FYI: cannot group store characters

I am about to do a screen replacement on my borrowed iPad, so I’ll be stuck using my old android tab, possibly for a few days.

I know the game runs better on it with fewer characters roaming around. So I just sent every character not linked to a building or decoration, to either "pay too much for sex on the beach" or "get stuck in webs"

Unfortunately the chars won’t store as a group with the buildings. So I’ve isolated them and will try to leave them in there until the repair is complete.

Pretty disappointing, EA. I spent an hour sorting these chars for nothing.

There’s over 100 chars in these two buildings but aren’t being recognized
  • Never tried it but what happens when you free 'em and then group select ??
    The thinking - they're not tied to those buildings and storing a building always frees characters that are just on task there. If you can group select them then and store the characters that might help.
    Using the groups thingies on the right so it only selects characters might give it a nudge too.

    I tried both methods, grabbing inside the buildings failed; releasing and trying to grab them on pavement failed.

    If anyone has success using the Area Select Tool to grab multiple characters at once, please report your results here! ?
  • Just had a play and the answer is no - but it's not group store itself that's the problem . . .
    As soon as you tap to group select it disables selecting characters so it'll never work, sorry :(
    If all they all came with combos and you'd got all the items that unlocked 'em in one place you could do it that way but my guess is that'd be a pain to research and you'd need to move a shed-load of items !!
    EDIT - on a similar note if you freed 'em and chased 'em down to store one at a time it'd also store a shed-load of combo items that unlocked 'em so maybe just leave 'em on task and don't collect
