Just discovered a SideShow Bob glitch

SSB is glitched for me. If he appears in a city, I just need to leave and come back. The camera then zooms in directly to him. (android)
  • Level 30 and just confirmed that this works. I've tapped Bob 10 times in the last few minutes. Sometimes he starts running off pretty fast, so be quick.

    Thanks for the tip!

    My Daily Actions are at 3/3 right now so not sure if it works after completing a task.
  • That would be helpful for players on lower levels if it is truly a glitch.

    Thanks for sharing!
  • You would have thought Bob would make it a little more difficult to find him....it like he wants to be caught! :lol:
  • I haven't heard about this happening before, but nifty nonetheless. I used to find him a tad annoying, but now I hope the glitch happen to my game too.
  • I don't think its a glitch it happened to me http://www.supercheats.com/iphoneipad/the-simpsons-tapped-out/2820/Side-Show-Bob/ this explains it and it is true. Once other Springfield hits level 20 he will appear everytime you visit you don't have to wait 24 hours he will keep doing that until other Springfield updates to level 25 then he won't frequently appear
  • I'd call it more of an 'Easter Egg' rather than a glitch. SSB being constantly available in Other Springfield's Squidport has been there for quite a while ... I discovered this feature last summer.

    I don't think it's going away either; my Other Springfield is level 30 (I'm level 38 ) and he's still there every time.

    Also, it doesn't matter if you have any actions available in O.S. ... SSB will still be at or near the Squidport in O.S. every time you visit.
  • Speaking of the "Other Springfield," is that guy the laziest player ever? He's been a level 30 for months and hasn't made ANY design changes in forever! The guy started out so strong, leveling up quickly - even quicker than me and I was tapping as hard as I could. I know he's even bought donuts, but it's like he doesn't even care anymore. I hope he is okay and hasn't fallen into a well or is in a coma... :D

    Hmmm ... are you on Android or iOS ? I'm on Android, and I'm pretty sure there are some small differences in how the game works on different platforms.

    Other than that, all I can suggest is that when you go to Other Springfield, go immediately to the Squidport entrance ... Bob doesn't just stand around waiting for you to discover him, he starts moving the moment you enter O.S. so you have to be quick to catch him before he runs off in an unknown direction or hides behind a building.
