Power plant on overdrive!

I got the same error. I ended up storing the power plant and got Smithers back. But I don't think I got the money or xp. :?

Same thing happened to me. It gets even buggier, though: When I re-sent Burns to do his money fight task, the plant's task bar said he's doing it with two Smitherses. After completing the task for the second time, two ghost Smitherses were trapped with 'Error'-tasks in the plant, while the real Smithers was roaming my Springfield.

And when I then sent my roaming Smithers on his 8-hours 'Whip It' task and left my Springfield, he was still doing that task when I returned - but right in front of the Power Plant, where he would appear when he finishes a job there. Storing the Control Building made everything return to normal, though.

(And no, I didn't make a screenshot.)

Seems like a serious glitch, however, it will probably be fixed by EA very soon! :-)

Lol, Smitherses :lol:

Well, it was either that or Smitherinos.

I vote "Smitherinos"!

Thanx! I thought it was just me :D

Same thing also. As part of the level 40 storyline I got a task/quest for Smithers to go dancing with Krusty and Hoover and every time I clicked on the task button for Smithers it found Burns each time. Couldnt find Smithers anywhere; it was driving me nuts so in the end I just put burns manor in the inventory and got him back that way... weird :?

Errrr. How silly do YOU feel right now?? :roll:

I took a screenshot because I thought this was odd




When I tried to store the control building, my game crashed. To get rid of "ghost Smithers" I had to store Burns manor. Then when I tried to do the money fight task again, it was just Burns standing there and Smithers was nowhere to be found so I had to store the manor again. Think I'll just keep Smithers away from the control building until this is worked out.
