Office of Unemployment

According to the sticky posted 2 weeks ago (which is now gone), EA are aware of the issue and working on a fix. 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.

Well just got the forced update to the game for the job manager would of thought that while it was not in the game that they would have had a go at fixing it for android oh well maybe one day it will work.

I'm on Android and not having a problem with the office at all.

Because i haven't bothered using it.

Great addition to the game EA! So glad you're wasting resources on trying to fix this tool for the lazy.. Not like anything else needs your attention.

I loved the OoU's addition. It's not about being lazy, it's about wanting to play but not having 10 or 15 minutes to dedicate when you have over 100 characters. Great add for people who want to play but don't have a ton of time to dedicate.

Now if only the update didn't make my game crash.

Yay, it's back! Mine still doesn't send everyone though. I just tried to send everyone on 8 hour tasks, and I had 29 characters left over. Some of them have SH tasks, and some have 6 hour tasks, so I think that's why they were left behind. Some others were random though, like Dr. Nick and Number 1, who have nothing else to do...

It still isn't working properly for me. I still have to set characters on jobs manually.
