So far we've had 2 ingame updates and neither of them contained a fix.However according to players that looked in the files, the Office of Unemployment is disabled for the length of the event; presumably deliberately otherwise it wouldn't be for the length of the event. I'm guessing EA thinks we're stupid and people would complain that characters needed for Halloween tasks are getting sent away on other jobs, but I really don't think it would be that widespread a problem.So which is it EA, a genuine bug that is taking a suspiciously long time to fix? Or a deliberate change to "help" people with the event?I'm not sure what you're talking about. I posted and removed the sticky (was actually called an announce as it keeps it on top) and the office of unemployment is working fine again for me, iOS. May have heard some android users are still having a bit of a problem with it but I think they were before as well.

Oh ok that makes sense why it was removed then. It's still not working for me though, and I'm on iOS. Had a small ingame update not long ago which didn't fix it, and there's nothing in the app store.

I still don't have it working again. iOS as well. But I don't mind.Yet.

It makes you go though the dialogue again as if it was new. Did you check your task book?

Great job, EA! :roll:

Ditto here - back and not working correctly on Android. Way to check it before sending out an update, EA. :roll: :thumbdown:

I can confirm that is not working correctly on Android for instance I have over 150 characters but yet I can't send all of them on 24 hour tasks and they all have 24-hour tasks or 12 hour tasks or 8 hour tasks it literally doesn't assign about 35 to 40 people and it's really frustrating. I don't understand why they don't just make it work correctly I don't give a hoot about SH, okay that's my choice if I want to send people out on a task, they shouldn't exclude them.

Because of SH or Halloween, its really not that hard all you need to do is put the people that you want on task first so in this instance if you're doing Halloween you put all your kids at the campfire then you put all the adults at the other sites. Then you use office of employment to assign the rest of the people under appropriate tasks it's very simple they're making it so much more confusing than they need to.
