Showbiz Bob

I have a question to all players? How do I get showbiz Bob? I see a few people with him? I would love to have him. Thanks for all your help
  • You need to first get Sideshow Bob. You get him upon completing Flaw and Order Pt. 3, which requires you to arrest Sideshow Bob.

    Thing is; there is a measly 10 percent chance for him to randomly spawn in your town, of which there will be a notification of him in your town.

    (Hey, it could be worse. We could be playing the game pre-Terwilligers event, and pray to the RNGod to bless us with the 1 PERCENT chance for him to spawn so we can arrest him.)

    Showbiz Bob is a costume as well I believe. You would need both SB and the costume.

    There is a quest line called 'Flaw and Order', parts 1, 2 and 3. Once the 3rd task is completed you will get Sideshow Bob as a playable character. You may need to be patient waiting for the quests to appear, as they come up at random and are not linked to any particular level. I had to wait until level 336 to get SSB in my newest town. Unfortunately the quest line is bugged and doesn’t trigger for some players. EA are aware of this bug (and have been for many months) but so far haven’t solved the problem.
    There are 2 costumes (skins) that are available for Sideshow Bob - Captain Bob and Wes Doobner.
  • I'm almost at Level 500 in my main town and have never gotten to see SB outside of the one time you do have to tap him during the "story".

    EDIT: I THINK I got to Flaw and Order Pt. 3, I just have to wait and hope SB drops and see.
  • I came into this topic thinking "Showbiz Bob" was a new skin for Sideshow Bob. It's not but now I wish it was.

    We need a skin for Bob in his costume from the Krusty the Clown show and he should have tasks to get hit with pies and shot out of a cannon like Mel.

    Ok so I am at part 2 for BOB and I tapped him and he disappeared

    If you have the quest in your task bar, you can tap him in Other Springfield to complete the quest. You can also read this guide:
