Possible help for event until EA fixes game.

this bug seems to be mainly triggered by tapping too many completed character jobs at once. tapping more than ~3-5 characters at once seems to be the main culprit in all of these crashes. your best course is to tap as few characters at a time as you can (try to tap them one at a time whenever possible). if there are too many in one area, move the building/decoration to somewhere isolated and tap it there. after getting those out of the way (and MANY restarts...), i was able to tap the rest of the buildings in my springfield with minimal crashes here and there. i guess the best thing we can do right now is not send characters on jobs. this obviously sucks, since the vast majority of my income comes from character jobs, but it looks like the only course of action right now.
update: place your IRS building in storage. it makes a HUGE difference
it'll still crash after storing the irs building. you just have to go painfully slow, tapping one or two characters at a time and waiting for the money to collect. if you go too fast, it'll crash. and if a building is crashing every time you tap it (aka too many characters sent to do jobs there) just bite the bullet and place it in storage. you'll lose out on money, but you can at least continue on in the game.

I also have the same problem and have been playing for many years. So I got creative and basically first cleared all the buildings $$ with Skyfinger. Then kept clearing all character jobs 30 seconds at a time until they were all cleared out too. If the game crashed and wouldn't let me clear a group of characters then I would place the building in storage to clear the jobs and then replace the building. Now all jobs were cleared & money collected. The new game started and quickly before the app closed again I put the Simpsons to task. I go back and double check to make sure all the tasks took, and when all is good repeat again 4 hours later. So even with this glitch/bug I have been able to play between the 30 sec drops and am on my last task!! It just takes a little patience but it can be played in the meanwhile.

Still crashing after 30s to a minute BUT if I can get to a piece of land with no buildings or decorations I can farm bloodmobiles for around ten minutes. This has worked for me several times. There must be a reason for this but I can't think what. It's worth a shot if you need more donuts and you are affected by the bug.

I can get into the game, but it crashes when I try to collect finished quest "thumbs". I managed to move my Sky Finger monument to a remote location, so I could at least use that to get the building income.

The best way I have found to play the game is to place next to The Simpsons house a teleporter is much easier to move to another location where is Skyfinger (my only income at the time) and an empty area to place the buildings from the event and place bloodmobiles to generate donuts. Also I found out when you unlock an event or premium building is better to store it first and then place it. If you do not have any of the Frinks teleporters you can use the Krustyland shuttle or the Nicks Bowling shop.
