I have a problem finding the "big one"

You need to wait for him to spawn
He does every 24 hours

I tried my best last night even after I knew he would have regenerated but never did find him. Picked up the search again this morning and still wasn't having any luck (turned off everything but people in the editor view). FINALLY found him in Springfield Heights area, in a section I hadn't decorated yet (no grass, at least 2-3 plots away from the closest road). I hope this helps some.

The best way to find the big guy is to go to your build menu and turn off everything but characters. Then search around until you see him. He'll be fairly obvious. Then exit the menu and tap him four times. He'll run each time but not far, you can follow him. And then it's done.

got the notification he was back in town, so I turned off everything but the people layer and scanned over the whole town a half dozen times but didn't see him...

went to krustyland to resync and when I came back, he was right in the middle of my old west town.... so maybe a quick run to KL and back might shake him out too.

Anyone with the Leprechauns have plenty of practice catching him :thumbup:

I get the notification pop up when he is in my town, then I just scroll around usually he isnt too tricky to find. Turn off the buildings, etc to get a better view if it helps.

I think i came to the conclusion that when he's in town, there's an assignment to get him posted in the task book. Don't bother looking until then If you get the daily assignment, you just have to wait or skip it.

Sorry if this was mentioned already.

Thanks everyone...
As I mentioned, I have turned of everything while looking for him, but I was not able to see him...
and because it was my daily to touch him, I was sure he was already there, somewhere... Probably the daily task is not in sync with the spawn clock, in fact this evening I got a new notification, and he was just on the screen, exactly where I was in that moment...
Well.. I hope someone else will find useful all your hints!

i dont usually have a problem finding him but behind monorail pillars is easy to miss though. once you've tapped him keep up with him, he's quick moving. once you've cleared him (tapped 4 times if i remember correctly) then 24 hours later you will get a reward poster notice to let you know he's back in town and active again
