Simpsons Defined - a building and decor guide

[mattperiolat]

Dog of Death Airdate: March 12, 1992. Episode #8F17

1st appearances: Sanjay, Springfield Animal Hospital, Veterinarian, Springfield Barber College, Springfield Dog Pound, Brockman House.

Kwick-E-Mart: Replace blue dumpster with green if you have the donuts. Line the left side of the brick wall to the left of the KEM with trees every other 4 square block.

Unless we get some new model trees, cannot do much redecorating at the Burns Estate. Brockman's House would be a cool addition to the game, but the problem would be determining use of the house, unless we need another money making shell. The rest of the buildings are pretty unrealistic to see in game, but who knows? On the other hand, Sanjay could come in to have another character with unique tasks at the KEM. And man, I would love the 14k King Homer skin featured on the episode. Never fails to make me laugh. All hail, King Homer!

Speaking of Homer skins, next time, we get the Colonel.

[mattperiolat]

Colonel Homer Airdate: March 26, 1992. Episode #8F19

1st appearances: Springfield Googolplex Theatres, Fertilizer Plant, Country Dump, Sulfur Mine, Bleed 'n' Brawl, Yodeling Zeke, Lurleen Lumpkin, Royal King Trailer Park, Lucky's Records, KUDD Radio, Corpulent Cowboy, Hicksville U.S.A. Recording Studio

Somehow, given the shortage of women in Springfield, even without her voice, I get the feeling there is a demand for Lurleen. Maybe for a level, we could get Lurleen, her trailer and either Lucky's Records or the Recording Studio so Homer can get the Colonel Homer skin. Alas, for now, it remains a dream. Much like fixing server issues, EA does not seem to like the fairer sex.

Next time, our favorite random town visiting villain makes a random season visit.

[mattperiolat]

Black Widower Airdate: April 9, 1992. Episode #8F20

1st appearances: Shelbyville Falls, Rolling Rock

While a fun episode, if you dig Sideshow Bob, there is just nothing here to add. No new stores, no new characters, only two or three locations, none of which are likely to make the game. Sorry, folks, but for our purposes, dull as dishwater was this episode.

Next time, it's The Otto Show!

[mattperiolat]

The Otto Show Airdate: April 23, 1992. Episode #8F21

1st appearances: Springfield Coliseum, Spinal Tap, Pylon. This episode also features Otto's Play Guitar task.

Springfield Coliseum is a really massive layout. You'll need two plots of land one on top of the other. Place the Coliseum at the top of the top most plot in the center of the plot. Lay cement covering both plots except for the line of squares in front of the doors to the Coliseum. On either side of the green stripe, place parking lots oriented up and down. I'm in the process of building up that part of my Springfield (yes, four months after Whacking Day and I'm still not done with the layout for it or the ballpark) so pictures are pending.



Springfield Elementary: At the corners of the intersection to the left of the school, place stop signs.



Unfortunately, until we get the DMV, there is no place for the Pylons as yet.

Given we are unlikely to get Spinal Tap in our Springfields, until we get the DMV, this is as good as it gets. And it is pretty darn good, I must say.

Next time, love comes to Springfield.

[Spiffshine]

If we chant loud and annoying enough... will EA give us the DMV already?

DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV! DMV!

Ok. I'm done with that...

[mattperiolat]

Howdy, folks! Sorry about not finishing last night, but was actually a little sick. I'm fine now, no worries, so let's finish season 3 and get to the good stuff, shall we?

Bart's Friend Falls in Love Airdate: May 7, 1992. Episode #8F22

1st appearances: Samantha Stanky, Ezekiel, Ishmael, Mr. Stanky, Kirk Van Houten, St. Sebastian's School for Wicked Girls. The episode also features Martin's Play the Lute task.

Springfield Elementary: Add three See-Saws oriented left to right. They may be placed close to the back of the building.

Wow, a female character! Even for a one off appearance, given the only other female student right now is Lisa. So, she will be coming soon, right, EA?

