To do: There are a variety of unused controller configurations located in the "basic_player.cec" file in the "simpsons_chars" stream folder (some notable ones are FreeLook, JumpKick, HOG_ActOfKindness, MTP_gemCatcher, Sprint, HomerEat, and SpecialModelSwap). Document them and try to see if any of these can be reenabled in-game. Various unused models, specifically with populated renders Tons of unused functions within the game's executable. Use this as a reference. See if there's any unused animations for characters. Unused sound effects, atleast when their filenames can be extracted.

The Simpsons Game is what you get when you make a Simpsons game with every game genre.

It's notable for being almost entirely conceived and written by actual members of The Simpsons team, making it as authentic of, well, a Simpsons game as possible. It also has over 40 minutes of unique animated cutscenes that almost act as an entire extra-long episode together.

Also, every version of the game has slightly different front box art.

Bugs

Making-of Movie Three parts of a Making-of movie were planned, none of which made the final cut.

Unused Text "Although I wasn't able to cut everyone I wanted to, I have cut a lot of you."

Unused Voicelines "Worst voicelines ever."

Differences between Old-Gen and New-Gen Comparisons between the PS2/PSP/Wii versions ("Old-Gen") and PS3/360 versions ("New-Gen").

Oddities Odd things spotted in the game.

Debug Replay

To do: See if there's a way to add or bring back the Debug Replay button like in OldGen. These codes are raw memory offsets as I currently have no knowledge on any potential PS3/X360 cheat device and how it may work! --Edness

Debug Replay menu on PlayStation 3

Debug Replay menu on Xbox 360

There is a hidden menu internally called DebugReplay. It can be accessed in both the Old Generation release as well as here.

(Source: Edness)

One slight difference, however, is that currently there is no way to add the Debug Replay button on the main menu in this release. Instead, these codes will replace the regular Episodes & Challenges menu with Debug Replay.

Unused Models

To do: Get populated/textured renders.

Bartman Begins

Space Gas Station

This model was intended to be used inside the planetarium after getting across the planet displays. There would of been a button on the gas station to drop down a ladder for Homer to climb up and balance the satellite (which would function like a fulcrum) for Bart to reach Jimbo. This model is also fully used in the Old-Gen version.

Zap Kiosk Button

A button intended to be stepped on by Homer on the "Zap the Past" kiosks.

The Day of the Dolphin

Power Button

A power button to turn on something, likely in the pier area of the episode.

Invasion of the Yokel-Snatchers

Brown Truck

A brown truck, similar to the delivery truck seen at the beginning of the episode. This truck model can also be seen fully in the Old-Gen version.

Grand Theft Scratchy

Politician Statue

A crude statue of a politician (likely Hillary Clinton, who is seen in Mob Rules and Grand Theft Scratchy).

Big Super Happy Fun Fun Game

Japanese Vending Machine

A Japanese vending machine which would of spawned out food for Homer to eat. This model is fully used in the Old-Gen version.

Game Over

Cloud Bridge Piece

A straight piece intended for a cloud bridge puzzle using the Hand of Buddha.

Unused Graphics

Downloadable Content

This game was planned to have DLC expansions. There is a button in the menu that would be used for DLC, but it never ended up being used. Frontend.str contains textures that were meant to be used for said DLC.

Only Marge has a powerup icon in-game, but Bart and Homer have graphics for powerup icons that go unused.

• 

  HomerPowerupIcon, HomerPowerupIconGlow

• 

  BartPowerupIcon, BartPowerupIconGlow

Icons for the ammo Bart collects during episodes, which were meant for the scrapped special ammo mechanic, where collecting ammo would increase the range and damage. The internal name of each type is as follows:

• specialAmmoGrenade
• specialAmmoGeode
• specialAmmoGoldCoin
• specialAmmoBaseball

These icons are still used in the Old-Gen version to represent Bart's stronger ammo. Notably, two unused ammo types, a Cork and an Egg, are present among the icons but do not appear in game.

• 

  BartHud

A counter icon for an alien, likely meant for the Time Challenge for Invasion of the Yokel-Snatchers.

• 

  counterIconAlien

An icon for a Wood Chipper, likely meant for something related to Lisa the Treehugger.

  moh_missionaccomplished

This graphic would have likely been seen somewhere on Mr. Burns' aircraft carrier and references George W. Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech.

80b_supermeatball

In certain episodes where Homer is playable, there is a leftover alternate texture for the Super Meatball from "Around the World in 80 Bites." This was likely intended for a cut meatball food pickup, which still has a model present in the game files.

