Summer Update Guide/Summary

When you begin the game with the new update, head over to Homer and he will have a series of dialogue where he will eventually ask you to expand the areas into the beach then into the sea.

Much of the items in the game are locked by quests and you need to complete the quests in order to unlock these items. Since you cannot chose which quests to do we will begin from Homer asking to expand into the beaches and sea.

  • You will then be able to access the “Squidport Entrance” after you have expanded and by doing so you will unlock other items in the game.
  • You will learn how to build “boards”
  • You will be asked to build the Houseboat which will unlock the Sea Captain.
  • Upon completing that, you will need to do quests from the Sea Captain which will eventually unlock the The Itchy and Scratchy Store Building. This will unlock tons of other boardwalk items that were added into the game.

To obtain those boardwalk sections for you to build your boardwalk, you need to tap on the Squidport Entrance then make them. You get 1 Board per make.  And the price goes up each time with a maximum of 5000 cash per boardwalk section. It takes 24 hours to collect 1 boardwalk.

  • Lollmao

    I hate making the boardwalks they are slow and cost a lot and you only make one at a time!

  • Lisa

    Built the itchy and scratchy store. Nothing unlocked. All quests still dark. Not getting anywhere. Sea captain is free but no quests given to him. All at a standstill. Glitch?? What gives??

    • Jaandres81

      Dame happened to me. Take the itchy and scratchy store to the deposit and then put it again in the boardwalk, now, it will work and most of the ítems will be unlocked. It is maybe a program problem.

    • WChipman

      I had this problem too. I packed up the I&S store in the moving options and unpacked it at a new location when the Sea Captain was avaliable. This worked.

    • Carole

      Put the Itchy Scratchy store in storage, and then bring it back out. That will start the Sea Captain to speak, and start the next quest.

    • mikecg

      You HAVE to be patient. Try letting all of your characters walk around. Eventually one of them will talk to you. Slowly read what they are saying. The quests are in a specific order. You are probably missing one or two small things that are stopping you from moving on.

  • John

    It won’t let me start place the boat and earn the sea captain. I have built the entrance and nothing else happens. I’m on level 30 so that’s not the issue. I have tried to put the entrance in inventory to start the quest over but it won’t let me. I can build boards. Any ideas?

    • embii13

      I’m having the same problem! 3 updates later and I still only have the entrance and about 10 boards! Help!

  • paul

    I can’t access the squidport enrance and can’t get the boards either. Any ideas what to do?

  • repsej10

    Do I really have to use donuts to get a street performer at the the squidport Pt. 10?

  • Emily

    I need Bart’s tree house and it says I need to complete part 2 of this quest but it won’t tell me how?! I need help with that if any one knows how to do that please reply

    • Mike

      Maybe this will help. If not let me know. My biggest secret to getting things to
      open up is let everybody be free from tasks and eventually (pretty quick) they
      start recommending tasks.

      1. Lisa & Milhouse to school (6 hours) (Bart Crusoe Pt. 1)
      2. Build Bart’s Treehouse (Bart Crusoe Pt. 2) (Instant build)
      3. Bart skateboard (4 hours) (Bart Crusoe Pt. 3)
      4. Bart skip school (8 hours) (Keep Skinner free as Bart finishes) (Skipping Rocks)
      (DON’T DO THE BART/MILHOUSE 24 hour dual quest immediately. Wait!)

  • Greg

  • Joey