Eh, not so much apparently.

Next time, Herb Powell returns.

[mattperiolat]

Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes? Airdate: August 27, 1992. Episode #8F23

1st appearances: Bench ($595 model), Springfield Civic Center, Joe Frazier, The Seatery Furniture Store, Spinemaster 2000, Baby Translator

The Bench was seen outside of Springfield in this episode, so I'll keep my eyes open for if and when the model appear in town.

First off, no, the date is not wrong. Fox was experimenting with holding episodes of certain series like The Simpsons over to play toward the end of summer to give a stronger lead into the next season's premiere. Second, there may be some confusion over the Springfield Civic Center and the Springfield Convention Center. I do not know for certain if they are two separate buildings or not, I believe they are, but right now, I cannot prove it. Right now, it's irrelevant given neither is in game, but it is a puzzle.

Realistically, I really hope, even if he is not voiced, we get Herb Powell in game. A bum skin for job tasks would be fine, but to get him and The Homer and the Baby Translator would be cool.

And that wraps up Season 3 of The Simpsons. We added four buildings to our growing downtown Springfield (Butterfat's, King Toot's, the Social Club and the Library) and a new eatery to our outskirts with the Gulp 'n' Blow. Lots of sites got some new decorations added and we will keep refining them over time. But truly, next season is the big one, when everything is going to change. We have two holdover episodes from Season 3 and then after that, Klasky-Cuspo is done and Film Roman will take over. Once that happens, the look of the show will finally begin to match more. That is truly when my eyeballs will start to fry as I pick up details, but for me, as long as everyone is having fun, making their towns and earning the in-game cash as their Conformity Meters climb, then it is all worth it to me.

Next time, we start Season 4. And let me tell you, I've been to Beriut, I've been to Iraq, I've even been to the Rolling Stones and I have never seen the sight we are about to see.

[mattperiolat]

Who is ready for more?

Season 4

Kamp Krusty Airdate: September 24, 1992. Episode #8F24

1st appearances: Kamp Krusy, Totem Pole, Starving Bear Weight Loss Center, Kamp Bart. This episode also features Kamp Bart's Take Over Kamp Krusty, Go on a Rampage and Burn Krusty Effigy tasks.

Kamp Krusty is supposed to be on an Indian burial ground. Unfortunately, we do not have that nor Mt. Avalanche in the game, so I suggest placing the Kamp (if you have the 200 donuts) in the top left corner of the map. Since Springfield is going to move to the right as we build, it stands to reason the top left is our "frontier". Place a road running left to right about four squares down of the Kamp and run a road up to the entrance. Place pine trees around the back and sides in insulate the Kamp. If you have Springfield Falls, the Kamp fits well next to it. Unfortunately, unless and until we get the Totem Pole, that is the best we can do for right now.



We got the namesake of the episode in game and there is supposed to be more, but who knows if we will ever get it. More's the pity for the classic episode.

Next time, The Simpsons offend New Orleans.

[mattperiolat]

A Streetcar Named Marge Airdate: October 1, 1992. Episode #8F18

Long before the Superdome
where the Saints of football play
Lived a city that the damned called home
hear their hellish rondelet

1st appearances: Springfield Community Center, Llewellyn Sinclair, Ayn Rand School for Tots

Springfield Community Center will get a better look in a season or so, so for now, orient with the doors facing a left-right running street. The map suggests somewhere close to the Church, but I leave that to you all. Assuming you have the donuts.



I have seen on these boards and elsewhere an argument for adding Maggie to the game as a playable character. I will admit I am not a fan of the idea since a.) her list would be very short and b.) Ralph is already a difficult character to spot as are the other kids. You want a character SMALLER than that roaming around? Ugh. Not fun. Now, all that being said, the Ayn Rand School for Tots would probably be the most likely building to bring Maggie and/or Gerald into the game. Not saying it will happen, just that there is an option to do so if EA wants to.

