Summary
The Ultimate Simpsons Doom is a graphics and sound mod made by Myk Friedman & Walter Stabosz. In the mod you play as Homer Simpson killing his friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers (they replace the monsters). As it only replaces graphics and sounds it can be used with either Doom or Doom II.
The wad also contains a SNDINFO lump which remaps some sounds for source ports (such as ZDoom) that support this lump type. The original DOS engines and source ports that don't support this lump, will simply ignore it when the WAD is loaded and play the mod without the remapped sounds.

Other
Homer with a BFG 9000
Homer uses the same exact weapons as in the original Doom games. However some of the items (the health restoring items and special items in particular) have changed to fit the atmosphere of the Simpsons.
- A donut — Health Bonus
- A donut with sprinkles — Armor Bonus
- A can of Duff Beer — Stimpack
- A 6-Pack of Duff Beer — Medikit or Backpack
- A Bucket of Chicken — Soul Sphere
- A Purple Bowling Ball — MegaSphere
The ammo and armor items remain mostly the same as in the original Doom games, with some exceptions (for example, a box of shotgun shells is now a pile of donuts, and the rocket box is now labelled "UAC Donuts" instead of "UAC Rockets"). The stages in the game are exactly like those in whatever IWAD is loaded, but having a more colorful appearance. This is because the WADfile has no level data, only sounds and graphics. It is thus possible to use this mod with other Doom-based games, such as Ultimate Doom or Final Doom, and also with any level mod which doesn't depend upon replacing standard Doom flats with custom graphics (mods which define additional graphics which don't replace the standard ones, such as TNT.WAD, should work okay, and once you learn which Simpsonised flats replace which standard/custom ones, all other mods should be playable).

Textures
- The "D'oh" graffito on some textures is Homer's famous annoyed grunt.
- "No TV and no beer make Homer go something something" refers to Treehouse of Horror V.
- Various of the impaled or hanging corpses are replaced by Simpsons characters, such as Lisa or Santa's Little Helper. One of them is the ham from Moe Baby Blues.
Trivia
- Apart from visual appropriateness, the likely reason Maggie was chosen to be the Arachnotron is because the Arachnotron's thing type is MT_BABY.
- According to WAD author Myk Friedman, Maggie and MT_BABY is just a coincidence.
- Another pun involves casting Marge as the Arch-Vile — thus making her a Marge-Vile.
