This Old Shanty is a bonus mission in the first level of The Simpsons: Hit & Run, which the player has the option of skipping. The reward for completing this mission is Cletus's Pickup Truck.

Whilst the player is able to skip this mission if they want, they can't get 100% complete on the level progress screen without it as the user needs to complete all bonus missions and obtain all vehicles (this is the only way to get Cletus's Pickup Truck) to achieve 100%.

Plot[]

Homer upon encountering Cletus recognizes him, and wants his permission to use his truck. Cletus however will only do so on the offer that Homer will help him with his chores, including finding cardboard tubes and collecting the tomacco harvest.

The mission[]

Talk to Cletus who is standing by his house which is just before the camper-van site in the poor area (just after the Golden bridge). Near Gil, the man who will sell you vehicles. But don't let the time run out or it will be too late.

What to do:

  1. Talk To Cletus
  2. Collect His Cardboard Tubes
  3. Collect His Harvest
  4. Return and talk to Cletus

Tips[]

  • The mission's title is a reference to the 1954 country song "This Ole House" by Stuart Hamblen.
  • When collecting the harvest at the crop-field, be very wary of hitting any damage-able tomacco plants as doing so in quick succession will raise the Hit & Run meter in bursts. If possible, try slowing down when collecting the plants on car, or try to collect them on foot instead.
  • Collecting tomacco on foot is easier and safer than collecting it with your vehicle, as the car can become unstable on the field and the Hit & Run meter will rise extremely quickly as hitting the plants will count as damage.