Next time, a new day dawns as we listen to the Gospel according to Homer Simpson.

"Here's where the fun begins.", Han Solo, Star Wars

Homer the Heretic Airdate: October 8, 1992. Episode # 9F01

1st appearances: God, Springfield Harbor, Jamshed, Fire Truck. It can be inferred that this episode has Apu's Pray to Ganesha task featured as well.

And our first candidate for the Film Roman remodel is...

Springfield Church: Measure out a space 8 squares in length from the left wall of the Church and two squares further than the back of the Church. Also measure out a space four squares in length away from the right wall of the Church. Surround the new edges of the property with a fence of hedges and lay the area around and under the Church with cement. Place a row of Parking Lots angled in opposition to the wall of the Church two squares distance from the Church's left wall all the way toward the back of the Church. Skip two more squares to the left and repeat, placing another row of lots. Finally to the right of the Church, place another lot row. The look may change slightly, as my current photo is based off a later model, but we will start here with a baseline.



Well, the new look of the show starts of with a bang. I don't know how many large scale projects are ahead, but I believe with this layout, the Church is behind only the School and Burns Manor for space. If you can afford it and you have the desire, it can look quite nice when you are finished.

Next time, Lisa is... Honey Boo-Boo?

[mattperiolat]

Lisa the Beauty Queen Airdate: October 15, 1992. Episode #9F02

1st appearances: Duff Blimp, Amber Dempsey, Turn Your Head and Coif, Pahasarita Nahasapeemapetilon, Shøp, Springfield Wax Museum, Parking Meter, Fort Springfield, Bob Hope, Laramie Jrs. Parade Float, Menthol Moose, Hardware Shop

Amazing timing, given Springfield Wax Museum was just added to the game last Thursday. To be honest, I have not started building mine yet, but plan on starting it in the morning. As soon as it is completed on Monday, the photo will be added. In the meantime, I suggest facing a left to right running street near downtown Springfield since it is clearly wedged between other brick facade buildings. Word on the street is the Parking Meter can now be placed on the sidewalk, so add three of them running parallel to the front of the building facing down.

Now, EA, how about putting the lamp posts and stop signs on the sidewalk too, huh?

Next time, a trip back to the treehouse.

[mattperiolat]

This post will be an experiment with new picture formatting and could lead to character and job task photos going forward. Please leave feedback.

I'm dreading the reviews, I can tell you that. - Burns, King Homer, Treehouse of Horror III

Treehouse of Horror III Airdate: October 29, 1992. Episode #9F04.

1st Appearances: House of Evil, Talking Krusty Doll, Bottomless Pit, Krusty Co. Repairman, King Homer, Dinosaur, Springfield Pet Cemetery, Mausoleum, Zombies. The episode also includes what may be a reference for the Lisa Statue of Liberty and does have Martin's Trick or Treat task. Louis is seen wearing a Frankenstein's Monster costume which may have been co-opted for Bart's Trick or Treat task.

Lisa Statue of Liberty: And let debate commence. I have not seen Lisa as the Statue of Liberty anywhere else in the series so far, so it would appear it would originate here. The real fun is, since we have no root, placement is difficult. I have just left mine on the edge of my Squidport until I can think of something else. Up to you on this one.



House of Evil: Here is where flexible reality works to our advantage. If you have the building, of course. It is seen wedged between two brick facade buildings, including what appears to be a Bank on the right. Since we do not have a Bank in game, as yet, any brick facade buildings will do. I have been amazingly liberal with House of Evil, moving it all around my town. Currently, it is one of the buildings next to the future home of my Wax Museum, but I have also had it next to the Android's Dungeon and The Aztec. This one, it is up to you. Go nuts.



Talking Krusty Doll:

Springfield Cemetery can either be shifted to the outskirts of town to the right of the Simpsons House or all the way down toward the bottom of town. I personally prefer going to the south and have it down there, right next to the water. Mausoleum, if you have it, can go to the right of the Cemetery, aligned with the back wall.

