Springfield Downs glitch

It might have. After I built it, I tried it out once and exited the game. Then when I came back, it said "hey, you need to do this quest" and now I am just stuck. I tried about 6-8 times and cannot find a way around.

You have any spare decorations you can sell? It's the only thing I can think of.

Can you store it?

I do, but it won't let me sell anything. I bascially can't interact at all with my springfield. can't interact with buildings, cant collect money, cant go into any menus, can't go into wacking mode, cant even visit other springfields.


Thanks for trying though. I am not sure why this is the only quest like this. Maybe I am the only one this has happened too. I did a search in the forums, and I have seen a lot of complaints about the Downs, but nothing related to what I am dealing with.


The only positive thing is that when the daily reward came up today, it did let me collect that.

I am not sure if I restarted it. I did uninstalled it and re-downloaded it. That didn't work. I found that I can get money from some buildings that are in view. When I open the game, it locks in to where the Downs is and won't let me scroll around the town. but I can grab money from 3 buildings that are near it. I am thinking by sunday afternoon I should be able to get it to $5000 and be done with being stuck in this.

I would think if you hit the edit /4 arrows button "the middle button lower right hand side just as it launches you should be able to store the thing, and play till you get enough cash to do the quest..

I have the same issue and nothing of that you suggested worked. I need help I've put so much money, time and effort in it.

Since i've built Springfield Downs everytime i open the game, it forces me to bet on the 1:2 dog. When i say forces I mean i cannot to anything else but bet on the dog. I dont have enough cash and it wont let me purchase more. Whenever i open the game it has a sort of spotlight around sprinfield downs and an arrow pointing down at it, and i am unable to do anything else, not even collect money from missions or whack snakes. The only thing it lets me do is open springfield downs, place a bet, then says you do not have enough money, and prompts me to "get more money", and freezes, not letting me even cancel or purchase money. I continue to reboot the game, i've tried logging off and back in, also deleted the game and re-installed.

Here are some screenshots I shot.

Hey.
Did anyone work out how to fix this?
I'm having the same problem.
It's so frustrating.
I have the money to bet, but I have to wait like.. hours till the next race.
No matter what I do, I can't fix it.

If you have the money to do it.... Just wait till it lets you race again... It's an 8 hour cool down so wake up in the morning and do it.

I have the same problem. I cannot do anything at all. I currently have $4600 so I cannot bet. It's really frustrating

Did anyone ever find a solution for this? Cuz I just go this problem. I can't click anything, can't store the Downs away, and it's forcing me to bet 2k on the 2:1 dog when I only have 916. If the game would let me click on stuff to collect, I'm sure I could've picked up the 2k, not to mention the 24hr cooldown on visiting friends' Springfields is just about up for me. But I can't do anything but try to bet on the dog and when it says I'm too poor and asks if I wanted to get more money, everything's dimmed and I can't select anything and it doesn't budge.

Someone please tell me there's a solution somewhere and I just hadn't Googled my way onto it yet? Pretty please?
