Indoor/Outdoor Tasks
It is not a glitch EA made it happen ever since Valentines day. Yes, it is old news but that's ok.

So THAT'S why I keep seeing Homer on his mypad in friends' towns. I thought it was extremely odd that I kept visiting neighbors during the 45 seconds that Homer was performing that task.
Mystery solved, thanks for the info.
We were talking about it a short while back.
Hopefully the others won't mind if I repost this picture, since it shows what were talking about.
When I had my town assigned to drink in the pub, what a neighbor would see if the pub task had not expired was a view of the whole town coming out to do an outdoor task. And if the random task EA chose at that moment happened to be a stationary one, the character performing it would stand right in the doorway. Problem was, there were a BUNCH of characters assigned stationary tasks.
Below is a view from a neighboring town. Notice moe is walking pandas and Hank Scorpio is flame throwing, but the Texan, Smithers, Booobarella, Barney, the sea captain, and even Patty and Selma all stayed in the doorway.
They just stayed like that. Each time the town was reloaded the characters were different. (Nelson isn't part of the topic. I placed him there on purpose ahead of time. )
