Character task lists growing unwieldy

I would like the option at the unemployment office to send all characters on their last task, independent of time.

I would love to have an option to send everyone on a visual task. It would go well with your suggestion of a "repeat task" option.

This is partly the reason I used the unemployment office to task my characters (the other reason being we have about 300 of them now!).

I have updated the list today, 404 if you have all of them.

Every time we get a new building with a task, it seems to be assigned to the same 10-15 characters. Their task lists have grown too long to bother scrolling, and I can't remember which task is at which building.

You can check any specific building you want animated in the following thread:

It would be so much easier if, when the building is tapped, it allowed you to assign the associated character with the correct task via a popup. I'm sure that will never happen though, seeing how long we've been asking for an inventory index.

I doubt that we will ever have the ability to tap each building to assign tasks, but I would love to be proved wrong! I think it would take quite a lot of effort for no reward for EA to do this. I would like them to remove all the tasks associated with the ‘Adults’ group though, as every character has several extra tasks, for example, 4H ‘Try to win at Blackjack’.

I want to know why as of late every character has the same 5 tasks...

4hrs - Overpay for Sex on the Beach
4hrs - Stay at the Swelldorado
4hrs - Try to win at Blackjack
4hrs - Drink and Babysit
8hrs - Dance the Señor Burns

I wish they would get rid of these tasks as they were supposed to be temporary ones.

I don't want to burden the employment office or buildings with too many options, but I sure would like the ability to move tasks up or down in any given character's task list ... with some characters having half a dozen or more 4 hour tasks, I'd like the choice to assign one of those tasks as the default for when I use the employment office. I don't want every kid going to hogwarts, or every adult going to gamble ...

Alternatively, I would really really really REALLY like it if all NEW tasks added get put at the BOTTOM of the appropriate time frame list instead of the top. I strongly feel that the original -hour task that the character came with should always be the default that the employment office uses.

And while we're at it, why is it that most if not all of the new visual tasks added are 4 hours? Once in awhile they add some 8 hour ones. I would like some new 8, 12 and 24 hour visual tasks. There aren't enough of them.

Same here! They give jobs of a certain length to characters who didn’t have them before (or don’t have any otherwise), like the two barflies from Moe's, Leopold, and Sarah Wiggum. :)

Even showing the last assigned task at the top of the list would be helpful, ie I've got Homer doing his stunt cannon performance lately, for which I have to scroll to the middle each time.

Perhaps a "repeat task" option would be helpful? From time to time, I go through and manually assign visual tasks to each of my characters (398 currently) which can be quite time consuming.

? I don’t know if I’ve ever manually assigned tasks to all my characters. But a “repeat task” option would be awesome. My outdoor stages and a few other visual tasks almost never change.

I’d like to see a box beside each task and you can click the one you want as the default task for the unemployment office, choosing one for each length of time.
