When Gil shows up in town, he has something to sell you! Usually, it’s stuff that’s totally rad but freakin’ expensive. Worry not big sky fingers because I am here to help you make these crucial purchasing decisions! For only 4 days, you can acquire the beautiful castle of Equalia along with the first premium costume for Lisa! Almost 3 years in and the character that has been there from the very beginning is finally getting skin that pays premium! WOOHOO! As usual, let’s take a look at the pros and cons of adding this new content to your town, before you give poor ol’ Gil all of your donuts!

Pros:

You get 2 items in one purchase

Comes with a quest

Castle of Equalia earns $175 and 18 XP every 6 hours

Queen Helvetica costume earns at premium rate

Queen Helvetica has 2 visual tasks

Cons:

Lisa is needed for a lot of quests so a new costume for her isn’t the best option

Castle of Equalia is not animated unless in use

Castle is HUGE! Hard to place on the map

Juliet Hobbes is NOT part of this combo

For around 175 donuts, you could also get…

Open Air Stage 160

Springfield Sign 170 4.50%

So in the episode in which all this stuff came from, Lisa makes a friend called Juliet and together, they create this fantasy world where lives a Twonicorn. I would have prefered to get a whole new character rather than a costume for Lisa, since she is needed in most quests. It leaves very little opportunity for her to wear it once this questline is over. Plus, she already has a buttload of costumes!

The castle is animated in the sense that when in use, the flags are floating. The sound when you tap the castle is recycled from the Clash Of Clones event from when you’d tap one of the castle towers. Let’s just say that there is sound and animation for the heck of it because they are both sadly underwhelming.

From a designer’s standpoint, this castle could be a blessing! If you’re the kind of person who stocks up on limited time items and you have decorations in inventory from the Clash of Clones event, you could design something that looks pretty amazing!

Leave a comment and tell us if you will be adding the castle of Equalia to your Springfield. Those who did, any regrets?
