Street Bowling?!?

My Springfield has TWO bowling alleys, and, yet, Gloria's 4-hour "Practice Bowling" task doesn't take place at either of them....instead, she's walking down the street throwing bowling balls! I mean, I appreciate that it's a visible task, but why can't she bowl visibly at Pin Pals, the way several other characters can? EA really threw a gutter bail with this one!

  • With the lanes stored, the task becomes partially inactive. It prompts the inventory to open, and illustrated that you need the lanes from inventory to complete the task.

    This action, of prompting a needed item from inventory, is a new feature. It wasn't always like that.

    Does seem daft.

    No, I don't....I got tired of being constantly insulted/attacked by Patric, and when Alissa, and even Safi(!) piled on the last time, I decided I was done posting there. I still lurk there (and once in a long while will "Like" a comment), but I don't post comments there anymore (which can sometimes be really hard when I see someone who posts a comment looking for help/info and no one responds and I know I could have helped).

    In general, I've cut down my time commenting in TSTO-related forums a lot, but, when I do, it's either here or on TOUK.

    I lurk on that site all the time and you always had great advice and help, sorry they were so hard on you
  • I sometimes go on that site for the "should I spend donuts on..." write-ups. I never comment there though. Bit of a weird vibe.
  • RIP TSTO Addicts... Patric killed that site long ago... I was a multiple times a day visitor for years but haven’t been there in who knows how long, I wasn’t even aware it was still a thing.

    Ditto on your first three thoughts. As for the last sentence, it's still a good place to get game info, which is why I still lurk there.

    Thank you - that's sweet of you to say! I enjoyed helping both the posters who had the questions, and Alissa, so she wouldn't have to answer the same questions a gazillion times on her own. I still feel bad about not doing the former anymore, but I don't feel bad about not doing the latter anymore.
