JM doesnt work!?

I had a similar experience to yourself, job manager said that I had zero people for jobs but probably still had a third of my Springfielders left unasked and had to manually assign them a task, oh and none of them had a highlighted job waiting to be done.

You are not doing anything wrong.

Some characters are not sent because they might be needed for other tasks. They seem to be exempted if they could be involved in a quest (even if they already did their part), work in SH, or work in recycling. But it does not seem consistent in this. And some characters are exempted for reasons I cannot understand. It's a new set of features and probably has bugs to work out.

That makes sense, I realize now pretty much everyone is wanted for a Don Vittorio (sp?) task. I went to krustyland so many times to try to sync it up lol

I just popped back and double checked.... JM says 0 available. Town census tells me 30 characters (including all the simpsons, apu, and many other early appearing characters) are waiting for something to do..... I forget to check if jm has charged me correctly. I hope this is just teething problems.....its a great feature coupled with IRS. I cant see me needing more than lvl 4, it seems ample for me.

Thanks Neg, that would make sense. Maybe EA could actually explain it in-game since for every forum reg there will be hundreds of other players!

By the way, if you havent upgraded IRSyet, it costs 700K to get to level 4 and it is plenty big enough I reckon.

Thought that there must be some reason for them not being sent to a job, thanks for the heads up, had already got all my characters that can recycle or create metal,glass and tin in those jobs already so guess like you said must be something to do with the heights or just a few bugs yet to be ironed out, it would be nice of EA to explain how to job manager works but I don't have much hope as they aren't exactly forthcoming with information about these things, all being well LPN (superstas)will work out how it works and post it for us all to see.

That answers the question I came here for. I was going to reset mine but the JM showed very few available. I have Vittorio's heist quest going so I went back and checked and just about everybody has that.

So I guess anybody with a high-lighted task won't be counted as available?

uh yeah about that... ehm uh ah ehm EA used confusion it's supereffective

anyway this is how it appears with everyone free, all buildings owned, all characters owned, and no quest showing (except Willie's random quest)

All the more confusing. If they just released tasks so all characters have those task lengths, why are the number of people available for each job length different?

I sent all with JM including some SH and rail yard that weren't tasked (so those have to finish before I can use them :? ) nobody's on the waiting to something list.