Springfield Pet Cemetery can be placed to the right of the Cemetery, facing down toward the road in front. Make sure the front walls of the two Cemeteries are lined up.



It is amazing how much this one episode contributed to existing Springfields. The unfortunate part is a lot of people missed out on the decors, especially on Androids. I do not know, but I sincerely hope we get another zombie invasion in October and those who missed them last year get another bite at the apple. Me? I would not mind the Maus or the Cauldron.

Next time, it's the Aztec's turn for a makeover.

[mattperiolat]

Sorry about the single post yesterday, just life got busy. Let's get back to work, shall we?

Itchy and Scratchy: The Movie Airdate: November 2, 1992. Episode #9F03

1st appearances: Arthur, Bumblebee Man, Ice Cream Truck, Itchy and Scratch Billboard, Mr. Paul, Middle Earth, Art Store, Books Inc., Slide, Springfield Barber College Billboard. The episode also features Bumblebee Man's Acto en Show El Channel Ocho task.

The episode shows a small park behind the Kwick-E-Mart, but nothing defined, so it can be free formed in terms of size and detail. Just surround the perimeter with Chain Fence and place a tree near the back center and you're done.

Bumblebee Man:

Aztec Theater does not require much for the remodel. Just make sure it maintains it's corner location on the right side of the block. The episode also shows it opposite of Moe's, but since the buildings cannot rotate that way, place the theater across the street from Moe's on it's own block. Since the street running alongside the Aztec angles up and then toward the Simpsons, makes sense to put Moe's on the same lengthways street as the Simpsons House.



Gee, the naming crew on The Simpsons took this week off. That being said, the episode is not as drastic as some and does leave some options.

Next time, sexual harassment panda.

[mattperiolat]

Marge Gets a Job Airdate: November 5, 1992. Episode #9F05.

1st appearances: Surly Joe's Foundation Repair Truck, Surly Joe, The Spruce Caboose, Jack Marley, Tom Jones, KrustyLu Studios, Alaskan Timber Wolf, I Can't Believe It's Not A Law Firm! (Mall location), Origami Designs (Mall location), Band Shell.

KrustyLu Studios is a different model than in game and there is absolutely no way to distinguish placement in game, so I think I am going to hold off for a bit on this one. If you must place and cannot wait, just make sure a street is running in front and you have room to expand.

I do not care for this episode, I just think it's a little dull quite frankly. Really, the only thing from this one that we MIGHT get would be The Spruce Caboose. I know we all want Hutz and the law firm, but with it being indoors and Hurtz being an enormous maybe because of Phil Hartman, I would not count on it.

Next time, more women folk not in our Springfields.

[mattperiolat]

Son, women are like... refrigerators. They're six feet tall and weigh 300 pounds. - Homer, New Kid on the Block, offering up a definition of women that EA appears to agree with.

Sometimes, it's too easy.

New Kid on the Block Airdate: November 12, 1992. Episode #9F06.

1st appearances: Captain MacAllister, Mrs. Winfield, Kiddie Pool, Laura Powers, Clumsy Student Movers Truck, Ruth Powes, Abbie, Abbie's Sister, Two Guys from Kabul, The Frying Dutchman, Springfield Court House.

Brown House: Place two long shrubs next to the fence closest to the Simpsons. Depending on the size of your yard, you can add three more single square shrubs toward the back of the fence on the left side. Run a brown fence line across the back of the Brown House property, keeping it in line with the line established by the Simpsons and Flanders. One square to the right of the right wall of the house, run either a brown or white fence line down to the street, depending on what you have for donuts or from Mystery Boxes. Place a single square hedge even with the middle of the Brown House against the right side fence.





Kiddie Pool: Place in the front yard of the Simpsons House. I have a small gap on the left side next to the Flanders where mine is, but it is up to you. Just be sure the pool is oriented so when Homer is using it in his task, his feet face down.



