| The Shifting Drifts
|
| Tapped Out Quest Information
|
The Shifting Drifts is an event-exclusive questline in The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It was introduced in the A Christmas Peril content update.
Dialogue
Pt. 1
| Between December 16, 2022 and January 11, 2023
|
|
All right, Milhouse. We've got the day off, so let's make sure we spend it well.
|
|
What did you have in mind?
|
|
|
Android's Dungeon, obviously.
|
|
|
Awesome!
|
|
Bart! If you're going out, take Lisa with you.
|
|
But Mom, Lisa's such a downer on snow days.
|
|
|
I know, but her pacing is going to make a rut in the carpet in her bedroom.
|
|
|
Fine. Milhouse, you're in charge of her.
|
|
Me? In charge of Lisa? *faints*
|
|
|
This day just keeps getting worse.
|
Task: "Collect Earmuffs" (x155).
If Bart is owned: Task: "Make Bart Go to Android's Dungeon". The job takes place at the Android's Dungeon or a Kwik-E-Mart and takes 4 hours.
Task: "Make Lisa Get Dragged to Android's Dungeon". The job takes place at the Android's Dungeon or a Kwik-E-Mart and takes 4 hours.
If Milhouse is owned: Task: "Make Milhouse Regain Consciousness". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 4 hours.
|
|
Whoa, what happened? Where are all the comics?
|
|
They have been returned to hermetically-sealed storage, where they cannot be damaged by wet, slushy hands.
|
|
And what's with all the mugs? And ugly mittens?
|
|
Welcome to The Android's Mittens & Mugs, where you can find a novelty mug or pair of mittens to match your greatest fantasies and desires.
|
|
|
Why would you do such a thing?
|
|
Someone has purchased this building and changed the terms of my lease, stipulating that I must sell tacky mugs and mittens. As well as my soul.
|
|
|
That's rough, dude.
|
|
|
So, unless you wish to purchase something overpriced or useless, I must ask you to vacate the premises.
|
Quest reward:  100 and  10
The Android's Mittens & Mugs
|
|
Pt. 2
| After completing Pt. 1
|
|
Hey, Bart, have you noticed that a lot of the stores around the city seem different today?
|
|
|
What do you mean?
|
|
Well, Android's Dungeon changing to a Mittens and Mugs shop was weird, but it's not the only one. The Krusty Burger seems to be more Christmassy than normal.
|
|
|
Come on, Lisa. That's just a seasonal thing. Like how it's "Krusty Murder" around Halloween.
|
|
|
Sure, the outside décor changes every year, but when was the last time it smelled like they were actually cooking meat in there?
|
|
|
Wait, what? *sniffs* That's weird. It smells…what's the word? …delicious!
|
Task: "Collect Earmuffs" (x155).
Task: "Make Lisa Investigate Businesses". The job takes place at Shops and takes 4 hours.
If Bart is owned: Task: "Make Bart Go to Krusty Burger". The job takes place at a Krusty Burger and takes 4 hours.
|
|
|
I don't know what's going on, but I hope it's permanent. This is the best Krusty Burger I've ever had.
|
|
While you were stuffing your face with dead animal meat, I found another ten businesses that have been bought out in the past few days.
|
|
|
So?
|
|
|
So, none of them know exactly who bought them but all of them are making changes to their business model.
|
|
|
So?
|
|
|
So, a mysterious figure who has enough money to buy up a bunch of businesses and make big changes just as a huge storm is about to hit town?
|
|
|
Well, when you put it like that…
|
|
|
…So?

Snowed-In Springfield Elementary
|
|
Pt. 3
| After completing Pt. 2
|
|
Although the Mayor has requisitioned additional funds, the city's snowplows won't be able to keep up with the deepening snow.
|
|
Thanks to Fat Tony for helping us – er, um – "requisition" with such a reasonable vig.
|
|
Nice city you have here. Shame if something happened to it.
|
|
|
I implore my fellow Springfielders: Who will step up and help dig out our streets as quickly and cheaply as humanly possible?
|
|
Quick and cheap? That's our cue!
|
|
Oh, Mr. Plow! After you're finished, keep your jacket on. I have another assignment for you upstairs. *winks*
|
|
I've still got my jacket, too.
|
|
No!
|
Task: "Collect Earmuffs" (x125).
If Mr. Plow is owned: Task: "Make Mr. Plow Plow the Streets". The job takes place at Mr. Plow's Plow or the Simpson House and takes 4 hours.