Unused Level Data

To do: Go through more levels, and recheck I didn't miss anything (i most likely did) I've created most of these subheadings just to catalogue what's in each level. I need to go through and investigate/write up each one. - nebula

The Land of Chocolate

Unused 3rd Cookie Platform

To do: * `startcookie01`, `startcookie02`, `startcookie03` 3 PingPongPlatforms are in the level data, each started with the above events. However `runcake_action` calls `startcookie01_continue` instead, so nothing happens (i think).

Around the World in 80 Bites

Pre-China Area

To do: Also document `aud_player_entered_china_01` trigger

Cut First Area

Behind the door in the starting area, there is navigation graph data for a cut area. No level geometry remains.

Bartman Begins

Disabled Bart Pickup

To do: Unused `VariableCollectible` next to box at start of map.

Sciencolgy Platform

To do: *ScriptableProp using unused model. Switch that calls `lower_sciencolgy_ladder` Associated ExecuteVFX, PlaySound, LadderSurface, NodeController. MultiManager that listens to `lower_sciencolgy_ladder` and calls `aud_play_sound_ladderdown` after 0.5s, `sciencology_ladder_down` after 1s, `deactivate_sciencoloy_ladder_node` after 1s, `spawn_lc_sciencolgy_room` after 2s. Room is generally called "science room". Door to room is opened with `open_sciencology_door`.

Lisa the Tree Hugger

Teleport

To do: 'teleporttocog' trigger behind gate at start of level. Needs more investigating, but fairly certain the actual teleport object has been removed, just leaving the trigger.

Third Toxic Waste Barrel

To do: *Disabled `HoGPuzzleObject` for a barrel that's used to blow up the dispenser - only two out of three are enabled. There's also the associated `HandOfGodTrigger` for where it normally spawns, but no trigger on the dispenser.

Mob Rules

To do: *Investigate disabled MultiManagers for `iMsgPlayerMargeTutorialTargetLocked` and `iMsgPlayerMargeTutorialTargetUnlocked` Disabled ExecuteVFX, Attacher EnterExitTrigger for thought bubbles around collectibles?

Enter the Cheatrix

Unused Zones

Zone 3

Labeled as Zone 3 of Enter the Cheatrix. This zone only uses the simpsons_palette texture, and generally looks very unfinished. There is no ceiling mesh, so either there would have been a fixed camera angle or the mesh was never finished. From the fact that it uses no textures, we can assume that it was cut very early into Cheatrix's life, or was never intended for the final game at all.

Zone 4

Labeled as Zone 4 of Enter the Cheatrix. Only uses the simpsons_palette texture, bar from 3 pipes. At the top section, next to the green pipe, the wall covers a small corridor leading out, so this was presumably the exit to this zone. There is a movable bridge in the middle, leading to sign saying "POWER BOOST" and "OFF".

According to a level designer, these areas were cut because the episode felt too long. Zone 3 didn’t contribute anything new, and mainly repeated gameplay ideas already seen in other zones and didn’t offer any unique or memorable moments. Zone 4 was planned as a battle arena where enemies would spawn infinitely, and players would need to defeat them while figuring out how to shut down the spawners. This area could have been used to extend the level’s length if more substantial cuts had been made elsewhere, to ensure the episode didn’t feel too short. In the end, though, it wasn’t needed, so it was removed.

Shadow of the Colossal Donut

To do: Investigate `restart_level` ScriptedSequences

Unused Lard Lad Trigger

To do: Disabled EnterExitTrigger out of bounds that calls `lard_lad_enter_trigger` and `lard_lad_exit_trigger`

Unused Updraft

To do: Disabled Updraft object out of bounds

Unused Switch

To do: Disabled switch out of bounds that calls `msg_begin_hatch_destruction` / `destroy_hatch` / `destroy_wiring` - debugging tool to progress through the fight stages?

Grand Theft Scratchy

To do: LOADS of disabled FuncSpawns. Some will be enabled and used by other things, but others are definitely unused.

Politician Statue

To do: Two disabled FuncSpawns called with `gts_spawn_politician_statue` Three MultiManagers that handle `gts_spawn_politician_statue_mm` and all their related events VariableOperators for `gts_set_polit_stat_var_backtozero` and `gts_politician_statue_inc_var` VariableWatcher that calls `gts_spawn_politician_statue_mm` when a variable has the value of 16 ScriptableProp of unused politician statue model under Maude's Hot Coffee sign SendScoreEvent for `gts_politician_statue_inc_var` Counter for `gts_spawn_politician_statue` and `gts_show_score_event_counter` (I think this might be the actual house counter that's used in game?)

