Hi there, I'm probably really naive on this but this is really doing my head in in regards to unlocking Dr Marvin Monroe from the game. I've reached level 52 as required and I'm pretty sure I've unlocked the Family Therapy Center as it was a 24 hour thing to do and I read online a few days ago you needed this to unlock him but I can't even find this anymore and Dr Marvin Monroe and the Therapy Center is still locked. It's really frustrating. I have no idea what to do, apparently Lisa starts off this quest but nothing is coming up under the actions for Lisa so I've reached Level 52 and can't even unlock the character I want to as I can't find the Family Therapy Center in my buildings to buy or in the inventory of buildings I've already got, can anyone kindly help please?I love this game but I really wish they would let some things connect and run smoothly, there was something else recently where I had to look online to work out how to unlock something when really it should guide you through the game as you get to the level.Thanking you kindly in advance, I'm really grateful to all who kindly help and hope to hear from you soon :)

It's been quite some time since I unlocked Dr Marvin Monroe so I'm not sure what was needed but these types of problems are often caused by the fact that you need to have completed certain tasks before they unlock and due to the time taken you can often reach the required level to unlock the character but because you haven't completed all the preceding quests the character/building won't unlock , do you have any uncompleted tasks in the task book?

Right, this is a pain then cause I have no idea what I need to do or complete. I'm on Level 52, I can't find the Therapy Center (though I'm sure I built this the other week as I read up about it and it was a 24 hour thing to build). Some of the tasks in my task list are as follows:Princess & The Pea Brain Pt. 1 (I need to build Krusty's giant wheel).Ain't No Mountain High Enough Pt 8 (I need to make Mr Burns spend 500,000)Real Estate Mogul Pt. 3 (105.28 of 200 & I need to place Springfield lake).Worlds Largest Redwood Pt. 4 (30/60 done)The Krusty-est Place on Earth Pt. 29 (I need to build Krusty's haunted condo)Cubical Dream Pt. 5 (Upgrade a modern mansion to level 5)Above the clouds of Springfield Pt. 5 (Business center to level 5)Springfield Heights Pt. 10 (Unlock marketing agency).That's all I have in my task list :). Thanks for helping guys, I'm really grateful :)

I know this wont help much, but sometimes you have to be patient. I was around level 200 in one of my side towns when the quests for the old jewish guy started. That town is at 939 now and I still sont have side show bob!

Yeah, it's just really confusing to be honest, shouldn't really tell you you need to get to level 52 to unlock a character and then when you get there it doesn't unlock, usually games would be set up to guide you through and continue so you know what to do to unlock it rather than guess work or it just not unlocking for whatever reason.I'm a bit annoyed to be honest cause I was purposely building up the XP and doing lots of things to get to the level so I could specifically unlock this character. The Family Therapy scene is one of my favourite ever scenes in The Simpsons among many, however I really wanted this character specifically and now I've got there and done all the work and it's not unlocked. So frustrating.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYglvcLwkK4

And don't forget to do Krustyland! You have to do Krustyland! You can't skip it! I can't stress to you how important this is! And I seem to be really excited this morning! Exclamation! Exclamation I say!

I think maybe you should solve the previous Quest.

you need Lv52 to get Dr. Marvin, but your quest line is only about 42.

This is a list of level buildings from the tips thread:

You have to do part of the level 43 quest in Krustyland before you can continue with level 44 etc in Springfield. Find the lowest level building that you don't have in the list above, then try to build them in the order listed.

This is it. The one time that EA decided that you needed to complete things in Krustyland. Unless you get Penelope and the wheel, you are stopped from proceeding.

I am also confused why somebody thought it was appropriate to flag the OP. This isn't a spam thread.

Right, I didn't know all this. Thanks guys I really appreciate it!!

Yeah no idea why someone flagged it, guess it's just someone being a clown really.

Anyway, thanks again, it's much appreciated :)

You can only have so many storyline quests running at the same time. It's deliberate to make it last longer. You need to clear your current quests that arent event quests.

*edit* It will more than likely be the Krustyland quest you need to complete, I remember having the same pain when it was released.
