Probably asking too much, but it would be nice to not have to go looking for all these guys now to collect the tasks.

Unemployment Job Manager is Here! (ie A Send All Characters on A Task Button!)

Oh freaking hell YES! Been waiting for that one for years... no really, two years!
Should make the quick 5 min play really only 5 mins and not 20!

now we need a Collect ALL money button!

Was out and away from the game but reports that the IRS building is now available! Should make collecting easier.

Has anyone else found that when you tap on the unemployment office to put all characters on jobs, it doesn't actually put them all on jobs as requested. I clicked on it this morning to put all on 12 hour jobs. It only put half the characters on jobs, the rest even though they had 12 hours jobs available to them, I had to manually put them on 12 hour jobs. Kinda defeated the purpose.

Playing on Android? There is a bug in the game that prevents the job manager working properly on Android!

Yep Android!

Not all characters have a 12 hour job.

wnolan1992 · 28-09-2015 1:16pm

Homer Dog, bit random, but I love it.

I'd also love that Burns statuey thing, but can't justify spending that many donuts on a decoration that doesn't even improve your multiplier.

Oh I know that and I thought that was the reason over the weekend. But when I did it this morning, all characters who weren't put on jobs, bar one, had 12 hours tasks they could have done and I had to manually put them on jobs.

Yep even the 4hr jobs only send some of them and not them all. Andriod here too.

CSSE09 · 28-09-2015 11:08pm

I haven't gone through the entire list of characters but does it not make sense the unemployment office only sends certain characters on tasks as in the ones that don't have jobs. Off the top of my head I noticed the public servants, Dr hibert and the kids don't get sent out.

Edit: good theory here actually, https://www.reddit.com/r/tappedout/comments/3mb0o2/theory_on_why_some_characters_arent_following_the/

marcbrophy · 29-09-2015 12:07am

Great theory alright!

Absolutely terrible coding if true, but great theory

wnolan1992 · 29-09-2015 9:41am

It's a nice theory, but any 1st year programmer could solve that problem pretty instantly. I really doubt that a company like EA would... Oh, actually, I'm just remembering the pretty basic bugs in FIFA games, never mind. :P

god's toy · 06-10-2015 7:19pm

Ah Halloween update is up!

gnfnrhead · 06-10-2015 7:30pm

Won't load for me. Got the new loading screen but won't load past the tap to continue screen.

Wellyd · 06-10-2015 7:37pm

Typical......just after sending them all on 24 hour tasks!

MrsFlushdraw · 07-10-2015 9:11am

Job manager gone for me since update. Anyone else?

guil · 07-10-2015 10:03am

Didn't have it in the first place haha.

Yep here too. Think its related to the bug it had.

RoryMurphyJnr · 07-10-2015 1:31pm

No IRS for me either, I timed nuking my Springfield nicely, just starting it back together when the update came in.
Now have all buildings crammed in one corner

Sunny Dayz · 07-10-2015 2:05pm

Yeah, could have really used the job manager today, it saves me some much lunch time. I was in a mad scramble to get everyone else on jobs before I went back to my own!

Didn't realise how much I relied on the job manager. Takes ages to put them all on jobs! hope they fix it soon lol

guil · 08-10-2015 11:20am

I'm only level 19 but really struggling with money. Any pointers?

blarney_boy · 08-10-2015 2:19pm

Ah yes, the old money troubles from level 17 . . .

the only fix is to invest donuts in decorations that add multipliers, was lucky with the recent tennis court decoration for Springfield heights 'bug' (since fixed) that allowed me create multiple tennis courts to get my multiplier over 100%

that and maxing out Friends points (so you get triple payouts for visiting neighbours) really helps to rake in the cash

Woshy · 10-10-2015 11:39am

Job manager gone for me too and I miss it. It hasn't gone permanently has it?

I've been having huge connectivity issues still, it seems to be brought on by an update and then when another update appears it fixes it. EA are just saying it's my iPad or wifi as I can access on my phone (which I can do on my wifi as well) but it's only tapped out I have issues with. Thankfully the Halloween update is working perfectly but I know when it ends I'll be stuck again.

Has anyone found loads of their friends are not playing the hallowe'en updat? I'm having trouble getting rid of my nightmares

MrsFlushdraw · 10-10-2015 1:22pm

I am finding it takes ages to visit friends at the moment. Even ones doing the event. Hunting and hunting for nightmares to squish. Doing my brain in.