Captain MacAllister:

Tell a Tall Tale task:

The Frying Dutchman: EA has gone and made this one hard since it can only be placed on Squidport land. It needs to face down toward the "street". I have mine placed right next to the Squidport entrance as a compromise for looks.



EA takes and gives away with this episode. We have the Dutchman, but cannot place it on land where it fits based on this episode. There are two female characters that, even without voices, would fit in wonderfully in the town with Laura and Ruth. And yet, we are denied. And then there's the Court House, which we don't have yet, but don't cry, we got a STATUE. Sorry if I sound bitter, I love the game, but these are really silly things that should be in game by now.

Next time, mattperiolat brings the bitter.

[mattperiolat]

Mr. Plow Airdate: November 19, 1992. Episode #9F07.

1st appearances: Repo Depot truck, Total Disaster Insurance claim manager, Crazy Vaclav's Palace of Automobiles, Crazy Vaclav, Batmobile, Adam West, Plow, Homer - Mr. Plow skin and assorted tasks, Lullaby$, Barney - Baby skin, Plow King truck, Barney - Plow King skin, Linda Ronstadt, McMahon and Tate Advertising Agency, Widow's Peak, Mountain Goat, Melting Snowmen.

Although this is not his first appearance, this is the first appearance of Arnie Pye since he was added to the game, so if you are playing along at home, have the donuts and can tolerate the most annoying cackle in history, now would be a good time to add him in.

Every fisherman has a story. No matter how big a fish they have caught and line the walls, there is always the one that got away. Homer's Mr. Plow skin is my fish story. I was in recovery from the harpies and had no idea there was new content (these were the halcyon days before I discovered the EA forums and Wikisimpsons.net). So, Mr. Plow is one of the very few things I do not have. Those that have him I am sure love him since the episode is such a classic, but meanwhile, I sit and wait for the snow to return, in the hope that EA will bring him back for one last drive.

...

I get so lonely...

We may yet get Plow King and his plow since it would be a great companion piece for Mr. Plow. Widow's Peak would be a cool set piece as well. And just to give Barney something else to do, Lullaby$ and the Baby skin would be cool too.

Next time, maybe she'd talk more if the voices were not so dad blamed expensive.

[mattperiolat]

Lisa's First Word Airdate: December 3, 1992. Episode #9F08

1st appearances: Chipwhich Salesman, Simpsons Apartment Building, Stinking Fish Realty, Real Estate Salesman, Rat's Nest House, Rat's Nest White House, Rendering Plant, Houseboat, Rat's Nest Pink House, Clown Bed, Grandma Flanders.

Houseboat: Place on the open left side of your Squidport oriented long side down. Run three Squidport tiles along the down side.



Krusty Burger: Run a street left to right and place the Krusty Burger on the upward facing side of the street. Place cement squares on the open sides of the building and place parking lots on the upward and right sides of the cement squares. Next to the right side parking lots, run a chain fence running from the street to the top of the property line. From the top corner of the chain fence, run a brick fence left to the top left corner of the property. Finally, place shrubs on the right side of the chain fence. The photo is from a later episode design, but should give you some ideas.



I love this episode, it is one of my favorites, as are most of the flashbacks. I don't know if we will see any other buildings from the episode in game, although it would be cool if we could get new housing models to define neighborhoods in our Springfields. And deep down, I kind of want the Clown Bed, even if I cannot put it in the house. It is just such an iconic moment in the episode.

Next time, Homer's ticker is on it's last tock.

[mattperiolat]

Sorry for the brief pause today, folks. Had a nasty thunderstorm roll through this afternoon that took out power for a few minutes and kept me off the 'net and blu-ray player out of paranoia over another failure. Since I am a strong believer in people getting what they expect, I'll pull a late shift and get a few more episodes up tonight before bed.

Bottom line, we're fine here, thanks. Be back at it momentarily.

[lynstace]

Glad all is ok! Lots of severe storms here in Texas too. Thanks for all the info you provide Matt periolat!

