During Winter, I have anyone who doesn't have some kind of appropriate dress for a skin or visual task (eg Festivus CBG, Mr. Plow, Carl's "Icelandic Heritage" task) go indoors. Also Duffman, just because I feel it's in character for him to be the crazy guy who would wear a sleeveless shirt in winter (and cause his only indoor task is 30 mins long). During the rest of the year, visual tasks. This includes putting away most NPCs.
Kang and Kodos are pretty much always laughing. Similarly, I pretty much always have Eddie and Lou, and Lenny and Carl, on the same timed task.
I try to put the Channel 6 and KBBL tasks on the same timing.
I try as much as humanly possible to have the Muntz House animation active.
I cycle through Barneys tasks in this order: "Go on a Binge", then "Sleep in the Gutter", then "Sober Up".
I have all my "factory" buildings, including the SNPP, faced so that the smoke blows the same direction when the animation is active.
When a task arises in a quest wherein a large number of characters can go on that task, I send all that I can.
There are some things I pretty much always have to tap on when I see them: the Dancing Reindeer, Casino Nessie, Homers Ballet, the Inanimate Carbon Rod, Sir Loves A Lot...