Woshy · 10-10-2015 2:02pm

Yes, the snakes are the worst. You can spend ages in a friend's town without finding anything.

guil · 10-10-2015 3:06pm

Snakes are a disaster to find alright.

keano_afc · 10-10-2015 6:07pm

The nightmares are a bloody nightmare to tap. Especially if they're anywhere near a building. Visiting neighbours is a waste of time. Nothing to tap.

wnolan1992 · 11-10-2015 12:18am

I don't care about any of the prizes apart from Hugo. Which nightmares should I spawn to maximise my chances of getting him does anyone know?

blarney_boy · 11-10-2015 2:02am

Hugo crafting target requires zombies and skeletons.

I've actually found this event to be quite easy with the crafting totals, previous event have required weeks of grind to obtain items but I have multiples of all the craftable items after only three days!

Stockpiling bones, rabbit ears, eggs and brains for future craftable items, hoping for more exciting items that trees and cabins in future acts

guil · 11-10-2015 7:20am

How do you choose what nightmares to spawn?

MrsFlushdraw · 11-10-2015 8:42am

When you click campfire. Choose the character to tell stories that has the picture of the nightmare you want.

MrsFlushdraw · 11-10-2015 12:09pm

It is taking way too long to go between the friends in my list. I just get rid of the shapeless things in each town that I can (which also takes ages) why do they have the screen zip about to place them? takes for ages!

Really getting annoyed with this event with all this stuff happening.

keano_afc · 11-10-2015 9:22pm

I'm calling it. It's a crap event.

Is the Hugo crafting target to get him as a character you mean? I have him already.

I have huge amounts of the crafting materials and have crafted everything, most more than once too. I'm worried though that the second act will have new crafting materials and they'll go to waste. Anyone know for sure?

blarney_boy · 12-10-2015 1:03pm

No I don't think they're going to get rid of the existing crafting resources, they may add new ones, however . . .

Got my Shop of Evil this morning on login, looks like I'm back to grinding daily tasks for the promise of some free donuts . . . sigh!

endacl · 14-10-2015 2:03am

Confirm donut spend magically unchecked again...

:rolleyes:

wnolan1992 · 14-10-2015 11:53am

I spent 30 on The Raven today.

I'll spend donuts during this event "never more" now. :P

Sarn · 16-10-2015 6:37pm

Anyone else finding it slow to collect s'mores? Not sure I'll make it to the final prize.

blarney_boy · 16-10-2015 10:40pm

Nope - unlocked the final prize this morning, to be honest it's nothing special, just a big decoration that spawn nightmares every 24 hours, if you don't unlock it you're not missing anything . . .

just waiting for act two to start now, I have a couple thousand crafting resources to spend on new items, hoping we're going to get something cool to craft for acts two and three

Venom · 17-10-2015 1:42pm

This link shows what goodies are coming up in Acts 2 and 3

wnolan1992 · 17-10-2015 2:26pm

I'm struggling to get the last Act 1 prize. I'm about 3700 short now.

Sunny Dayz · 18-10-2015 10:12pm

Bored with the Halloween challenge. Not interested in the portal, have all other things crafted and upgrading the campfire just give hedges, sheds and tents. Everyone on 24 hour jobs until Act 2 starts.

RoryMurphyJnr · 19-10-2015 3:35pm

Anyone manage to get the IRS?

I did a restart, stored everything and slowly build it up again but no sign of the IRS

wnolan1992 · 19-10-2015 5:21pm

I cannot seem to amass S'mores at all. Granted I've missed a few login times this week, but I didn't think I'd missed so many that'd I'd be 2200 off the final Act 1 prize with less than 24 hours to go.

guil · 19-10-2015 5:45pm

I'm 2800 off but I'm only level 24 and the first few days I didn't really know what was going on.

MrsFlushdraw · 19-10-2015 6:14pm

I can't upgrade my campfire to level 4. Thought it was maybe the nightmares from friends town I needed as I had been checking mine but nothing is budging the 70/200 I have had for ages.

Anyone else?

Joeseph Balls · 19-10-2015 6:16pm

In the challenge where you tap nightmares, is there a glitch or something? I'm tapping zombies etc in my town, friends towns and the purple things, and it rarely moves!!

Do you have the right nightmare spawning? It tells you which you need and then get the relevant kid to tell a story at the campfire so the particular nightmare type starts to spawn.
Martin if you need zombies, Lisa if you need snakes, etc

If you have the right type spawning then I'm out of ideas. Sorry.