[mattperiolat]

Homer's Triple Bypass Airdate: December 17, 1992. Episode # 9F09.

1st appearances: Springfield Drive-In, Lovejoy House, Birthplace of Edgar Allen Poe Truck, Gasso Station, Gasso Attendant, Billy, Merry Widow Insurance Company, Medical Library. The episode also features Dr. Nicks's Promote Bargain Medical Practice and Perform Surgery tasks. While not their first appearance in the show, this is the first episode where we see Lou and Eddie since they were added into the game.

Aside from seeing the Ambulance next to the Hospital (I recommend placing two cement squares next to the Emergency bay and placing the Ambulance there), there is nothing in the episode in the game. I'd like to see the Lovejoy House, which we may someday. But if they were to add the Drive-In and Gasso Station, what would the game's 3D model makers have to do? Just kidding.



Next time... you know, I think there is something in this episode we all want, it's just not coming to me.

[mattperiolat]

Marge vs. the Monorail Airdate: January 14, 1993. Episode #9F10.

1st appearances: Springfield Park, Mutant Tree, Mutant Chipmunk, Agent Malone, Toupee Town, Hairless Clinic, Bail Bonds, Chinese Smorgasbord, Videos of Springfield, Swampy's Liquor, Pizza on a Stick, Palais of Donuts, Popcorn Truck, Lyle Lanley, Lanley Monorails Trailer, Sebastian Kobb, Springfield Central Monorail Station, Dash Calhoun, Kyle Darren, Leonard Nimoy, Taxi, Monorail, Homer - Monorail Conductor skin, Springfield's Oldest Tree, Birthplace of Jebediah Springfield, Ye Olde Anchor Shoppe, Donuts, Popsicle Stick Skyscraper, 50 Ft. Magnifying Glass, Escalator to Nowhere.

"Homer, I've found someone who can help you."
"Batman?"
"He's a scientist."
"Batman is a scientist."
"It's not Batman!" - mattperiolat's favorite lines from The Simpsons.

I've been asked a few times why in the world would I even try to attempt a builder's guide to an episode matching Springfield. May I present my exhibit A. This episode literally inspired me to do it, especially the overhead shot at the end. But, first things first.

Springfield Park will be more defined over the course of the series. For now, a free form park with trees and shrubs will suffice. If you have a gazebo, it can be placed in the middle, although THE gazebo will not be seen until later. I recommend placing the Park near the top of the map next to the river.

Springfield Town Hall gets it's long overdue make over. Make sure the entrance is facing left and run a street in front of the building. Place a $385 tree next to the upper left hand corner of the building.

Donuts is a very rough prototype for Lard Lad, just misses the iconic eyesore in front. But, we will get to that later.

And now, if you have the money, what we have all been waiting for.

50 Ft. Magnifying Glass: Place behind Town Hall with a street between the Hall and the Glass. Run a street or make sure a street is on the downward facing side of the Glass. Also be sure the beam of light from the glass is going upwards toward the top of the map. Place parking lots upwards of the building to complete. If you wish, Springfield Elementary can be placed on the downward side of the Glass, but that is up to you.



Popsicle Stick Skyscraper: Place the Skyscraper in the center of a plot where the beam from the Glass is pointing. Make sure the sway of the building goes from left to right for orientation. Fill in the rest of the plot with cement.



Escalator to Nowhere: This is where placing buildings and streets at the bottom edges of plots can come in real handy. The Escalator should be slightly upwards of the duo combo of the Skyscraper and the Glass with the Escalator running left to right. This is because we see the Skyscraper and Glass behind the Escalator in the pan out at the end. The episode features the people dropping off towards camera, but since we cannot turn the Escalator 360 degrees, this is the best we are able to do for now.



Folks, this, in addition to needing the break, is why I took some time off a few weeks ago. I needed time to finish the builds of the million dollar items and figure out placement just to try and get it right. Even now, it is not perfect in my town, but it's getting there. Now, obviously, I cannot convince anyone to spend this kind of money on glorified decorations, but would it be Springfield without them? To me, no, it's not. And besides, it is a great tribute to a classic.

