Act II Crafting is locked

Okay figured it out. I had to place the gondola in the bonus area. (The last part of Springfield Job Part 6 quest had to be completed first) Anyone having this issue should probably check if they have an outstanding act I event quests to be completed.

No I have definitely completed all tasks for act 1. It let me purchase the Cathedral then an old Gil deal popped up on my screen for Duff Gardens then when I opened the crafting again to buy a police box it had locked me out.

I am having the same problem. I actually crafted the first 2 items of act 2 (the red and blue phone booths) then, I purchased Duff Gardens and wham... Act 2 is locked. I can't craft anymore England items. Any ideas?

This is quite troubling, as the Gil Deal for Duff Gardens can be one of the current glitch problems that players are having. This is from the ‘recent issues’ thread, posted on April 2nd:

Just happened again, it's the valentine 2016 event and then Gill with the Duff Gardens offer.

I will say this, and I know that none of you care (nor does EA, although I have given them some money this past year), if Act 3 starts and I can't craft anything because of this continued, b.s. I'm done. I'll install the Family Guy game

My thoughts as well!! If Act 3 crafting doesn't work I'm outta here.

:( sometimes the event takedown does fix the issues, if you quit act 3 than try the next event. hopefully this will be fixed by the takedown

What annoys me even more is because I can't complete the Act 2 quests and already have the carriage I can't get bonuts for completing early grrrr

i get you, get in line with the rest. we (forum community) do feel for you all having issues

I've been dealing with the rollback glitch since mid March. Last night I had another replay of the glitch start--up (for me it is an invitation to catch up on daily tasks, the Gill deal, pie man, etc.) This time the result was crafting for act 2 is locked up. I already placed the carriage, and am still able to accumulate bonuts (I think). I've had EA do 2 "successful" rollbacks, only to have the glitch reappear within days or hours. I'm not interested in more rollbacks or losing progress. I hope EA is taking this seriously. 5+ year player, not sure how much longer I will bother.

I'm terribly sorry to hear of your troubles

This bug has been around for over a year, if that tells you how seriously EA is taking this

I have had no problem crafting level 2 items. Did you get 20% in level 1 or get the movie to display with the gondola, cheese truck? Just some info neede to figure this out. Got the level 2 little english tower?

Got the movie to display. At 9 and 9.3% percent in the two bonus jewel buildings maybe that's the issue? Maybe I have to get one of the bonus buildings to 20%? There's no English tower. Maybe you mean the Leaning tower of Pisa? (which I have)

I'm having a slightly different problem. I can't get past 18 percent on the Springfield tower. I have added a couple of extra guards. It shows 20 percent when placing them. But it goes back to 18 when done.

@hocuspocus316 Did you play the video at the end of Act 1?
