Homer collecting XP after placing Bart's Treehouse in the third cutscene.

Experience or XP (Experience) is a way of rewarding players for their progress and evolution in-game. Purchasing buildings, decorations, completing quests and unlocking characters are all possible ways to earn experience. When enough experience is obtained, the player moves onto a new level and the experience bar is reset.

Levels are certain tiers of experience that, when achieved, unlock new content such as buildings, decorations, and quests, as well as certain jobs. The player is also rewarded with Donut(s), as well as a comment or quote from a character, usually directed at the player.

The table below provides information on each level. As of May 18, 2016, the level-up system was revamped. A total of 939 levels were made available. Level 60 became the top level where new content is unlocked. Additionally, it became the last level where level-up screens are the same for every player; beyond that point level up quotes are randomly selected from a limited amount.The new levels where no new content is unlocked, got a severe drop in the amount of experience needed to progress. Levels 61 to 100 require 40,000 each; levels 101 to 939 require 500,000 each. The bonus levels that were traditionally associated with the top level now require only 1,000,000 each instead of increasing by 20% until 10,000,000 was reached.

With the release of the Treehouse of Horror XXVII Event, several levels got a reduction on the amount of XP needed to level-up. The main item of most levels which usually unlock the character for that level got a reduction in price as well as in building time. Levels 53 to 60 loss the multiplier that increased items costs as well as amount of XP needed.
