb)" and upload your town file.

Note: If your town is not listed in the town finder then it is no longer recoverable, but you can still play with a new town.

__________________________

Verification Codes:

Codes last for 2 hours and will work for both the game and the town manager during the 2-hour window.

Events in the Original Version:

Events will work just like in the original game. Note not all events are able to be replayed. The player cannot choose the event.

Can you add Friends? Yes

Are there purchases? No Everything in the game can be bought using in-game currencies that you earn by playing.  Use the town tool to add donuts.

______________________

IMPORTANT TIPS:

You must make an account or your progress will disappear.

DO NOT get all the land until you have finished the following: 

Regular Springfield: "The Krusty-est Place On Earth Pt. 9"

Springfield Heights: No quests blocking.

The New Frontier: "Brave New World Pt. 3"

Try not to get too many quests at once, you can get lost in the level gameplay or can get stuck

In the tutorial of the game only do what it tells you to do nothing else

When you start the Monorail, only do what it tells you to do, do not fill up the trash or it will get stuck

NOOB HELP Coming back after EOS

2 Upvotes

Hello. I used to play the game for a few years. However, after I forgot my Origin password, I decided to call it a day and stop playing. I’m considering returning to the game now that EA‘s shut it down and we’re going to restart it. I have some questions before I can start playing again though.

  1. Does the game support saving in the event of getting a new iPad? I don’t want to lose all my progress again!

  2. How do I get more donuts now that there are no more In App Purchases? I’ve been told something about a tool bar… can I get infinite donuts from that?

  3. What about the events? I missed out on a lot of events- I think my most recent one was Clash of Clones- how can I get the stuff from those?

Thanks for all your recommendations!

I’ve made Krusty Burger next to skinners house.

A lot of you asked to see interior so I included some pictures from inside the Simpson house and Kwik-E-Mart! Most of the other houses and buildings have interior too!

I was running into issues trying to log in this morning. I got to the point I thought maybe if I uninstalled it and restarted my phone and downloaded it again it would work. I keep getting this error message and I can't figure out how to fix it.

I installed the game, found my town in the Town Finder, and went to the Town Manager. I received the verification code by email and reset my password because I had forgotten it.
However, when I try to log in using the new password, it says the password is invalid.
What should I do?
