Finding fans in your neighbors towns

I was the one who thought weird al was a female fan with an accodian on another thread and he still throwns me off.

Not the only one, took me 20 hours to realise it was a lad.

:D
I know right? Where did weird als moustach go?

Ah yes, saw the picture in the other thread. Didn’t realise he had a moustache and specs.

I really wish my neighbors would keep characters either inside or stationary. It'll take me 24 hours to rein all mine in, but once I do I'm pretty diligent keeping them out of the way. Some of my neighbors delight in putting all their characters out during an event. Why??

I don't get it. It's harder to find the things to tap on when the streets are so crowded. Why not keep them out of the way? Just common sense. It's always seemed like the courteous thing to do--to make it easier not just for me but for my neighbors....

The other annoyance is putting the landing site far away from roads. The roads are where you find the items to tap. I hate having to scroll halfway across someone's town just to find a road.

I find it really hard to spot which ones I need to tap on in neighbor towns. They just don't stand out like characters from past events did. As such, I'll probably rarely visit neighbors.

What you're seeing in your neighbor's towns is what the game randomly shows you. You don't see the real tasks your neighbor's have set their characters on. Set yours on 24 hrs. No one will ever know. I promise :)

Ever since one Valentine's Day even where you had to tap characters to give them Valentines in neighbor towns, the programming has been to have all the characters visible to visitors even if you have placed them on indoor tasks. So putting all your characters indoors will only clear them in your own town. (Though it might help you with finding lawyers in your own town)

As for finding the Concert goers, one fades in immediately as the town opens, catch him quickly. And then anyone with their back to you but not walking is a Concert goer.

I think if you find Weird Al and tap him they come running. Or at least that is what they did in my town. Will have to try in neighbors town as well.

That hasn't worked for me and I have tapped Weird Al in almost every town thinking he was a festival fan.

I tried it once in my own Springfield. Within 10 seconds Al was surrounded by half a dozen fans. All women. I couldn't stop laughing. The guy's a chick magnet. :D

That's a surprise to me. I speak regularly with a friend who plays and often complain to him--in a friendly way--about some of the tasks he chooses for his characters. When I visit I see the activities he has sent them on. And I know for a fact that he can see, in my Springfield, Rod and Todd on the see-saw, horrified at the centerfold in their line of sight that Dolph is drooling over. Patty and Selma are Always Smoking in front of their apartment building, and he sees that too.

I'm not saying you are mistaken--I don't know. I can only relate my own experience.

Visible tasks don't change, but any character on an indoor task is given a random visible task.