|
|
Aww, Homer. We can't keep up with all this snow.
|
|
Don't worry, Barney. I have a foolproof plan that'll fix everything.
|
|
|
Is it beer?
|
|
|
No, but that'll be Plan B.
|
|
Dad! I need your help!
|
|
|
Sorry, Lisa. Daddy's got to find his chainsaw. Have you tried asking your mother?
|
|
She locked herself in your room.
|
|
|
Come on, Barney. Let's get this done. I've got an appointment I can't miss.
|
|
|
You sure I can't help?
|
|
No!

Quest reward: 100 and 10

|
|
Pt. 4
| After completing Pt. 3
|
|
|
Okay, Bart. You're going to help me expose the person who's been buying up all the businesses in town.
|
|
Wait, you're coming to me for help?
|
|
I know it feels like admitting defeat, but yes.
|
|
Luckily for you, I've already figured out who it is.
|
|
Really?
|
|
You said it yourself: "A mysterious figure who has enough money to buy up a bunch of businesses and make big changes just as a huge storm is about to hit town."
|
|
You think it's Mr. Burns, don't you?
|
|
Of course. He's always behind stuff like this.
|
|
I really feel like I should have figured this out sooner.
|
|
Don't blame yourself. Quest writers need to pad these things out.
|
Task: "Collect Earmuffs" (x155).
Task: "Make Lisa Confront Mr. Burns". The job takes place at Burns Manor, the Control Building, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours.
If Bart is owned: Task: "Make Bart Keep His Gloating to a Minimum". The job takes place at Burns Manor, the Control Building, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours.
|
|
Sir, Homer Simpson's children are here to see you.
|
|
Why are you bothering me with this? Have you misplaced the hound-releasing button?
|
|
No, sir. But you'll remember that the last time we released the hounds on children, you had to do a month of community service at their orphanage. And then buy it.
|
|
What is the world coming to when you can't unleash attack beasts on any toddler you come across?
|
|
|
Very well, send them in. But only because it's Christmastime.
|

Ned's Plow Car

|
Pt. 5
| After completing Pt. 4
|
|
Mr. Burns, why are you buying up all the businesses in town?
|
|
Whatever do you mean? Smithers, have I been buying up businesses in my sleep again?
|
|
|
No, sir. Though I suspect she may be referring to your other problem du jour.
|
|
|
Stop speaking French! But I assume you mean the rascal who's trying to buy the power plant.
|
|
|
You're being bought out, too?
|
|
Heavens, no. I'll never sell.
|
|
|
So, who is this guy?
|
|
|
A devious old codger hell-bent on causing mischief and mayhem.
|
|
He sounds awful.
|
|
Yes, he's my type of businessman. Would you like to meet him?
|
|
He's here?
|
|
|
Yes. He wandered into one of the hall closets, thinking it was a bathroom.
|
Task: "Collect Earmuffs" (x195).
If Mr. Burns is owned: Task: "Make Burns Make Smithers Open Closet Doors". The job takes place at Burns Manor, the Control Building, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours.

|
|
Greetings and salutations!
|
|
It's that goofy guy from the Christmas movie Dad loves!
|
|
It's good to meet you! *extends hand to the coatrack* My name is Ebenezer McGrew.
|
|
|
This has to be a joke.
|
|
|
The only joke around here is how many times I had to pull the handle on that commode of yours.
|
|
*examines closet* That was an umbrella stand.
|
|
|
Listen you senile old coot, I want you out of my house!
|
|
|
Now, now, young man, I'm not leaving until I meet C. Montgomery Burns.
|
|
|
I'm C. Montgomery Burns!
|
|
|
You are? *blinks his eyes* So you are. Can I get your autograph?
|
|
|
Very well. If it will get you to leave… *signs*
|
|
Sir, no!
|
|
|
Thank you for your time!
|
|
|
Sir, that was a transfer of ownership!
|
|
|
What?
|
|
|
Oh, McGrew, you've done it again!
