And if that doesn't work: contact EA directly. I did, and they added Sideshow Bob to my Springfield the same day.
Mind you : I did finish the first part of the Flaw and Order quest, it just didn't move on to part 2...

I started another Springfield just to try and get SSB. Got him!


This was at level 18.

You say you keep tapping on him, is it possible you're not quite tapping in the right place.
More than once, I have tapped him and he's still running, it's like his square is smaller than usual.

Or are you talking about tapping him in Other Springfield but he still doesn't appear in your town.
I think I eventually got him at over Level 150. Maybe?

I've been at level 939 for 2 years and still haven't got got him :(

Man I wish there was a straight answer to all this I'd love to get ssb I'm level 101 never started any of his quests and I play very often at least every 30 mins to an hour

IOS users have little trouble getting him as they can use the notification trick. Android users however either need to borrow an i device or just contact EA and ask for him.

You’d have thought after all these years that EA would’ve fixed the problem for Android instead of players with Android having to use iOS.

The following is from my January 2017 post in the Answers forum, which I just got another "Thank You" for after all these years:

Just as an informational point: Sideshow Bob will only appear in a neighbor's town if that neighbor has not completed the quest and does not have him as a playable character.

I can pretty much find Sideshow Bob in Other Springfield at least once a day in all 3 of my games, although sometimes I have to leave Other Springfield and go back to it. You also have to be quick - he always appears in the same place (depending on what level your game is on) then zips away and 'hides', vanishing next to a building or decoration (even tiny things that he couldn't possibly hide behind in real life). I find him near the SprawlMart, but on lower levels he appears near the Squidport entrance.
