Send everyone on a task at once!

I think a good solution to this type of thing would be to have task presets. You would set up a batch of tasks for people. Say I want to create a task preset called "4 hour jobs". Then I'd go through and manually assign everyone to the 4 hour jobs I'd like, including joint tasks. I could even assign the few people that don't have 4 hour jobs to the task I'd like for them when I assign everyone else to 4 hour jobs. Then I save that entire assignment as a preset that I can assign over and over.

Sort of a set of "favorites" ... For each job length? Now that I have more ingame money than I know what to do with, I often set characters on tasks of varying times. (I love to look at my town and see the Texan on the mechanical bull - 10 hours, Bernice arguing with her husband -- 8 hours, Carl as a Viking -- 24 hours, and Tatum walking the tiger -- 4 hours.) I have over 100 characters, and there are days I don't have time to assign the way I like.

I'd love to either set a group such as you describe or maybe some OPTION to have my designated favorite tasks show at the top of each character's task list whenever I choose a "list favorites first" option. If I don't deliberately choose to use that option on a given day, tasks show sorted by time just as they are now.

Its a baby step compared to your setup, but ...