Extra Pier

To do: Disabled ScriptableProp of a different ice bridge pier

Jumping Speedboats

To do: *Disabled ScriptableProps of speedboats jumping over the start to Poochie's island GraphMoverControllers for `gts_bt5_go_to_third_pos`, `gts_bt5_go_to_second_pos`, `gts_bt_4_go_here_now`, `gts_bt4_go_to_third_pos`, `gts_bt4_go_to_second_pos`, `gts_bt_4_go_here_now`

Buddha Hand Objects

To do: *Disabled HoGPuzzleObject of a car on cinderblocks next to billboard Five pieces of ice stored out of bounds - pieces of an ice bridge before they introduced the freeze ability?

Unused Zones

Zone 2

Labelled as Zone 2. This would have come right after the outside lawyer fight.

Zone 3

Labelled as Zone 3. This would have come right after Zone 2. The design of this zone is very reminiscent of the Old-Gen and DS versions of this episode. The player starts in the bottom right, somehow crosses a gap, makes their way across a bowling lane at the back (maybe there would have been bowling balls to dodge?), then back towards the camera. Then, there is a platforming section across floating notepads. The Homer and Bart statues are seemingly textureless, so either they were meant to look like that or the materials were cut. The only navigation graph data that remains show that there would have been objects moving in a figure-eight shape on top of each notepad.

Springfield

Retirement Castle Interior

Underneath the retirement castle, there is an unused interior. This seems to be very basic, with little furniture.

Smithers' Apartment Interior

Located underneath the Sleep-Eazy Motel there is an interior for Smithers' Apartment (The pink apartment building behind the Aztec Theater). There are pieces of furniture outside the room, and floating in the middle of the room. Since the entire room and props are one single mesh, this is assumed to just be an error that the developers never fixed.

Unused Chatter Types

Various unused chatter types leftover from development remain in the game files, with their voicelines fully intact.

from_buddypc_onmyway

This chatter type was meant to play when your buddy character begins following you. This chatter type is notably used in the E3 build but only for Homer, as the other characters only have text-to-speech placeholder audio.

react_eatfood_apple

This chatter type was intended to trigger whenever Homer ate an apple food pickup. However, since there are no existing apple models or assigned objects linked to this type, the lines go unused in the final game. Interestingly, the Old-Gen prototype contains an apple pickup which uses this chatter type in the episode Five Characters in Search of an Author.

This chatter type was likely intended to trigger when you defeat Jimbo inside the Plantarium.

dinoroom_help_ammo

This chatter type was likely intended to trigger when the player would use Bart's slingshot to try to shoot the target above Dolph. This chatter type is a leftover from a cut mechanic where the ammo Bart collects throughout the episodes would have better damage and range.

dinoroom_help_doorslocked

dinoroom_volcanotramp

This chatter type was likely intended to trigger when the player uses the updraft from the volcano in the Dinosaur exhibit. Judging by the name and voicelines, it seems that originally the volcano would be a trampoline instead of an updraft coming from the volcano.

welcome_02

This chatter type was likely intended to trigger as the second voiceline for the introduction to the History of Man Exhibit. Due to all the voicelines for the introduction being put into one single audio file (d_mvma_xxx_0000917) instead of being separate, this chatter type goes unused.

Game Over

This chatter type was likely intended to trigger when the Skybucks building is finished. This is a leftover from an early version of the episode as Lisa was originally going to build Skybucks using the Hand of Buddha.

Regional Differences

Some lines of dialogue are not dubbed in other languages, and instead just have a 0.1 second worth of silence. Some quotes, such as Mayor Quimby asking for his bribe, are meant to be reused in Springfield from an existing cutscene. Quimby's other quotes also appear to have multiple existing copies. Other quotes, like Homer saying how he feels after turning into Helium Homer, also appear to be duplicates.

Revisional Differences

Enter the Cheatrix Time Challenge

The bridge in the blood room is damaged in the Xbox 360 version, but remains fully intact in the PlayStation 3 release.

PlayStation 3	Xbox 360

Bonus Movies

The European PlayStation 3 releases have an additional Bonus Movies sub-menu, which has two somewhat generic videos available. Bonus Movie 1 contains the "Rock You Like a Hurricane" trailer with music from "Five Characters In Search of an Author" while Bonus Movie 2 contains the "NeverQuest" and "Medal of Homer" parody trailers with music from "NeverQuest". This was originally meant to contain the cut Making-of movie for this game.

PlayStation 3 (Europe)	PlayStation 3 (Rest of the World), Xbox 360

Texture Resolution

To do: Some "generic" textures shared across many archives also have differing resolutions. Not to mention some others look quite different due to using other alpha masking types.

A couple textures have more visible compression artifacts in one version than the other, which isn't that noteworthy, however there are also several textures that are higher resolution, mostly in the PS3 version.
