I am at a standstill for the hospital as well. I'm at level 42, and am almost certain that the culprit for the Hibbert quests not popping up is because I have Chester Dupree! I'm stuck at Hibbert's Got Shed Pt. 5 where Chester needs to avoid responsibility, but at the hospital...

I had the exact same issue with Edna Krabapple. Her storyline stopped prompting because I had just received Luann VanHouten and her quests (The Investorettes) had popped up before I even built Skinner's house, and you kinda need Agnes for the quests. Nevertheless, I eventually got Agnes and the minute I finished their storyline, Edna's quests prompted back up. However I am stuck at this point in the game, uber frustrated, but also trying hard to be patient because at one point in my game, ALL my side quests stopped prompting for some bizarre reason. Eventually they started prompting, but there are still many quests that won't go off for me (i.e. Hibbert's storyline, General Hospital, Wolfcastle storyline, Herman's storyline).

I really don't want to nuke my town because it is just HUGE and it took me like a week to remodel it the last time because I would look at the amount of things I have, and just put away my iPad. Trying really hard to play the patience game, but I'm getting to the point where I just can't wait any longer!

Anyway, sorry for the lengthy post but that's my two cents :)

Yeap, I think that one can get Chester Dupree before the hospital quest completes is what the "Hibbert glitch" is that was mentioned in a thread. I did live chat, and was told 3-5 days it would be resolved. So when I contacted them again 7 days later, & that I have spent far too much money on this game, did get it forced by EA.

The nuking works for many, sometimes a couple of times, just glad with not having to do mine. One day, maybe, years down the road.

If you go to the EA site and fill out the customer relations stuff, there is an option to have them call you directly. I had this issue with the hospital too and tried all the posted advice (nothing worked). I first tried the customer service site and filled out a text box describing my issue asking for them to email me. I didn't hear back after 24 hours (Im impatient), so I went back on line and clicked on a box asking for a phone call. EA called 2 minutes later. Fixed the problem in less than 5 minutes, giving me the hospital in my inventory for free. Was great customer service. First time had that type of experience with an online game company.

I think due to the amount of people complaining about this issue, EA has gotten to the point where they're just forcing the hospital into people's inventory. Either they're too lazy to create a fix and release it as an update for others still experiencing this issue, or they actually can't fix the coding error so they're giving those players who contact them the hospital. It's a fix to an issue, but where's the fun in that? I like playing through the quests and the storyline, reading the dialogue to get the next building, but this way, you just skip to the next part in the game. I don't know about others, but I don't like missing any part of a story... Just feels incomplete (of course I know you can find the dialogue on other websites, but it's not the same...).