And after all this, I think it is safe to say we all still want Lyle Lanley and the Monorail in our towns. Everything else in the episode is really secondary to those, although the Trailer could be included to give us Lyle and the Monorail could give us Homer's skin. I personally also want Sebastian Kobb since he can be voiced and it is a great character design. I honestly have no clue if we will ever see them in the game, but brother, would they make wonderful additions.

Next time, Lisa is the lizard queen.

[mattperiolat]

Duff Gardens, hurrah! - Homer, Selma's Choice

Selma's Choice Airdate: January 21, 1993. Episode #9F11.

1st appearances: Duff Gardens, Whiplash, Washing Machine, Beerquarium, Buzzing Sign Diner, Lucky Stiff Funeral Home, Jub Jub, Princess Opal (Mall store), Squeaky Voiced Teen (different model), Selma's Car, Contusion, Springfield Sperm Bank, Duff Beeramid, Tipsy, Queasy, Surley, Remorseful, Beer Hall of Presidents, Souveniers, Little Land of Duff, Complaints Booth, Duff Light Parade, Barrel Roll, Security Shack, Lisa - Lizard Queen skin.

We do get a prototype for the Squeaky Voiced Teen in the episode, but the model is not there yet. Going to hold off for a bit on featuring his photo until we get there.

I think we'd all love Duff Gardens in game, but the problem is now with Krustyland up and running, not much point. Maybe we will get lucky and Little Land of Duff will be a premium with a new skin for Lisa. The Complaints Booth would be good too and I know people were hoping for Surley among the mascots. Maybe we will get them yet. Other than that, the only maybe addition from the episode would be Jub Jub and we need Parry and Selma first. At this point, we may get the crash bug fixed before we get them.

Next time, Trab Pu Kicp.

[mattperiolat]

Brother from the Same Planet February 4, 1993. Episode #9F12.

1st appearances: Soccer Field, Bigger Brothers Agency, Tom, Springfield Communist Party Recruiter, Pepi, Lawn Chair, Marine World, Springfield Antiques, Hailstone's, Phil's Gas, Fire Hydrant.

If you want, you can place two Lawn Chairs in the Simpsons backyard, but it is optional and you may end up with Brockman sunning himself in the yard.

The episode also locates Krusty Burger near Springfield Mall, so you may want to move yours or build a fresh one to the right of the Simpsons House.

Hailstone's and Springfield Antiques we may get in the future just to flesh out our towns. The Soccer Field would be nice and maybe add skins, but what would our free form designers do? And then there is Marine World. I'm hoping it is coming soon, especially based on future tie ins to other episodes. But we will see.

Next time, you choo-choo-choose me?

[mattperiolat]

I Love Lisa Airdate: February 11, 1993. Episode #9F13.

1st Appearances: I Choo-Choo-Choose You Train, Lunch Lady Doris, Rex, Sideshow Raheem. It can be inferred that this episode introduces Ralph's Eat a Crayon Sandwich task as well.

If you have the I Choo-Choo-Choose You Train, I have found the best place for it is the Wiggum House backyard. We have not seen the house in an episode yet, but here's a sneak preview.

The only other thing from the episode that we have not seen yet that we may get in game is Lunch Lady Doris. If she is added, she will not be voiced as a.) she was not voiced by a regular and b.) her original voice Doris Glau died some time ago. Others have filled in recently, but none of them are regulars.

Next time, we've had enough of that wonderful Duff.

Homer the Heretic Airdate: October 8, 1992. Episode # 9F01

1st appearances: God...

Oh, if only God were a playable character! Get on that, EA!

---

Oh boy, I missed a lot while I was out of town! Sorry to hear you were sick, glad you are better, darned thunderstorms, and lastly... LOVE the character shots, the brown house transparency (you really are a stickler for detail!), and all the other touches you have added. Damn good work, mattperiolat!
