Random Tasks

If you don't like them, and it also messes with the tasks you actually want to do, the best thing to do is wait until you get one for a character that has a skin. That way you can just use their skin and it won't prompt you to do his/her task every time you select them. I currently have a 12 hour task for Moe, so I'll just use his Moog skin until I'm ready to do it.

I wish it gave you more than $50 for it. If it gave more I might actually enjoy doing them.

I always have to have at least two tasks in my book to stop randoms. (Currently Homer and Apu.)

That's different. Have you tried starting them so that they reach completion at the exact same time? That might combine the two auto generating task lines into one. If it matters, like if you prefer fewer heads on the task book list. Idk. You've probably tried this already since you frequently do things before I think them.

Anyway I just noticed your spruce caboose layout. Now I know why that train has that sick grin: he apparently killed hundreds of passengers! Lmao!

the random tasks are very annoying. i hate them. it's irrational, i know. they're just dumb tasks, but they just remind me that i don't have any "real" tasks to do.

I haven't done that, actually. Homer's task has been sitting there since last November or something, partly because I didn't really want to do it, and partly because I noticed fewer random tasks if I let it sit there. But they never stopped entirely unless I let two tasks sit there.

Mwahahaha :twisted:

I have not had a random crop task since before I planted my Christmas corn. They used to be mixed in with random character tasks.

Mine is a moonshine task I've just left.
Best way to avoid them.

I don't mind the Random Tasks, but honestly, who throws a shoe?

nah, seriously, it gives me some minor form of structure between events, so it's not too bad, and if I want to stop them from generating for a while I just wait for a crop share and make corn instead...

I don't mind them when there's nothing else going on, like now, but they are a bit annoying during quests. They're easy enough to ignore, however. Right now, i have most everyone on 24 hour tasks as I rearrange my town, so I don't mind having one character on a random task.

Apu has been feeding the octuplets for two weeks now. This game has become more boring than watching paint dry but now it is too big to fail.
