 ***It has also been stated that if you unlock a premium character, like the Squeaky Voice Teen, from a Mystery Box in Springfield while the character you unlock is already in the game and in Krustyland (or vice versa), you will get a second version of that character, instead of receiving {{Cash|Cash}} or {{Donut|Donuts}} in place of that prize. This glitch of not receiving the Cash/Donuts alternate seems to have originated upon the {{TOCU|Krustyland}} content update.<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/tappedout/comments/1mg46v/what_to_do_with_a_second_lemon_tree/ Reddit - Tapped Out - "What to do with a second Lemon Tree"]</ref>

 *'''Spooky House/Rigellian Tribal Hut/Portal to Rigel 7 money glitch''' - after the {{TOCU|Level 47}} update, the jobs for the Spooky House, Rigellian Tribal Hut and Portal to Rigel 7 changed and with that game a glitch whereby every time you exited the game and logged back in, the timers on the cash rewards on the three buildings/decorations would reset, offering their respective cash rewards every time. This also worked when going into Krustyland and back, and by going to the friends menu and back. This was fixed the following day, October 13, 2014, in an in-game update.
 *'''Writers Building money glitch''' - in a similar glitch to the above, after the {{TOCU|Level 48}} update, the Writers Building's task name changed, and with that came a glitch where upon exiting, going to Krustyland, or going to the friends menu and back, the cash timer would reset and offer cash each time.<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/tappedout/comments/2phcfk/cash_exploit_writers_building_glitch/ Reddit - Tapped Out - "Cash exploit: Writers Building glitch"]</ref> This exploit was disabled in the [[The Simpsons: Tapped Out Christmas 2014 content update#December 22 update (12.5MB; "v4_12_XMAS2014_Promos")|December 22, 2014 update]].
